My competitors say the tiny single tiny caster is unsafe, unstable, and offers no advantages over traditional designs, to which I say: wow, why are you guys so mean? I thought we were friends!

There’s also a huge 0-wheels market. Just think how cool wheel-free skates and boards are.
Idk, you’d have to be a wizard to make that look cool. Like Gandalf the Grey or Shaun the White.
Mattel cornered that market in 2015, but for some reason that timeline got erased.
^(I guess that timeline glitch happened due to Harambe?)^
if you ignore the scales, this could be a bizarre Mad Max chase scene
The number one thing I love about Randall Munroe’s particular brand of nerd humor is how genuine he is. His fascination with the natural laws of the universe is just that. It’s not something he uses to hold himself over other people or to create in-groups and out-groups of people who know and people who don’t. Even when his content is too complex for the average person it never has that subtextual “well you just wouldn’t get it because you’re not smart enough” vibe that so much other nerd humor has (looking at you big bang theory). He’s genuinely inviting the reader to learn about whatever it is, whether they ultimately do or don’t. He doesn’t have that weird inferiority complex people get sometimes where people feel the need to defensively push others away from their interests to feel better about the fact that their interests happen to be niche in some way. He doesn’t use it as a vehicle to fuel his ego. I’ve joked before that he’s my “celebrity crush” but it’s really just that he truly, genuinely wants to show you something he thinks is cool (and at least a little humorous) and as someone who’s met a LOT of snobby nerds, I’ve always deeply respected that he isn’t one. - sincerely, a professional vibe-checker (like, actually).
Mono wheel, mono wheel, MONO WHEEL!
Isnt this already a thing tho?
Ah nvm was thinking of these but those are big wheels…
It’s also already in the comic
Oh nice, blind me
Three wheel skates should rebrand as something cooler, like in-line skates, or even better “roller blades”.
Roller blades had four wheels though.
I vote for Threelies.
Where would a penny-farthing go?
The z axis
That’s 2 wheel
With different diameters so where would it be on the Y axis?
In the middle
Also a gap in the high-wheel count, mid-sized market!
I think warehouses have things that would probably count, but we need consumer-facing options!
I’ve seen inline skates ranging from 1 wheel per skate to 5.
On this chart they should all be in…line.
