Villac Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes, got that too, @Russ Raper . It seemed like a good chance to cash in my IPS Xima Lhotz, but my son likes to use it so I'm keeping it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddylaz Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 We have a newspaper here in the UK called the Daily Mail that THRIVES on basically selling fear. Their latest favourite topic are the 'deadly' hoverboards. Their website has pretty much an equal number of horror articles on them as ISIS now ?

DangerousDick Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Great, all we need now is to see a picture of an 'Extremist' with a bomb strapped on - that'll really finish us all off, may be literally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am coming more and more to the conclusion that EUCs are just not safe enough, no matter wether they are high-class like the Ninebot One or low-class like generics. The Governments will not approve them because their construction regarding the dangerous battery, the battery managment system and the dependency on just one control board and energy source is precarious.

Those electric cars must terrify the crap out of you then, they are like a potential Armageddon on wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
