Some electric skateboards are nice sedate things, designed for leisurely commutes on city sidewalks. The Mach One isn't one those boards. It boasts a Formula 1 racecar-inspired design, a carbon deck, and a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
Electric skateboards seem cool but terrifying. A friend of mine broke both their legs on an electric skateboard like 3 or 4 years ago and is only just now starting to be able to do real physical activity again. They weren’t new to electric skateboards either, it’d been one of their main modes of transit for like a decade at that point.
Yeah, unpowered boards are dangerous enough for me. The idea of dowhnhill braking/regen is appealing, but the lack of redundancy is too concerning at my age: I’ll stick to bikes that offer a broader number of ways to stop and can handle debris better.
