Yeah, even offering customer service and dealing with returns is a never ending cost that doesn't translate to success. The difficulties of starting a business is why I think at we really need to support small businesses.
8:09 I love that you are one of the first people to actually advertise / sponsor electrolytes correctly. Electrolytes contain high sodium for people who actually need more sodium on a day-to-day basis.
@@samus88 In my country they're completely forbidden on public ground. Electric skateboards too. Only electric things that have a handlebar and independent brakes per wheel are allowed.
The caster actually needs to have its own caster angle from the base so that it is tipped and returns to the centre. It would allow the wheel to still turn but it would need to slightly tip the whole assembly as the caster angle gets shallower but would be more stable than even the longer wheelbase. You can also shorten the "fin"
For years now ive been using one of those spam can key openers as my trolley key. You know they little metal tab thing you break off the side, to turn and twist off the top of the can? They fit perfectly into the larger coin slot, the other end even has a little hole in it that you can use to attach it to your key chain.

This allows the user to have the correct tool on hand to remove and reattach the stand when travelling. In other words, Integrated storage location for required tool. Description of the storage: A 10mm hole (or whatever the head is on the bumper screws) oriented exactly like the decorative strength holes, full length through entire frame.

Wild ride of a video!!! I know nothing about deisgn or 3D printing I just like seeing the idea going pop and the filament going boop. But as a commercial lawyer, I was squinting my eyes the whole time on this one 😂 I completely support the decision you came to in the end - this kind of stuff can unravel into such a mess.
Pro tip: if you want to thread screws into your 3D prints, google what is the required drill hole size for actual tapping of a specific thread, that will give you the right hole size to model.

As someone that brings products to market (Specifically injection molded accessory for products). You just saved yourself from a lot of headaches. The reason these bigger creators are able to make it seem easier is because they have a team that can help them, which costs a lot of money. It's all about economies of scale for that. If you have 10 million+ subscribers and can afford to shell out $10,000 - $50,000 a month and the market is big enough for the product then I would say go for it, but there's more factors to consider when the market size isn't huge and you don't have the capital to hire people that are good at the things you are not. Keep creating! 🥂
I love the that you recognized that having a product would make and up so much of your time and take away from your time as a creative, keep making cool stuff :)
This! Absolutley this! I just soft launched a 3d printed a camera cooling product and the amount of people along the way who were saying to Patent, mass produce etc. As a solo designer making niche products in a market where things are copied, remixed, watered down and sold on aliexpress, temu or wherever, I think I rather focus on the fun of making things that improve the quality of life of the things I own and use rather than trying to make a patent war on every little thing that seems game changing.
thats dope, i agree on the just make it and then if you see a huge demand.....make more and invest in it. but front loading the costs and legal costs for a product to me is the wrong move. unless its revolutionary. i got an idea.....could i run it by you?
And released under a creative commons license. Good man! Personally, knowledge and experience are their own rewards with a lot of things. The joy in creating something that you use that actually works and makes your life better and if you get daily use out of it, its a source of pride. In my view mission accomplished and releasing it out there for others to use is admirable. With any luck it'll come back to you because it's the maker community really that you're investing in. I know in my case I've released designs that I've spent many hours working on and they've helped others and I've downloaded and used designs from others that have helped me. Kudos!

While this seems like a good idea, I'd be worries about dirt and other debris getting caught in it. Keeping the wheel design simple makes it easier to clean and clear of gunk.
I would love to see more videos like this, a lot of your stuff only show the positive parts of a design/process and it's much more interesting to see everything in my opinion, including the problematic & slow bits.
Not to be a party pooper, but eh, I would rotate the driving direction 90°, like the suitcases your idea started with. Some benefits: 1. Your hand is in a more comfortable angle. 2. The applyed thrust forward does not want to tip the board, even if you would start to run or step back in an instant ('Oh, I forgot something back there') 3. You would not have to extend your arm forward like now but keep it at a convenient location beside your body. 4. The steering would be a lot easier, intuitive. Just a suggestion. Sorry for the typos, not a native English speaker/writer.
i actually really love what you decided to do with this idea. this might sound crazy, but i have a belief that says that the MORE we all share our ideas for free, the more that we all will benefit. which is a little counterintuitive since we've all been taught to "turn it into a business". you WILL be successful in the way that you want to be. i can feel that it's coming for you and am so excited. this was such an enjoyable process to watch you have a problem, develop a solution, then to go on this journey that, for now, culminated in you finding a satisfying solution that also helps other people. love love love it. give us more! 😁💖
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and never realized that I wasn't subscribed. That changes now. Love your vibe, my guy. Can't wait to see you reach 20 million subscribers. You definitely deserve it!
