As we waited for the light at West Street, this guy slowly made his way down Hyde Park Avenue towards Cleary Square on a motorized wheel thing.

Will you now be claiming Hyde Park is a growing area of innovation like you did when you posted a pic of a smoking douche on a hoverboard?
Nope

I've even stopped predicting it would be the next hot artists' area.

How were they doing it ironically? Can you not hide or park while using a two-wheeled "hoverboard"?
More sensible than the 2-wheelers

You still need to learn how to use these, but these 1-wheelers make much more sense than the "hoverboards".
* These can lean.
* You can fit a bigger battery in it, probably.
* They go faster, allegedly 15mph / bike lane speed.
* A larger wheel isn't going to throw you to the ground when you hit a smaller pothole.
That said, you can still hit the ground pretty easily. I wouldn't have my hands in my pockets, and I'd be wearing helmet / knee pads / elbow pads / wrist guards.

Also great for picking up chicks at stoplights; hoverboard, helmet, knee pads, wrist pads = smooth operator

Far more welcome than wrong-way joggers, two abreast.

Could be mistaken but they've been out longer than hover boards. Solowheel is the one I know of but in sure there are others. They'll set you back a pretty penny and seem to be safer than the new ones.

I've been seeing this guy on River Street near Cleary for the last few weeks. I bet he got it for Christmas.

Saw this guy today on River riding a white scooter/wheel and carrying two cases of bottled water in the rain. Impressive.
