I was a little slow on this one
Our grandchildren are all into electric scooters and that probably aided my ignorance of a "new" device I saw yesterday on 34th street in mid-town Manhattan.
The skateboarder was going the same way as me, but in the bus lane to my right. I was impressed with this guy and how effortlessly he was going along at an impressive pace. Finally, after about 4 or 5 blocks I noticed he moved away from a light change and never dropped a foot to the ground---it was only then that I noticed something in his right hand as well as another something under his board----the dude was under power!
Had he not done that miracle start up at the light I would never had noticed a difference to a normal skateboard.
