You can't even do any tricks on it. All you can do is just ride it around.
What is the point of having an electric skateboard? Is it really that hard to push your foot off the ground once in a while? Is that effort worth $1000 to you?
To be honest its not even really like a skateboard, its more suitable to consider it more like a long board even though its a bit shorter. Consider this I suppose, my wife long boards and goes out randomly and will ride for 3 or 4 hours just to give me a call to come pick her up because she may be tired or time doesn't allow for her to push back. 20 MPH for 16-18 miles on a small motor isnt too bad.
Seeing this as an option would alleviate that. I dont see the price as being fair and think that the trucks should be sold separate for those who have their own boards. There is already other options like this for about 300-400 for a truck set with roughly the same speed and battery time.
And I assume you didnt read the part about a battery and what not, yada yada. Its not meant to be a push replacement.
"The brushless design allows for more natural coasting, allowing you to push the ZBoard when the battery expires or is turned off."
I am also not sure if you have kids or not, but let me say one more thing, it doesn't matter how stupid, ugly or impracticable something may be, they want it. They want so badly to be different from their friends or have something no one else has or that one thing that everyone has but what they have is better. Its always a shit show. If it gets them out of the house, I am usually on board to buy it.
Thanks for sharing.
