One of my favorite website, The Verge, has been at CES and got to test a new electric skateboard. Described as a cross between Segway and a skateboard, the Zboard uses your body position to accelerate and brake – turning works as normal. It has a top speed of 17 mp/h (27.2 km/h), a range of 10 miles (16.09km) and costs US$950. I can’t see any reason for actually buying one of these, nor does it look particularly fun but if you happen to still be interested, you can read the full review here and see it in action below.
