As always I am skeptical of anything on Yanko Design

Are they sketchy or something?

I feel like clueless would be a better word: The products they post are always wildly impractical in some way. If your browse their website you'll see what I mean.

I saw one for an electric skateboard a few weeks ago with these giant metal "fenders" that look visually interesting, but pretty much guarantee you'll crash if you actually attempted to ride the the board in the real world. In the promotional photos it was clear they weren't actually riding it, just posing on it and had probably never ridden a board in their life.
