Oh my, I just read their list of claims on the website. To say that they are clueless about the physics of balance would be an understatement.
I can't help thinking you're need to be pretty light on your feet to stand on a 3.5mm thick plate of anything, although they carefully shoot every photograph so that you have to sit and scratch your head a bit before you notice that they must be about 16mm thick where the platform blends to the axle, which means the platform is effectively canted outwards if you place your foot tight to the pedal boss, which, by the way, increases your Q-factor by about 20mm compared with normal pedals.
