Taking the idea of a floating skateboard, often seen in fiction films, Onewheel looks fancy with a big cake set in the middle. "The accelerometer sensor and gyroscope sensor, plus motor and battery technology, are designed for larger electric vehicles, all combined in a new way," said founder Future Motion. - Kyle Doerksen describes Onewheel. However, the technology is driven by an algorithm that according to Future Motion has been developed over the years.

Doerkson said the unusual design of the Onewheel made the user familiar with the subject, and from there will arise unique control techniques.
