Proof that if you can dream it up, someone will try to build it: A man built a combination electric skateboard and bike—only the skateboard is motorized.
Have you ever wanted to convert your bike into a skateboard? No? What about converting your skateboard into a bike? Someone with a YouTube channel took an electric skateboard and a kids bike and eliminated all the bits that would prevent you from using both at the same time, or something.
After removing the motors, battery, trucks and wheels from the skateboard and after cutting off half the fork, one crank arm and the brake cables, he drilled into the bike frame to mount the skateboard components to the side. It’s a flavor of creativity that clearly subscribes to the, “Why not?” school of thought.
With just half a fork, one crank arm and no brakes, this might not be a product we’d want to bring to market (okay, there’s no way on His green earth), but good grief, it’s pretty amazing what people can dream up.
Not that we think our readers are crazy, but we do have a responsibility to say out loud: “Please don’t try this at home. Or anywhere else. At all.”
We can’t help but wonder if this is just a prototype of a toy that will soon be on the shelves of big box retailers. In the meantime, this video will remind us all that human beings are really inventive.
