  • Norm and Simone test the new Segway MiniPro electric personal transporter. Here's how it works, our first impressions from riding, and our confusion of what to do with our hands while standing on it. We're not calling it a hoverboard, so it's up to you to come up with a better name for this kind of device!

    You should wear a Victorian hoop dress (that ends ± 5 cm from the ground) while riding on that thing. It will look like your floating like a ghost.

      Until it catches in the wheels that are like 15cm high and you faceplant lol

      You obviously don`t no what a HOOP-dress is. Because the bird cage like structure that you where under the dress will protect you from that.

      Fun fact: In the European courts of the 18th century it was fashoinable for women to walk with small steps in their big dresses as to immitate floating. They would have loved this.

    I've been watching tested since it started. I've seen all the changes. I personally think Simone is a great addition. The content has been a little bland lately, this was a little more fun, more like the old days. But then again adding an attractive blonde Swedish woman who is also a tech geek, well its pretty hard to go wrong with that lol.

    Simone is by far the most attractive person they've ever had on tested. Welcome to America Simone! Love seeing this content with a female perspective.

    Would be cool to put a mannequin on it and have it ride up to people.

    Welcome Simone. Looking forward to seeing more of you on Tested. The place needed a little more... balance😂

    Will this be banned on a plane like the previous versions that always blow up when overcharged or not functioning overall?

    Wheelboard is the Only Logical name. It's a board with Wheels.

      You're a tool. With that logic a skateboard, longboard, rip sticks, etc. would be called wheelboards.
