It turns the wheels, based on this image. It's not a skateboard, it's an rc car you stand on top of.

And if you look at that image for more than a second, you'll see that it's just car parts scaled down to a scale that wouldn't be physically possible. That brace caliper assembly is the size of a thumbnail.

Even if that system could work reliably, it would handle worse than a normal skateboard and those weird... I don't know, fenders I guess? Whatever they are, they'd pose a serious hazard for catching on debris.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
