# Glove-Controlled Electric Surfboards The J-Force eBoard is Controlled By a Wearable Glove By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-09-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eboard References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/j-force-eboard-electric-surfboard/39569/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/jforceewc) The J-Force eBoard is an electric-propelled board that was unsurprisingly created in the country that's possibly the most obsessed with electric surfboards, Germany. This fantastic board is capable of hitting speeds of 55 km/h in the open water. One of the coolest features of the eBoard is the fact that users control it using a wearable glove rather than the usual handheld controller. This innovatively designed board is powered by a 15-horsepower electric two-jet drive that propels the rider forward across the water at speeds greater than that of the Lampuga, which once held the title of world's fastest electric surfboard. However the J-Force eBoard's coolest feature is certainly its wearable controller. We've seen a lot of interesting applications for [wearable controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boardrop) but its use on an electric surfboard is certainly one of the coolest. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric-propelled Boards:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop more advanced and powerful electric propulsion systems for boards to enhance speed and performance. - **Wearable Controllers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of wearable controllers in various industries to improve user experience and control. - **Fastest Electric Surfboards:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Push the boundaries of electric surfboard speed by developing even faster and more efficient electric propulsion systems. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Water Sports:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate new products and technologies in the water sports industry by incorporating electric propulsion systems and wearable controllers. - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply wearable controller technology to various industries such as gaming, fitness, and virtual reality for improved user interaction. - **Alternative Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Further develop electric propulsion systems for alternative transportation methods, including electric bikes, scooters, and skateboards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Powered Hyper-Speed Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xsport-jetboard.md) - [Electric Performance Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hydrofoil-board.md) - [Handlebar-Toting Hydrofoil Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoil-board.md) - [Sleek Electric Hydrofoil Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-vinga.md) - [Electric Motorized Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-electric-surfboard.md) - [Handheld Hydrofoil Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-foils-elite.md) - [Modular Electric Surfboard Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyclemate-electric-surfboard.md) - [Carbon Fiber Electric Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-option-tko-001.md) - [Sensational Electronic Surfboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetone.md)
