i genuinely thought that someone just took the wheels from a mac pro and bolted them to a board
That's exactly the reason why I clicked on it.
you're not the only one haha
Then at least I would understand that price.
Braille skateboarding actually did that
that would explain the price
The wheels are just so pathetically small for any sort of bump or unevenness
...you know, like the ones every 2 feet on a city sidewalk. Who designed this and thought "yep this is good for commuting"?
probably made for europe
@@eriksvensson2098 believe me, Europe is bumpy
@@eriksvensson2098 With many streets older than the entire US as a country? No.
@@eriksvensson2098 how can you have a Swedish sounding name and claim that Europe isn't bumpy? Have you been outside?
@@hjalmarlevin1092 its been a while since ive last left the house. Wonder how society has evolved since i last saw it. Will there be flying cars, strange beings and cities taller then the clouds?
Reminds me of those plastic plates with casters my school had when I was a kid.
Many bruises from being pushed way too hard on those.
Ayy, shout out to all the bruised tailbones out there from those little things. My school had a couple wood ones too, holy crap were they uncomfortable
It cannot even go up a minor incline...Its basically a toy for getting round the office. Its what the boss does to rub it in and make you look poor. My brand new scooter cost about the same as this and its a 125cc.

Christ died for your sins and rose on the third day, showing that anyone who trusts in him for salvation, will have everlasting life.
(John 11:25-26) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

I’d like to see you invent something lol, last time I checked inventing something required knowledge
8:20 that is exactly why everyone should be talking about the voltage independent watthours (wh) instead
YES thank you. why not just joules though?
People sorta already do when it matters, though, don't they? Like in EVs for example?
In phones the voltage is standardized as far as I know, so mAh is good enough for companions. I might be wrong, so I'd appreciate it if anyone had examples of phone battery cells that differ in voltage
Alex is not very bright with everything that has even the tiniest amount of electronics in it..

One wheel is MUCH better, probs one of the best stand on motorised board thats not like a long longboard

now i know what this item lacks: RGB
Humans: *Have 2 feet*
Alex: "one for each front foot, one for each back foot"
Humans: WHAT?
it means u lean forward or back obviously
toes and heels
in surfing when you stand up on a board you put your front foot in the front and the back foot in the back
@@nighttimeClock But he said "for each" front foot and "for each" back foot. Obviously, there can be only one of either.
@@dionyzus2909 no it's just a way to say it... English is wierd.

Especially since you can buy boosted boards for MUCH MUCH less money, the only benefit is the size.
@@lolly166541 you mean electric skateboards? Cause boosted is a brand and they are expensive as hell lol
@@dodoontherocks yo you guys both realize that boosted is out of business right? They closed in the beginning of 2020
@@lilbabygroot yea no wonder lol
That doesn't make any sense. Skateboards/longboards are still sold in stores (and they should be) despite being inherently dangerous forms of transportation. You are responsible for navigating the risks and limitations of the form of transport you use.
"in a crowded city it could make sense"
*literally had a hard time in an area where there's no people around*

Nah probably Anthony but on the company card
Lmao

Yeet
I want more likes then the actual comment 😤
it feels like someone went into automation and maxed all of the sliders for quality and materials while not knowing what they are doing.
It looks like they took an idea from The Grand Tour where Richard Hammond was riding a laptop through an airport
And the briefcase that Clarkson had.
@@dustojnikhummer that joke breafcase was better than this thing .
Oh yea, i'm 100% certain they got the idea from that.
Yeah Hammond's was much better at least it was laptop too
Except that had a better way to stand on it atleast.
I'd rather have the four-wheeler ngl
You would probably rather be a furry too.. so..
@@Big_Dai so clever, aren't you
and you can get that polaris much cheaper than that price too
So it’s like a really expensive hoverboard with 4 wheels that can’t turn as sharp and is a little smaller?
Seems like almost all the problems could be solved in software. Theoretically it should be able to spin in circles.
I'd also want a Bluetooth module so I could load it with cargo and it would just follow me.
It could be your second guy anytime you're trying to move something like couch, able to pivot around corners on its own.
I mean for half the price or the d
Same you can get a OneWheel that does what this does way way better lol
I'm really not a fan of those "hoverboards", but I'd take one over this, any day of the week.
@@KynosMusic yeah this devices is pointless. Its made just for people to consume, they don't expect anyone to actually use it. Only difference between this and kids toy hoverboarss is the price and the inability to go over small bumps.
Doesn’t even look like they tested it either, they just designed it first and rushed it to the shelves.
As a OneWheelXR+ owner this thing seems insultingly expensive. OWs are very expensive, but they are basically vehicles, and the sheer amount of fun you can have while riding one is second to none. The first time I rode mine up the Rocky Mountains while playing Pokemon GO I could not stop laughing at how amazing it felt to basically have a private escalator to everywhere. If you've ever wanted to feel like you own one of those "people conveyor belts" that they have in big airports, but just all the time, OneWheel is what you're looking for.
"one for each front foot, one for each back foot"
Perfect for Centaurs

