These new electric skateboards use special motors that go further and faster than the others

I'm not a skater, but if I were to own a skateboard, it would be electric.

They give me the control I craved when I first tried skateboarding back in the day, most notably the ability to brake while moving downhill and cruising forward without having to kick.

Earlier this week, a personal transportation company called Acton kicked off an Indiegogo campaign for three new electric skateboards called the Blink S, Blink S2, and the Blink Qu4tro.

At the time of writing, Acton has amassed $1.16 million of its $50,000 goal with three days left to go. So, it's safe to say that people are interested.

Acton's boards use a different kind of motor for its electric skateboards than the other popular name in electric skateboards, Boosted.
