RidingInTheRain Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What I find interesting is the sonar that allows the hoverboard to prepare for obstacles. I could see EUCs using that too, might have saved me one or two crashes where my current wheel was too sluggish in responding to a dip in the pavement.

esaj Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The motors seem fairly powerful, but I bet you can hit the ground with that if you push hard enough (or the battery is low), and then you'll be flying... Interesting motor design though, it's a direct-drive with hollow middle. Having trouble typing, I froze my fingers off while test-riding the app (can't use gloves with touch-display)... it's literally freezing outside (-0.5C), although nothing compared to a really cold mid-winter (-30C).

Villac Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 @esaj, your sacrifice is appreciated! Just ordered some of this conductive thread to make finger/thumb conductive tips on gloves to work touch screens: http://www.adafruit.com/product/640 because winter is coming (though it sounds like Eastern USA has it easy compared to Finland!)

Jag_Rip Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I sense a conspiracy going to get rid of household pets with that much "sonar" "ultrasound" and acustic positioning in our products.. Simply put, you dont want to walk your dog with this one... and you are going to look for your cat over and over again. @esaj H&M sells cheap woolen gloves that actually work on smartphone screens. Had to get them in Stockholm last November. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
