I'd had a bee in my bonnet about Boosted ever since their original Kickstarter back in 2014 [1], so I really specifically wanted that one. From a purely vanity perspective, I love the
look of a powered longboard— I feel much cooler riding it than I do teetering on an EUC/onewheel, or derping along on a scooter. But certainly there are tradeoffs too; the battery life is shorter, and the tiny wheels make you way, way more vulnerable to road conditions (like loose gravel) that would barely register for any other vehicle.
