Wanna run with my crew huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?

Stereotype posted:



These OneWheel guys got the Federal Marshals to come to CES apparently to shut down the Chinese company making literal exact knockoffs of their cool board thing.

I'm glad they did that, because then I heard of it, and it looks super cool and fun. However it costs $1500 and lol I'd rather buy a moped for a third the price.

However, that cheap chinese knockoff is probably like 80% as good and costs 30% their special American version and is on Alibaba. Is Alibaba legit still?

Oh sorry also a link: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-01-07/u-s-marshals-raid-hoverboard-booth-at-ces

I rode on a prototype of one of these at makerfaire a couple of years ago and it was hard as gently caress to stay balanced.
