My friend has one of these and I've seen videos he has posted riding it around town, it looks pretty cool! Right now the Swagboard, also known as the electric skateboard, is on sale for 23% off regular price on eBay with free shipping. The board features a 32" maple deck and comes with a bluetooth remote so you're not tethered to the board that travels up to 11mph. The battery life lasts between 4-10 miles, which should be far enough to get where you need to go before recharging the Li-On battery. The same electric skateboard sells for $299.99 at Walmart.
