Compact Electric Skateboards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The I-Ride Electric Skateboard Weighs Just 15 Pounds

— August 25, 2017 — Lifestyle
The I-Ride electric skateboard offers commuters a speedy form of transportation that's compact enough to fit inside a backpack.

Both lightweight and small in stature, the I-Ride is the perfect commuting accessory. Users can choose to walk, subway or drive, while maintaining the option to hop onto the board to pass through a heavily trafficked area. The unique design provides optimized user-friendliness, allowing the board to be ridden by a wider demographic than most. Once on the board, individuals can use a remote control to accelerate and steer. This small alteration in control makes it easier for newer riders to maneuver through city streets safely.

Once they've arrived at a destination, users simply pack the 15-pound device into a backpack.
