> "Where is my bike and is it OK?"

How does the skateboard avoid this? Where do you park it when you go to a restaurant or something?




Dude. It's a skateboard. You don't park it, you just carry it under your arm. Pretend it's an oversize umbrella or something :)


Have you actually tried carrying a motorized longboard? I did. They ARE bulky. That's what actually stopping me from riding a board to do my groceries. And I wouldn't even consider riding it to the office.

But, who knows, maybe these guys will be able to make a board that is not ridiculously bulky. [Make a lighter 10 lbs version, with 5 miles range, and I'm yours. Even for 1k.]


I've seen lead-acid cell-powered scooters and skateboards. This one looks massively lighter and lower-profile.


I bring it in wherever I go. Haven't had a problem yet.

While grocery shopping, I put it underneath the shopping cart.


I've seen a good number of people bringing longboards into coffee shops and places like that. I'd imagine it would be harder to bring it into a fancier establishment, though.


Norms may change ;-)
