Move over grandpa. The LeviBoard ( a nifty electronic cruising device) just shook up the free world quickly outclassing the Segway. Weighing in at 26.4 lbs and zooming along the boardwalk at a top speed of 12 MPH, kids and adults alike can enjoy up to three hours of uninterrupted fun on a single charge. If you looking for a great upgrade from your high school edition skateboard but not quite happy to commit to looking like a mall cop (sorry Segway) then the LeviBoard is the answer.
What you notice first about the LeviBoard is its lack of handlebars and its rear facing safety lights (totally bad-ass). With some gentle foot pressure and intuitive body movement for direction, you can make this amazing skateboard-on-steroids go in just about any direction you wish. With a learning curve of about five minutes flat you and the kids will be fighting about who goes next and why you don’t just sell the family minivan and invest in a fleet of them. I for one totally love the feeling of almost floating on air and as if guided by my own mind quickly navigating the pedestrians enjoying a mid-day stroll. I experienced more than my usual share of head turns and outright staring. It is totally amazing how such a small device can go so fast but more importantly respond at a moment’s notice to the position and direction your body is facing.
A great idea is to ditch the weekly family movie night and head down to the boardwalk and make a day out of it. It is quite exciting watching kids quickly learn how to balance on this 22x7x7 inch board. What an absolute pleasurable experience too it is watching mom and dad learn to balance on it and figure out how to navigate it. Although balance is key it is unbelievable how simple it is to glide along, lean forward and you heading in that direction, lean backwards and you quickly reduce speed and head in the opposite direction.
The LeviBoard is able to carry a maximum load 300 lbs and its lithium-ion battery is basically the cousin of the one you have in your iPhone. The initial selling price is $850 and comes in red, yellow, black or white, get yours today online at leviboard.io. The only question you will have is what to do with the remote (included).
