no one share the link to casey lol
No.
he has it already lmao xD
he has it already lmao xD
+😈 satan worships me 😈 No need 😂 he has pretty much everything anyway.
+😈 satan worships me 😈 who?
These sort of videos are the reason why I am still subbed to The Verge. None of that iOS BS. I'm not gonna look for no phone/tablet review on here. But with features like these, the big future etc I'm definitely sticking around. At the end of the day, let's face it the quality of their production is unparalleled.
Looks like you just stopped by Casey niestats office
u know the skate boards reminded me of him that's why I clicked on the video
same
i was thinking the same lol :P
I like how so many long boarders and skater boarders are getting offended by new technology. Nothing is being taken away from them😂
I use my electric skateboard for commuting to the skate park with a traditional skateboard strap on my backpack.
This is proof the Verge can make top notch videos
Agree
***** lool, agreed
Amazingly shot video, The Verge has surprised me but this time, it was even better than that. And these new rideables are so cool !
Just no people. Just absolute no. No need for motorized skateboards or longboards! We need exercise! Not being lazy!
Better than driving
Dravenoid The city where I live is full of hills, and I walk about 5-8 miles a day already, so an electric longboard is ideal.
My thought exactly.
marinecorpsman100 To go up the hill maybe? Why the fuck would you want to carry a 18pound longboard up the hill when you can stand on it?
marinecorpsman100 To go UP THE HILL maybe? Ever thought of that? And not just down the hill... idiots these days...
*As battery technology advances.
Good luck with that. We've been stuck using the same batteries forever.
+Movie Games Samsung just invented a battery technology for batteries that can double to battery capacity.
+GoO gLiT This is the "Cancer Cure Effect", just like we hear about a new drug that cures cancer every month, we also hear about a new battery technology that's been invented every month. Unfortunately, nothing has come to production yet.
+Movie Games Graphene supercapacitors are already possible, its the cost and adjusting current manufacturing processes that are factors of the market in the future..
+Movie Games As long as the materials are replaced with better strength and durability as well as flexibility; advanced polymers mixed with nanomaterials can create composites much better than traditional wood. Anything is possible if you have the money.
😂😂
Awesome toys.....that no skater can afford as usual...lol
+carpo719 No skater would want this... No real skater at least. This is a discrace to the skating world
nick deloreto Ive been skating for a while too, I guess you have a point. I would just never see myself on this thing
+nick deloreto Hhaha. If you feel the urge to hit somebody just because they ride an electric transportation device, you should see a psyche ward or an institution where mistakes like you should be locked-up....
+nick deloreto check yourself into a clinic

Update this.
I love Verge's editing and sleek animations.
This was really cool and interesting to watch, happy to see Top Shelf back again! :)
Why not just learn to push, and powerslide? It's not that hard... And plus, skate tricks are fun.
Yeah you are right!
x17Chimera i agree downhill longboarding is just like snowboarding, but sketchier
toshi True. It works in the same way if you learn power slides. Stopping, and turning.
x17Chimera YOU LACK THE NEED FOR SPEED
Salty Banana Speed is cool. Tricks are more fun. I do like bombing hills though.
California and New York will more than likely require you to get a license to ride this since it is non human powered. The Fact California wanted to force people to get a license to ride a bicycle means this will not fly in tyrannical states.
Bike license you have to take state bike tests instead of learning with parents and friends and by yourself defiantly tyrant what will be the minimum age you can ride a bike 7 for a learners permit and jr. license( were you can only ride with a licensed adult 😡😵)
+PlasmaBurns This whole damn country is tyrannical already run by corrupt criminals cops and crooks in suits
bakishamil
Yes it is, and If you would like to see exactly how these criminals get away with it, search for a video titled -
"Nothing but the Truth - Corcoran Fraudsters"
It's a very rare glimpse of what goes on behind the curtain in our system of slavery by consent.
***** man I know what you are saying I see it everyday on NYC streets how criminals off duty behave and crooks in suits..>Sheep will just go with a flow....I really believe something huge is coming .....time will tell
+bakishamil Their not being tyrannical and the reason why is you could end up seriously hurting yourself, or somebody else. It's not fun getting your skin all scraped up on the asphalt from a fall riding a motorized skateboard because it stop short of a small rock that the wheels can not roll over.
I wish the quality of these videos would be recognized. Great work.
Great Video. Always a joy to watch Sam Sheffer handling some kind of a sports/traveling equipment.