I think the best decision would be to have these made out of aluminum. It would cost money to set up, but they could be anodized in colors, stronger, more durable, and would survive drops or crashes. It would also look much more luxurious.
Your videos are incredible man, happy I found your channel recently. Keep creating, keep striving, and keep doing what makes you happy. Doing what you love everyday and getting paid to do it is the real dream and you’re living it man!
Upgrade it with two brushless motors, encoder , battery and a cam . you have the first onewheel with the follow me add , like a smart trolley. You have a lot of space inside your 3d model
Way to go! Loved how you wrapped up the video. By sticking with what is working for you. Also your personally is perfect for making RUclips videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
W Morley upload ! Love how you picked back up on this project, it’s so awesome to see you go through the ups and downs of these dilemmas and find your standing ground at the end. W thought process. W vid man!
From watching your videos (and I might be wrong) you appear to have missed out an important step. Market research. You have solved a problem that *you* have. Before you launch a product you need to know if other people want or need it. I think you've made the right move. Grow your channel, it's coming on really well. Then think about products.
You made the right decision. I've been watching you since you were tiny just started... I knew you were going to grow fast and you have! Keep going, you are just getting to the best part right around the corner~!~
Wish I had found you 2 years ago when we started building a Skoolie to live in full time, the woodwork def would’ve been much better quality, but so glad to be here now :)
I like the maker space idea. I think a lot of stores have a place where you can keep items you don't want to carry into the store. Personally I wouldn't drag around a one wheel in one hand and also move a trolley or carry a shopping basket in the other hand. The idea makes sense in all other scenarios like if you're passing through areas where you're not allowed to operate it or maybe when the battery dies off. Otherwise you have great problem solving skills 👍.
Honestly, you seem really stoked about your YT channel and it seems to be making money for you as well. You strike me as the kind of person who gets excited by new ideas and loves finding new projects, so getting stuck into one area or product might not be your jam. The other thing is that you are a fantastic story teller. I have very little interest in the niche one wheel market and I’m not even that connected to 3D printing or making stuff. But I have been watching your videos from beginning to end because your process is so interesting, your online presence is fun and you make well edited videos. If you can continue to make a living, why not follow your heart for a while. And I’ll keep watching your content.
12:25 FYII you can put threads on models at least in Fusion 360, and all my uses of threads have always worked wonderfully. You'd just need to figure out which threads you'd need to use, then yu wouldn't need to blast it with a torch, which some people might not have. Without the print having tthreads, twisting the bolt into the print would alson work better then pushing, as pushing.... pushes some of the material out of the way.
Lmao just a backyard tinkerer thinking he's a genius 🤷🏻🤣 bruh needed 11 iterations to make the most basic possible solution. Being an engineer and pursuing PhD in mechanical design, I think he'd have been more productive if he just fkn talked to a professional at this field and save thousands of hours. Big LOL if you know mechanical engg.
I just got into 3D printing and your channel has been both entertaining and inspirational, really glad you decided to stick with RUclips instead of trying to sell a niche product 👍
Without even viewing this video I want to say that ideas are a dime a dozen. It takes dedication, hard work, money and time to make them into a million dollar product.
I dont even own a OneWheel but your videos bring me joy. Your positive energy and lovely narration is going to take you far ahead in this journey of yours! Good luck brother ❤
Tollomer from Z-Polymers...US based company.... can be used on family printers...approx half weight Aluminium and stronger than carbon stranded filaments....
Props for giving away the idea. In a better world this is how all inventions would be released. If you want to balance it without massive trial and error, you need to find the centre of mass (CoM). The simplest way to to this is to balance it, which you can probably do to find its front-to-back position. Side-to-side doesn't matter for the balance you want, but it's the top-to-bottom position that needs work. The way to do this is to hang it from one end with a thin rope, then hang a plumb line (just a string with a weight on one end) beside it. Line up a camera so both strings/ropes are lined up, and the plumb line in the image will pass directly in front of the CoM. Also you could just stand it up on its end and feel when it's balanced, then take a photo from the side with a plumb line in the shot. Or you could just guess the CoM is in the middle of the wheel, which seems reasonable actually since the bulk of the board is centred around that wheel. If you know where the front-to-back CoM is, you can intersect those lines for the actual CoM, then import that position into your 3D modelling program and just line up the design so it'll work first time.
