    in Ontario it is illegal to use it on the sidewalk or on any bike lane. but most officer wont bother you if you do use on either places.

    When I was 12, my (historic) neighborhood had a guided segway tour that everyone, as you said, took as a total joke. So one day, my friends and I decided to ambush them with airsoft guns. I have to say, it was the most hilarious thing to see 25 or so segways scatter in a matter of seconds. What was even more funny was that our parents had a very hard time disciplining us as they too say the hilariousness in it.

    Quit calling these things Hoverboards. They don't hover, they use wheels on the ground, and look just a stupid as Segways.

    Hilarious that there are men and women actually tasked with making mobility scooters for the elderly and disabled 'cool' - and that highlighting safety standards is part of that doomed strategy. Keep it up guys.

  • @FrankGreenway
    @FrankGreenway 7 лет назад +1

    dude this is so cool. I've rode an segway and love it. I'm currently 308 pounds but I'm losing on my special low carb lifestyle. when I reach 220 pounds this is going to be my reward to myself.

    • @Quieromuchachas

  • @brucecoulda1596
    @brucecoulda1596 8 лет назад +1

    It's not a "hover board" unless it does just that "hover" it's a two wheel balance device. When a helicopter hovers is it on the ground with the blades turning? No, it needs to be off the ground in one spot the best the piolet can without going up, down, left, right, or any other direction. And it's hard to do perfect. Even a hover craft relies on that little bit of air underneath suspending it to move with little friction as possible. People that day they're on a hover board with wheels needs to get slapped by everyone in the room for being stupid.

    I feel like Wired is the kid at middle school who just learned a new swear word. They always got to slip one in somewhere to remind people that they are still cool.

  • @Quieromuchachas
    @Quieromuchachas 7 лет назад

    They do have something cool. The Ninebot One! I have one. Super awesome. Also, it is so crystal clear that "hoverboards" got their ideas from Segway. I wish people would stop calling the Mini Pro a hoverboard. Neither of the devices hover.

  • @brucewayne-px4lv

    the standard of coolness is Boosted Boards. Try again Segway.

  • @somedude1700

    People call them hoverboards because when you ride them they are so comfortable that you forget you are riding them and it feels like your hovering
