Make conventional transport a thing of the past with the XERO eBoard

Posted Thursday 19th November 2009by Editor

XERO has launched an electric skateboard – the ultimate boy’s toy to make conventional transport a thing of the past in 2010. The ‘eBoard’ from XERO, looks set to see the latest trend, known as ‘road-boarding’ hit the UK streets this winter.

Operated by wireless remote control and supported by a safety integrated breaking system, the eBoard can accelerate up to 0-25 km/h in 4 seconds to either cruise, go long distances or combat hills.

XERO, the British green bike and scooter company, has created the eBoards to combine fun, style and speedy commuting. Dubbed as ‘road boarding’, electric skateboarding is great for off road and leisure activities but is also a fast and free way to commute to work.

The eBoards, which start at £119, come in a stylish, contemporary, sleek wood design and are powered by a light-weight lead acid or lithium batteries. The skateboards, which are charged as easily as your mobile phone, are simply plugged into any mains supply and are fully charged in 3-4 hours.

Being fully electric, the eBoards are free from carbon emissions and CO2 gases, do not require a license and naturally are exempt from parking charges, road tax and congestion charges! At only 15kg in weight an eBoard can be ridden to work and carried to your desk, or taken part way on the train or stored in the boot of the car – making it the perfect travelling companion.

The eBoard is the latest in a long line of green vehicles produced by British company XERO. After launching the UK’s first retro inspired electric scooter, the ‘Classic’, it has since unveiled the innovative Brompton-inspired foldable electric ‘Traveller’ bike’. Ollie Mitchell, CEO of XERO Electric Vehicles, says of the exciting addition to the market leading range “We are delighted with our newest product, as not only is it a functional mode of electric transport but is also a lot of fun to ride”.

Produced in different models to suit the beginner to the advanced; Junior, Sport and Pro the eBoard provides something for the family as well as a mixed ability group of friends. Prices range from £150.

eBoard Junior, priced at £119.99 has a top speed of 10km/h, range 10km per charge

eBoard Flow, priced at £149.99 has a top speed of 22km/h, range 15km per charge
