OMG! Another bathroom scale with wheels by Ford motor company!

Remember that bathroom scale with wheels a while ago? Now it's Ford's turn. I don't know what's so great about these wheels, technically.  Why even bother in the first place when we have great EUCs? High school science students make better and useful stuff than this one.

Looks ok for gen. Pub. But I can't see it negotiating kerbs, even those with handicap ramps.  And what about hills? Assuming it has the power, at what angle will the riders ankles be when the board is tipped up at 20 degrees because it has to remain parallel with the road surface? Looks kinda wide too. Might scuff other people's shoes, and cause injury.  Back to the drawing board.

Look, it's a vacuum cleaner! No, it's a lawn mower! No, it's a... Ninebot Sideplant!:blink1: Fantastic idea. Why aren't all EUCs fitted with sidewheels? Surely, this must be the next generation of personal transportation: "Crawling toilet seats".:pooping:
