You are looking at the Fiik Street Surfer lithium-ion powered electric skateboard that can reach up to  22 mph.  It is designed for fun but can also appear to be a nice little buddy for your daily commute.  The unit comes with an RC remote that you hold in one hand like a joystick to attenuate your acceleration needs.  You will burn less calories in the long run but you can get to work in style if you’re willing to cough up $1,700.  Coffee cup holder not included.  You can check out a video of it in action here

Fiik skateboards also has a few other models to choose from depending on your needs of terrain.  You also have the option of a lead-acid battery too, but the lithium-ion is safer on the rider,  the environment and weighs less.
