I'm really excited about this product, I'll probably buy one but I would like to try it first. My main usage for it would be to go from my house to the train station about 1 mile away.

It would be very cool if future versions included some kind of hook or latch so it can be chained to a bike pole or something similar, that will make it not only a toy, but an important piece of my daily commute.

This is similar to how I use my onewheel, public transportation is 3 miles away. You can put a chain on it as is but you can also carry it in with you (25 lbs)

I'm glad to hear that. The route from my house to the train station has a couple of gentle hills and my weight is 155 pounds. Should I be concerned that it won't have enough power to climb those hills?

on one of these, those hills will be your favorite part of the ride. I've been up and down very steep inclines and get the feeling of defying gravity.
