I spotted a guy using one of these in the airport a few weeks ago and thought it was neat but didn’t get a closer look. Now Wiz Khalifa was arrested for riding one in an airport:

It only supports 220 lbs so there is a current cut off on that.

What in the world was the arrest for? Only think I can find is them claiming he was refusing to get off it.

I won a bunch of money in vegas a few weeks ago then someone went cruising by on these went to by one but my friends talked me out of it :frowning:

Not only is it a copy of the original but they also copy other companies hashtags on their Instagram posts!

I have no practical reason to buy one but it would cool to try and ride.
