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!

Bethel is even cooler than expected

Within 90 minutes of landing in Redding, I learned of Bethel students engaged in business solutions to extreme poverty. Monday I heard a powerful teaching from Bill Johnson on how life on Earth offers us the only chance to worship God in the midst of our pain, suffering, loss, and confusion.  When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift.  Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.  Suffering creeps me out but I can not deny that suffering somehow leads to intimacy with Christ. Monday night gave me a few a hours to meet a great house church where blue collar types mingled with Bethel alum. Prophecy and healing flowed amidst their faith and love.  God gave me a chance to pray for healing for one of the guys. This tested my faith when his knee actually got a little worse in the first couple of minutes of prayer. That hurt my pride.  Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely.  V...
