Commuting by One Wheel

A few months ago I bought a One Wheel as a fun way of commuting around Hamilton.

The One Wheel is an electric skateboard that self-balances like a Segway. It has a 30km range on a single charge, with a top speed around 30km/h and is meant to feel like snowboarding (ironically, I can’t skateboard at all and I can barely snowboard).
