This is Tech

I used to do a bit of skateboarding when I was in college. Back then, we didn’t have anything like this electric skateboard from Altered Skateboards. With a top speed of 20 mph, and a wireless rc car style controller, these things look like a blast. If you are looking for some eco-friendly personal transportation, this might be a less pretentious alternative to a segway.

My advice to Altered, send one of these to Kevin Rose in San Francisco to ride back and forth to the Digg headquarters. Kevin’s got a huge following, and this kind of thing is right up his alley.

Read on for some more pics and a link to an impressive video of the company’s founder hanging ten on one of these.

Check out the Altered website for some impressive video of the board in action.
