Kyle has been in the space since the very beginning and epitomises the builder mentality - having tinkered with lots of components back in the late 2000’s to build his first prototypes. They also talk a lot about funding and manufacturing as OneWheel has taken quite a different approach to others in the space in the USA. This video is also up as a Youtube video, complete with images of the vehicle as well. Specifically, they dig into:* The origins of Onewheel/Kyle’s background and motivation for starting the company * The vehicles and where they're finding a market including the breakdown between commuters and recreational users.* How Kyle thinks about community building, including Onewheel racing events.* How they think about countering the learning curve for the vehicle and their target demographic.* What the market for funding etc. has been like on your journey since the late 2000’s and why Kyle is a fan of bootstrapping. * What Kyle’s excited about in the micromobility space","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/at7G3gxGDWglvTJ3FfhPtfaxPELHBPmCFC9m1Fl166c/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZjFh/Y2JhNjg4Mzg5MzJi/ZGJlMGFmNjA4ZjU4/NzMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
