        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

                            A new Kickstarter campaign started a few days back

                            It's not a rideable .. it is ... well, read it, if you will.

                                      @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.

                                          Something to do with plastics and I assume the battery/controller boxes themselves

                                            @loaffette they apparently went and talked over about thr manufacturing of the bumpers, battery and controller boxes, as well as showing the parts being made

                                            also funny car flex at thr end, but really they talked about plastic defects in the car and some stuff
