These OneWheel guys got the Federal Marshals to come to CES apparently to shut down the Chinese company making literal exact knockoffs of their cool board thing.

I'm glad they did that, because then I heard of it, and it looks super cool and fun. However it costs $1500 and lol I'd rather buy a moped for a third the price.

However, that cheap chinese knockoff is probably like 80% as good and costs 30% their special American version and is on Alibaba. Is Alibaba legit still?

that's some hood poo poo and looks like a drat wheelbarrow wheel

1500 lol

Looks way cooler than those stupid hoverboard things though, and it can go like 6 miles @ 15mph, so maybe useful for a commute. Plus it could fit in my office where a moped cannot.

But yeah I can buy a car for $1500.

why would you need to put your moped in your office during work hours?

maybe you shouldnt work in the hood

Parking is expensive or far away, even for mopeds.
