Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Leafboard' Skateboard Travels Up to 11-Miles on One Charge

Powered skateboards are quickly becoming a modern way to get around urban locations, and the 'Leafboard' is certainly an exceptional example.

Currently funding on Kickstarter, the 'Leafboard' features a compact design that weighs just 9.7-pounds and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 19mph. This makes it an ideal option for commuter purposes as either a standalone way to get to the office or an alternative way to get from the train station to your final destination.

The 'Leafboard' powered skateboard is lightweight and compact in design, and will provide up to 11-miles on one charge. It acts as a portable charger for your smartphone, features a water-resistant design and can even be recharged in just 70-minutes to get users riding again as soon as possible.
