Electric skateboards: The future of rideables – Top Shelf

While they might not exactly be the real life Marty McFly, these electric skateboards are about as close as a daily commute comes to the futuristic movie.

When this longboard innovator added a couple of extra wheels and a motor to a traditional board, he came up with a piece that could prove to be useful in an urban commute.

Imagine riding to work on a skateboard without having to put in any effort. You could probably get there twice as fast as well as this board manages to get up to 20mph.

Check out the crazy creation in the video below that looks a lot like the future of transportation. Do you think that motorized skateboards will ever become mainstream?

Thanks to Lexus, hoverboarding is now possible in limited areas!
