Just yesterday I seen someone on one of these hit a lip along the pavement and fell off, broke their phone and hurt their wrist enough to cry. I laughed out loud then realised I just done that out loud and instantly got death stares.

>>52438213
Is an example of how fucking unsafe these thungs can be, and the shit tier quality batteries from the chinkshit versions people are getting don't improve that matter much.

Most of them are just rushed to market Chinese crap. We need big name likes Sony, Phillips etc to produce models that have gone through the correct channels of testing and approval.

They have the same purpose as longboards and electric scooters: transportation. and they have the benefit that they can be brought into stores. (although I dont recommend riding inside all stores..) Theyre really fun, but I admit they are a bit dangerous when riding with speed. Im certain theres going to be new legislature that restricts them with they get too popular
