Electric skateboards?
- Thread starter Duffy LaCoronilla
- Start date
I spent 4 years working for a company that made electric skateboards with hub motors. It was a unit you could mount in place of any rear truck with RKP geometry. Pretty awesome engineering, but the initial stoke wore out after a year or so. Bikes are more convenient for commuting (a lot safer too), and regular skateboards / longboards more fun for shredding. Plus anything electronic will fail you at some point. Most of our customers were male, >40 y/o and had more of a silicone valley than a surf/skate vibe to them
I was at the local skate park with my boy one evening and a grom rode his skateboard out of the park onto the footpath. There was a wall up to the footpath so the kid shouldn't have ridden it out there as he couldn't see what was coming along the footpath. Guy on a one wheel happened to be wizzing past at the same time and collected the kid.
Full yard sale collision. The guy's one wheel had bits and pieces of it strewn all over the place. Luckily neither of them were really hurt. Mad to watch it happen though.

Oh wait, I get the post now, it's pride month
I have an e-scooter now so I’m not above looking stupid.
Im thinking skateboard because it translates to surfing better.
Yeah, those things are pretty cool. I tried one with suspension and goes 40+mph.
With my propensity to push the limits I quickly decided that a unicycle would be the death of me.
Well that certainly escalated. Also, I’m not sure stupid is the correct adjective here.
I'm not sure how this is related but it kind of is
some kids in my neighborhood have this attachment. perhaps suitable for the geriatric as well.
I see those guys in the full catchers shinguards. This is why.
Street pizza!
Gay. The word your looking for is “gay”.
