I don't know why the CPSC has singled out Onewheel. If they're going to try and regulate this new class of mobility they need to do better than phoning it in. This feels just as random and absurd as the clampdowns on Juul. Don't buy Juul, but do feel free to buy flavored nicotine from these thousands of other less scrupulous vendors.

There are absurdly under braked e-bikes with 30+ mph motors, electric scooters with 40+ mph motors, "unicycles" with 40+ mph motors, and even competing "onewheel" type products. Based on the arguments provided in the linked article these are all worthy of regulation. I disagree with the premise, but if they're going to regulate one they should regulate all.