1:18 "After three minutes you just feel like an absolute clown." Its well known that an adult walking around in a skater boi helmet wearing a child-sized backpack and carrying an electric unicycle looks cool for three minutes, but that FOURTH minute... hoo boy.
Great video and great idea man! I also believe you are at the right path, you'll hit some clever product idea soon! Btw, I recognize that Safeway at Commercial Broadway station. Cheers from West end ;)
You should add a slot to keep the original screws inside the body of the stand, maybe even a mini screwdriver holder inside? Just use one of the holes i think
Love your videos man. My skills extend as far as Tinkercad...for now. Even a small mastery of Tinkercad has come in immensely useful over the last year or so, and I plan on learning a 'big boy' CAD program. Keep doing what you're doing, I always look forward to an upload.
freecad 1.0 just launched a short time ago. might wanna give it a shot. there are some great advantages of foss compared to fusion 360, even though freecad is a bit harder to learn.
i mean... it's a cool idea. but honestly, i would never use it. even if im just riding to the store for a couple groceries, i'll be riding aggressively, and jumping off curbs and stairs... i couldn't see myself putting this on before going out. plus, it just looks super goofy... lol. i just throw my wheel in the cart that i would already be using anyway, or just go to the customer service desk and tell them "hey im going to leave this behind the counter so i don't have to carry it, i'll bew back in 5 minutes" "ok no problem! :)" i have never really seen this as an issue, personally. it is a very creative idea though, and it made for some good videos!
For me you can do 2 things: 1- Value to use metal or more resistant material for your tool and second try something like kickstarter or similar for try to start and see if can works. For me can value wait more for doin great steps later. Great video as always man, a big hug from Italy.
screw tires or multidirectional tires seem like it could have been a good upgrade for the wheels instead of dealing with the caster pivoting. There are also 3d printed designs for such tires using standard bearings and materials.
Using a one-wheels is just stupid and dangerous. It reminds me of the chairs from WALL-E, where people became overweight because they were always using those chairs and never moved their legs.
I like the point you made at the end about the ability this provides for other technically minded people to refine the design. If more inventors thought this way, we would see some truly amazing things.
I think you can do it all and come on top. Open source it + no patents, and use 3D printing farm to sell it to those who don't have the time, expertise, or 3D printer. If OneWheel, or another company copies your product and decide to not give you a share, then you still don't lose, because you set your mind on the beginning to focus on giving back to the community, whether the product comes from you, or at a cheaper cost without you benefiting, still the community wins, but in this age where a relationship with the community is important, a company can lose more if they don't bring you in, as it'd be bad optics for them. So once again, you can do it all and everyone wins. Best of luck, this is a dope product.
Don't know if you get there yet, but having the single wheel be the one making contact well dragging behind and the 2 additional wheels for support leaning back. A single wheel caster or not allows you to turn easily (like the one wheel its self)
I can't believe I didn't subscribe before this video, but your speech at the end made me check if I was or not. I love the content you make and while I would make different creative decisions, the end result always has something to learn from. As someone who is wanting to get into 3D printing and will be making a substantial investment to get into it, the way you show the process is incredibly enlightening. You have fostered my creative spirit. I wanna make things now thanks to what you've shared with us. The result of all your projects are always epic even if it doesn't turn out the way you imagined, and that's okay, because it's perfect for someone out there.
you very clearly made the correct decision. money sucks, going down that route would have taken something out of you and you provid emore value this way.
Huh, I look at this 3d printed trolley and the first thing that comes to mind for solving this is designing a metal bracket that you can mount a skateboard truck to it, since I have some sitting around. You can get a low tier set of 2 trucks and 4 wheels for $20. Then all you need is $5 worth of 3"x2" 3/16" angle steel, drill two holes on the bottom for mounting to the board and 4 holes for mounting the truck. Weld a nut at an angle to put a nylon bolt as the standing leg so it doesn't scratch the floor in stores or a Steel bolt with a plastic slider glued to the head. That basically gets you to your version 11. I could make it with just the stuff sitting around my garage. Definitely feels like a surroundings determining your ideas for something situation.
Man, if only half the world was as considerate and wise as you I'm sure we'd be living in a much better place. I love how you choose to not let 'corporate greed' (for lack of a better name) get to you and just keep it real. I'm sure in the long run you (and eventually we all) will benefit from making decisions like these.

