I'd be super worried riding this in anything other than a smooth indoor environment, as it looks like the smallest chunk of gravel could send you flying.
But I think the non-self-balancing but still weight-sensing control scheme has a lot of promise (I've built a few of theses myself: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=49557&sid=3adbdea146edf1d0011cd3b05eb0427b https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=49557...). I've found segway-style vehicles really twitchy to ride (since they'll literally tip over if they don't react quickly and forcefully enough), whereas basic weight sensing control is super intuitive (much more so than, say, the hand control on the Boosted boards).
