Our modern lifestyles have made us so dependent on cars that even to shop at the local shopping center we need to get the car out and then crib about he traffic jams and over crowded parking lots. If only some sleek mode of transportation was available to take us through the great traffic mess. Remember those scooters that we used to ride as children and are visible in the by lanes even today. They made our rides filled with so much fun and adventure. Engineers at Swissbikeboard have done actually made an E-Bikeboard that looks like a child’s scooter in first look but is incredibly sleek, environmentally responsible and high on performance. Born out of the philosophy of Segway generation, it is a perfect combination of form, function and fun. The E- Bikeboard S500 is a light weight aluminum frame, attached to a strong and stable platform with three wheels with power disk brakes with front V brakes. Powered by two rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries, a smooth drive of up to 30 miles can be achieved with just one battery. With a maximum speed of 25 km/hour, the powerful front hub motor can also drive uphill on an incline of at least 12% with 120 kgs load. Built like a mountain bike with engine, the patented shock suspension system in the back ensures easy maneuverability on the most rugged terrain. The Swiss bike’s maneuverability is so swift that all the curves that are achieved on snow with boards are possible on streets. The features are quite lucrative but the best part is that this bikeboard is zero emission and is silent enough for it to be allowed inside. It does not require much maintenance and the recurring costs are quite low than a gas powered scooter. Available online and in stores for US $ 2498, this is an ultimate alternative transportation product for adventure, it can be used to enjoy outdoors, for local shopping or entertaining kids. Though it comes with a warning; Beware, it is highly addictive, you’ll keep looking for opportunities to glide. Thanks: Katie
