Urban Surfer

No more kicking on that skateboard to get you around! Try the new environmental and pocketbook friendly transportation.

Err.. yeah. Whatever. Yet another electric skateboard enters the market. Taking design cues from it’s gasoline powered brethren, the Urban Surfer has an ugly wad stuck on the tail of an otherwise stock looking mountain board. $1200 Australina or about $700 USD. If you are going to go electric you stand less of a chance looking like a dork on one of these. USurfer might have better endurance though. Someone over at Gizmodo.com used to skate. They like to cover this stuff now and then with the familiar air of “I used to skateboard as a teenager until I fell off and broke my arm.”
