When was the last time you did something for the first time . What the heck happened . Im learning to ride a device called a one wheel designed in santa cruz and built in san jose. The less you think the easier it is. Reporter its as if a snowboard unicycle and segue got together and had a love child. Whoa. I feel like marty mcfly reporter from back to the future of course who inspired a generation of geeks to invent a floating hover board. It has a single large rubber tire in the middle with a battery pack on one end and components and a foot Pressure Sensor on the other. No hand control. Reporter gyro stabilizers with high speed processors detect shifts in weight making it smooth and responsive. Its all about feel. So you lean into every turn you take. And it creates this amazing flow that just sort of, um, you know, the less you think about it, the better. Reporter this means you can carve wide sweeping turns on concrete and navigate obstacles with precision. This is amazing this is totally blowing my mind. Reporter whats more, the one wheel goes off road and uphill. Maximum speed is 12 miles an hour with a range of six miles. And since all the components are sealed, you can even go in water. Anything that you see is rideable on a one wheel. So sort of the world becomes your playground. Reporter maybe this is what it feels like to touch the future, an experience thats all at once familiar and completely different from anything you have ever done before. And so one wheel says the vast majority of people figure this thing out and can be riding ton at speed turning back and forth within about five minutes. However, there is a small subset of people about 5 that they have noticed that cant be helped. Are you part of the 5 . Reporter no. Actually, he said i was in the top 30 where you just jump on it and zoom. So there you go. Pat my back there. How much does it cost if you wanted to buy one . Reporter yeah, so, um, 1,500 is what it costs. Theres really only one model. And the turnaround time on that the shipping about eight weeks. So if you are looking for a Christmas Gift jump on it now.

Everything on time now for mass transit. Westbound 580 we are seeing some of the delays.

Thats also in the clearing stages. The rest of the south bay no troubles. 101 looking good. 580 has been a trouble spot all morning long. We had some late morning roadwork westbound loading up quickly out of tracy delays through the Altamont Pass. Altamont pass to 680 westbound is about 24 minutes. There is a road closure this morning. There is a tesla fire in livermore so avoid that intersection if you can this morning. Westbound 4 at the dublin interchange, youre going to see a few extra brake lights but overall once you get on 680 traffic is okay. 880 oakland, northbound a few brake lights there.
