It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

While there are now a few different companies that build self-balancing one-wheeled electric skateboards, Future Motion was one of the very first. The California-based firm has just announced the latest addition to its lineup, the small but mighty Pint S.

I've read reports of the decks catching on the ground and sending the rider flying. I've already had that experience with a sketchy ebike fender so I don't care to repeat the experience. That said, they do look fun.

As a skateboarder I know the pain of tiny rocks and imagine it would be like that but with possibly more speed!

They look fun as a novelty for sure though.
