One Wheel Death Machine

Sounds like the perfect name for a metal band doesn't it? Instead it is the latest contraption that I have found to check out.

Sounds like the perfect name for a metal band doesn't it? Instead it is the latest contraption that I have found to check out. San Francisco based Future Motion Inc has developed the OneWheel+ XR, an electric device that self balances, has a 19 mile (31 km) range, and a top speed of 20 mph (32 kph). Mine arrives on Tuesday, October 23rd, 2018. Not being a complete idiot, I have also ordered a helmet and all the appropriate accoutrements to keep me as safe as one can be balancing on a self propelled board.
