Developed for making it through the last leg of your journey without having to feel exhausted by the time you arrive there, the device works by having you simply step on and control it via a [hand-based controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mach-one-electric-skateboard). The 'Blizwheel' will provide up to an hour of battery life at a speed of 15mph, which makes it an ideal piece of equipment for getting you from the train station or your parking spot to the office in a jiffy.
