![]() It became an integral part of his life, especially when he launched his very own company in 2017 called The Float Life. But that passion wasn’t only confined to the quick weekend rides on the bustling streets and the neighborhood. Jeff McCosker is among one of the many Californians who discovered Onewheeling and became passionate about it. Think of it as a skateboard and a Segway getting together and having a baby.” “The interesting thing about Onewheeling compared to the other board sports out there is that you have a gyro and it’s self-balancing,” Jeff McCosker said. The Float Life and the Onewheel Community After 8 years of tinkering, planning, and designing a handful of prototypes, Doerksen eventually quit his day job and founded his company, Future Motion Inc. And it’s all thanks to the genius mind of Kyle Doerksen - the brainchild behind Onewheel. ![]() You can say that the Onewheel is an impressive feat of engineering, because it really is. As the Onewheel uses a combination of sensors, it monitors your motion and provides the correct voltage to the drive hub motor. And the more you lean, the faster you’ll go. When you lean forward, the board’s electronic controllers take control. Combined with the way the board balances gives a very unique feel to riding and is often referred to as floating in the Onewheel community. Having a single large tire helps you more easily ride over uneven terrain and on more technical trails that are typically used for mountain bikes. To use the board, you have to step on the platform with your trailing leg, placing your front foot on the blue section of the front to engage the sensors. The single wheel contains a brushless electric motor that propels riders forwards or backward. What is Onewheel?Ī Onewheel is essentially an electric skateboard. While these boards don't exactly veer away from the sense of familiarity with skateboarding, Onewheeling offers a whole new experience of what board sports are all about. For so many years, skateboards ruled the West Coast - particularly in Los Angeles, where every skatepark teem with its own set of features.īut in 2014, Onewheel boards emerged and even skateboarders found themselves enjoying the riding experience. In California, the streets are abound with men and women navigating on their Onewheels. “It would make a lot of sense for Arm to at least have a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange eventually.Austen Silva racing on his Onewheel XR at FloatLife Fest. ![]() “Arm is a UK company, arguably one of the more globally successful technology companies in the UK, and there is a lot of support in the London City for Arm,” he said. Now a venture capital investor in a series of UK tech companies, Hauser sold his shareholding in Arm in 2016 when it was bought by SoftBank for £24bn in 2016. ![]() Hauser is an Austrian physicist who holds a doctorate from Cambridge University and helped set up Arm in 1990 after his first venture Acorn, which made the successful BBC Micro computer. Softbank said on Saturday it had submitted a draft registration statement for the listing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. “The fact is that New York of course is a much deeper market than London, partially because of the Brexit idiocy the image of London has suffered a lot in the international community.” “The problem is, to IPO on two stock exchanges at the same time is an enormous amount of work, so the administrative effort is double,” he said. Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, he explained why in his view the business had decided against a dual listing in London and New York.
