Kind of looks like a recession version of Tron. :o

Seemed to recall seeing this or something similar..... just don't remember it being sooooo.... portly.

Seems to have two wheels side by side. Which explains the turn on a five cent opiece. Each wheel can operate seperatly one with each motor. Sounds like it may be painfull learning to ride it.
Donnie you know about that right?

Dunno. Looks like a face plant waiting to happen. Don't care what the software can do to keep you upright but one good size pebble or panic stop...
