Riding these electric skateboards at the bowl...

Question by King of CNN: I am gonna wait until they are selling affordable plug in electric car, what about you?
Until then, I will stick to my skateboard and hang out with my buds at the mall. I hate gasoline. My mom told me all about this and we agree that electric cars that don't cost a lot is the way to go. Just around our neighborhood, it would be pefect. Gold carts are too slow but they will make something better. Not that crazy expensive electric batmobile by GM, the "volt." dumb idea, a 0,000 bummer. I don't want air conditioner or anything but basic transportation - cheap and no **** gas or corn alcohol. many stupid ideas for alternatives. electric makes sense. but affordable. bet lots of rental places will offer little electrics in all cities soon.

Don't count on electric cars becoming widespread soon. Environmentalists do not like the fact that in total, electric cars produce more CO2 and pollutants. That electricity is not free, it is generated locally by power stations, most often from coal-fired ones. And don't count on them being cheap either, manufacturers are going to want to recoup any money invested in the development of these cars. Differences in design will require differences in maintenance, and likely custom proprietary parts, which certainly won't be cheaper.

I'd bet pretty heavily too that they won't make bare bones models, being something technologically new, they'll probably deck them out with the latest in features to encourage buyers to purchase one, similar to how they did with hybrids.

From www.hardtofindseminars.com - If you're looking for an adrenaline rush that only speed, torque and power can give you, electric skateboarding is the perfect option. Taking a quick ride after work can be a better stress reliever than your wife's yoga, but you wont want to just dive right in and buy the first skateboard you come across. Like any investment, if you don't do a little research beforehand, you could end up with a cheap piece of junk thats not going to perform the way you want it to, or is just going to break down right away. So in this interview with the owner of E-glide you'll learn what to look for in an electric skateboard, the many options you have when choosing one, and how to make sure you're not going to get ripped off. Many electric skateboards come from China nowadays. Problem is, their assembly isn't checked using the same quality assurance standards as in other countries, and their staff is usually underpaid and under-trained. So you end up with cheap skateboards and lots of problems. And in this interview you'll hear about some of those problems, along with some safety issues to look out for. There's nothing more boring than a slow electric skateboard, and nothing more aggravating than one that breaks down right away.
