I've been daydreaming of stacking a 5 pack of em in the boot for family use exploring places during weekends away. Kids would have an absolute ball ripping around on one of those.
- dharmab 3y agoHoverboards or electric unicycles might fit the bill, depending on how well your kids can balance. I have a $300 folding scooter that fits in my Honda's trunk and has more capability than the Motocompacto- the value proposition of a slightly smaller package is not amazing.
- gtvwill 3y agoYeah nah two wheels > 1. My kids are accident prone af so I'll give em any help they can get to mitigate that lol. But also the Honda appeals because it's a big brand. With that comes a lot of users and hopefully lots of mods. There is lots of space in that middle bit that holds the battery and charger. Without a doubt I'd be able to sneak a larger battery in. Not to mention parts will probably be available from the multiple local Honda dealers making repairs easy af in just about any region. Lots of value that isn't just in the spec sheet. Fingers crossed they release it here (aus). I want to switch as much of my family's transport to electric or public transport as soon as i can afford it. Fuel prices are making ice vehicles unusable.

- numpad0 3y agoOften-explosive miniature Segway clones in 2-wheel parallel and unicycle configs are somehow called hoverboards circa 2017. Don't like the idea of materializing it that way but created cheap supply for robotics research platform it seems.

- m463 3y agoDon't e-scooters fit that bill? slightly different form factor - more umbrella than briefcase - but cost much less than $5k.
