+== Isinwheel V8 Electric Skateboard Review: Extend Your Range With a Battery Swap ==
+Compact and lightweight, is the Isinwheel V8 a good alternative for commuting? Probably not, but it's a fun and beginner-friendly option nonetheless.
+James Hirtz - 7 August 2023
+The Isinwheel V8 electric skateboard offers an exciting way to increase your skating distance with a swappable battery system. Plus, with improvements to motor power and off-road wheels, you can even tackle previously inaccessible riding environments.
+But is an electric skateboard as a worthy alternative to escooters or ebikes?

+== Stop Using Onewheel Self-Balancing Skateboards, CPSC Warns After Reports of Four Deaths and Multiple Injuries ==
+Despite the CPSC's concerns, Future Motion has refused to agree to a full recall of its products.
+Andrew Liszewski - 16 November 2022
+After eight years of being available to thrillseekers and those who feel just a single wheel satisfies their transportation needs, Future Motion’s Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboards are facing calls for a full recall from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. This comes after four reported deaths over the past three years, and several serious injuries.
+The Onewheel debuted in 2014 after a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign and provided a faster and safer alternative to the popular two-wheeled hoverboards at the time, at least when it came to rechargeable batteries that didn’t spontaneously catch fire. With price tags that currently range in price from $1,050 to over $2,000, Future Motion, the company behind the Onewheel, didn’t cheap out on batteries, but concerns have been raised about the electric skateboard’s self-balancing technology: a critical component given the devices roll around on just a single wheel, with some models hitting a top speed of 19 miles per hour.

+== Every single Onewheel is being recalled after four deaths ==
+The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Future Motion are recalling 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing skateboards over four reported crashes where riders died. The company challenged previous warnings.
+Umar Shakir - Sep 29, 2023, 1:29 PM PDT
+Future Motion, the maker of the Onewheel electric skateboard, is recalling every one of them, including 300,000 Onewheel self-balancing vehicles in the US. Alongside the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the company now seeks to remedy the products after four known death cases — three without a helmet — between 2019 and 2021.
+The recall comes a year after Future Motion took issue with the CPSC’s calls for recall and claimed that it tested and found nothing wrong with the Onewheels. At the time, the company issued a press release in objection to the CPSC and called the agency’s statements “unjustified and alarmist.”
+Now Future Motion is moving forward with a voluntary recall it chose not to do almost a year earlier. The company is asking owners to stop using their Onewheels until they take appropriate action. For the newer Onewheel GT, Onewheel Pint X, Onewheel Pint, and Onewheel Plus XR, a software update with a new warning system is the remedy.

+== Onewheel E-Skateboards Face Global Recall Following Four Deaths and Multiple Injuries ==
+Onewheel denied its e-skateboard models were unsafe nearly a year before it issued a worldwide recall.
+Nikki Main - 3 October 2023
+All Onewheel self-balancing electric skateboard models are being recalled following reports of at least four deaths and multiple injuries between 2019 and 2021. The recall was issued on Friday and includes 300,000 of the skateboards sold worldwide and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using the skateboard immediately.
+The CPSC warned in the recall notice: “The skateboards can stop balancing the rider if the boards’ limits are exceeded, posing a crash hazard that can result in serious injury or death.” It noted that the e-skateboard deaths were caused by head trauma, and in three of the four cases, the rider was not wearing a helmet. Those who were injured while riding the e-skateboard suffered a “traumatic brain injury, concussion, paralysis, upper-body fractures, lower-body fractures, and ligament damage,” the CPSC reported.
