Now I know what you guys are thinking, this is just an ordinary skateboard, but I would have to correct you because this skateboard is unlike any other conventional skateboard… this is ELECTRIC!

Attatched to the Skatemaster FT1 is a powerful motor with a cordless transmitter to accurately control your speed. Say goodbye to the days when you need to push your skateboard with one leg to get speed, now it’s simple with one touch of a button, and you’re off! The concept of skateboarding is still basically the same in terms of that you steer by leaning to either side of the board, however, because the motor speed is controlled by your hand, you can spend more time on practicing the direction in which you’re going. With a top speed of 11mph and a battery life of 7 miles, this gadget is great fun, especially if you are new to skateboarding. The skatemaster FT1 is available at reputable online stores for about £120.
