Avid followers of skateboard innovation will be well aware of the 'Razor RipStip' skateboard that is designed to help riders mimic snowboard-style moves on gravel. but a brand new product dubbed the 'Velocity Etch' now furthers that innovation by adapting and applying it to the electric longboard format.
Developed by none other than Utah-based skateboarders Kevin Ravenberg, the 'Velocity Etch' is an electric longboard offers a range of handy features that include a pair of remote-controlled electric motors that offer 1500 watts of power each, and can work together to enable riders to zip around at speeds of up to 39 km/h. As far as battery life is concerned, the lithium battery embedded into this particular electric longboard offers a range of up to 24 km for a hypothetical rider who weighs 82 kg.
Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, this electric longboard can be procured for a pledge of $959, and represents a fine investment for anyone who wants a board that combines stability, speed and style.
