They're just toys. Probably pretty fun here and there. The amount of attention their getting is absurd. I see wall-e becoming true by removing the overall need to move all together.

Hoverboard is one of the many brand names that those things are sold under. From my understanding, a bunch of factories create that shit, so there is no one source, and many resellers give them there own name.

It's the most common name. It's stupid, but it seems to be what we've decided on as a society.

It's better than "swagway" i guess.

Just watch, new slick packaging will make it socially acceptable, and within 5 years after that point all popular big booty girls will go to the club in hover chairs, weighing 200lbs plus shifting back and forth to the music in the club.

In order to get with one though you still need to be over 6ft and be fit.

they might make cheap camera dollys/sliders

Not exactly segways but more swag.

Pro tip:

Never buy the one in that pic.
Look at the wheels. That exact same model gets sold under many names but its all the same and its a fire hazard.

Maybe you haven't seen the videos of them engulfed in flames...

Decent use here

But what about shit like workplace hazard with people falling off and battery life?
>>
First time I saw one of these was at an exotic car dealership in Toronto. A couple of new money teenagers from China literally rolled in and bought the Lamborghini that was parked outside
>>
>>52237368
close
a single factory makes all of them (or at least did) and then sold them wholesale for like $150. then a bunch of chinese companies bought them and slapped their branding on it. the battery issues are from the absolute cheapest ones having shitty batteries

Why note call it a SkateWay?
It looks like a skateboard and acts like a Segway.
>>
Why do people use these things?
They don't exactly go fast.
They don't look cool.
You need to worry about it being stolen if left unattended.
If you're in a place that doesn't allow that kind of shit you have to carry it, and shit doesn't look light.
Is walking really that hard?
