Oh look another Rossman PSA to show us how evil some company is. Also, the sun rose today.
I stopped giving this guy credence after his series of videos on how "dangerous" onewheels are (I now own 2, and...GASP also drive a Hyundai with an EPB). I don't fault his motivation, but his propensity to assert that edge cases are likely mainstream is just far too much to be taken seriously.
Risks exist. Be informed.
One wheels aren't shit for being dangerous, they're shit for bricking the device if you try to replace the fucking battery, as well as other anti-consumer practices.
What's weird is I have replaced the batteries in both of mine. It's actually easier than spreading FUD.
Alas, I must be imagining that they still work; surely your version of reality is canon.
