Too Cool For A Segway? Try a Powerboard!

E-Glide Powerboard

If you are one of those people who is lazy enough for a Segway, but you have a rep to maintain, you might be interested in the Powerboard from E-Glide.

Here are some crucial stats:

  • The Powerboard goes from 0-20 mph in 4 seconds. A Segway’s top speed is 12.5 mph.
  • The Powerboard has a 12-15 mile range
  • The Powerboard costs between $400-500. That’s about 1/10 the price of a Segway.
  • A Powerboard is roughly 1/8 as geeky as owning a Segway.

Intriguing? Certainly.

Dangerous? You bet.

While I can see the value in a mode of transportation this portable, I can’t help but feel that I would be spending most of my time sliding on my ass across the asphalt. However, for those looking for a non-cardiovascular alternative to walking, the Powerboard just might do the trick.
