Got to have one of these.

My grandson has just bought one of these. Yes I had a go. Once you get the balance OK, it's good to go.
I put this in technology as it is.
This going to be 'the must have for Christmas'.

Looks like fun ! Me I spend more time getting up as I fall over a lot so I have a feeling it's not for me but I can see my nephews having great fun on them.

Theyre great Emjay...in town I always see a lad that has got a similar version but different design and he goes like the clappers on it very handy for getting around town albeit the outskirts where the pavements arnt so busy and he just pops it under his arm when he walks so its totally portable.

There are ones that are just a single wheel that is larger. It even can be fitted with a telescopic handle for better support.
(Good for us old uns)

I can see there being a few broken bones with these

Re: Got to have one of these.

They do look like fun, but my balance is not that good so would spend most of my time on my bum.

Re: Got to have one of these.

I can't stand on anything unless there's something (or someone) to hold on to. Always been like this with heights.
A comfortable seat, maybe a hooter and a place to put my shopping would be nice. Another than that, it looks quite pleasant.

Re: Got to have one of these.

It seems that this young crowd are immune to broken bones. Or are they?

Re: Got to have one of these.

I saw quite a few of these while on holiday in Devon this year - there seemed to be more girls than boys using them at the time and they made it look so easy, gliding in and out everywhere and no knocks or tumbles.

I think I would have been tempted in my younger days, they look great fun

Re: Got to have one of these.

The certainly look the business alright. Wonder are they easier to manage than roller skates, I could never master those as a kid.
