Ok, forgive my ignorance, but it looked like a skateboard to me just with internal power. It’s not just a motorized skateboard?
It only has the one wheel (instead of 4). So it’s like a skateboard, but the closest I can come to the balance you need is a roller blade. Skateboard you can just stand on and your good. This you have to balance toe and heel, and front to back.
Even on a booster board (motorized scateboard) you don’t have to really worry about tipping over forward or backward, and toe or heel.
So an update on my jumping in with both feet.
I had set some conservative goals.
Hoped to ride at least once a month all winter – has been once a week.
Hoped to ride to work sometime this summer – I didn’t actually go to work, but I rode to work and back home. Now I’m going twice to 3x the distance I would go to work.
Sometime this summer (or next) I would ride to the store for small shopping trips. Already done.
So now I’m setting some (hopefully more conservative goals) after a surprising long 5 mile ride over the weekend.
But in anycase, here is part of a 3.5 mile ride I did a few days ago. I’m still getting used to editing 360 video, and I finally figured out how to make the stick invisible.
