Sitting in a car stuck in traffic, or jammed into a train with a bunch of sweaty people, like sardines in a can is simply not what I wanted to be doing with my time, let alone for over an hour each day. Longer commutes are associated with lower rates of well-being and the average American spends 25.4 minutes commuting, with Los Angeles, Boston and Atlanta having some commutes that last over 90 minutes!

Electric skateboards work like a skateboard with an engine and remote control. Like any remote-controlled product, electric skateboards have an electric motor that propels the skateboard forward, powered by a battery under the deck and either hub wheel motors or a belt motor. The remote control, which the rider holds, once activated by the user, tells the skateboard what to do in the same way you use a remote control to give orders to a radio-controlled car. Think of an electric skateboard as a very large remote-controlled car. Electric bikes and scooters work differently than an electric skateboard because they are not remote-controlled.
