Electric Skateboards Are Both Fun And Practical

August 24th, 2010 Troy Baxter No comments

An electric skateboard is a fun method of transportation. It can get you where you want to go faster than walking, and can even help you get up those hills faster.

Having a motor doesnt mean you still cant kick the board along. Many boards let you kick the electric skateboard when you want to save the battery, or when you are just feeling like you want to get some exercise.

Electric skateboards are loads of fun. Who says going to school, to your next class, to your office, or wherever has to be boring. Why not jazz up your commute and zoom along on an electric skateboard? It definitely beats walking.

E-Glide is in the business of making high performance electric skateboards. At the time of this writing, they offer five different models. Their boards can go 0-20 mph in only four seconds. Beside the smaller and lighter DC-36 model they offer, the rest of their boards can go up to 12-15 miles per charge. The controller for the speed is connected by a cable. They do this because they claim wireless controllers are susceptible to interference.

If you would rather have a wireless controller, check out Exkates line up of electric skateboards. There top models can go up to 19-20 mph. If you want an electric skateboard that can handle rougher terrain, they even have a model fitted with knobby tires.

Electric skateboards can be expensive, but they are not at all expensive to charge. When you compare the cost per mile of an electric skateboard versus the cost per mile of a gas burning vehicle, you would be amazed at how much less expensive electricity is!

Whether you are looking for an electric skateboard for transportation, fun, or both, E-Glide and Exkate offer a nice selection, all ranging in deck size and shape, maximum speed, weight, and range. Do your research and pick the right one for you, then hop on and enjoy the ride.
