Electric skateboards are becoming popular for people who want to use a skateboard as a means for commuting and traveling longer distances, and the 'Miles Dual' is a new board that takes consumers even farther. The board comes with two motors for added speed and power, but it's still sleek and small enough to not be overly cumbersome at the end of one's trip.
The Mile Dual comes with a 36 volt lithium ion battery. That gives it a range of 7 to 15 miles, and with a top speed of 22 miles per hour, that range is pretty quickly covered. The board also charges in just one to two hours, so it's convenient to use on a daily basis.
