Ride The Rails On A OneWheel

A maker modified a OneWheel self-balancing board to ride abandoned rail lines by sectioning the stock frame, adding CNC-cut mounts to raise the motor, attaching eBay-sourced steel rail wheels to a center axle, and chain-driving it via a bike sprocket. The build is a hardware hacking project rather than a commercial product, with links to a related Supercon talk on personal electric vehicles and other rail-riding builds. A note warns that riding on seemingly abandoned rail can still count as trespassing without permission.
