The "Tesla" of the smart health connected skateboard. This is Spectra's presentation by the American media. It is electric like many models already on the market. But its innovation is far from stopping there. Its compact and elegant design houses indeed an artificial intelligence able to anticipate your movements by studying your behavior. This use of "machine-learning", which can surprise for a skateboard, actually allows to control it without remote control or smartphone, simply based on the movements of your body. Technology thus allows a kind of homecoming that should certainly convince skateboard fans. Count a speed of up to 25 km / h for 20 kilometers of autonomy.

If Spectra interests you, the operation continues until June 8. You will need to pay 299 dollars for the basic version. Count between $ 539 and $ 1199 for the most advanced versions. A specific bag to carry it and a 15-inch Mac is available for $ 79. Deliveries are scheduled from October 2017.

32 km / h top speed. What to move very quickly in the city. Here is the promise of the Marbel skateboard board. Designed in Kevlar and carbon fiber, it is designed for urban transport, especially those saturated by traffic. With its range of 16 km / h, it should allow you to get health home from work without problems and even come back without too much trouble. You can control everything from the application (direction, speed), share your rides with other users and discover how to improve your route.

Fare level, count from 1299 to 1599 dollars depending on whether you prefer the option "Single Drive" or "Twin Drive". Although the project is interesting on paper, we advise you however caution. According to the comments, present on the Kickstarter project page, the company has not yet sent any models ordered since 2014 while she just announced her model 2.0. Better to wait for the moment to see how will resolve the situation before investing.

Bolt is the ultimate means of transportation. At least that's what his creators suggest. In the description of the Indiegogo campaign launched in 2015, they explain to what needs meets Bolt. Save time, ideal for the last mile, no problem parking and no energy expenditure. This smart and smart health connected skateboard is 60 centimeters long and 25 wide for a weight of 4 kgs. To use it, you have to launch the application on your smartphone (iOS and Android). It is from this one that one directs Bolt but also that one has access to statistics of use. The remote control alternative is available if you do not have your phone with you. The top speed of the machine is 29 km / h and LEDs can ensure your visibility at night. The range is 10 km and its battery is recharged in 90 minutes.

The operation on Indiegogo was a success but the team seems to have a hard time managing the demand. Some of the backers still have not received their smart health connected skateboard. At present, it seems no longer possible to pre-order. You will have to wait!

Inboard M1: The innovative longboard

Inboard M1 Electric Skateboard

The Inboard Longboard M1 is a gem of technology. The object is equipped with in-wheel motors, integrated LEDs, a splash-proof exterior and an interchangeable battery. This allows you to travel 12 kilometers continuously before having to charge the device 90 minutes. The M1 also allows itself the luxury of having a superb design. The black of the board is attractive and the finishes of the product are excellent. One really has the impression of being in possession of a futuristic object that manages to remain purified externally. For its size of 94x26cm, the longboard remains rather light with its weight of 6.5 kg. Its transport is facilitated by the cover provided with the product.

In terms of performance, the M1 Inboard is not left out. It allows a peak of 35 km / h in advanced mode. Its beginner mode is set to a speed of 8 km / h and the intermediate mode to 22 km / h. The machine emits a real feeling of power by its performance, but also by its size. The latter is sometimes a little too cumbersome in narrow places and we feel that a little lightness has been sacrificed in favor of stability. In addition to the Bluetooth remote control, the Inboard Vision app also allows you to control the M1 Inboard. The main defect of the product is its price, high, even for longboard. However, if you are ready to spend € 1300 for the M1 Inboard, it is almost certain that you will not be disappointed.
