i'll never understand that need people have to not exercise anymore.. even more on a skateboard... Wall-e here we come.

Getting commuters out of cars and onto these will have a net positive effect. They're for getting around, not exercising.

I don't really get the snark here, exercise and fast travel arn't mutually exclusive. In fact, one might find more time to exercise by making it faster to get from point a to point b in general?

I'm all for getting commuters out and on the road, even it means more e-bikes and e-skateboards. That said it's about the exact same speed. I have a cruiser deck with longboard wheels and ceramic bearings, when you factor in traffic lights I usually wind up catching up with Boosted Board users (talking about SF traffic here). Now where Boost Boards can beat me is a long stretch of road with no traffic or lights, but that doesn't describe most urban commuting.

You must be fast, I was relatively leisurely biking to work in Oakland, usually about 14-16mph, and a guy on a e-skateboard zipped right by me.
