I think the current version would easily pass that test. I went to the Best Buy store in Palo Alto where you can demo one for free. The guy there told me that after hours they race it around the store and parking lot, etc. Customer demos are limited to "turtle mode" but it was still incredibly fun to ride.

I could see teenagers mocking it if they could't afford one (which most could not) but there is no doubt it's one of the most fun things I've ever ridden -- probably even more fun than skateboarding.
