Better than a Segway!

I recently purchase a Powerboard from E-Glide. These things are incredible!

Here’s the lowdown:

• It’s 1/10th the price of a Segway. About the same as the sales tax on a Segway!
• It’s faster than a Segway. Segway = 12.5mph vs. Powerboard = 20mph
• Smaller and lighter than a Segway.
• More fun than a Segway.
• The coolness factor is way higher than a Segway!

These boards are made in Santa Monica, CA only a few miles from Cocoatech headquarters. The owner is very cool and is very responsive to customer suggestions.

I’ve been using mine daily to go out to lunch, to get to the local skatepark or to ride down to Venice beach. I hate driving, and don’t really like walking, so this has really improved my day to day life.

It’s made me a big believer in personal transportation, and I think the Segway is an incredible product. This is a great cheaper and more fun alternative. The only downside is you will need some basic skateboarding skills to be able to stand on it. I haven’t had any accidents yet, but hitting a big pothole going 20mph might not be so fun.