If only these things weren't so expensive.
I know right
I would of had one by now..
Unknown Entity
frostxr Roughly how much do they cost?
Darren close to $2000
So was the hovertrax in this video the first Swegway/Handless Segway?
+JIDB yes
planet money did a hole piece on it
+gmann2101 What's a "hole piece"?
j
Superman mom Chili'
Really good video. Quality production on the part of whoever put this together, and ya'll did a great job explaining the big picture of all these new personal transportation devices.
The Leif sounds awesome. Combining my two favorite boards into one delicious ride. Gotta look into that....
4:44 what is that one called? looks interesting.
12,5 mph? isn't that quite slow?
I normally ride 30 down hills
This board is faster and cheap (369$): igg.me/at/ACTONBLINK/x/4115868
Probably the best Top Shelf episode by far.
Loved the ending song and it's montage. Pretty cool :)
I feel like an electric longboard sort of defeats the purpose of longboarding, I mean it's not like longboarding is that difficult of a thing to do. But as for the SBU and the solowheel, those are bad ass and I want to buy those badly lol.
It mainly about practicality while still being fun.
haven't you ever been tired but still wanted to skate!? a boosted board would be to dope. fucking night cruise
Tommy Wright if id be tired i would take a brake then go back to boarding
This is meant for commuting not tricks.
It's faster than pushing so why would you opt for a non-motorized skateboard/longboard if you were looking for a commuting board?
If you want to do tricks you, of course, get the regular one.
There's so much joy in pushing through city with a skateboard. There's no need for electrical skateboards, don't get lazy people!
Ok push your skateboard 15 miles to work. You'll arrive all sweaty and tired... I'll also beat you there by like an hour.
Brandon M Nobody's gonna ride an electric skateboard for 15 miles. Get a car or move closer to work.
Brandon M if your used to skating you can push as long as you want. Plus exercise keeps u fit bitch
William Calderon I get exercise other ways... I ride for fun... All of you that keep touting the wonders of skateboarding exercise... You're working out at best your legs... usually just the one leg... I run... You're the lazy one.
Clay Hadley I do... I don't do it only for transportation... I like riding it. It's fun and transportation. I like green travel... my car certainly isn't that. If I had one that traveled 30 miles I would ride it 30 miles.
Super cool stuff and they look like a lot of fun!
This is so interesting. I feel so compelled to get one of these devices. Excellent and informative. Thank you.
"A bike with a motor " ...so a motorcycle?
Sans the mufflers
Luke tree so a electric motorcycle
Moped actually.
Luke tree I would think it will be kinda like that
motorcycles have engines.
Those air mags tho 😍
where's my potato juice 😐
Good video my guy. I just bought the ninebot es2 scooter. Very pleased with it.
3:15 skating for over a decade but still caught doing a mall grip
If you note the shape of the board, the grip is very difficult in the other position due to the heavy bulging battery housing on the top and the motors on the bottom. It's more natural to keep weight toward the center of gravity and reduce wrist bend. This isn't your skateboard, the trucks aren't the heavy part, and the board isn't thin.
This almost had nothing to do with e-boards. You talk about them for 1 minute, and no longer.
They talk about it the whole time.
Related topics I mean.
fatson jetson
I have an idea for transportation! They are called legs. Ive used them most of my life. It really helps me move around.
Most?
+Joshua The Dude yeah most because the first year or two you can't walk
+Jaxs200 lalz
+Ihas candee run at 22mph then talk to me
lmao rofl
My heart skipped a beat when they said it was all done in Camas, WA. It's a small town near Portland, OR. I live in Camas, and never realized the motorized unicycle business made all this. haha
im ready for this!!
What are those ones were u put your foot in and ride and there's two serprate
Roller skates/blades?
Ripsticks?
Swegway
i dont know but i want the zboard
other one
What's the song at 0:24 to 1:20 ?
Darude- Sandstorm
Daniel Carrillo -_-
I want one of these for Christmas!
I like this episode gj. Keep up the good work.
Can I have a list of all the songs used in this video?
so the song in the intro is called "pony pony run run hey you"
Lol the song at 4:03 sounds somewhat like lonely boy by the black keys thats all i got.
Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You (WAEK Remix)
All u ppl that don't like this idea no one is telling u to buy one so don't. But for the ppl that does like this like I do it is awesome & I can't wait to get the segwheel 4 outside & that little black thing for inside. If u ppl that don't like this still want to do things the old way no one is stopping u so enjoy the old life & the rest of us will enjoy the new life
Exactly!! Don't see why they're complaining😂
rip lyfee Some people out there use longboards and skateboards for only transportation purposes. Not everyone who owns a skateboard or longboard uses it for tricks and flips
1st of all are u the spelling police and there is nothing wrong with the internet/text lingo that is now apart of the world we now live in. If u don't like it then don't comment on what I said easy enough & even a 5yr old would know that. Just pass on by my comment next time no matter what I comment on.
1st of all I am a 40yr old married man & if u don't believe me look me up on fb & twitter until then stfu
***** Hey buddy, you forgot to end with a period. Don't hurt yourself over it okay? I know it's an elementary mistake.
Really awesome video! Thanks.
the first one put a smile on my face.
Popular in Germany LMAO :D
+Asator I thought the same. As long as every motorized vehicle driving more than 6 km/h max is illegal on German streets, none of them will be popular in
Germany.
The Yuneec ego cruiser is. A bit ;)
Ich hab so ein Ding noch nie gesehen ;D
Ja aber der E-Go cruiser ist warscheinlich der Bekannteste :3
+Asator denke auch mal
Skateboarding for over a decade? The footage of you struggling to ride a long board determined that was a lie.
He explained why he was having trouble....
fireflame608 same fuckin thing it's board with wheels on it.
Guessing you've never skated before, since that's how you assume it to be.
No need to be insecure. You kind of dropped the ball when you said the only difference, "is the size and weight." Probably why it also has an electric motor.
Saad Salahuddin what's your point?
Awesome job guys
So solid, i loved the skateboard part. I could have watched another 10 mins just on that topic
Too bad Indian roads are not smooth enough to use these things .
yaa...it hurts alot...
Don't know about that one. Took my street skateboard to India this year and had a lot of fun shredding in Delhi. The shared space concept at work in traffic really helps skaters.
Get all terrain wheels
If any of you longboarded you'd know how unnecessarily the motor is. It makes it much much heavier, defeating the lightweight travel purpose. The longboard itself is already more than sufficient for traveling short to mid distances.. I can hit 25km/hr on flats EASILY.
I rode all the longboards in this video and I have been riding regular longboards for about ten years. They are cool. Trust me. You want one.
25kph would be very slow on one of these... I have a cheap board that does 19mph... My next board boasts 37mph...
20m/hr is like 45km/hr
Bird kid I was guessing… you didn't have to google it…
Everything Cards if you need google to multiply by 1.6 - we are truely fucked
That was awesome.
All of those products looks awesome, good review!
So bad that electric scateboards are illegal in my country, Norway. Segways and other self balancing things have been legal half a year or something.
So I am thinking about getting Onewheel
***** ja ;`(
Kim Rene Mossige jo det er ulovlig, men de vanlige politifolka ol. tenker ikke over det. så lite sannsynlig at du blir tatt. men hvis du blir tatt, får man seg en bot.
Hvordan vet du at det er ulovlig? Jeg finner ingen paragrafer på det. Jeg har lett ganske mye etter det selv. Har også sendt mail til politiet om det, men de greide ikke gi meg et skikkelig svar.
har sett flere steder at det er sagt at det er ulovlig, blant annet har både NRK og TV2 sagt det når det har vært snakk om elektrisk drevende fartøy. hvet ikke om det er noe direkte lov mot akkurat det, men det tror jeg heller ikke det var mot Segway før det ble godkjent heller. kan godt hende lovene er litt spesifikke.
det kan godt hende det er derfor politiet ikke greier å gi et ordentlig svar på det.
electric heelys when
Pewdiepie used something kinda like that
It so awesome what people build in this time.
that girl doing the hand stand at the end is an og hypebeast
Best ElectricSkateboards Are Metroboard!
So I thought... Until my Metroboard shit out on me after just a few months... and I can never get more than a one sentence response from Ilan. All I heard was what great customer service he has... I don't equate a fast response with a good one.
na
I want an electric skateboard so i can get to the gym faster .... ha ha ha
That Leif Board is more than amazing!
Great vid man, keep it up! :)
no one ride this things here in Germany..
thought the exact same thing, have never seen something like this here, but "it's popular" :D :D
no one either in France x)
Roadirsh You can only be in one place at a time, just because you dont see doesnt mean its not popular
ImAfricanJesus thanks jesus obvious, but i'm pretty sure that it is still not popular in France
That's an electric freeboard ...
