Another toy for kids to kill themselves on.

That is pretty cool. A different version of a popular toy. This is a two wheeled motorized skate/surf/snow board for land surfing. It might also become a pretty cool mode of transportation for the city types (if the cost comes down). I'll say it is innovative. Good find Retread.

I just finally saw the price tag. Seems a bit steep to me.

You guys are CRACKING ME UP!! Listen to yourselves! How much money do you (me included) have wrapped up in R/C "toys"??

C'mon fellas! The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. I've got $2,800 wrapped up in ONE mountain bike for Pete's sake! With all the bikes (for the whole family) and all the gear in the garage...I've got close to $10k wrapped up in Mountain Biking alone...

True enough, but I don't have $1500 to lay down in one shot on any given toy. I have quite a bit invested in my toys...all told (power tools, computer stuff, home entertainment toys, and my RCs...does not include the wife's hobbies) I have more than 70 grand invested over about a ten year spending period. The only things that I laid out more than a grand for in one shot are my computers and my TV.

This two wheeler, though neat, does not make me want to go out and drop 1500 bucks on. Guess I just don't need it bad enough.

 

[Retread316]

Don't get me wrong...I'm certainly not going to go out and plunk $1,500 down on a friggin scooter either. Just thought it was funny, you guys balking at the price - KNOWING full well what we spend on R/Cs!

 

[x_789]

Well this all comes back to perception and I personnaly don't think for me I would pay more than 300 bucks for that let alone 1500.00 that is a joke in my opion. I plenty of things that cost well over that amount but once again I don't think for me that is the way to go. I would rather buy 3 ofna scooters than waste my money on one of those things. X

I am still a newbie and only have about 1000 - 1500 invested, however I still have a daughter and a gf that I am trying to bring up from South America.
