    Onewheel is such a cool thing. I rode mine everywhere where you would think it shouldn’t be possible. But the company itself can honestly go fuck themselves. I had soeme problem with mine (still have, just found a not so fancy workaround) but since i don’t live in the u.s, shipping is expensive and i read some horror stories of rapairs that took forever, i can’t just ship it around just so they ship it back without them doing jack shit for month. Their quality control seems to rival teslas, since mine should have never left the factory, it never ran before it arrived at my doorstep. And theyr customer service is absolute ass.
    They just happen to have that one niche product no one else can do as good (when it works)

      I think lots of companies could do better (the e-scooter and e-bike market is quite diverse). Too bad Future Motion does not want to license their patent on the form factor filed in 2013, which means we might have to wait until 2033. However, the patents might be their most valuable asset after the recall, and they may be forced to share them if they lose enough money.
