@sirgu that looks dangerous as hell. i wonder how long it takes to learn. and only 20 mins of flight time, with no altitude limit? better set a loud alarm on your watch!

At 32 and 33 seconds in, in the SkySurfer video, "I Flew into The World Games Stadium...," in the lower center to lower left corner of the screen is a Onewheel parked under a potted plant.

@franko "No altitude limit"
I'm calling hard BS on that, lol
You're altitude limit is the height until you don't have enough atmoshpere for the propellers to push againstwish is obviousBut also, if you go to high up and your battery dies
well..
Rip scrub
Edit: Sent a question to them regarding altitude and range. (The idea of running out of battery when you're super high up.)

@sirgu If it ghosts, it will cut someone's head off!

What could possible go wrong? :D

@onedangt Bruh lol

Sure it can fit in a luggage, but good luck getting any airline to let you fly with those batteries
-
@S-Leon that was well spotted!
Surely a new challenge for authorities to redefine "street legal" in PEV's. :}
Out of all curiosity - I hope you all noticed it's sideways movement thing like OW/snow-/skate-/surf-/any-board - I am trying to figure out physical aspects on that matter. Dangerous indeed, not gonna be a widespread convenient consumer item.
-
@sirgu I was thinking about that when I was looking to buy a OW
My college treats PEVs the same as bikes since a lot of people have a lot of electric scooters and skateboards. On Campud Police, staff and even teachers seem fine with my OW whenever I entered class with it.

Once you dig into that ... bunchloads of YouTube recommendations coming along, lol.

Well, this >Lexus Slide< is an interesting concept! Gotta keep an eye on that where this is heading.

The OP calls it 'flywheel XR'.
Well this is a real 'Captain Morgan pushback'. -
@sirgu
Hacksmith Industries already made a hoverboard like this, but they ran into some wacky issues -
And .. here we go again

@sirgu
"How to go out in a blaze of glory"Oh God, that thing goes 90?!
-
@sirgu flight time of 10 minutes :P

@cheppy44 ~~ imagine if the battery runs out of juice at 100 feet~~

A new Kickstarter campaign started a few days back
: Flyte: The Ultimate Gravity-Defying Hoverboard :
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flyte/flyte-the-ultimate-gravity-defying-hoverboardIt's not a rideable .. it is ... well, read it, if you will. -
@sirgu Omg this is so cool.
But the price is like waaay too much for my purse. -
@sirgu said in Other 'FLOAT' prototype devices:
It's not a rideable
But have they tried it on a mag lev train track, hmmmm?

@OneDanGT You mean like the others did it with Lexus Slide Hoverboard back in this video?
--I see where your imagination is going. :}
Indoor skatepark with magnetic levitation flooring and smooth obstacles. Sign on entrance reads: "Please hand over your phone, keys and any metal accessories before you buy a ticket to the track!"
Let's dream big for the future!
