This is a post that I am sure all you
skaters/surfers will love. I will be discussing the amazing new invention
called the Onewheel. This device is just to cool that as soon as I saw it I had
to blog about it. It is a “self-balancing
electric skateboard that gives you the feeling of flying.”1 If you can
imagine a skateboard and a Segway met and had a baby this is what the outcome
would be.
“Onewheel
has the most advanced motion sensing, hub motor and battery technology available--you
just won't see it. What you'll experience is a board that feels magical whether
for fun, waiting for the surf to come up, or getting around town.”2 This device
is just incredible and revolutionary. From pictures shown it really shows that
you can do so much more on the Onewheel compared to a skateboard for
transportation, such as riding it down mountains, or on the beach. It looks
like a great time no doubt.
Another advantage to this new technology? “Most people can learn to ride Onewheel in a
couple minutes even if they're not used to boardsports. That's because
controlling a Onewheel is so intuitive. Powerful sensors and sophisticated
algorithms are constantly helping you balance and control your ride with just
the forward or backward lean of your body. People with experience with other
boardsports are often ready to ride aggressively within their first few minutes
on Onewheel.”3 You can even connect the Onewheel to your smartphone via Bluetooth,
which allows you to access their app and control your device even more!
If I had the money to spend $1,500 on one of
these I definitely would.
To conclude this blog post I will add a link
to a Onewheel video that shows more about the device in great detail and visuals. Thank you
for reading and Stay tuned for more posts about the new technology that would
one day be the norm.
