There is a term for vehicles like that long board and the electric unicycles that I just heard today, Last Mile vehicles, they are ideal for people who don't want to own a car and who take public transit who otherwise walk or bike a mile or more to their transit stop, an electric vehicle that you can then take with you on the public transit and take that last mile to your job or school is ideal!
It's not about replacing bikes or replacing walking, it's about replacing cars and if you can take your transportation with you to your office or class room then it's going to appeal to a much larger group.
