The Onewheel
[$1,499] / [£1,000 + International postage]
One day a snowboard and a motorbike loved each other very much. The snowboard asked the motorbike to do all sorts of weird stuff it wasn’t comfortable with, but they nevertheless eventually produced a child. That child is the Onewheel, a motor-powered 2 horsepower beast board with a wheel in it that allows you to carve your way through fields, footpaths and families. Since we’re not getting proper hoverboards anytime soon, this thing that looks like a disabled skateboard is the best we’ve got. The charger ships with it and can juice you up in twenty minutes. It comes with regenerative braking, intelligent LED lighting and self balancing technology. Basically all this means is if you deck it it’s your own stupid fault for trying to ride up a wall or something.
