Well, they run on lithium-ion batteries. It happens. And it's so rare it's below what you'd expect.
>>
Wow the anal pain in this thread is unbelievable. I wouldn't buy one but I don't wish a horrible death upon people who do get a random toy to muck around with.

Yeah they use lithium batteries, like 99% of all devices out there with a rechargeable battery. Lithium batteries can be prone to overheating and catching fire, but that's very rare.

Yeah they kinda look silly, but so do segways, scooters, twist skateboards, lots of shit. Only faggots care about what other people think about shit like this.

It's a toy, to ride for a bit of a laugh. No one is forcing you to buy one, they're not going to supplant bikes and cars.

What a waste of money. After a few weeks it'll sit in the garage and never be used. Then the battery in it will gobble itself and it won't be useable anymore.

I'd rather buy the razor electric scooter for the same price. It can go 15 miles which is perfect for when I get too drunk to drive home so I take a cab and I'd charge that baby up so the next day I would ride it to get my car far away.

That is the future. Not lame boards you ride that are made in China.

That bag holds the ECU and excess wiring, it came with the kit.

Range all depends on how much you want to pedal and your weight. I sometimes have it set so the motor cuts out at 15mph, so the motor is used for accelerating quickly from stops or climbing hills and then I can easily maintain speed above that on flat ground (so the range will be very long, just depends on how many stops or hills I run into). If I was using just the motor then I could probably run it down under 10 miles flat out (just a guess, I don't take much notice of what range I actually get).

I got one recently for $360 and it's awesome. Most go 8-10 mph and the one I got can go 10 mi. on a single charge (w/ 2000 mAh battery) - which is very efficient. it makes going to stores in a 1 mi radius take only minutes to get to. I dont even have to step off the board usually. This technology has really practical applications and I think it was totally worth the money.
