Having ridden an electric skateboard a fair amount, I am excited for Boosted's play. They seem to have good solutions to two of my main gripes, which are weight (crucial for turning on the spot) and weight distribution (most boards have the battery pack in the middle where it gets in the way if you want to climb a curb). The battery pack still looks bulky, though. One thing I am missing is the ability to disengage the electric motor from the wheels - as it is, you can't just free roll on the board if you want to save power or the battery is depleted; the motor is engaged to the wheels at all times. I guess it is a difficult problem since no boards seem to be able to do this. (By the way, I used to ride five-six kilometers through downtown Copenhagen to work, charge at the office and do the same trip back at the end of the day.)
