Motorized T-Board
By Action Isle • Mar 5th, 2009 • Category: MotorizedIt seems that with enough determination you can motorize anything. Below is a video of a homemade motorized t-board. The t-board made by Tierney Rides rides like a snowboard, and has just two wheels.

Off Road Segway – How Did I Miss This?
By Action Isle • Feb 28th, 2009 • Category: Motorized
I knew about Segways, but I never knew they had made an off-road version called the Segway x2.
The X2 is just like a normal Seqway except, you guessed it, it can go off-road on terrains such as gravel, dirt, grass, and even snow.
- Weight: 120 lbs
- Tire Width: 8in
- Max Speed: 12.5 mph
- Range: Up to 12 mi off-pavement

And just for kicks, here's a Chimpanzee riding on a Segway.

MotoXBoard Road Trip
By Action Isle • Feb 24th, 2009 • Category: Motorized
I'm a fan of innovation and when I first saw the MotoXboard I was instantly intrigued. I mean it takes the standard design of a motorized mountainboard and comes up with something entirely uniquely its own by placing a powered wheel in between the riders feet.
I've had experience with a cheapo (well not so cheap to me) junk motorized mountainboard that was bought on eBay. The thing was absolutely horrible, and it even tried to kill me (maybe I'll post about that later).
Anyway, it's nice to see something different come into the market and not the same old, mass-produced-in-China garbage.
Here's a video released a few months ago (I've been away for awhile) of the MotoXboard in action as their crew took a trip to Snowmass Village, CO.

Motorize ANY Kind of Board or Skates Instantly With the Skate Scepter
By Action Isle • Oct 9th, 2008 • Category: MotorizedWant to motorize your skateboard, mountainboard, longboard, inline skates, rollerskates or practically anything else that has wheels? All your unmotorized woes will be instantly solved with the Skate Scepter!
I have no clue where someone can buy one of these, or even if they still can. The SkateScepter.com website is down/gone, so not much news on this.
Electric Skateboards as an Alternative Transportation Solution
By Action Isle • Sep 13th, 2008 • Category: MotorizedSkateElectric not only sells awesome electric skateboards, but is pioneering what they call to be a "green, riders lifestyle movement."
"Skate Electric is a brand which is not just about embracing board riding culture. Its also about pushing for a greener world for us now and future generations to come. As renewable energy generated at wind and surf farms etc HAS to be a better option than a power station, Skate Electric will be partnering up with a renewable supplier as we want our customers to switch providers so your board can really become a GREEN MACHINE."
They invest 1% of every board sale in a renewable energy company, as their way of supporting a greener world.
This company is based in the UK, and while electric skateboards aren't currently legal for city use, the founder of Skate Electric says,
"Although, Skate Electric at the moment is promoting use of our boards on private land, I want to, as the founder of Skate Electric, make the electric skateboard road legal for city use. The Electric Bike is road legal in the UK and can run on the same power output.
The UK has an opportunity to embrace alternative transport solutions and give the Electric Skateboard the classification it needs so we can get London moving and out of their cars!!!!!!!"
Skate Electric currently offers 3 models of electric skateboards.

The Motorized Board Has Evolved | Introducing the MotoXBoard
By Action Isle • Aug 4th, 2008 • Category: MotorizedThere seems to have been little advancement in motorized mountainboards and off road boards over the past years. Their are many skeletons left over from motorized boards that have come and gone, and there are very few that have a solid foothold. With how things are currently in the motorized board world, you'll find many junky imported motorized mountainboards, and very few ones of quality. The choices are limited, and their are very few that stand out from the crowd.
The makers of the MotoXBoard are paving the way for a new breed of motorized off road boards. One that is both functional and fun. The MotoXBoard is the product of 15 years of tinkering. What sets this board apart from the rest is it's unique design. Most motorized off road boards have suspension and trucks like a mountainboard or skateboard, as well as a chain powered rear wheel. The MotoXBoard has a large powered wheel placed in the middle of the board, fully independent floater suspension, and a rear mounted handle bar. The rear handle bar provides extra balance support when things get rough, and is where the rider controls the throttle and braking.

Three Wheeled Electric Skateboard
By Action Isle • Jun 30th, 2008 • Category: Boards, MotorizedIt's called the Electric Scorpion and it is a three wheeled electric skateboard. Why three wheels? This electric skateboard has the one wheel in the front powered by the motor, making it more efficient than 4 wheeled electric skateboards that only have one wheel on one side powered by the motor. The front wheel has less friction, and with only one wheel in the front, the board can be lighter than most 4 wheeled electric skateboards.
The End of Heavy Electric Longboards
By Action Isle • Jun 24th, 2008 • Category: Boards, MotorizedElectric longboards have evolved. Many models of electric longboards are heavy and even awkward to carry. For people wanting to go for a quick run to the grocery store, a 50 lb electric longboard can be difficult to carry in with you. Electric longboards often aren't cheap, so most wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it outside.
If you want to buy an electric longboard to use for transportation purposes, the weight of the board would be something worth considering. A bulky 50 lb electric longboard wouldn't be the easiest thing to carry around when you aren't riding it.
Good news for those that are looking for a lighter electric longboard. The Metroboard is a lighter alternative to the other bulky 50 lb electric longboards. The Metroboard varies in price and weight according to the battery type you pick. The lightest electric longboard option weighs in at only 18 lbs.
Instead of having a handheld trigger control the longboard's speed and braking, the Metroboard uses something that is more like a small remote control. The Metroboard electric longboard can go 16 mph, and can go a distance of 4-12 miles, depending on the battery size you choose.

The EasyGlider: Providing Fun Transportation
By Action Isle • Jun 15th, 2008 • Category: MotorizedSegways may work well for personal transportation purposes, but they seem to lack a little in the "fun" department.
The easyglider is a versatile machine that you can have fun with, and use for transportation purposes. The motor of the easyglider is electric, and is capable of going 15 mph (20 kph).
To accelerate, the throttle on the easyglider is similar to a motorbike. Their is a handbrake on the handlebar for coming to a stop and slowing down, and even a bell to make other's aware of you passing them.
The two headlights in the front of the easyglider make night use fun, while the built in speakers that you can hook up your mp3 player to, allow you to travel to your favorite music.
The fun part about the easyglider is it's versatility. You can use it with inline skates, roller skates, skateboards, longboards, etc., the choice is yours. If none of those suit you, the easyglider comes with a removable char, which is a small chariot-like trailer that you can ride on.
When you are done riding, the easyglider can be folded so you can put it in a trunk, or carry it into a building.

Altered Electric Skateboard M4 800
By Action Isle • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Boards, MotorizedI've seen many electric skateboards before, but not many have off road tires like this electric skateboard made by Exkate.
The Altered M4 800 has the power and durability needed to go on or off road. The pneumatic tires make it able to handle rough terrain. No need to worry about rocks or sticks in the way of your wheels with this board.
With the wireless handheld accelerator and brake the rider can easily control their speed or accelerate up to an impressive 20mph. Not too many electric skateboards with off-road tires can say that.

Off Road 800 Watt Electric Skateboard Video
By Action Isle • Apr 17th, 2008 • Category: Boards, MotorizedHere's a pretty sweet video of a guy riding his 800 watt off-road electric skateboard on some trails. Not sure what brand of electric skateboard it is in the video, but both the UM70sx and the m4 800 are 800 watt electric skateboards with off-road tires.
