    I like the idea. I'm interesting in having a go, especially to see what the regenerative braking is like when going downhill...

    • Regenerative braking is an issue if you build your own and brake on a full battery. Poof no brakes!err

    Anyone on QBN rocking an electric skateboard or know someone who does?

    There's a good few out there in the market now and have been some crowdfunded too.

    My work commute has lots of up and downhills for a conventional skateboard - I could easily wear out a pair of shoes out in a week by breaking going downhills. These new electric boards have regenerative braking and won't freewheel down a hill meaning you can control the speed and at the same time it's recharging it's own batteries!
