I did just find a use for them in my area... riding them TO a car2go, and then driving the car2go to work.
Also, having now used one for a couple KM in a fairly non-busy area and mostly on sidewalks, and seeing how awkward even that was, I can definitely see how people could get injured on these suckers if they were in a busier area and had to react quickly. Maybe not life or death (unless you get hit by a car) but definitely the potential for a lot of sprained ankles and wrists, and maybe a ligament tear or two.
