The EasyGlider: Providing Fun Transportation

Posted by – June 15, 2008


Segways 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

Posted by – May 1, 2008


I'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

Posted by – April 17, 2008


Here'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.
