I want one of these!!
When the folks at Future Motion set out to build a new electric skateboard, they had one guiding light leading them onward: Back To The Future 2. Inventor Kyle Doerksen knew he didn’t have the Tony Stark-level genius it would take to actually whip up an actual hoverboard, but he still wanted to emulate the feeling the feel of riding one.
And so the Onewheel, an electric, self-balancing skateboard with a single, beefy go-kart wheel, was born. Riding the Onewheel is as simple as leaning in one direction or another. Lean forward and the Onewheel’s electric motor propels you onward. Lean back and you’ll put it in reverse. (You’ll probably want to find a good helmet and some nice kneepads.) Onewheel has a max speed of 12 miles per hour, which is pretty respectable for an electric skateboard.
