  @utsu Always be safer than sorry. I'd take it just in case. You would really be kicking yourself if you found an epic place to ride. Plus+ what if there are some sweet places for pictures??? It also makes great airport transportation.

  I commute with my OW in San Francisco and it works great and is a lot of fun and gets a lot of stares. I try to use bike lanes, but also lane-split, get on and off sidewalks, etc.

  Sometimes I'm riding down the street, people see me coming on a board so they will assume I need the concrete and will start to head towards the grass strip to give way... Until I give way to them, gliding onto the grass strip and cruising on by...

  What up dudes! I'm a Senior in college and have a real minimal workload atm so I have been putting some serious hours into riding. I charge about 5-6 times a day, which means 6-7 rides. That's like 7 hours a day! We'll see how long I can keep this up lol. I'm 22 so it just feels like light exercise and I haven't been too sore. The onewheel is seriously ADDICTING! Stay soaked!

  I don't agree. Having an inadequate delay hurts riders somewhat reliably (people reposition their feet, the board stops suddenly, and they face plant). This continues to happen even now, with the delay as it is. On the other hand, a runaway board may cause (typically not much) damage or (typically not great) injury only rarely because people don't normally ride fast directly toward am obstacle and then jump/fall off. There is a balance to be struck, but it should heavily favor the rider. An enhancement to consider would be to have the board slowly de-power or coast a brief moment after the kill sequence has been started and before engaging a full brake stop. My $0.02

  Switched from Vans to DC shoes. The DC store had more sizes and styles available so I was able to get a better fit and cushioned sole. The Vans I was able to get are very hard sole and uncomfortable.

  Do NOT use WD 40 or anything on those lines!!. The bearings don't need any maintenance. Using WD40 = no bueno @jtay805

  I live in Vancouver, Canada and see these and the unicycle downtown all the time now. The first time I saw one - about 2 years ago people were staring but now I see these thinge in busy intersections without turning a single head. The scooters still look very geeky IMO, I'd take the OW any day.

  I'm using the Bell Reflex which is dual certified. It has a pretty cool look in my opinion too. Another great choice (my second) I thought was the Protech City Lite.

  @mikeyjihad agree that if you ride at walking speed that it is much less conspicuous. Adding a cart in front of you even more so. I just can't do it.
