Saw these on Venice Beach yesterday. These things are pretty interesting. For lower priced ones with different brands Google "Smart Balance Wheel". You'll see a few different types and brands at a price for most budgets.

Hope the extra information helps. Best of luck.

If only this had spoked wheels so I could put an activity tracker watch on one to see how much of a workout it's getting.

I wonder how they can justify the $1128 price tag (or the $1400 for that matter) when
Amazon
has other brands selling theirs as low as $320 to $700.

Add $400 for selling it at the Brookstone and throw in a discount code to make it "sweeter"
It is still $1120 plus $8 shipping.

P.S.
No HDMI kills this whole deal

IO Hawk is a rip off version of the original Chick Robotics from China. Look at the original company symbol (IO)...Can get it for half the price there if you're willing to wait.

^ there is no vehicle on earth that doesn't have a weight limit.

More to the point, if you exceed the weight limit a little walking to get under it is probably a good idea. ;)

Seriously people, don't you dare buy this. Look on
Amazon
, they're $400-500 for the EXACT same Chinese made product.

These things sell quick on
ebay.
And Cabelas right I've seen a million makers of these. Eventually the price will fall and become affordable for the common man to use at work.