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Perfectly balance as all things should be
No wonder he couldn’t brake! This thing’s made for quadrupeds!
"It's not lube." 😁 Alex is so adorable. 😄
"adorable” that's a weird way to put it.
Alexander “Like like like like like like like like like like like like like like” Clark
I could imagine seeing Linus roll around the office with that...
yeah, it seems like its more of a office traverse than city one.
Japan dudes roads must be incomprehensibly better as in here we have holes bigger than those wheels...
Yes Alex!!! At 8:44, he says "no damping" instead of "no dampening" which most people would say. No damping means it has no mechanism to reduce oscillations in the suspension. No dampening would mean that it doesn't make something wet.
reminds me of that grand tour episode at the airport, yeah, that's what it is for.
"jeremy you have just killed a man"
80kg limit lol keep using it you'll get fat from lack of exercise then it'll be useless
Yes!😂

Braille Skateboarding, they might get something out of this! ^^
Alex wins some engineering points for correctly using "damping" instead of "dampening"
dude that intro HOOKED me well done
I'm often impressed by the breadth of Alex's engineering knowledge.
Great video!
Imagine if you step on it and then you realize that your Walkcar is in your bag.
Am I the only one who thinks that this is just a less controllable hoverboard.
please stop calling thing with wheels "hoverboards". Don't jump on this marketing nonsense.
This looks like a product designed by someone who didn't know what he was doing and then built with high quality materials.
It's more management gave a decent engineer a project they did best they could with.
I'd love to see you guys check out the onewheel and more electric rideable in general! It's always insightful to see tech guys look at it rather than outdoorsy mountain bikers and stuff, since your perspective is more similar to the first-time buyer.
Alex: $2000....that's the silly rich people side of it....
*Meanwhile Linus in the next room building a $14000 gaming pc......
A remote could have made this actually good, to be totally honest. Since the current version is $2k, I'm sure either they or their competition will make a version which is $200 (so you could buy 10 of those instead 1 of the ones in the video), or even $100 (probably with a quarter of the battery the other one has, with a $150 battery upgrade option you can use at any time, allowing you to bulk-charge a bunch of spare batteries before a long trip).
80kg feels like nothing if you think about clothes (especially in winter) and a heavy-ish backpack
And simply just the body weight...
Totally true it’s like it was made for smaller bodies (maybe average Japanese adult?) but it most definitely is not enough. I’m a 20 y o with 174cm hight and about 76 kg of weight and I have a healthy body but with just a laptop and charger on my backpack I can easily go past that 80 kg limit
I mean it depends, problem is that it's targeted at fit people that do some exercises to keep that low weight- but those people will always prefer walking to this...
Definitely made for the smaller demographic, I'm 1.82m (about 6ft) & I'm right around that 80kg limit & I'm fairly light for my height. Oh well, looks like I can't spend $2k on...that thing. What a shame.
@@jojoo4094 Hey, I'm 172 and I weigh 58kg. Healthy too, well as healthy as I cycle 40+km to and from work everyday.
7:24 Strain gauges don’t work the way you explain. This is the reduction of the resistive cross section in the wire that reduces the resistance in the gauge. This allow you to know the deformation of the part it is stuck on, which itself is related to its mechanical strain state, which itself is related to its mechanical load.
About four minutes into the video and I'm thinking: So this is basically something that you could DIY for like 1/6th the price
I could only imagine someone like Steve Jobs, if he were still alive, rolling around Apple Park on this. Practically floating around the building like he’s Jesus or something.
This is 100% for *THAT* college kid. You know the one.
The one from Japan that smokes, has a $10,000 laptop, drives a GTR on a basically pedestrian only campus, and spends $7k/mo on a luxury apartment just off campus.... yea, I know that kid.
This feels like a linus tech tip video. But I guess since it’s Alex they felt the audience wouldn’t watch so they stuck it on short circuit. I think Alex does a great job. He is by far the most interesting and relatable person at LMG.
How did they manage to make all that aluminium and carbon fiber look like cheap plastic? Impressive.
A telescope control stick that folds into the board instead of pressure controls is my first thought here. Would not add much cost or space to build, and would add a more reliable point of control and balance. Just fold out and extend control stick, push to go, pull to break, and twist or sideways to turn. Sort of like a mix between this and segway that still fits in your backpack. That I would buy
Must have been created by a former Apple pricing strategist..
Also by a former Apple designer probably, since that glossy flat surface is completely garbage to stand on
Master Man yes because we all step on our laptops
2:20 i goto ASU and ive seen the monowheel used by like, 8 or 9 students here; its kinda neat, but most people use skateboards or bikes to get around the campus; so methinks these kinds of concepts are aimed at college students with money to burn
It'd be more entertaining modifying that into an RC car
It would be cheaper to start from scratch. For 400 bucks you could build an rc car that could race real cars, this thing is useless. For 600 you can build an electric skateboard that goes 20mph.
