Lightweight Electric Skateboards

The Bolt Electric Skateboard is the World's Smallest and Lightest

— April 9, 2015 — Autos
The Bolt is an electric skateboard, claimed to be the world's smallest and lightest, that differentiates itself from other electric skateboards by virtue of its compactness. Conceived by Italian Lorenzo Cella, who grew tired of an hour-and-a-half commute by foot to university each day, the Bolt grew out of a desire to create a portable urban transportation solution.

This electric skateboard is controlled by a hand-held remote control with a joystick that riders can use to accelerate and brake. It is powered by a 2,000 Watt motor that offers a top speed of 21 km/h. This battery delivers a range of 10 km and doesn't cost much to be charged -- a year's worth of recharging costs as little as $5.

This skateboard is ideal for people looking for a fun and portable urban transportation solution for medium to long distance commutes.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Electric Transportation - The desire for portable urban transportation solutions presents opportunities for creating compact electric vehicles.
2. Affordable Personal Electric Vehicles - The low cost of recharging presents opportunities for creating affordable personal electric vehicles.
3. Electric Skateboards - The trend of electric skateboards continues to evolve with new innovations in size, weight, and range.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Skateboard Manufacturing - Manufacturers can continue to improve upon the Bolt's design to create even smaller, lighter, and more affordable electric skateboards.
2. Personal Electric Transportation - Companies can capitalize on the trend of personal electric transportation by creating more compact and affordable solutions for urban commuters.
3. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure - The low cost of recharging electric skateboards presents opportunities for companies to create affordable, accessible charging infrastructure for personal electric vehicles.
