GroundSurf Electric Skateboard

Via Gizmodo UK:

GroundSurf is a three-wheeled skateboard with an unusual twist: You can control it with a Bluetooth mobile. It’s driven by an electric motor between the two front wheels, and you can either remotely control its speed with your Bluetooth phone or lean forward to accelerate, backward to slow down or brake. But its designers, Paris-based company Ratleads, say it’s not a skateboard at all, but a surfboard.

From GroudSurf page:

It has got electrical motor in the front wheel, 3 dimensional cinematic rear truck, sensors as detection system, sensor pads on the board as motor remote control (you lean forward to accelerate, backward to slow down or brake), optional touchsreen bluetooth mobile phone device as alternative motor remote system…

It will be first launch by famous californian surf brand in spring 2008…
