I've seen these pop up on eBay regularly, for something like a tenner. Because of the price, I assumed they were toy kites and didn't pay them any attention.

Should I take them a bit more seriously?

No F-duct any more, but the KERS system is amazing!

I gave the one in the original post to a mate's son. He had a blast flying it - and as Flying Fish's review said, it's better than you'd expect for a tenner.
