Hi David, We will stock up our online shop by the end of the year. And wheels will be one of the accessories we will be adding. But we can't give you any final figures at this point yet. Hope you understand. Stay Mellow!

@toonster84 dig it! But does the remote allow for braking? And furthermore is the energy won back during the braking process?

@boettges @toonster84 Hi Peter, good questions! Remote def. allows you to brake otherwise it´s gone be a bit dangerous with a top speed of 40km/h :) - Second questions is also answered with yes! If you got more questions, check out our webpage, there is also an FAQ section ( http://www.mellowboards.com/faq/ ) - Stay mellow!

I've never managed to be much of a skateboarder (not through lack of trying!) but this looks so cool. I'm going to New York soon and consequently have been watching endless videos from @CaseyNeistat (Founder of Beme). I see him navigating with ease through NYC and New London with his Boosted Board. Mellow Boards, however, allow you to use a variation of different boards with similar effect. The guys from Mellow Boards can tell you more!! I imagine skateboard fans out there will love this and it really makes me consider investing in one for getting around... Although I'll leave the tricks to the pro's like @tonyhawk - who will be doing a LIVE Chat here on Product Hunt!!

Can people please just learn to use their legs and push? These lazy toys are just ridiculous. Last week I saw a ~20 year old guy using his self balancing scooter or whatever it's called, next to his grandma who could barely walk..

@nichlaswa Hi Nichlas, I wouldn´t go that far to compare a self balancing scooter with an electric skateboard. However I can see your point about pushing - which by the way you still can do ;). At the end you need to ask yourself the question what the purpose of it would be. As we love to go on surfing and snowboarding trips we didn't want to miss that feeling, of riding a wave in South France or doing some powder turns in the Alps, for the rest of the year. If you love these or other board sports, you will love riding an electric skateboard. I´m pretty sure you would fell in love with it as well :)