5:20 Thought I was having a stroke or something because of the pattern on Alex's shirt, from far away it looks like its blurry and everything else is in focus lol
this whole video I was just thinking that it's a crumby electric plate from gym class
in the Philippines for 2000 dollars you can buy a decent branded 125cc scooter, plus after market modifications
7:22 "one for each front foot, one for each back foot"
I came here for this
8:47
Alex is pointing out small individual components
David: SHAKY CAM TIME!
"Who would pay 2 grand for this" "Next on LTT, we review EVGA's 3090 FTW3!"
I'd rather spend 2k on a 3090 than this shit.
@@CenturionAlexander same tbh
@@CenturionAlexander yes, this can easily be replaced with a cheap ass hoverboard. There is no such alternative that is comparable to (or better than) a 3090.
At least the gpu doesn't try to kill you
for a battery the mAh are multiplied by the voltage to get watt hours, an actual unit for measuring amounts of energy.
so if the 2000 mAh battery is at 20 volts it would have 40 watt hours of total stored energy.
the 5000 mAh phone battery at 3.6v only stores 18 watt hours, or less than half, despite its mAh rating being more than double.
I feel like the Grand Tour Did this. You can thank Richard Hammond for this idea.
Hear me out electromagnetic shoe insoles that lock you on to the thing, with a little wider stance if you were locked in I could see it being way easier to control.
Hey all my life I've been looking for an expensive way to look pretentious when I walk and not walk at the same time...
Where were you when hoverboards became popular
Don't forget that butler to push you up the inclines
Former longboarder here and this contraption is a death trap. Hit a pebble that rocks your centre of mass behind the board and you'll sledgehammer your head in the ground, the acceleration provided by gravity with the wheels lack of friction won't let you fall on your bum, it'll be back head first.
1:12 Thought that was going to be a "segway" into our sponsor!.
Firstly, it just reminds me of when Richard Hammond rode something sorta similar through an airport a few years ago on The Grand Tour & secondly, I'd expect, for something that costs around that amount, at least a Bluetooth connection so the device could be controlled by the users phone or maybe an actual remote.
MK2: This one can do more than go in a straight line.
I rode a Boosted Board longboard for years. On those you have the wide powerful stance you mentioned in the video, plus suspension through a long flexible deck and heaps of speed from rear drive motors. This has none of those advantages and the wheels look like they belong on a suitcase. I struggle to see how you would use this at any speed on a mildly rough sidewalk or any realistic city street. Going 24 mph on an e-board was terrifying enough even with massive wheels and a much more optimal riding stance, and it was fun. This seems dorky. Cool tech though!
2000USD for that is a lot sensible than paying 1700USD for A Stand and Wheels..
@@gregutz4284 nope, read my comment, this thing is more usable than a stand and wheels from Apple.
For Actual price to perf, one would never go Apple or whatever this is.
Electric longboard next? Those are actually pretty good.
Was this made for the Jucero crowd IE those with more brass than sense.
I feel like an electric skateboard such as a boosted board is small enough for most people, and would be significantly easier to maintain balance on, afterall anyone who has stood on a moving bus or train has(probably) noticed that standing facing the side is more stable than facing forward (or backwards).
Alex: "We don't know what temper this aluminum is"
Me: "Ah yes I would hate to have angry aluminum."
Maybe for a specific work setting. Long corridors with a very gradual turning radius. Hangars, etc. *shrug*.
Just seems like resources were spent here but could have been better spent elsewhere.
I heard so many "likes" that I just had to like, like this video!
Yeah I don't normally get bothered by a video but I noticed too, could do with ... like... a little less of them ;)
I heard you, like, like likes
I don't think it's usable in Japan. 1) self-driven transport requires license plate. 2) most places have steeper slopes than where you tested.
When someone copies from the Grand Tour Airport episode... 😒
I can see a use for it in places like shopping malls and airports for people who find walking challenging, like with arthritis. But I think the learning curve might be too steep for all but frequent fliers/shoppers to make sense.
I can't be the only one who imagined "Roundabout - Yes" playing at 6:24 and the intro section.
2:40 sex wax is grippy on a wet surf board, but maybe you don't know (you probably do) sex wax is also used to wax rails for grinding on a skateboard, because it is slick when you are dry. so not a great idea for adding grip to a dry situation.
When the broke the gasket I had a small mental breakdown
I live in Yokohama and haven't seen anyone use one of this. In the first place, this thing cannot be used in Japan because anything that goes above 6km/h is considered a motor vehicle and needs a license slapped on there. (I looked it up because I originally was thinking of using an electric scooter to go between my house and the nearest station, which is a 22 minute walk away). So yeah, can't be sold and used in Japan. If you see one on the road, it's because they're using it illegally and cops can fine you for using it.
Why buy this for 2k when you can float on a ONEWHEEL ?
Richard Hammond made one on the grand tour like 2 years ago. Made out of laptop and battery only difference he had a controller for the speed control
“Pretty much an f1 car” Maybe that’s where Ferrari took their inspiration for 2020 (I hope someone gets this)

