Should be recalled for risk of breaking your damn neck.

Just wait til you hear about the worry over e-bikes. Unless you go with a name brand drivetrain like Bosch you're basically shooting in the dark as far as quality.

Who could have guessed that putting batteries inside essentially support beams, could end up badly when loaded?

Probably not the time or the place, but those things don't actually hover.

You don't even see electric skateboards called hoverboards.

To be fair you could say that about any lithium ion battery product. The bigger the battery the bigger the risk.

Even going with major brands won't guarantee anything, pretty much every company that has made a significant amount of bespoke lithium ion battery products has had a recall or two for overheating problems.

Also gasoline isn't much better. Dense energy storage is just naturally volatile, almost like it has lot of stored energy.

That’s why I drive a bike that is safely powered by burning wood. Makes a mean thin crust pizza too. Embrace the flames.

Yes, but gun violence doesn’t kill people. Oh wait.

1st, it has wheels so it doesn't make sense to call it that.

2nd, hasn't this happened before?
