Talk about fast, this Hawaiin longboarder is gutsy. He goes 35-45mph on a straight road while riding an electric longboard barefooted.

Tribred: Electric Trikke
Posted by – March 16, 2009
The Trikke is a pretty sweet cross between a scooter and skates.
While the methods of propelling it are a bit tricky for me to describe, it doesn't look very hard to use, and you can get going fairly fast.
Now that they have released the Tribred and the E-Kit it it is even easier to get around faster.
The Tribred is a Trikke with a little added bonus. You can propel it yourself, with the electric motor, or you can do both.
The E-Kit is for current Trikke owners who want to make theirs electric. The Tribred and Trikkes with the E-Kit installed can go up to 17 mph for up to 12 miles.

- Tire Width: 8in
- Max Speed: 12.5 mph

MotoXBoard Road Trip
Posted by – February 24, 2009
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.

Electric Skateboards as an Alternative Transportation Solution
Posted by – September 13, 2008
SkateElectric 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
Posted by – August 4, 2008
There 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
Posted by – June 30, 2008
It'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
Posted by – June 24, 2008
Electric 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.
