Looks excellent for stripping the hair and skin from the insides of your calves.

It doubles as a hair removal system!

Pretty soon, you'll just straddle a semi-truck tire and ride it like a sideways horse.

Damn, and I thought the One Wheels were sketchy...

They really built this on hard mode. There is a huge open source community making onewheels of various sizes using VESC software.

Oooh! Can you point one out to me? I always wanted an onewheel but its pricy

The aspect ratio of that tire is quite substantial. I understand that's desirable for off-road automobiles, but does the same apply here? A lot of volume inside the wheel could potentially be repurposed and filled with something that could reduce the board's moment of intertia. I presume that's a useful parameter for a self balancing craft, but idk.

Wide + Flat does seem like a recipe for the most grip. There’s a larger tyre contact patch that way.
Never ridden a one wheel though, and don’t really plan on it, so my intuition could completely be off

Quite the comfy stance.

I've seen one with a slightly smaller wheel but it seemed great
