I’ve always been half-way obsessed with the concept of electrical transports. In combination with green energy it’s possible for us all to one day travel wherever we want, when we want, without massively degrading our surroundings.

We all know of the harm modern transports do to our environment, and how all modern cities are built with car accessibility as the number one priority. In larger cities it’s to the level where it’s actually more convenient to take the car 1 mile to the closest grocery store than it is to walk or even bike there.

I believe that this is unsustainable and harmful to our health in more ways than one, but what’s the alternative when we have gotten so reliant on our motorized vehicles?

I recently decided to put down a (for me) rather large sum on something most people would consider a toy – a OneWheel Plus.

After paying for shipping, a fender and safety equpment, I had spent over $2000 in total.

At first glance you might consider this to be a waste of money, but it ended up being everything I hoped for and more.

Electrical boards are a perfect combination of speed, maneuverability and convenience.

It has filled a need that nearly everybody has had without being aware of it.

No longer do I need to take the car any distance under 6-7 miles, and considering the average distance for a car trip is 9.4 miles, I use my car far less than before, saving hundreds of dollars a year in just gasoline money. Not to mention less mileage, and a less frequent need of service on my car.

Even when I need to go longer distances, I find myself often bringing my board on the bus half way because riding it is just a crazy amount of fun.

There are many different types of boards.

The market is growing fast and there’s something for everybody, regardless of whether you prioritize a fun ride on various road conditions and trails or want to ride 25 miles on in a single trip.

I truly believe that these are things that can potentially change the way our cities are built, and enhance life by making every day an adventure.

Join the future and retouch your life in the process.
