This is a pretty novel concept. The current electric skateboard competitors currently on the market are extremely bulky, heavy and sometimes difficult to maneuver. The Z-Board's are the first ones that come to mind, though there are many other cheaper alternatives.<p>Though, according to their Kickstarter page, they're planning on retailing for ~$2000 a board. This is at least twice as much as their competitors. This seems pretty high to me, unless they're planning on dropping the cost as they iterate on new designs.<p>I could also be completely off and convenience like this is actually worth much more than I'd expect.
