DIY electric personal vehicles are a field where even hobbyists can meaningfully innovate, and that’s demonstrated by the Mega-Wheelie, a self-balancing one-wheeled skateboard constructed as …
The aspect ratio of that tire is quite substantial. I understand that’s desirable for off-road automobiles, but does the same apply here? A lot of volume inside the wheel could potentially be repurposed and filled with something that could reduce the board’s moment of intertia. I presume that’s a useful parameter for a self balancing craft, but idk.

Never ridden a one wheel though, and don’t really plan on it, so my intuition could completely be off
