'The Commute on an electric skateboard'..

Skate Electric -' the commute' with the electric skateboard where I had a 'meeting' with David Cameron @ The Houses of Parliament... This was shot recently from Notting Hill to Westminster (5 miles) all on a wireless electric skateboard. and took 23 minutes!! This is quicker than a car, tube and bus - zero emissions, alternative way to get to the office!!!

Just bought me an electric skateboard... Woo! Hopefully me preferred method of transportation between Charing Cross and Warren St. after I jump off the train. Aleshamahon - they have an in-built antilock brake (although stopping distance can still be a couple of metres depending on how fast you're going).

Hmmm... I want one now.

@FreeSmileysHere I probably will.

[MrCassanova08]

iv got the 8ball cruiser 2. it is SO fun! AND so practical for getting around town. so much quicker than walking or getting the bus. I had doubts when ordering, but its one of the best things iv ever blown money on. weight is the only downside, but im getting used to that. some people say longboards, or electric boards aren't real skateboards cos you can't do tricks, but they are two different things, meeting two different requirements, these get you somewhere, and quick!

@XLRO8 it was an amazon job - but that was a year ago now! Since then the battery has given up on me, although they're only meant to last about a year. It served me well though, and saved me a lot of bus fares. I'm checking out new models now, but may wait until spring to buy another one - I won't get too much use of it over winter.

@AceOfPies were did you buy one?

[Doobysnacker100]
