Should I ride a OneWheel/Electric skateboard to work?

I will be a SA in IB next summer and was wondering if riding an electric skateboard/onewheel to work could hurt my prospects of a return offer. My commute is a solid 30 mins via public transport, but could be cut down to 10 mins. Does anyone know of anyone who regularly rides an electric vehicle to work?

Thanks

Are you in NYC? These (+ those electric scooters) are exceptionally dangerous in traffic, I have a friend who is an emergency department nurse and she said both the sheer number and severity of injuries from these are insane.

Won't hurt your return offer but just something to consider

FWIW in NY tons of people take citi bikes to work every day. The memberships are cheap and there's stations all over, might be an idea if you don't want to deal with carrying/charging/locking your own transport