I missed these videos about random, not PC related tech.
Sooo...a skateboard?
...for 2000$?
I have a Onewheel xr, and it’s a blast! I think short circuit should do a review of one. On price though, once you get accessories a Onewheel xr will be slightly over 2k US
It's made in japan, so their feet are a lot smaller and so are they.
and also in turn weigh less for tbe 80 kg weight limit... I'm just 18, and I'm already near it at 60 kg, while keeping really fit...
If anyone needs a portable small skateboard, a simple Sole Skate for $15-20 is all you need. This tech is cool but still needs more improvements to be reasonably worth the cost
I'd spend $2,000 on it if it was Back to the Future style hoverboard.
I’ll give a kidney for a hoverboard
only if it'd come in one color:
pink!
This is something where a cabled controller in hand could actually improve it in some areas, like safety. If the controller has an auto break or slowdown as soon as there no accelleration input.
3:38 - Don't specify temper. You've got to be kidding me. 99.9% chance it's 7075-T651. There's literally no reason to go specialty and it's also a meaningless specification for this product. They probably shouldn't even bother with that, because no one cares and it doesn't matter.
Just noticed the arc de soleil in the background, nice choice!
“Looks like a kids toy”
“Basically a F1 car”
Um ok?
This feels like they missed the Hover board craze by a couple years... i just can't figure out why they made it when my hoverboard has been going strong since the OG craze started (before all those houses burned down) and it STILL works just fine.
6:23 you a here for this
Now that you know where the sensors are, you should try turning it around and see if that's better for speed and control?
Why do people at ltt randomly want to hurt themselves? Linus with the static and Alex with the skate car thing.
the only place where i can see this being practical is getting around a very large office space
since when tf do you need to know the temper of aluminum? never.
that can be useful if they use like remote control to follow and put your bag or heavy box on it
"It'd be good for in the city"
yeah unless there's any type of hill 😂
This would be terrible in San Francisco or Seattle
@@MysticalApple Not being able to go up such a shallow incline it would have trouble in Florida
2,7 Ah*25,2V = 68 Wh
