Last year Musk announced a production date target of 2023. Obviously that hasn’t happened, but he’s a helluva lot closer now than he was at the beginning of the year
The Ripple’s weight is listed as 15kg (33 lbs), but it’s not clear if that includes the battery, which the rider must bear in a backpack. The throttle control is wired and handheld.
Prices start at $2,200 for the board (with no bindings) and a battery, and range up to $3,300 for the board, bindings and two batteries. The company says they’ll ship by January 1st.

Another solution looking for a problem. Just what is this thing supposed to accomplish? No, I’m not buying the betterment of society nonsense. Musk in particular frightens me with his Neuralink company. Tech has become a monetization platform cloaked as ‘ useful design”. I think it’s become rare that good design is incorporated into these products anymore. Please, Honda retired ASIMO. Let’s leave it that way
Why do humanoid robots all still walk around like they have to take a dump and they’re holding it back? There’s something subtle about the lack of hip rotation that seems common with the boston dynamics bipedal robot, and even back to Asimo.
Probably because replicating natural human movement (or any natural movement, really) is incredibly difficult. We have hundreds of muscles interacting in a myriad of ways, and to replicate that motion with a few servos is no small feat. Not that robots aren’t capable of realistic motion–Boston Dynamics’ bots have shown significant improvement since their inception, and it shows–but it’s a long road.I believe the gate is modeled on Elon’s, and that’s what you’re seeing in this case.
Dancing appears to have been adopted by the industry as a way of showing robots’ movements – it would be be dumb of Tesla*not* to have their robot dance. See the Boston Dynamics dance video
“taking your design requirements from sci fi” Far too many tech bros do this, it’s the entire reason the flying car scam pops up in a 24 month cycle.
People design the environment to suit people. A humanoid robot can fit and function in the same environments without any special considerations.
The depth of the tire’s penetration through the board is adjustable, to accommodate for snow conditions and riders of different weights, up to a maximum of 113kg (250 lbs). The company claims the Ripple can hit 50 km/h (31 mph) and has a maximum range of 20km (12 miles).
