The Trotter Magwheel T3, an alternative to the Onewheel, presents an enticing option in the single-wheeled electric skateboard market. While it comes at a lower cost, it faces stiff competition from the established Onewheel. The Magwheel offers features like affordability, audible alerts, a treaded tire, readily available parts, and reasonably priced accessories, catering to those who enjoy tinkering and modifying their devices.
