Personal transport devices really don’t come that much smaller than the Boom Borda motorized skate board from a UK based company going by the name of Rokit Science - well at least not unless you strap a Fiat Panda to each foot, but who wants to be seen doing that?
Powered by a 400 Watt electric motor and capable of running up to fifteen miles on a single charge of its on board batteries, the Boom Borda, which comes with ABS style brakes, is controlled by a pistol grip type hand controller that could see you propelled along the pavement at up to 25mph – if you can keep your balance that long.
