The other onewheel things I've seen on the trails at Duthie a few times.
And if not the riders and devices themselves, but their tire tracks (its a very distinctive flat/wide single tread).
Even though they are explicitly illegal there (same with ebikes... but you see those there too sometimes).
The upside is these gizmos don't appear to do well on anything technical-ish. So they are really restricted to exceptionally smooth flow trails.

I have seen those on my local trails at Duthie mountain bike park already. Those and the one wheels. I also have seen kids on tiny e-motorbikes following their parents on their one wheels at Paradise mountain bike trails too, which must have been miserable considering how rooty it is there.

Poor kid looked miserable.

On Sunday I saw 2 kids illegally riding on those things, while I was illegally poaching a trail limited to just HOA members in a neighborhood I don't live in.
They didn't report me, I didn't report them. But we all got knifed by hikers. (OK, I made up that last part).

come on, I already blew my gasket on the DHL thread when I got up this morning
now you bring this to the forums ?
I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something ...
E-dorks on their E-donut can E-bite me

Holy crap he was going fast. What an idiot.
EUC’s are gay. It doesn‘t matter what kind of speed or range they get, you still look gay.
Onewheels are way more fun but they nosedive and shut off if you exceed their top speed limit and you get thrown to the pavement…. Hard.
I think eBikes in general are kinda lame. They are great if you live somewhere that won’t allow a proper dirt bike to ride around. But otherwise I find them lacking in excitement. They are way too expensive for what they are and it’s no fun having people think you are a hero for climbing up some gnarly hill just to have to admit you were on an eBike.

These things have been around for at least 10 years. I've been passed by a few on the canal trail. They're very quiet, fast, and come out of nowhere. Quite startling.
Don't worry I dont need no helmut bruh chicks dig TBIs

I saw a guy trying to ride his on the doubletrack at the park. He was having a very hard time. I said "You look stupid" as I rode by.

I want an e-moto that has bike parts, like an ebike but pegs instead of a crank.
