<\/a>Although I tried my best to participate in the hoverboard craze (or should I say, Self-balancing scooter craze<\/a>?), I just couldn’t get the hang of it. The Halo Board<\/a><\/strong> on the other hand offers a more familiar skateboard form factor, which I suspect will make it a lot easier for me and others like me who were “thrown” by the surprisingly unnatural feel of the other design.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The underside of the Halo Board.<\/p><\/div>\n

The all-new design of the carbon fiber Halo Board<\/strong> electric skateboard translates to a weight of just 14.75 lbs and a generous carrying capacity of up to 286 lbs. On a three hour charge of its 3000 watt dual motor design, you’ll get up to a 12 mile range, although naturally that will be lower if you regularly top out at its max speed of about 22 MPH.<\/p>\n

Taking another lesson from the hoverboard craze and the insane issues with exploding batteries, the Halo Board<\/strong> features a 7AH certified firesafe LG lithium ion battery to go along with a UL certified charger. Perhaps an even bigger contrast is that the Halo Board<\/strong> comes with an ergonomic Bluetooth remote control for instant acceleration, braking, and reversing.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The wireless Bluetooth remote control.<\/p><\/div>\n

Interestingly, even on hills, the Halo Board<\/strong> can still perform. It can power up and over a 25 degree hill grade and its regenerative eABS system slows you as you ride down. With its custom-made aluminum trucks and 83MM wheels with 78A softness, it should do well absorbing the impact and rumble you’d normally get on rougher roads.<\/p>\n

\"There's<\/a>

There’s a lot of tech in there, but it’s still surprisingly thin!<\/p><\/div>\n

As you can see from the photos, the Halo Board<\/strong> looks pretty cool as well. I’m especially impressed by how thin the board is considering all the power that it packs inside. Even its dimensions of 36 x 9.8 inches belie the tech its packing. I’ll definitely continue to keep an eye on the Halo Board<\/a><\/strong> after it starts shipping in July.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
