  If anything, based on these photos the Chinese "knockoff" looks more refined. The Onewheel device pictured in your first link looks like a prototype or at best, a first revision. Then again, maybe they are going for that retro-custom-modded-skateboard look?

    The knock-off looks cheaper and more likely to be made of shitty plastic. To my eyes.

      It probably is cheaper, being a knockoff. My point was more that the Onewheel device looks like something I'd slap together in my workshop out of spare metal brackets and plywood, not something I'd bring to mass market. All that said, I wouldn't ride either one. At my age bones don't heal as fast as they used to.

      Also more dangerous because of the plastic where feet would be placed. That plastic should not be added for safety reason.
