Quoted from rlslick:Was a big on skateboarding when I was young. 43 now, two kids...I've converted to long boarding with the help of lithium batteries to get me around... LOL
Hit speeds of 20 MPH and go as far as 10-12 miles on a single charge. It's pretty bad ass!

man, I've wanted one of these since I first saw it.
I was one of those kids in the cornfields oogling over Skateboarder magazine back in the '70s. I about cried during Dogtown and Z boys (Not so much during "Lords of Dogtown") , it brought back so many memories of homemade boards with steel wheels, my first "real" board a Gordon and Smith Stacey Peralta Warptail 2 and sneaking into the only backyard pool we knew of and failing miserably trying to ride it.
I still pull out my old Fogtown stick and garner a few stares at the guy that looks like a cop on a board from the kids on campus with their longboards and overpriced "Penny" skates.
