Wrong colour dude

[@JohnWayneStraightcy]

Slavery was abolish in 19something.

[@Pootie_Tang]

No, but you can adopt him as your son

[@byllynallee9238]

Your grandpa would be really happy to see this comment

[@blackshell4286]

​​@@JohnWayneStraightcy I think it still is. If slavery meant owning a human being and making them do what you wanted, then it still exists. In player football, actors and singers. When they make a contract with a company, they become slaves who cannot do many things unless they are allowed to do them .

[@RickMelges]

Hey, This is me riding my float bike and Float Lifre Fest 6! The Question I get a lot is isn't an ebike cheaper? Well, I already had the Onewheel but wanted to find a safer way to ride it with my OneWheel friends. So I took my mountain bike and welded a harness for my OneWheel GT. I know its now an E-Bike now, but Way cooler with a Onewheel, and no fear of Nosedives!

[@freshlycharged]

Thanks for sharing this with us Rick!

[@michealcorbin6095]

Sorry but that looks like it has 2 wheels to me

[@Unknown_Ooh]

​@@michealcorbin6095r/whoosh the rear thing is called a onewheel with being the only method of propulsion the other wheel is static but if you add both wheels yes it's two wheels but the back device is still a one wheel at the end of the day.

[@freshlycharged]

I want to see it!

[@thechumpsbeendumped.7797]

I’ve thought this for a while. A streamlined Velomobile would fly with an EUC powering it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the range stayed pretty close to what a person standing on one would do despite the extra weight.

[@EdLrandom]

@@thechumpsbeendumped.7797 Daaamn! velomobile? Would be awesome for camping. You are right, the shell's aero shape will help with the weight, and could even fit an extra battary in there.

That is actually genuinely unique! He press down on the pedal to go forward and pedal back to slowdown/brake. Just like a fixie bike! Amazing!

Thanks! Yeah, I hardly use the front bike brake! Use that back pedal to slow to a stop. And it regenerates power on the slowdown. That’s nice!

don’t show this to Louis. he’ll have a fit.

[@mystica-subs]

Actually I think this is the one way that it would be safe considering you could fall off if you were standing on it but if it decided to stop while you were riding it just stops the bike [maybe you skid a bit]

[@FeverDreamRemix]

Tell him to take one of the pedals and arms off and then pop it back on so that they're both the same so it will be easier to ride with even footpegs since he doesn't have to pedal anymore. Also I'm not sure how those things exactly work but could he ride somebody else on the back of it standing up? That is too cool. I love his ingenuity. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@RickMelges]

Thanks! The pedal shaft switch won’t work because I use the back pedal to slow and stop.

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

The thing about people like this is, they aren’t necessarily thinking “can I make something better”, they’re thinking “can it be done?”, “would this work?”. You don’t need a degree to be a scientist.

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

@RAWS420 you don’t think inventing something requires any science, particularly physics?

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

@RAWS420 again, engineering requires science. You have to understand the scientific principles in order to employ them (engineering).
