# Foldable Electric Skateboards The 'Moboster' is a Safe Alternative to Hoverboards By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-23 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moboster References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/moboster-safest-ev-ride-you-won-t-fall-off-from) & [moboster](http://www.moboster.com/) Though the vehicle that the Moboster most closely resembles is an [electric skateboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mach-one-electric-skateboard), the [foldable electric rideable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kqi-100f) is safer, more convenient and easier to use than most other vehicles available. The system doesn't require users to shift their balance while riding, making it easier to control and move around in tricky areas. The Moboster is controlled via specially designed [Bluetooth remote control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rideable-aipowered-personal-assistant) (rather than through shifting one's weight or pushing.) This makes the learning curve for picking up the device significantly quicker than with other systems. The system also has a precision GPS device for automatic course plotting. Beyond use as a skateboard-like vehicle, the Moboster comes with an attachment socket that allows it to be used as a seat, a camera stabilizer, a board for carrying cargo, or even a miniature go-kart. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Foldable Electric Rideables:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop foldable electric rideables with easy control and convenience. - **Bluetooth Remote Control:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design Bluetooth remote controls for easier control of rideable devices. - **Multi-functional Rideable Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create rideable devices with attachment sockets for versatile functionalities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advancements in personal mobility devices such as electric rideables. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the consumer electronics industry by developing advanced control systems for rideable devices. - **Logistics and Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement rideable devices with cargo-carrying capabilities to enhance logistics and transportation processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Multifunctional Personal Mobility Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modi.md) - [Highly Portable Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zetazs-knight-pro.md) - [Electric Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards.md) - [Dual-Posture Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-escooter.md) - [Intuitive Remote-Free Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-skateboard.md) - [Senior-Supporting Mobility Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-skateboard.md)
