It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

When it comes to off-road, stand-up, personal EVs, you might think you've already seen every configuration imaginable. Well, TLTBoard's new Gorilla board – with its one powered wheel and two outrigger wheels – is proof that you probably haven't.

Should you be interested in getting a Gorilla of your own, you can order one now via the TLTBoard website for US$2,500.

I was on board until the price.

At first I'm the video I was thinking they had to pick only flat ground, but it seemed like it did pretty well in the grass and what not, I figured he'd go over a tree root and it would throw him. After seeing that though, had they been cheaper and I really would have thought them pretty cool.

Oh these will be a hit in my neighborhood. Absolute psycho's willing to ride and pop a wheelie on anything.
