Skateboard

The new Eon from Unlimited might just be the most seamless aftermarket electric skateboard drive yet. It not only electrifies various shapes and sizes of board, it lets you choose between one or two battery packs and motors to get the perfect blend of range, power and capability.

Rugged, all-terrain electric skateboards like the Dominator Pro and Gnarboard had better watch their backs. The Triborg Skateboard is about to hit the dirt and street. This funky aluminum block features a dirt bike-inspired three-wheel design with plenty of power.

The Slovenian-designed C1N electric longboard offers a very solid mix of speed and dual-battery range, promising a super-fun but practical ride on the streets.

A new aftermarket electric drive called the Sk8-Booster could help attract potential e-skaters scared off by the cons of full-blown electric boards, giving them the fun and mobility of electric power with less fuss.

Sudden stops can send skateboarders flying forward. That's why Streetboardz created the Boarder Kontrol Skateboard. Not only does it have rear brakes, but they're activated by a leash that keeps the rider in place on the deck.​

The Trideck is a three-wheeled longboard-style skateboard with pneumatic tires and a built-in brake. A detachable handlebar can turn it into a skating scooter for added stability. The first prototype of the Trideck was built in a garage and has since seen refinement to become production-ready.

The Quinny Longboardstroller is a baby stroller with a difference. It's actually a bare-bones baby stroller bolted onto the front of a longboard. So, parents can now skateboard with their kid, quite literally.

At first glance, it's certainly possible to think that the Gauswheel Spirit is sort of a low-rider unicycle, or that it has a motor. In fact, though, it's an inline two-wheeler that's entirely human-powered. We recently had a chance to try it out for ourselves.

Earlier this year we heard about a multi-story skatepark set to take skaters to another level. A new skatepark in the Everton area of Liverpool, UK, however, is on another level itself. Designed by South Korean artist Koo Jeong A, Evertro is said to be the UK's first glow-in-the-dark skatepark.

Adding some new juice to the term "all-in-one quiver board," Colorado startup Seasons wants you to stop riding a different board every season​ –​ skateboard, snowboard, wakeboard –​ and start riding the same board

We may still be waiting for the first true hoverboards, but one firm says its single-wheeler feels so like hovering that it's actually called the Hoverboard. The board is mounted atop a 10-in wheel, with users leaning forward to accelerate and backwards to decelerate or change direction.

US company Ernest Packaging Solutions recently created a cardboard skateboard deck. The deck was put through its paces by pro-skating legend Tony Hawk.