1. Your hand is in a more comfortable angle.
2. The applyed thrust forward does not want to tip the board, even if you would start to run or step back in an instant ('Oh, I forgot something back there')
3. You would not have to extend your arm forward like now but keep it at a convenient location beside your body.
4. The steering would be a lot easier, intuitive.
Just a suggestion.
Sorry for the typos, not a native English speaker/writer.
6:56 cmooooooon use version numbers, the first video was about prototype version 1, so 1.13, now is 2 so 2.0
i actually really love what you decided to do with this idea. this might sound crazy, but i have a belief that says that the MORE we all share our ideas for free, the more that we all will benefit. which is a little counterintuitive since we've all been taught to "turn it into a business". you WILL be successful in the way that you want to be. i can feel that it's coming for you and am so excited. this was such an enjoyable process to watch you have a problem, develop a solution, then to go on this journey that, for now, culminated in you finding a satisfying solution that also helps other people. love love love it. give us more! 😁💖
man on the part of concentrating on making good youtube vids you are already on the right track! your vids are awesome! keep the good work!
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and never realized that I wasn't subscribed. That changes now. Love your vibe, my guy. Can't wait to see you reach 20 million subscribers. You definitely deserve it!
I think the best decision would be to have these made out of aluminum. It would cost money to set up, but they could be anodized in colors, stronger, more durable, and would survive drops or crashes. It would also look much more luxurious.
**cough** PCBWay sponsor plug needed here...lol
there is 3d print aluminum services online . so someone definitely could do that if they have the money
Your videos are incredible man, happy I found your channel recently. Keep creating, keep striving, and keep doing what makes you happy. Doing what you love everyday and getting paid to do it is the real dream and you’re living it man!
Upgrade it with two brushless motors, encoder , battery and a cam . you have the first onewheel with the follow me add , like a smart trolley. You have a lot of space inside your 3d model
Way to go! Loved how you wrapped up the video. By sticking with what is working for you. Also your personally is perfect for making RUclips videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
W Morley upload ! Love how you picked back up on this project, it’s so awesome to see you go through the ups and downs of these dilemmas and find your standing ground at the end. W thought process. W vid man!
MAD respect to you Morley for your take on staring a buisness. Keep following the dream, the rest will eventually fall into place
From watching your videos (and I might be wrong) you appear to have missed out an important step.
Market research.
You have solved a problem that *you* have. Before you launch a product you need to know if other people want or need it.
I think you've made the right move. Grow your channel, it's coming on really well. Then think about products.
For whatever reason you've hit the RUclips algo. You're a winner. Everything you said at the end of the video was spot on.
The patent law that I've read states that :
A) The idea must be novel, new, a true invention.
B) The idea must not have been published.
oh dear.
You made the right decision. I've been watching you since you were tiny just started... I knew you were going to grow fast and you have! Keep going, you are just getting to the best part right around the corner~!~
You have become a master at story telling & editing… so damn entertaining and I don’t even have a one wheel or would ever ride one 😂
That's the best to hear! Thank you :)
Wish I had found you 2 years ago when we started building a Skoolie to live in full time, the woodwork def would’ve been much better quality, but so glad to be here now :)
Dude i need to say, i think you made the right choice! Your channel already has half a million subscribers. Keep up the good work
I like the maker space idea. I think a lot of stores have a place where you can keep items you don't want to carry into the store. Personally I wouldn't drag around a one wheel in one hand and also move a trolley or carry a shopping basket in the other hand. The idea makes sense in all other scenarios like if you're passing through areas where you're not allowed to operate it or maybe when the battery dies off. Otherwise you have great problem solving skills 👍.
Casters are the bane of my existence! You wouldn't believe how important the lever arm is. Anyways, you know a roller ball is a thing?
❤hey love this video!! Great content and such a pleasure to meet you! I am a fan!!
0:35 why does english backwards sound like german?????
Because thats german
@@goncalo.ferreiralol
Idk
English and German were ones one language
But German backwards sounds even MORE German.😮
Honestly, you seem really stoked about your YT channel and it seems to be making money for you as well. You strike me as the kind of person who gets excited by new ideas and loves finding new projects, so getting stuck into one area or product might not be your jam. The other thing is that you are a fantastic story teller. I have very little interest in the niche one wheel market and I’m not even that connected to 3D printing or making stuff. But I have been watching your videos from beginning to end because your process is so interesting, your online presence is fun and you make well edited videos. If you can continue to make a living, why not follow your heart for a while. And I’ll keep watching your content.
