Segway Drift W1 - The first self balancing e-skate

Really interested in seeing how they compare to rollerblades and roller skates.

Pros:

Anything new is worth trying at least

Cons:

It could merely draw interest and fade like a fad

Heelys?

These might catch on as much as actual Segways have :D

I don't know, I have this thing against modes of transportation that can't handle curbs or other obstacles taller than 1/2".

They are not (yet?) allowed on the roads in most countries. You will need a flat surface to skate. Other than that, nice product!

I wanted to like these a lot, but they have major problems.

They're easy, once you learn how to use them. That's easier said than done.

People who have used a segway or ninebot mini scooter will prob have an easier-time with this, but it's def not pickup and go.

I've been on these at a park on a sunny day and fell 3 times after taking 15 mins to balance. USE PADS and HELMET

Kids should stay away, but if you can master these, they are liberating and the coolest mode of transport in tight spaces.

Pros:

Super attention-grabbing

Made by Segway, so feels better than any ol' company

Fun....if you can stay up

Nimble and maneuverable in any space

Cons:

Wear Pads

Don't go across wide cracks, even at speed

No App Support of any kind? Huh? Would love to turn down the sensitivity
