Like a Segway, but cool and cheap

  Run at 25 MPH  (check)
  Jump over cars. (check)
  Cheap @ USD$269 (check)
  Looks like you are doing something hard (check)

Just add a motor for the lazy and assisted balancing system and I think we have a winner.

Woah! My birthday is at the end of august, and for the first time ever I know what I want and it's only July.

Everything about it is cool, but you still look like a huge dork running on it. (Except, possibly, if you are doing back flips or jumping a car).

I want to get these, however I can't get over the feeling that you'd be seconds away from snapping a leg at any given moment. Hmm.

cheep = cheap ...

looks like a good way to get to work
