Build your own Onewheel
-
This is a DIY from 2007, and it's possible this is the one Kyle followed to make his original prototype:
http://www.robosys.co.ukTwo bits I found most interesting:
-
(Regarding what's now much discussed in the pushback/nosedive threads) "At the moment there's no speed limiting which is a pain as a bit of headroom is required to stop the rider from falling off the front. I'm either going to add a buzzer indicating that the integrator is wound up and you're near max speed or some kind of auto lean back type thing."
-
(One of the reasons the Onewheel is so expensive)
"Ideally I'd like a brushless DC hub mounted motor inside the wheel, but motor and control costs were a little high."

wow. cool share. i've been asked a few times if i 'made it'. ... i can barely hammer a nail into a plank.

But seriously, looking at these "instructions," it sure makes you thankful that Kyle decided to make the leap so this tech could be purchased. I would never be able to make one of these things based on any of the DIYs I've seen. Most of it makes zero sense to me.
