The OneWheel is great in SF, I can take it 1.2mi to drop something off at the UPS store and back in 15min.

Doing this with mass transit would take an hour, walking would take an hour, driving would be a pain because of parking.

It's great for all sorts of little trips like this, probably up to a 6mi round trip (I have the pint).

You're gonna love the 'bicycle'.
Large, hard to store and carry upstairs, often stolen, more limited in where you can easily ride them.

I’ve been tempted by an ebike and have a fancy bike for long cycling rides, but the Onewheel is just easier for lots of quick small stuff. Plus it’s fun.

But then you don’t get to feel like riding a hoverboard
