Many people are now choosing to move on giroskuterah, Monokolosah and elektroskeytah. It's easy, fast and fun. But all these forms of transport is a major drawback: when the battery charge runs out, they become virtually useless. And you have to carry their dead weight in your hand or in a bag.
Industrial designer from South Korea Lim Jae Hyuk has solved this problem by developing a prototype electric skateboard for Nike. The device was called the Nike Cruiser Board.
The idea is very simple: when you do not need a skateboard, you remove it in a special backpack Cruiser, where the backup batteries are located. While the board is not in use, it is constantly recharged. Thus, skate backpack will always be ready to use.
Nike Cruiser Board is controlled by special sensors that evaluate your position and tilt while driving. Board turns to the right and left, is accelerated and decelerated in response to movement of the center of gravity.
Skate is equipped with obstacle detection system and automatically slows when on his way there a barrier. In addition, the front of it is a lantern, the illumination path.
It is expected that the device will be available in white, black and gray colors, complete with monotonous stylish backpack Cruiser. Learn about the prototype much as possible here.
