Like an increasing number of devices, the world's first self-balancing electric skateboard is connected to the Internet. Called OneWheel, the motorized device features a bulky wheel in the middle that riders straddle.

"OneWheel has a Bluetooth 4 on board, and it talks to a smartphone app," says Kyle Doerksen, CEO of Future Motion, which makes the device.
