product every year to review most of them no need to be charged via a micro USB cable we've got something special here that not only gets us out of the office plus let's do something pretty fun we're taking a look at the Seaboard pro it is an all-electric skateboard and it is all awesome so a few weeks ago the folks from Z board reach out to see if we were interested in taking a look at their Zboard front of course my first reaction was hell yes if thirteen-year-olds media this is gonna exist I would be super excited I foolishly ran home told my wife we're getting an electric skateboard too what she said you to wear a lot of protective padding then this came in and I tried it I realized it's really easy to use and seemed surprisingly safe if you're not super klutzy or stupid so let me take a little bit about this guy so there are a couple versions of the Z board available we've got the Z board Pro there's a regular Z board as well this guy starts at nine hundred forty nine dollars it can go up to seventeen miles per hour which is pretty fast you can get up to ten miles of range with it it weighs a pretty reasonable 25 pounds plug into this a regular 110 wall outs can take about five to six hours if you want to opt for the classic though it's a few hundred others cheaper at 649 Z board is actually a crowdfunded project it was asking for $100,000 they raised two hundred and seventy eight and I can totally see why so let's take a look at the board and then I'm just gonna hop on it and start writing so a few things to take a look at down here you've got two pads stepping on this one essentially your go pad when you put your foot on this it starts to move this one is going to serve do a reverse thrust which could be your brake or just going reverse to make sure you're safe at night they also have three LED lights on the back so anybody can't see you being electric and I've enjoyed that instant torque I was really worried this is gonna feel like when you step on it but you gradually you're not suddenly thrust forward and the more you step on it the more pressure you put the facts are gonna go so you can still control it you don't have to use any silly sort of hand control to make sure you move plugs in really easy there's an adapter right here it's three prong that plugs into a wall it's got a power switch to turn that sucker on and you are good to go you can hear a light hum and you're on your way so enough about me talking usually you see me with phones you're gonna see how coordinated or not coordinated I am and I'm sorry

show you what it looks like it's powered on I can wheel a little bit again the back one's gonna be reversed the front pad is gonna be set you off to go so I'll go ahead and step on it and you start moving really gradually you can put as much pressure as you want and you just move and write it like a regular skateboard it's really natural to ride and you can go like I said it's got a range of 10 miles you can go pretty far on this thing go ahead and go a little faster you can turn anything you can do on a regular skateboard so it's really simple that's all there is to it they made this daddy easy for anybody to ride put your foot on the front you go forward take your foot off you'll slowly Coast or tap your foot back a little bit and you're going to stop super easy so this thing might not have a 4k screen it might not have a 12 or 16 megapixel camera the optical image stabilization might not have a Snapdragon 805 this thing has a lot of fun this is probably one of the most enjoyable reviews I have ever done we ride this thing around the office for a couple weeks now just going from room to room just riding it around because way more fun than walking Z board nailed this one hit it way out of the park you've got the money it is a worthwhile investment it is a ton of fun great way to get around a college campus a great way to just get from place to place if you take a bus to work and you want to get there and back it's light enough that you could just sort of carry at 25 pounds it's not overly heavy handle makes it way easier it's got some cushion on it and just an enjoyable thing to have it's a fun toy and the kiddin me can't believe I got an actually review this for a job thank you guys for watching if you want to see more videos from people who just love technology hit
