          Sure it can fit in a luggage, but good luck getting any airline to let you fly with those batteries

            @S-Leon that was well spotted!

            Surely a new challenge for authorities to redefine "street legal" in PEV's. :}

            Out of all curiosity - I hope you all noticed it's sideways movement thing like OW/snow-/skate-/surf-/any-board - I am trying to figure out physical aspects on that matter. Dangerous indeed, not gonna be a widespread convenient consumer item.

              @sirgu I was thinking about that when I was looking to buy a OW

              My college treats PEVs the same as bikes since a lot of people have a lot of electric scooters and skateboards. On Campud Police, staff and even teachers seem fine with my OW whenever I entered class with it.

                Well, this >Lexus Slide< is an interesting concept! Gotta keep an eye on that where this is heading.

                    Hacksmith Industries already made a hoverboard like this, but they ran into some wacky issues

                                        @sirgu I would buy/fund it but Kickstarter has a big problem with scams and such, so there isn't any real way I can confidently fund it.

                                        However, if it turns out to be a real product later on, I may buy one :) Really neat!

                                          This one looks weird, but also looks pretty fun. I think if I couldn't ride a onewheel, this is what I would get. It isn't going to go on any hard-core single track, but it looks like lots of fun for paved and reasonably well groomed trails.
