The ZBoard is the weight-sensing electric skateboard.

Simply lean forward to go and lean back to stop.

The ZBoard's deck includes front and rear foot pads. Each foot pad evaluates how much force the rider is applying and sends this information to the onboard micro-controller which dictates the speed of the electric motor.

Leaning on the front foot pad begins acceleration. Acceleration is completely variable meaning you can cruise at any pace.

Leaning back kicks in regenerative braking, allowing the rider to stop on a downhill.

No, we recommend you stand in the middle of the board and flare your foot out to the foot pad of choice.

The ZBoard includes off-road wheels and a built-in handle for convenience. The ZBoard also ships with a charger that works at any 110V wall outlet (220V chargers for European customers are also available).

See our Specifications page for detailed information.

Equipped with regenerative braking and an electric motor, the ZBoard gets a carbon footprint equivalent of up to 1500 miles/gallon.

The ZBoard can successfully make it up most small to medium hills (think like a parking structure), especially when it gets a moving start. Success on hills is dependent on grade, road conditions, and rider weight. On downhills, the ZBoard will limit the rider's speed for safety. Also, the rider can bring the ZBoard to a complete stop on the downhill by leaning back to brake.

Yes, the ZBoard works for goofy footed riders.

Wet pavement will not harm the ZBoard but do not ride it in the rain and avoid large puddles.

The Sealed Lead Acid Battery in the Classic Model is rated for up to 250 cycles. The Lithium Ion Battery in the Pro Model is rated for up to 500+ cycles. Replacements will be available for purchase.

Yes. The ZBoard comes with a 90 day limited warranty and a 6 month battery warranty.

Customers can return their ZBoard within 14 days of arrival. Customers will pay for return shipping and handling.

The charger brick is 1.5" x 2.5" x 6" and it looks more or less like a laptop charger. 

Will I be able to purchase the individual ZBoard components, if I need to replace them on my ZBoard?
Yes. The ZBoard's modular design makes it easy to swap in and out parts.

Can I push the ZBoard like a regular skateboard?
While the ZBoard will roll, it will not roll as well as a standard skateboard. You can push, just expect to travel slowly.

We recommend 225 pounds or less.

Yes. While this will not be available at launch, we expect this to become an option during Summer 2012

We do not recommend doing tricks on your ZBoard.

The "Z" in ZBoard refers to the Z-axis. The rider navigates through the X-Y plane by administering force in a direction parallel to the Z-axis (down, into the footpads).
