Now flip it.

Hey McFly, you bojo! Those boards don't work on water unless you've got POWER!
ThatNoPicklePeeThatNoPumpARum
Why thou
Ant4N
Just get a motorized longboard with tires. Or a bike.
dezertpunk35
When you want to shreds at 4 but have to flush Germans out of the trenches at 5.
abeardedblacksmith
"crawler belts"? They're called treads
HerpNDerpington
Did they not know about mountainboards?
JustHereForTheRiots
LetMeGoogleThatShtForYou
Here we see an old artifact that dates to the early stages of WWI, both the British and German forces used to cross no-mans-land trick2G
thetoshjosh
Or you could just ride a bike and go faster than jogging Speed ?
ObliqueRay
Murrican skateboard.

"Neat, but the rolling resistance on that would be insane... oh its motorized."

It only reaches 10mph? How boring
OldTimeyPaperCompanyTycoons
This is cool as fuck. Who cares if it doesn't last long or if friction buildup cause it to heat up, it's a good start.

Now, if we can just get the weight down...
ThisIsNotCommunistPropaganda
Although not the accepted skateboard we have today, an apparatus similar to a skateboard existed as early as 1904
SirSkellingtonBonerLord
Ah yes, the Rolly Poly Planky Go-ey
BakePretzels
There was another skateboard like apparatus called the "television" from somewhere in the late 1700s.
batlrar
I thought it was invented by Calvin Klein in 1955.

"You Make It We Skate It" submission? I'd like to see Fetty nose slide it.
technobass
Someday we will have the hover boards from Back to the Future
frobnicat
Reminds me of skateboard from "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson.
HellFireGrunt
Since it's made for just riding and not tricks, would a longboard be better?
HellFireGrunt
Like. A longboard with treads
UnbelievableUsername
It's Electric, boogie woogie woogie!
RadioactiveCanuck
Transitional Tankboarding would be fucking awesome.
DeusExSpockina
YT?
Shirtless
put it on a longboard next time dumbasss. noones gonna be kickflippin that thing anywho
SeRaQt
Traction with some friction.
Moonhoof
Now show a longer clip of it running on a flat surface without the user having to push it constantly.
shhep
Nah, just show a clip of it running on "snow, waterclogged areas and gravel roads". Because this shit is not cut our for that.
MrDustey
If you look closely, you can see it's electric, and he's holding the remote in his right hand
Moonhoof
Did not spot that. Thought it was a gopro or something.
voiceafx
Not a lot of space for a battery. Probably doesn't last long.
MrDustey
Proof of concept i'd assume, and since he already has wires for hte remote he could make it a wearable battery anyways
kgbofficer
60 minutes according to their website http://cuborex.com/cuboard/ (it's in Japanese)
NotThatJoeYouKnow
tracks have definite shortcomings over wheels mostly involving more friction
heril
Friction itself is not a shortcoming, but can cause the loss of features otherwise desired in skateboards.
trainsrule
But as it says in the wkrd of the gif, its not for those tine but when thats not an option.
mitchrz
Battery life/energy usage is a lot compared to just using wheels.
CaptGunpowder
"Hey!" *places finger on lips* "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" *leans in reaaaallly close, whispers*: "Tank skateboard. Just go with it."
TheAmbiguityShows
wartoaster
Hence the faact that it's powered
NotThatJoeYouKnow
you still have to deal with the heat buildup
asm80dfa8sdfj
Drive through water
houtaku
Air cooled.
tex81024
A normal boosted board (which I'm assuming this is based on) only has an 18 mile range, even with the same range it'd be dead before heat(1)
tex81024
Buildup ever became an issue
bigbrother
it's also moving so I'm sure there's a little cooling. I've discovered a little goes a long way.
