Nice video series!
With some incredibly odd timing, I documented building a onewheel right before the commercial ones existed, for a 2014 writeup:

So jealous that off the shelf hub-motor in wheel assemblies exist now, i had to build a custom hub and dealt with the oddities of planetary backlash, then ended up fitting an early direct drive motor.
- osamagirl69 5y agoIt really is amazing how much the state of the art in hub motors has come since 2012. Building silly electric vehicles is almost too easy now that you no longer need to wind your own motor and write your own bldc commutation firmware...
- dbspin 5y ago'incredibly odd timing'. I pray that I live long enough to develop such equanimity, assuming you got ripped off.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoIt's a pretty big planet. At any given time, probably thousands of engineers are simultaneously thinking of building the same "next new thing."
- AYBABTME 5y agoThere's a named phenomenon for this... I can't put my finger on it. Something about discoveries/inventions all independently piling up at the same time whenever all conditions are right in history.
- callmemclovin 5y agoMaybe you're thinking of the concept of multiple discovery: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery
