I kinda want one. Seems perfect for carrying in the airplane, certainly much more compact than a folding bike.

Meme board for horrendously ugly youtube vloggers

It has been shilled A LOT by shitty youtubers which make think it's probably overpriced and has a lot of glaring issues.

>overpriced
Maybe.
>has a lot of glaring issues.
A friend of mine has one and gave me the rundown; it has a few issues but I wouldn't call them "glaring."

you know if you could only make them stop.

after riding on shimano saint hydraulic disks for a decade i refuse to blade or skate anymore because they just cant stop.

The Boosted Board has regenerative motor braking and reverse.

it feels like a hoverboard in that it just looks a little like some passing hype or fad

I feel we are few magnitudes of engineering apart. Then again my standards would probably throw you off your board. Why must modern bikes literally be perfect.

Just give me an affordable Motor gearbox bottom bracket module. Mountain bike retailers make the bike - I bring my own mosfets, scr and PWM code and let's end this faggotry.

Believe me, the braking (and acceleration, for that matter) in the Boosted Board is already plenty strong enough for that. When I tried one, I could not get to full brakes/reverse in expert mode without getting launched.

Looks like a toy.

That said, I saw someone pull something very similar out of a bag in an airport and zip away to the carousel.

might be cool as a thing to do for the "sport" of it but a regular bike is much better as an actual method of transportation

MFW wanting a boosted board and not knowing how to skate. You carve, put it sideways or wear skate shoes and footbrake dumbass, same as on a non boosted longboard.

looks just like a regular ol' longboard to me

I have one. Fun to ride around and a good way to putter around town.
