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!

Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
