ive seen those before.. had something on TV bout them and I saw like 50 ppl riding around a park on them lol looked so gay but probably will be an everyday thing come 20-50 yrs from now :/

any idea on the price?

chodadog · 04-21-2002, 12:28 AM

They cost more than a few grand.. amazing things really..

vidsweb · 04-21-2002, 01:16 AM

I think they look like a bit of fun, but since they cost like $4,000 or more, I don't think we'll be seeing too many people riding them.

is there any video of someone riding one?
i can't figure out how you would balance yourself from front to back?

chodadog · 04-21-2002, 01:57 AM

It has some sensor thingy in it that balances things for you. .you just lean forward to make it go.. they're goddamn amazing.. plus.. they can go over some really rough terrain too! i was very impressed when i saw it featured on the news one time..

i wonder if it will work on the beach?

How fast can it go?

RedShoe · 04-21-2002, 03:47 AM

Seems like those things came out a year ago.

Get with the program!

Geez, can the human race get any lazier ??? I think that I'm outta shape because I sit on my computer all day. I can imagune what I'd be like if when I did stand up, I could just jump on one of those things and eliminate all walking from my life.

Perhaps, they should market that thing with those couch potato muscle building pills, ha ha ha.

http://www.zapworld.com/ - a "hover board" (not what you're thinking) - these guys do some cool shit.. sea scooters.. bike kits..

http://www.zapworld.com/turbo.htm - cheaper than the segway and way faster.. but without the balance..

http://www.xootr.com/xootr/default.asp - NiMH batteries - half the weight of the zappy just as fast.. can be used as a kick scooter unpowered..

electric scooters are fucking fun.. i mean.. it's a wanker's toy.. but everyone wants a go of it.. used to use one for getting to work in the city.. very fun.. it's like surfing on pavement....

deluxe · 04-21-2002, 08:56 AM

All I want is a hooverboard like in back to the future 2! Is that to much to ask?

Wilber · 04-21-2002, 09:32 AM

It'd be too embarrassing to be seen riding around on a scooter.

This is got two wheels and it goes faster...

Niles from Fraser rode one. He really liked it.
