May 11, 2009
Here's a skateboard that doesn't need a hill (or a push-off from your foot)for propulsion. James Howland and his project buddies, Pat Rimel and NateDavis, created a motorized mountainboard as a project for their mechanicalengineering class at Colorado State University.The gadget has a handheld speed control, and the team was able to get the boardup to speed of 13 miles per hour. The speed decreases while traveling up hillsbut still has enough torque to conquer hills with ease. The mountainboard alsohas buzzer on the nose that acts as a horn.
