A Skateboard, with a Boost

In this TED Talk, Sanjay Dastoor introduces a lightweight electric skateboard — a compact personal vehicle designed to make short-distance travel effortless.

This small but powerful board can take you up to six miles on a single charge, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to cars or scooters for your daily commute.

What’s truly inspiring about this invention isn’t just the technology, but the simplicity of its vision — making urban transportation clean, efficient, and fun. It’s a reminder of how creativity and engineering can come together to transform something as ordinary as a skateboard into a smart mobility solution.

Isn’t it amazing how far innovation can take us — sometimes, quite literally?
