Oneweel Ride
Description
Shot entirely on GoPro HERO 9 Onewheel is a self-balancing single wheel electric board-sport, recreational personal transporter, often described as an electric skateboard. Unlike the electric unicycle, the riders feet (and body) are typically pointed at a perpendicular angle to the wheel and direction of travel. Onewheel’s single wheel contains a brushless electric motor that spins to propel riders forwards or backwards, and makes thousands of micro-adjustments per second to keep riders balanced. To use the board, riders place their feet on either side of the wheel. Riders’ front feet go on top of two pressure-sensitive pads that detect when riders are on the board. To direct the board, riders lean slightly in the direction they want to travel. To stop, riders lift their heel off the side of the front footpad. Each Onewheel has three internal accelerometers and gyroscopes that continuously measure the orientation of the board in space. These monitors take readings approximately 14,000 times per second in order to tell the motor what to do to help riders balance and move. All models use 'Pushback' to warn the rider that they are about to reach the maximum safe speed. Pushback gently forces the nose of the Onewheel up when riders approach unsafe speeds, alerting riders that they need to slow down. Riders can choose to use an app that displays battery charge and miles traveled, and regulates different modes for the rider. The app also allows riders to control other board functions to personalize how the board responds to their riding style. #onewheel #onewheelxr
