I’ve put together this page to document a one-wheeled balancing scooter / skateboard that I’ve just finished. It’s the culmination of several iterations over the last few years, and definitely my favourite.
It’s very similar to a snowboard to ride, requiring no user input other than the movement of your body mass. Leaning forwards and backwards controls the velocity and moving your weight from heal to toe controls the turn radius. It’s easy and very intuitive to ride.

that’s totally amazing! I wanna build one for myself now. :)
VERY well done.
Looks fun too- though this MAKEr would have worn wrist,elbow and knee guards like inline skates.
Makes me proud to be British! Sure, segway is USA, but we juts made it hip!
PLEASE bring this to the Maker Faire! :-)
This looks sweet! I really wanna make my own too!!!
