DO WANT! DTV Shredder
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Oh my god! Get a load of the DTV Shredder--a motorized skateboard that looks like a cross between a Segway, a skateboard, and Johnny 5 from the "Short Circuit" movies.

Instead of wheels, the device uses two continuous tracks of the sort you'd get on a tank, and is powered by a 15hp 200cc Honda engine. It looks pretty easy to use, too. Forward motion seems to be activated by twisting the handlebar grip and steering is taken care of by leaning left or right on the skateboard-type platform that sits above the tracks.

By using continuous tracks, the DTV Shredder is able to tackle a variety of terrain. It'll shred (that's gnarly skate talk for "traverse") all manner of surfaces including tarmac, sand, dirt, mud, or snow and can tackle slopes of up to 40 degrees and reach speeds of up to 30mph.

hm... make it more compact and lightweight (20lbs so you can carry it as a backpack). Looks too rugged terrain purpose to me. Who's going to take this offroad as opposed to ATV or mountain bike?

you build it, it starts a interest, people will pay no matter what if they want it bad enough.
