Thought some of you guys would get a kick out of it.
Seems pretty unique. I like the folding mechanism... looks nice and sturdy.
Tires seem to be a decent size as well.

Nice looking product. Perhaps a bit complicated folding mechanism. Definitely a good competitor to the electric Go-peds.
The same company makes the Mantys portable four wheeled scooter.

reminds me of the MyWay, which doesn't seem to be selling...
looks good, i think they should add front suspension though...

$1500 x 50 scooters = $75000 goal

hopefully they make it...
I don't see any blogs blogging this... bad sign...
no video available on youtube... another bad sign..
facebook page ??

they are also on this euro crowd funding site too,

It came first in the transportation category at the Core77 Design Awards: http://www.core77designawards.com/2013/award_category/transportation/

The Jack scooter has reached it's target on Symbid. After two years they have finally moved from prototype to production but I'm getting bad reviews. People that have waited all this time and finally received their Jack scooter are facing shaky vehicles, damaged displays and motor issues. I have not been so lucky as to receive my Jack and have thus canceled my order.
BE WARNED!!!!

44 lbs is epic failure. thats definitely not light.
the etwow or the recent vomo is so much lighter at around 25lbs

Thanks for the feed-back .

A typical example of Web agency/graphic designer products/project.

VOMO is pretty light although not as light as an electric skateboard.
