For the first time ever this summer, Lee Canyon is offering a tour that takes place entirely on a self-balancing electric skateboard that boasts just one wheel in the middle.

Onewheel tours will take place four times a day for $45 during the summer season, which runs through Sept. 4.

The Onewheel, created by the Santa Cruz-based company Future Motion, started as an idea on the crowd-funding website Kickstarter in January 2014.

Las Vegas Review-Journal reporters Ben Gotz and Gabriella Benavidez tested out the Onewheel for themselves.

Check out the video above.