Racktoo Blatch Exactly what i was thinking. maybe give freebord credit
Ben Speirs they did, briefly at 2:10
ah ok didnt c that.
THIS IS SO COOL OMG
awesome video!
People are getting lazier and lazier to the point where people will never touch the ground again
fuck you, i was gonna say that.
Go live with the Amish you tech hating caveman.
brandon man you are a fucking poser if thats you arent willing to push
Titus Tulin Your'e an idiot.... lol a poser... You sound like a child.
Brandon M and you sound like a poser, that knows nothing about skateboarding
thumbs up if you now own an electric skateboard in twenty sixteen
here here. waiting on my own to come in the mail
I have been skating for .. 12 years... something like that, mostly cruising honestly.. i can do an ollie.. thats just about it. I always wanted to get into snowboarding but live in Arizona sooo not gonna happen anytime soon. however with the leaf board, it would probably let me get the hang of snowboarding while still being on pavement. Very,very, cool stuff.
Loved this video
These aren't practical in SF sadly, too many hills.
+ArrKayCee for reals !!
+ArrKayCee then practice with a real downhill and freeride longboard
+Alexander Copeland You've never seen some of SF's hills, have you?
you can do slides ya know
ArrKayCee but ya those look pretty big

+please share this message : u think ur going to save the world with your stupid "please share this message"?? You're not helping you're actually making the problem worse because people think that they're helping by recognizing that there is a problem. Do something, don't say something.
MCSGproject I am doing too, I am childfree, I eat organic, I sort my waste, etc...
spread this message : There will always be an unfathomable amount of people that don't do what you do. You thinking your helping by doing that is making the problem worse, because you won't resort to a better solution. You can spent your whole life on your own individual case, but the world will still go to shit no matter what you do. People have to think bigger than "not going to starbucks to save one plastic cup".
+spread this message : I'm going to have 10 children and burn a tire or two to completely negate all your efforts.
+MCSGproject I disagree, every little bit helps, it is people like you who aren't helping.
That takes the fun out of it. Pushing is great.
cool!!!! i am excited to get one of this!!
I picked up an electric board roughly 6 years ago for like £40. It went around 10 mph and was really fun. Seeing this market blow up now I kinda wish we still had it.
Can you give me the name of it
Congrats on 1 million subscribers!
This is so sick!
that is the coolest thing I've ever seen nice job :)
I can understand how people think that these are useless for you can just use a regular longboard, but these boards go faster and I think some allow you to ride them like a regular skateboard when their battery runs out. Also, you gotta admit, the board that imitates snowboarding is pretty damn cool, there is no other skateboard like that.
THIS CHANNEL IS THE BEST!!!!!!!
This takes out the fun in longboarding
I bought Yuneec E-Go through Amazon a few months ago. Bad fall, was able to get video from security camera. Going up very slight incline at slow speed I stepped on the forward part of the board just enough to lift the rear wheels which created a banana peel effect throwing me forward. I'm just now recovering from the injuries, trying to decide whether to try it again. What I learned: 1) wear a helmet, 2) going up even a very slight incline do not step on the nose of the board. I'm wondering if there are other considerations, I'd prefer not to learn them all by trial and error.
I NEED THIS BOARD
these videos are great. really well done.
so the (edit) *leafboard* is prettymuch for making sliding easier and giving more of a snowboarding feel to a longboard?
neat!
that was the epic thng ive ever seen in my life
That was pretty dope.
can you do an update for the zboard 2 please? I ordered mine almost two years ago and still haven't received mine. just a thought.
What song is at the end when he's showing us the boards we can buy now
This is so cool
Really cool video
Snowboarding is awesome and skateboard that lets you ride like a snowboard on streets is even more AWESOME! :D
the SBU looks fun just to zoom around on
Anyone else have a Yuneec EGO? I have a question. Does anyone know the slope to degree conversion to 3% downhill. so I know what type of hills I can go down without system failure or over heating?
nice video. enjoyed it
bringing back ye' old tune at the credits.
much obliged
cool stuff!
That was interesting!!thanks guy.
I love the electric unicycles, best transportation ever!!
I had shoes with wheels in them, coolest kid in school!
I was so jelous when i saw someone riding this thing :D
+Alexander Käll rollies jaja
I wish someone would do a electric skateboard comparison of the top boards out there!
Like the Boosted Board, the Marbel, the In-Board M1 and the Stary!
I want a contac to buy some of those. Here in Brazil is hard to find anything
