If you find the dangling wire ungainly, then Exkate, (www.exkate.com), another Californian company, offers wireless control options for its collection of powerboards. These run the gamut from a $250 kid's model (with a top speed of 12 km/h) to the $1,000 top-of-the-line X-24 (with a range of 20 km, a top speed of nearly 32 km/h and cruise control). Nipping to the shops will be more fun - and faster - than you've ever imagined...
