I noticed an unconventional plug in one of the videos. Does that mean it needs a wall wart for charging, vs. the Seg's standard linecord?

The remote control capability surprises me in that it's able to stay 'upright' without a center of gravity above the platform. As I recall, the e167 required weight in a saddlebag to stay upright with no passenger.

Tiny wheels and platform - looks like it's intended for children. Doesn't look very robust either. I've been able to glide away from two accidents in which I was hit by a car, although with a wobbly wheel each time. It looks to me like the Ninebot wouldn't survive falling over.

How is the kickstand deployed?

Are you going to evaluate the extended range batteries?
