- Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
Oh, (bleep). Okay.
(funky techno music)
- I've ridden a Segway once 10 years ago,
but I've never ridden a hoverboard.
- I've never ridden a hoverboard before.
- Why are so many people doing this?
- I hope I don't die.
- Why can't you walk?
- I really hope I don't fall.
- I felt like an old lady.
- I hope it doesn't start on fire.
- I'm not into this new technology,
why aren't these kids using their legs?
- I'm guessing there's not gonna be a huge
difference between the cheap and expensive one,
except maybe the expensive one won't blow up.
- I don't even know what a cheap one is like.
Safety first, huh.
- This looks like the one you see
on the street all the time.
- It's got like fake rims.
- We're gonna be best friends. (bleep) it!
- Oh, my god, you can't even stop it
moving 'til I get the other foot on.
- This is where I put my first,
why do you keep doing that?
(bleep)
- Now I gotta just put my weight on there.
Oh, (bleep).
- I don't understand.
- One foot spin trick technique.
- What do I do? What do I do?
- Wow, it's amazing how good people get at these.
- This was supposed to be more fun.
- If you were like the boss at work,
when somebody was in trouble and
you were gonna go yell at them,
you could just like fold your arms and kinda just...
- I definitely can see why so many people
have fallen on their asses on these things.
- Back it up, back it up, aye.
I should bring this to the club.
(upbeat techno music) (cash register chiming)
- It's got heavier duty wheels, that's pretty nice.
You could prolly go over some really
bumpy pavement and hardly even notice it.
- Strap in for this one, 'cause I'm a real speed freak.
- It's a handlebar for your thighs.
- [Man] Oh, this is smooth.
- So this one is a lot easier to adjust to.
- I could never walk again.
- Ah.
- Ah. Oh my god, okay, that was scary.
- I don't feel myself back-and-forthing
the way I did on the other one.
- Oh no, I dropped my phone.
Easy.
- This little dance is fun.
- Insert cool ballerina music.
(classical piano music) La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
- Three, two, one.
Whoa!
- Feel like if I'm rich, this is the only way
that I'll wanna transport everywhere.
- Just like, whatever.
- If I was a kid, this is what I
would've wanted for Christmas.
This is probably the equivalent of the cool Furby
that could talk and like, tell you that it loved you,
when other's wouldn't.
- Apparently, this one you can
remote control from your phone.
- Oo, there's a new firmware upgrade.
- Whoa!
- You don't even have to walk to your hoverboard,
it'll come to you.
- I can change the lights.
- Oo, it changes colors depending on which way you turn.
- So I wonder what I would really do with this, though.
- Just to scare your coworkers.
- Nice.
- The future is here!
- Be fun to put a baby on the top.
- Come here, robot friend, to me.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
- My trusty steed.
- If you weren't feeling lazy enough.
- This is amazing.
- Ooh. Ooh!
- Okay this is basically just like a little car.
- This is how I would do it.
- Can I ride around the office like this?
You can't stop me, I'm going to.
- I could do this all day.
- It's all about luxury.
- It was be so (bleep) cool to do Mario Cart with this.
- This thing tricks you into feeling
like you have so much control,
and then you accidentally lose control and it's all over.
- Whoa! Got a little speed to her after all. Woo!
- Slidin' into the DMs.
- Hoverboards are awesome.
- The Segway was way easier to ride.
The remote control thing was kinda cool,
but I have no idea what the practical
application for that would be.
- I will say, I think that the more
expensive one was a smoother ride.
- The small one was pretty hard to ride,
I don't know how people do that, it's not easy.
- These things are so fun that they would
give you the temptation to never walk again.
- With the cheaper one, I was kinda just
flailing around, hoping that I wouldn't die.
- Both hoverboards worked great.
- I think if someone gave this to me as a gift,
I would be all about it, but I don't really
see it being that I'd buy on my own.
- The feature of being able to control
the Segway remotely was pretty sweet.
Riding around in the chair was like, the most fun ever.
- I mean, I can't afford either.
So, what's the point?
