Engine: 2-stroke,1-cylinder, air-cooled Displacement: 49cc Oil type: petrol, 1:25 engine oil mixing Start: Pull start Max speed: 30km/h Tire: 14 inches
apparently you can order them from china for ~$350
or from what I think is the US for $800 - http://www.extreme-scooters.com/MotoMini_Karts_store.htm
ebay for $350.. http://stores.ebay.com/April-e-shop_W0QQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247

Looks like a lot of fun, although, it also looks somewhat heavier than a normal skateboard. How long could you go on one of those with a single charge?

Ahh OK. I was under the impression that it was electric. Gasoline-powered would make more sense.

Yeah, those tires look more efficient against a concrete surface.

for some reason I though that part was just part of his signature... 
$350 isn't as bad as I was expecting.

You knew it was bound to happen. First, we had manual-pedalled bicycles, then came motorcycles.
We had manual skateboards, and now ... motorized skateboards.
I'm still waiting for the hoverboards, damn it!

We're gonna have to let them use the carpool lanes on the freeways. I hope they can maintain at least 70 MPH during off hours.

How about that control cable getting caught under a tire or something? Cool but iffy. Also bailing on a normal skateboard sucks. How bad would it suck bailing at 20 MPH?
Cool though. If I had throw away cash it'd be fun.

Hahaha! Seeing someone wipe out at 70 MPH with lots of speeding cars behind them - that would be quite a site. Sad later, but fun for just a moment.

Dude. I bought one of these things last year. Its bad ass. I had to reinforce some of the welds bu once you get the hang of it you can outrun people on bikes and dodge trafic and stuff. Its good fun. I bucked myself once at about 25 going aroung a corner. It wasnt pritty.

The entire video is made up of footage of the boards(?) on the sand of a beach and off-road on dirt/mud trails..
