An American tech startup is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo for an electronic skateboard called the 'ACTON BLINK' that is made for modern commuting. With a growing number of consumers looking for cheaper and more eco-conscious modes of transportation this suped-up longboard could be a viable option.
The ACTON BLINK is an electronic skateboard that features advanced technology in every element of its design. Unlike other eboards that use analog decks, the ACTON BLINK is made of space-age materials that respond to the user's movements just like a sportscar. The longboard is also capable of travelling 22 miles per charge and handling hills with ease thanks to its advanced hub motors and its powerful four-wheel drive.
With three different models for everyday needs, the ACTON BLINK is the ideal choice for commuting.
