With 28 days to go the Stanford guys behind Boosted Boards have already reached its $100,000 Kickstarter fundraising effort for their electric longboard They are calling this rig “the most practical longboard ever.”
That’s because in addition to being an amazing ride, it’s also the perfect last-mile vehicle. When it comes to short trips, you can finally stop worrying about parking, traffic, garages, gas stations, pedaling, bike locks, pushing, and hills. Run quick errands, commute to work, get around campus, or link up with public transit, up to 6 miles before recharging. But most importantly, you’ll enjoy the ride everyday.
