According to the manufacturers of Zap Powerski, this “thing” is:
Turning every road into […]

Just look at this so-called “Body-Cart“.
“It is an ergonomically designed, motorised, three-wheeled full-body skateboard capable of covering 70km on a single tank of fuel at speeds […]

Do you think motorboards will reign very soon and skateboards will just be a thing of the past?
This thought came to me when I read all about this new so-called “MotorBoard 2000XR: next generation electric scooter” article. I personally think that skateboards will still be around, of course, but with all these new developments […]
