BBB Complaint

Yesterday, after work, I had a repeat scenario of last Friday. I rode my board from work, not to home, but to the most strategic bus stop. Trying to go all the way home would result in me kicking the heavy board for the last half a mile.

As I coasted to the bus stop, one of the students sitting there asked me if it was a gun I was holding. No, I told him. Not a gun. Just an electric board. It’s a great way to meet people, though I still haven’t found that cool skater chick. Yet.

Then today I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I have very mixed feelings about doing this. Mostly because the board is still so fun. It’s still makes commuting to work, without using my car, a joy.

But it still doesn’t get 7 to 10 miles. It still never went even half that. And for $400, I expect to get 7 to 10 miles. Even if it’s just for when the battery is still new. I spent $400 dollars I didn’t really have, expecting to commute the whole 3 miles to work and back. For $400, I never got that.

So, for never returning my calls or emails, for false advertising, now the ball is in your court, Emad Boards.
