Hoverboards and electric scooters come with their own set of advantages and irks that influence the buying decision. While hoverboard is the preferred choice for short jaunts, e-scooters with an average range of 10-40 miles are well suited for extended trips in the city.

This thing looks like it would throw the rider after the first pothole and you can't really jump/ollie it either. Maintenance also looks ludicrously expensive.

This is the stupidest thing I've seen in a while. I have so many questions after reading that very uninformative "article" that has no actual details. Like how do you turn it to start, the author speculates that it would respond to pressure in different places through the feet, but then it looks like it is on fixed wheels. If the centre of those wheels facilitates turning with what looks like tiny cylinders not only if it going to feel weird but actual use in real world is going to be nigh on impossible, any tiny stones in there are gonna fuck your shit up.

As someone else said it looks like it'll throw you given any opportunity.

"That said, the personal commuter is also going to appeal to people who love skateboards, and always wanted a battery-powered alternative!" It literally won't. Anyone who can skateboard and sees this piece of shit will have a good laugh to themselves as they remember getting thrown off their board whilst they were learning by an innocuous tiny stone, then happily get back on their skateboards which are going to be infinitely more fun to ride.

Honestly it makes me sad that so much money is wasted in this world on trash like this that could be used to improve and further tried and tested things like in this case skateboards or scooters.

There's eboards, electric unicycles, folding bikes, and all sorts of other, more practical designs. Yanko Design always posts crazy, impractical, but imaginative things like this. I'd never buy one (or recommend one) but it's fun to share.

Modi aims to get over these problems with a compact and lightweight design that can be easily carried or stored in your backpack when not in use.

And the device will run for 3km before it demand to be carried.
