We would like to take this moment to thank for contributing this article: New Motorized Longboards Reflect Industry's Rapid Growth: Low-cost E-glide Attracts Extreme Enthusiasts on a Tighter Budget. Anyone that contributes is a welcome addition to AllOnSkateboarding.com!

If you already enjoy riding traditional longboards, you will love this new take on an old classic. And if you've never tried one before, get with the times and get on one of these boards!Slide4less has long supported technological innovations in motorized longboards. Thanks to some hard work and development of international contacts, we are now able to offer the public a chance to purchase an electric longboard with virtually flawless remote operation through a handset that allows the operator to control acceleration and braking with totally "hands-free" operation. There are a number of motorized boards in the works, including flashy custom models, and Slide4less will bring the best of these boards to buyers as they become available. New for 2004 is the E-glide, a low-cost alternative to the extremely popular Exkate model of electric skateboard which sells for $999.All board designs offered for sale by Slide4less represent cutting-edge developments in electrical, remote-operated and compact vehicles.

These are the only electric skateboards in the world to offer truly effective remote operation, a necessity for rider safety. But whereas the Exkate X-24 was long considered the "most expensive skateboard in the world," the E-glide – produced by Crossbow, Inc. and featuring a retail price of just $499 – is the low-cost machine for those on a tighter budget. Exkate also has 4 new boards that will be distributed through various channels, and all of the new boards are lower cost alternatives, ranging in price from $199-$499."Motorized boards will likely become the world's most advanced vehicles with innovations that rival any other vehicle," says Steve Steinberg of Slide4less. "They are inherently dangerous, but sophisticated acceleration, braking and board control are key to making these machines effective for extreme sports enthusiasts."Steinberg notes that riders assume substantial risks with motorized boards, as with any other extreme sport.

(Could that be a factor in the board's wildly expanding popularity? Decide for yourself...) "Remote, hands-free boards require a unique frequency and a handset system which uses the rider as the exclusive antennae in an attempt to eliminate interference, which can jeopardize a rider's ability to maintain balance and control," he explained.Given this, Steinberg predicts that "these extreme machines will offer a higher level of fun and excitement and the incredible precision-crafted electronics make them a reality for serious riders and extreme individuals."Stock X-24 Exkate boards feature a cruising range of 12 miles on a single battery charge, with custom, high-power Lithium battery packs available for purchase separately. The boards offer an out-of-box, blistering top speed of 22 miles per hour.Slide4less features mostly the faster powerboard longboard models and also pre-owned/refurbished boards for less. Some of the newer lower cost electric skateboards will be sold by larger retailers who can deal with the volume sales. We carry natural-color decks and highly customized board styles including black, white and blue with blue tires; black, white and red with red tires; and natural wood with either red or blue tires.All of our electric longboards can be easily maneuvered through a crowd, yet can attain very high speeds. These are cutting-edge, hand-made electric vehicles with no expense spared.

All parts are engineered and machined specifically for the board and not "adapted" from existing skateboard and electric vehicle parts. WARNING: These electric skateboards are designed to be high-speed, extreme machines and should be operated with extreme care. Interference from overhead high-voltage wires can interfere with operation under certain circumstances. We recommend operation in a wide-open area that has limited signal interference. Motorized skateboards are illegal on many public roads.

Owners of these boards assume all risks of operation. Helmet, gloves, and leathers are highly recommendedYou can test ride an electric skateboard for free! Contact us for more information. And most importantly – Have Fun.
