The body needs to not only balance the wheel side-to-side, but also front-to-back. Note the pedal height is lower than the axle. I wonder what is the learning curve like?

How many people in the world do you think can ride it? And how many people are going to be in the hospital because they try to learn to ride it? You do realize one can still scoot on a skateboard. With this thing, it's downhill or you are not moving. Get on your wheel with the power off. Pretty much the same feeling on the thing. The guy may have cheated a little bit by tightening the axle nuts really tight to get some stiction in the bearings. Even if he did, it still can't be easy to ride that thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel is too heavy but this might be a good learner; light, and low pedal height. Looks like a lot of fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're are right, the rotational inertia (moment of inertia) would be too high to learn to balance on. However, you sound more adventurous than me by a country mile. The challenge would be much too high for me. I dislike hospital time very much. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
