Best Electric Skateboard 2017 - (May 2017)





I saw one of these going uphill in San Fran recently, and realized this was the future of urban commutes.  Before seeing this skateboard,  I was following the evolution of ebikes but here's why I think e-skateboards could dominate:

1. Bikes are horrible at rush-hour on the metro.  Skateboards are much easier to pop out of the way.

2. Using e-skateboard while wearing a skirt is probably easier than using an e-bike in a skirt.

3. If I'm too tired or too long distance, bringing a skateboard on my Lyft is far easier than my e-bike.



Hopefully these features exist on the e-skateboards:





  1. Regenerative braking.  I'd love for the board to cap the downhill speed at 20 mph and use gravity to recharge the battery.  
  2. Spectra seems to have the features I expect like controlling direction and speed with shifting weight.
  3. Boosted I think is the one that keeps the motor right in the wheel .... awesome clean design and likely the most efficient.  

Good job innovators!

Merry Christmas! Grandma is gonna love this....

As I wait semi-patiently for my visa to Brazil, watching myself slip into mediocrity once again, I decided to fast from movies, tv, and junk food until Christmas. It was a huge step in the right direction otherwise life was going to end up like this: I've been keeping myself busy with developing http://www.ywamva.org . Everything about their site looks the same as before but everything is now managed with blogger.com like my website. Stupid paypal donation button still isn't working, though. sigh.... I've also been doing some last minute video editing for them. I might upload it to Google Video, but I have to warn you, it's a 14 minute long inside joke mocking YWAM staff. I've concluded that acting is still more fun than editing films mainly because I'm not a walking database of catchy songs like most of my peers are. This whole fasting from media and jund food has mandated lots of creative alternatives for these cold dark nights.... like play with the new dog A...
