Just when you thought life was getting harder, Kickr comes along and manages to save you a sweat on your commute to work. All you have to do is grab your existing skateboard or longboard, attach the axle-mounted motor assemble and battery pack via a custom strap, use the sensor in the strap to control the throttle, and you’ll be on your way to speeds of up to 20 mph. The 5 pound stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum pushes out 1100 watts with a lithium-ion battery, all while allowing a six-mile range between charges to give you a decent amount of coverage area. Pledge to the Kickstarter project now and life will become that much easier.
