Funky Duc: Difficult to Turn

Brent starts his testing with the Funky Duc, which he finds difficult to turn due to its narrow stance. He notes that it is not very stable and is not suitable for commuting. While it is fun to ride, Brent does not recommend it for practical use.

Hover Trax: Faster Than Advertised

Next up is the Hover Trax, which Brent finds more manageable than the Funky Duc. He notes that it is faster than advertised and has a wider stance, making it more stable. While it is still not practical for commuting, Brent recommends it for fun rides.

Zboard Pr: Challenging to Stop but Fun

Brent finds the Zboard Pr challenging to stop, but he enjoys the experience of riding it. He notes that it is more practical than the previous two devices, but still not suitable for daily use. Brent recommends it for those who want a fun ride but do not need to commute long distances.

Solo Wheel Extreme: Expensive and Challenging

The final device Brent tests is the Solo Wheel Extreme, which he finds the most challenging to ride. It is also the most expensive, making it less accessible to the average consumer. Brent notes that it is not practical for daily use, but it is a fun device for those who can afford it.

Are These Devices Practical for Daily Use?

After testing all four devices, Brent questions whether they are practical for daily use or just toys for the wealthy. He notes that while they are all fun to ride, they are not stable or fast enough for commuting. Brent asks for the audience’s opinion on whether they would use these devices as part of their daily routine.

Conclusion: Are They Worth the Hype?

In conclusion, Brent finds that the rideables endorsed by celebrities are fun but may not be practical for daily use. He recommends them for those who want a fun ride but do not need to commute long distances.
