Here’s Seth Riding An Electric ‘Freeboard’ Around Cape Town’s CBD [Video]

There’s been a lot of talk about the all-new, all-electric Freeboards that you see cruising around town. I managed to get my hands on one and this is the result.

In a nutshell – it’s bloody brilliant.

I’ve been using this one for a few weeks now, and even used it to get to the Mount Nelson from Cartel House (Loop Street). The trip was a doddle and very satisfying too.

The biggest thing that struck me was how quick the journey took. I was there in five minutes or so, and had so much fun doing it.

Cruising up small inclines and adjusting my speed / applying brakes, without having to take a foot off the board, is a very pleasurable experience.

It takes four hours to fully charge and will take you up to 30kms, at speeds of up to 30 km/h. You really don’t need much more than that.
