The world’s only high-speed cooler

Electric skateboard maker Onewheel and durable container brand Yeti have combined forces to create a cooler that you can ride anywhere. Well, maybe not anywhere. And you might fall. And there’s only one, because it’s a joke. But it works, and be honest — you already want one, right? The TC Top Picks program showcases…

If you drink while you ride do you get charged with drunk driving?

Looks like it will hold 4 ice cubes and two drinks. Why spend that much for something like this?

legit though, I can imagine this making real money: college, tailgating, golf, the beach. Put a speaker on it and you have the ultimate mobile party

I’d be a little worried about opening a beer can after 10 min ride in this cooler. Bottles seems not even an option. In my opinion, closing battery & electric engine in temp insulated container may cause a real problem to cooling effiency. Considering the price, which probably’s insanly high, I’d rather buy an electric bike and camping fridge :). Yeah, I’m old :D.
