Electric Skateboard Knows No Tricks but Does 19 MPH

Tweet

Back in the day I was one of those kids interested in getting all those tricks you see on TV out of my skateboard. While I didn’t become the next Tony Hawk, I certainly enjoyed riding it. I don’t know if I’d get on such a beast right now but if you offered me one of these electric skateboards that I’m about to show you, then I’m going to be back in the game.

I’d definitely want to be on top of one of those Hammacher Schlemmer’s electric-powered skateboards. The best thing about it is that you won’t have to move a muscle. Simply get your gear in order, mount the beast and go strolling on the streets. The winter is coming but for those of you that aren’t going to be harassed by snow and drizzle, you should really consider such a machine.

It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s electric and… it’s also dangerous. But we all have to “diem” that “carpe” once in a while, so get crazy! Get yourself a Hammacher Schlemmer electric skateboard. It can get you a top speed of 19 mph in around three seconds. The 36-volt battery powers a 600-watt engine which can be enough for driving a 240-pound person “over smooth terrain” and “even uphill.” The battery needs 4 hours to recharge and it will be good for 10 miles.

I covered the fun, I covered the fast and electric. Which brings me to the dangerous! Make no mistake, falling at 19 mph from a blazing fast skateboard is not an easy thing to do. Sure the skate comes with features like classic longboard with kick tail and 4-inch diameter solid urethane wheels, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fall off it. Make sure you have at least your helmet on when riding it.

The skateboard comes with a trigger remote that will let you accelerate and brake, and at this point I wouldn’t even be interested in anymore tricks. The skateboard costs $599.95 and it’s available for immediate shipping.
