now that autumn rain is here I can no longer skate to work and have to cycle instead so I made this meme as a coping mechanism

it just disabled the failed battery and told me "please repair"

I'm happy that they had foresight into that exact problem, lucky you lol.

I dig the cyberpunk unicycle trend, and I hope that they continue to design them safely.

    They're always getting safer and more powerful, and those two do actually go together in self balancing vehicles. That's why the Onewheel is so unsafe, because it doesn't have the power or redundancy to have any safety margin like EUCs do.

    Onewheel

    well, in that case, I think that it is safe to say that Onewheel can eat my shit and hair

    They deliberately built the Onewheel without any speaker or even beeper to warn the rider because they thought it wouldn't be "cool." An Inmotion EUC pushed to its limit will tell you "overload, please get off" and gently slow you to a stop, a Onewheel pushed to its limit will just fuckin drop you.
