The Z Board 2

As time goes on people are looking for more efficient ways to be able to travel from place to place. Inventions such as the segway and scooters have helped bridge the gap between fast transportation and fuel efficiency. However, a company has recently released a new form of transportation called the Z Board 2. The Z Board 2 is an electric long board that can reach speeds of up to twenty miles per hour. It is also relatively light with a weight that is between 15 and 20 pounds. The Z Board 2 will be released in two editions of different qualities. One edition will cost 999 dollars and the other will cost 1999 dollars. The higher edition will boast better fuel efficiency with the ability to run for up to 24 miles off of a single charge. The cheaper version will be able to run up to 16 miles off of a single charge.

I think that it is cool that companies are developing products such as this to improve the efficiency of modern day transportation. If everyone was able to use one of these to get to work in a town such as New York city the amount of pollution in the city would be cut down by a lot. The product would also save money for the consumer because they wouldn't have to pay money for the gas required for the trip to their work or destination. I also think that it is cool that the Z Board 2 is pressure sensitive. This allows for a more responsive control system for the board. This also brings up the possibility of sensitivity customization on the boards control system. This could make the board appealing to all types of people, including the elderly. I also like the idea of the Z Board 2 because it would reduce the amount of traffic related accidents in large cities such as New York or San Francisco. It would reduce the amount of crashes by clearing up the streets and allowing more space for people to drive. This would also help with the long commute times that are present in California and around large cities. I also think that the Z Board 2 has a lot of potential to help people with physical impediments become more mobile. It is a lightweight solution that could be adapted to help people with amputated travel decent distances while not in a car or hobbling around.

Overall I think that transportation products such as the Z Board 2 have the potential to be commonplace in the streets in the very near future. They offer a vastly more efficient way of transportation and also would help make the streets safer. I hope that the Z Board 2 and products like it will become more common as times goes on because if they were implemented at a large scale they would make a large, positive impact on how people go about their day and how society works.
