One wheel is a self-balancing single-wheeled electric skateboard


      It's a skate board and a unicycle if anyone of you guys are into that stuff well this will be perfect for you. It uses gyros, accelerators, a rubber tire to give riders a smooth self- balanced ride to have a nice time. It is made or is trying to mimic surfing or snow boarding but on dry land. On how fast it goes depends on you and how you lean and how you want to ride it. One bad side of it is it has a battery of 20 minutes. Also, the price would be $1,200 dollars minimum you could pledge how much you want it for.