12:25 FYII you can put threads on models at least in Fusion 360, and all my uses of threads have always worked wonderfully. You'd just need to figure out which threads you'd need to use, then yu wouldn't need to blast it with a torch, which some people might not have. Without the print having tthreads, twisting the bolt into the print would alson work better then pushing, as pushing.... pushes some of the material out of the way.
I wont ever own one of these products but i thought this video was really interesting. It's cool to see your process. I wish you luck with everything.
sorry morley, but this wasnt a million dollar idea in the first place. havnt seen a single onewheel in real life....
College campus, everyone has them
Lmao just a backyard tinkerer thinking he's a genius 🤷🏻🤣 bruh needed 11 iterations to make the most basic possible solution.
Being an engineer and pursuing PhD in mechanical design, I think he'd have been more productive if he just fkn talked to a professional at this field and save thousands of hours.
Big LOL if you know mechanical engg.
I'll never get tired of your videos. The way you think and react to failures is a big inspiration for me. Thank you
A better solution to your problem is to create a hidden bucket in to store your penny so you can just put it inside the cart
In fact only supermarkets have carts. When you go to a non-food shop, they probably don't have carts. There it would be handy to have the stand.
I just got into 3D printing and your channel has been both entertaining and inspirational, really glad you decided to stick with RUclips instead of trying to sell a niche product 👍
Without even viewing this video I want to say that ideas are a dime a dozen. It takes dedication, hard work, money and time to make them into a million dollar product.
I dont even own a OneWheel but your videos bring me joy. Your positive energy and lovely narration is going to take you far ahead in this journey of yours! Good luck brother ❤
Just file for the patent yourself. It's like $300 or $600. Do NOT get a lawyer, much less on retainer.
Tollomer from Z-Polymers...US based company.... can be used on family printers...approx half weight Aluminium and stronger than carbon stranded filaments....
Build a Stainless Steal plate for the Wheels that way it won't break.
I agree! Sometimes you get stuck in a 3d printed solution. A milled aluminum solution might be a better solution than plastic.
@@jgoo4572 Aluminum gets Corrosion after a while , But Stainless steal doesn't rust or get corrosion 👍
@@newfie66xbox76 I was thinking light weight with a coating treatment, perhaps anodized. I don’t think corrosion would be a concern.
You got my sub with this video...lmao. I'm in a wheelchair, and have never ridden a one-wheel. It was your energy and passion about what you do.
Props for giving away the idea. In a better world this is how all inventions would be released.
If you want to balance it without massive trial and error, you need to find the centre of mass (CoM). The simplest way to to this is to balance it, which you can probably do to find its front-to-back position. Side-to-side doesn't matter for the balance you want, but it's the top-to-bottom position that needs work.
The way to do this is to hang it from one end with a thin rope, then hang a plumb line (just a string with a weight on one end) beside it. Line up a camera so both strings/ropes are lined up, and the plumb line in the image will pass directly in front of the CoM.
Also you could just stand it up on its end and feel when it's balanced, then take a photo from the side with a plumb line in the shot. Or you could just guess the CoM is in the middle of the wheel, which seems reasonable actually since the bulk of the board is centred around that wheel.
If you know where the front-to-back CoM is, you can intersect those lines for the actual CoM, then import that position into your 3D modelling program and just line up the design so it'll work first time.
The commitment to this project though😤💥
Someone get this man an LTT screwdriver. Watching him use that allen key set is painful lol
1:18 "After three minutes you just feel like an absolute clown." Its well known that an adult walking around in a skater boi helmet wearing a child-sized backpack and carrying an electric unicycle looks cool for three minutes, but that FOURTH minute... hoo boy.
Great video and great idea man! I also believe you are at the right path, you'll hit some clever product idea soon!
Btw, I recognize that Safeway at Commercial Broadway station.
Cheers from West end ;)
lets be real. we all came here because it looked like a cheese in the beginning picture
You should add a slot to keep the original screws inside the body of the stand, maybe even a mini screwdriver holder inside? Just use one of the holes i think
Love your videos man. My skills extend as far as Tinkercad...for now. Even a small mastery of Tinkercad has come in immensely useful over the last year or so, and I plan on learning a 'big boy' CAD program. Keep doing what you're doing, I always look forward to an upload.
freecad 1.0 just launched a short time ago. might wanna give it a shot. there are some great advantages of foss compared to fusion 360, even though freecad is a bit harder to learn.
