It's a totally fair comparison if Uber is what Boosted Boards are replacing, which it has for me as well.
Anecdote: the other day I had lunch with coworkers 2 miles from our office in SF. I happened to have my board, so I rode it back while they Ubered back. We left at the same time. I beat them back to the office by 5 minutes.
That probably wouldn't have happened on a bike or skateboard, but if it did I'd be sweaty as hell. Plus I'd have to lock up my bike in the garage.
I'm convinced electric skateboards are the fastest, cheapest, most convenient, and most fun (albeit dangerous) form of transportation in a dense city like SF.
