Concept video:

Yesterday in NYC


I believe Mr Garrison created something like this called "It" back in November of 2001.

Those things are loud as fuck :eek:

Until they quiet them up a bit I don't see it taking off too quickly. I wonder what the battery life is like on them?

kinda cool, but definitely needs to be quieter.

I was invited to test drive one on behalf of HAN but couldn't make it. Wish I had gone!

I bet the first crack or bump you hit you'll fall on your face. I also noticed it doesn't have any back support so I bet your back might hurt after long use. Everyone is trying to make personal transportation devices that are just going to add to our lack of exercise. We have cars, bikes, and skates we don't have a need for something like this. Interesting concept though I like how they were able to make it move in every direction.

- Cool technology but I'm not a big fan of replacing walking / running.
- Can't wait to watch people bust their asses on these things.
