Wheeled vehicles all have one common enemy: upward slopes. Unpowered vehicles, anyway. Introducing Boosted Boards, the lightest electric longboard (or vehicle, for that matter) ever made, weighing in at a paltry 12 pounds (just 4 pounds more than a regular longboard). Each board is powered by two tiny brushless motors churning out a total of 2.6 horsepower, fuelled by a rechargeable lithium ion battery for up to 6 miles, and controlled by a wireless handheld remote. Regenerative breaking is another big plus, slowing you down on those terrifying downhills. And if you find yourself out of juice, no big deal – just push.
