"Motorized Skateboard" TED Talk

This is definitely an interesting and unique concept brought into light, yet also very risky. While most people prefer bikes or just take trains and buses to get where they need, why use a skateboard? However this invention could also get a lot of money from people who currently skateboard, or be shunned because it doesn't follow the tradition of using your own legs to move the skateboard. Hopefully this invention succeeds because it certainly looks like it could go far.
