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.
Which manufacturers do this?
OneWheel is the manufacturer.
What's weird is I have replaced the batteries in both of mine. It's actually easier than spreading FUD.

Which is why I VESC'd mine.
