Looks interesting, but despite of pitch claims it doesn't actually look comfortable to ride.
Judging by how stiff the guy is when riding it, this thing doesn't appear to be entirely self-balancing. He also seems to be leaning on the control rod on more than one occassion, so it's not just a joystick assembly, but a mechanical driving help too.

- goldenkey 10y agoThat's always the issue with electric skateboards and they have had to go through some deep design decisions (namely: Boosted.) Boosted really did great, their board is amazing. This guy on the other hand, hasn't really put the same effort into it -- how can you when you are just 1 person? It's a cool broomstick but the safety isn't there (exposed gears instead of brushless belt motors are a really bad idea.)
