It all started with Marty McFly and the hoverboard in Back to the Future II. If you remember, Marty travels to the year 2015 (sic!), and borrows a little girl’s hoverboard to escape the police that are after him. Coincidentally, we are in the year 2015, and although we are still not quite there yet …
We have featured a decent number of electric skateboards recently, for a very simple reason, they are incredibly cool and fun to use. Different companies make electric skateboards with different advantages, some are faster than others, some have longer riding ranges and increased stability, but some, like the Stary Electric Skateboard utilize new and improved technology …
If you have never experienced an electric skateboard, you are missing out on a lot. Back in the day, these babies weighed over 40 pounds, cost an arm and a leg and had a pitiful cruising range of only 5 miles. However, they have technologically advanced to the point that they now present a real …
Things have definitely changed since the days of Thrashin’. Now there are electric skateboards and ZBoard Pro is one of them. It senses your weight and as you lean forward, it goes, as you lean back it stops. As all electrical “appliances” it has to be charged from time to time. For that purpose you …

But before we introduce our longboard of choice today and for all you longboard ‘virgins’ out there, allow us to explain the difference between a skateboard and a longboard. The latter, as the name suggests, are longer than the typical skateboard, and while …
Because the skateboard culture is a pretty big deal, it’s no wonder that we are experiencing an arrival of electric powered skateboards which aren’t actually suited for skate parks but for covering a mid range distance in a short amount of time, despite the fact that they have to be built sturdy. One such skateboard …
Cutting back on commuting time is probably a wish that every person has. Spending long hours on a subway, a bus or in a car doesn’t sound particularly appealing. Using a bicycle to get around is all right, but what if you live in a densely populated urban area with cars wherever you turn, bicycles …
If you are a fan of the Segway, then you will flip out after taking one look at the Oxboard. The Oxboard uses similar gyroscope technology seen in the Segway but it abandons the armrest and lets you use it solely through shifting your body. As it is much smaller in size and without the …
The Sidewinding Circular Skates are unlike other skateboards or skates for that matter. Using two independent wheels with platforms for your feet placed in each of them, you can move simply just by leaning to one side. Even though there are skateboards which have moved away from the “push to propel” idea by adding motors in …
If you are looking for the ultimate skateboard, look no further than the IO Hawk. Featured at the prestigious International CES 2015 in Las Vegas, IO Hawk is an innovative combination of a skateboard and Segway and it is fun and weird at the same time. This is also a self-balancing personal transporter which attracted …
