How does it work?
The One Wheel is an electric self-balancing unicycle. It has gyro sensors and a balancing computerized system like a Segway.

Is it easy to ride?
It takes between 15-40 min to learn the basic skills, so we recommend that on your first go you enlist the help of one of your friends. Let him\her be with you when you get up and hold him\her during your initial learning rides.
Any tips before I get on?
Don’t rush into trying to walk with the One Wheel and get on by yourself - leave that for the second day. On your first day just take one of your friends and hold them while you getting up. After you’re standing on the One Wheel whilst holding your friend, straighten your body and your shoulders, then lean forward with all of your body (not just with your head). Don’t lean too much, and remember to always start riding gradually. In addition, the One Wheel has an acceleration limit for your safety.
Could I ride it to work?

After you master the One Wheel you could easily carry it with you, and as it’s so portable you can always get it into buses\trains\subways\metros\cars so you could drive it straight to your destination if it’s not too far or use public transportation and shorten your walks in between. In any case you could always take the charger with you in your bag if you would like to go on longer rides after the office.
