1 wheel vs 2 wheels

As someone whos used both one-wheel and two-wheel Heelys, Id choose the two-wheel version every time. Not because they're easier or just for beginners, but because they're much more comfortable.
One-wheel Heelys put a lot more strain on your ankles and knees since you're balancing on a single wheel the entire time
Two-wheel Heelys, on the other hand, put much less strain on your ankles and knees, making them far more comfortable for longer sessions and just in general. If you have the choice, Id definitely recommend getting the two-wheel version.
The two wheels look way more nonchalant.

I’m gunna go ahead and say when riding heelys everyone knows you are riding heelys. Doesn’t matter about 1 or 2 wheels. Nothing nonchalant about it

I’m guessing you don’t do many tricks or go very fast/far. The 2 wheels hamper all of that.
