Onewheel: the self-balancing electric skateboard

The self-balancing electric skateboard is an eye-catching innovation that embraces the spirit of a hoverboard, but delivers it in a device that you can buy now and could become the next must-have means of getting around.

Onewheel electric skateboard can speeds at 12 miles per hour and uses EMS gyros and accelerometers, which are the similar to those that allow you to play games and suchlike on your handset or tablet computer.

The Onewheel can be controlled using body movements, much like a skateboard.

To move forwards and get yourself up to top speed you simply lean forwards onto the front foot. Meanwhile, slowing yourself down again or even going backwards can be achieved by leaning backwards. What’s more, thanks to the built-in regenerative braking system, it’s also possible to recharge the battery when you’re out and about. With practice, it’s entirely likely you’ll be able to perform full 360-degree turns with ease.
