Regular skateboard much more fun, speed maneuverability for fraction of price.

Well, it's a HELL of a lot less geeky than a Segway! I like it. Not for $700 though.

Yeah, you can get a really nice skateboard with big soft wheels and just push around for $100.

Get off my lawn!

Not sure where you guys are seeing $700, because on the Kickstarter page***8230; it's $1,200-1,800.

I'd buy both of my kids one of these to share, seems like a good way to get around the walmart.
