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.

Looking like it was cut from the side of a plastic milk crate, the Gridboard features skeletal carbon fiber construction meant to save weight and add distinct ride characteristics. Its sister product, the ePaddle motorized land paddle, helps any rider accelerate to high speeds.
