Onewheel
Didn't search for other threads cuz holy fuck just had to post extemporaneously on this sick slick machine. I was sitting at the bar in Vegas (Dino's Tavern) two days ago and a former bartender there wheeled in on one. Recharged it over lunch. Demo'd it weaving between high top tables and stools. Told us how his 1-3 mile commutes/errands are now really fun. And going almost 20 at times is cool, he wears a helmet all the time. New one has a 12-18 mile range, dang! https://onewheel.com/products/onewheel-plus $1600 or so...Sort of tempting though.
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

All over the place on Maui. Looks like a blast and a great commute option if you live in the city core.

See a bunch around here. I think they are made here (Santa Cruz). They look fun, but unless it is your commute rig, kind of pricey. Fun to ride tho.

See them around here but the price is off putting.

What makes these any less prone to exploding than the two wheeled version?

the commute on my bike is generally one of the best parts of my day. A friend coined them Segways for bros when we first saw one.

seems like you're working on that just fine without one.

Greater carving performance as well as traction off road. I fly with mine and had a blast in Vegas on the strip.
Took it out to lake Mead
May have left a few marks on the carpet...and walls
Fuck cycling.

^^^ not a beer drinker but I do appreciate the fine cup of water from the tap that I had at your pad and the fantastic meal you hosted at BBI. Not sure I said anything about what is and is not cool. My bikes have been hanging on my wall since getting my onewheel and I do not miss them at all.

The golf possibility did cross my mind.

That’s badass. I can’t justify that expense though. Half that I’d be all over it.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

JFC. That ‘rap’ video [sic] is exactly what I’d expect from a golfing onewheeler. Originally Posted by permnation

I thought the only point of golf was walking from hole to hole. If you are wheeling, will you have time to finish your beer? Otherwise, all you are doing is whacking balls with a stick. Originally Posted by Tye 1on

There's a hipster douche-spigot dildo riding one of these around town, swirling his arms, swooping and dipping. His dickedness knows no bounds. In a closely related to golf rapper category.
