These new devices are probing at the global marketplace with iterative innovations that attempt to eke out the needs of the world’s consumers and build one product that can rule them all
Boosted’s new Stealth board looks very much like the previous versions of the board, but much like the name implies, that is all just a cover to keep it flying under the radar.

With millennials ditching car ownership for mass transit en masse, a gap has arisen in the otherwise blissfully efficient model — known as the “last mile.” This speaks to the inevitable delta between the endpoints of the mass transit models — bus stops, train stations, subway stations, and the like — … [continued]
It’s time to declare a clear winner in the rideables space, and it’s not the hoverboard. This is about rideables from a transit perspective, not a toy perspective. Rideables are small, personal electric vehicles. They can be carried onto mass transit or put in car trunks. They enable people to get … [continued]
