This Electric Skateboard Weighs As Much As A MacBook Pro

Skateboarding to workis cool and all, but the stress of lugging and storing your board can easily overshadow the commuting convenience. Enter WalkCar: the new skateboard-esque device that weighs just about as much as a high-end laptop, and can be discreetly stored in your briefcase or backpack. It's like a Segway—that you'll actually want to own.

To activate the WalkCar, simply step on the four-wheeled device—it'll start automatically. You can change directions by shifting your body, and stop the ride by stepping off. 

The transport can travel up to 6.2 miles per hour and cover 7.4 miles on a three-hour charge, meaning that while the WalkCar might not be a practical replacement for an actual car, it's perfect for cutting down your walking time to the office. When the WalkCar debuts on Kickstarter later this year, it's expected to go for around $800.