In this video? I thought it would be in another video, thanks for letting me know.
i mean... it's a cool idea.
but honestly, i would never use it. even if im just riding to the store for a couple groceries, i'll be riding aggressively, and jumping off curbs and stairs... i couldn't see myself putting this on before going out. plus, it just looks super goofy... lol. i just throw my wheel in the cart that i would already be using anyway, or just go to the customer service desk and tell them "hey im going to leave this behind the counter so i don't have to carry it, i'll bew back in 5 minutes" "ok no problem! :)"
i have never really seen this as an issue, personally. it is a very creative idea though, and it made for some good videos!
For me you can do 2 things: 1- Value to use metal or more resistant material for your tool and second try something like kickstarter or similar for try to start and see if can works. For me can value wait more for doin great steps later. Great video as always man, a big hug from Italy.
When is the shark tank episode? 👀
Ya no kidding 😅
That patent lawyer was like, "check your mouth it's got orange juice in it"
Solution: Just 3D print a fake coin you can attact and detach from a keyring
It's literally not that hard????
screw tires or multidirectional tires seem like it could have been a good upgrade for the wheels instead of dealing with the caster pivoting. There are also 3d printed designs for such tires using standard bearings and materials.
Using a one-wheels is just stupid and dangerous.
It reminds me of the chairs from WALL-E, where people became overweight because they were always using those chairs and never moved their legs.
Way more refined design then the last one. I might print it on my ender 3 v2 real soon for my gt🙏
Put me to the top so no sussy bots are there

I like the point you made at the end about the ability this provides for other technically minded people to refine the design. If more inventors thought this way, we would see some truly amazing things.
This was more interesting than I thought it would be... glad I clicked.
I jut wanna say you're one of the realest guys on youtube and I love your videos. Keep up the great content!
Excellent video, lots of learning to be gleaned.
Also, I enjoy the (kind of) easter egg of the "wizard staff" in the background of your sound booth.
Hey love the video. I think you could just use an omniwheel for the third stabilizing wheel so you can turn
I think you can do it all and come on top. Open source it + no patents, and use 3D printing farm to sell it to those who don't have the time, expertise, or 3D printer. If OneWheel, or another company copies your product and decide to not give you a share, then you still don't lose, because you set your mind on the beginning to focus on giving back to the community, whether the product comes from you, or at a cheaper cost without you benefiting, still the community wins, but in this age where a relationship with the community is important, a company can lose more if they don't bring you in, as it'd be bad optics for them. So once again, you can do it all and everyone wins. Best of luck, this is a dope product.
Don't know if you get there yet, but having the single wheel be the one making contact well dragging behind and the 2 additional wheels for support leaning back.
A single wheel caster or not allows you to turn easily (like the one wheel its self)
I can't believe I didn't subscribe before this video, but your speech at the end made me check if I was or not. I love the content you make and while I would make different creative decisions, the end result always has something to learn from. As someone who is wanting to get into 3D printing and will be making a substantial investment to get into it, the way you show the process is incredibly enlightening. You have fostered my creative spirit. I wanna make things now thanks to what you've shared with us. The result of all your projects are always epic even if it doesn't turn out the way you imagined, and that's okay, because it's perfect for someone out there.
you very clearly made the correct decision. money sucks, going down that route would have taken something out of you and you provid emore value this way.
Nice work, and enjoyed the process.
Huh, I look at this 3d printed trolley and the first thing that comes to mind for solving this is designing a metal bracket that you can mount a skateboard truck to it, since I have some sitting around. You can get a low tier set of 2 trucks and 4 wheels for $20. Then all you need is $5 worth of 3"x2" 3/16" angle steel, drill two holes on the bottom for mounting to the board and 4 holes for mounting the truck. Weld a nut at an angle to put a nylon bolt as the standing leg so it doesn't scratch the floor in stores or a Steel bolt with a plastic slider glued to the head. That basically gets you to your version 11. I could make it with just the stuff sitting around my garage. Definitely feels like a surroundings determining your ideas for something situation.
Well I must say you did a really good job at making something so niche like that seem so extravagant and important.
Man, if only half the world was as considerate and wise as you I'm sure we'd be living in a much better place. I love how you choose to not let 'corporate greed' (for lack of a better name) get to you and just keep it real. I'm sure in the long run you (and eventually we all) will benefit from making decisions like these.
Your focus is showing. Your videos are amazing! keep it up, man.
1:32 dude, someone made a great invention called the basket
If anything the weight distribution would be worse
I love your videos and the transparency with your honesty man it's a truly amazing and I'm taking back by because no one else really does it thank you for your content
