While this might look slightly terrifying, like it’s a prop in science fiction movie, you’re looking at what might be the ultimate electronic off-road skateboard. Fittingly, it’s called the Track1 and it’s built by Flux designs. As you can see, it’s one hell of a design that screams off-road prowess, but this isn’t all form and no function. It has the specs to back it up too.
This one of a kind machine has an expected top speed of just over 20mph thanks to a 5hp electric engine. That should be more than enough to carry up, over, or through just about any sort of terrain that you’d be willing to attempt while riding a skateboard contraption such as this. The layout is similar to what you see on a snowmobile with the large single track providing all the power and upfront sits two knobby off-road tires. That should theoretically make it more stable when you’re mounted atop the high-strength, lightweight deck made out of Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, even still it’s gotta be incredibly difficult to ride and that’s why the creators of the machine also equipped it with a set of handlebars. Flux Designs is currently taking pre-orders on Indiegogo if you want one. But be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get it, $2,500 to be exact.
