Weight-Sensing Electric Skateboards

The ZBoard 2 is a Splash-Proof Accessory for Short Trips

— January 7, 2015 — Lifestyle
The ZBoard 2 is a new and improved version of the world's first weight-sensing electric skateboard, the ZBoard. The improved model changes its speed according to a user's movements.

If wanting to move at walking speeds, users will lean slightly forward when on the board. When looking to accelerate, they will lean forward more sharply, ultimately enhancing their speed.

Intuitive Motion's ZBoard2 is designed for trips that are too long to walk but too short to drive. When compared to its first generation model, the new product boasts a lighter lithium battery that cuts charge time in half along with a splash-proof motor that doesn't stop avid skate fans from riding in rainy or damp weather conditions.
