The electric skateboard market is once more heating up with the addition of the Raptor Xtreme ? an in-company rival to the top selling Exkate powerboard, long considered the ?most expensive electric skateboard in the world' at a retail price of $999. The Raptor Extreme is manufactured by Exkate but in China. It is essentially the same board with a little less top speed for only $499.99.Slide4less has long supported technological innovations and market competition in motorized skateboard development. Thanks to some hard work, we can now offer the consumer a chance to select just the right board from a multitude of models, styles and prices and purchase it easily and directly from us on-line.As a relative newcomer to extreme sports, you might choose a less-expensive option such as the Raptor 4.0 Extreme. This is a 40-inch longboard with fully proportional wireless remote control for acceleration and braking.
It has a 400-watt motor and cruises up to 10 miles on a single charge at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour. This board is great for newcomers and seasoned veterans alike, due to its very reasonable price.But if you are experienced and ready for the ?grand-daddy' of electric skateboards, step on up to the Exkate, used and enjoyed by professional extreme sports enthusiasts and skateboarders. It's not cheap and may well be the most expensive electric skateboard on the market with a starting price of $999, but you have never (and may never again) try a machine as ?tight' as this. The hand-held, wireless remote is virtually flawless, works well in any conditions and makes this board ?stop on a dime.' Long-lasting batteries keep it going for miles and miles and can be easily recharged, and the motor-braking system is unique to the market.These and other board styles are featured exclusively on a website devoted entirely to electric longboards: www.electriclongboards.com and are also available via www.slide4less.com.All board designs offered for sale by Slide4less represent cutting-edge developments in electrical, remote-operated and compact vehicles. These are the only electric skateboards in the world to offer truly effective remote operation, a necessity for rider safety."Motorized boards will likely become the world's most advanced vehicles with innovations that rival any other vehicle," says Steve Steinberg of Slide4less.
"They are inherently dangerous, but sophisticated acceleration, braking and board control are key to making these machines effective for extreme sports enthusiasts."Steinberg notes that riders assume substantial risks with motorized boards, as with any other extreme sport. (Could that be a factor in the board's wildly expanding popularity? Decide for yourself.) "Remote, hands-free boards require a unique frequency and a handset system which uses the rider as the exclusive antennae in an attempt to eliminate interference, which can jeopardize a rider's ability to maintain balance and control," he explained.Given this, Steinberg predicts that "these extreme machines will offer a higher level of fun and excitement and the incredible precision-crafted electronics make them a reality for serious riders and extreme individuals."Stock Exkate boards feature a cruising range of 12 miles on a single battery charge, with custom, high-power Lithium battery packs available for purchase separately. The boards offer an out-of-box, blistering top speed of 22 miles per hour."These are the only vehicles in the world to give you a functional and safe wireless remote throttle and braking system, right at your fingertips," says Slide4less partner Darren Romar. "These skateboards are designed to emulate the feel and responsiveness that snowboarders and surfers love. This is an extreme sport that does not require waves, snow, wind or hills.
People in the flatlands of the Midwest can have just as much fun on these boards as those living in hilly Sausalito, Calif. Maybe even more!"Powerboards are one of the most environmentally friendly vehicles available on the market, with strikingly silent operation and zero emissions. It is snowboarding with no lift line, wakeboarding without a boat and skateboarding without your feet ever touching the ground. You just step on and accelerate! With the X-24 motor specially built to suit the powerboard, you can blast away to top speed in under four seconds. The extreme torque will easily pull you and a friend up the steepest hills, and the revolutionary longboard truck eliminates speed wobble while providing for an astonishing 10-foot turning radius.
The unique bushings are formulated for the powerboard to absorb road shock while keeping you in firm control via the wireless hand controller.Slide4less offers all new powerboard models and also pre-owned or refurbished boards for less. We carry natural-color decks and highly customized board styles including black, white and blue with blue tires; black, white and red with red tires; and natural wood with either red or blue tires.All of our electric skateboards can be easily maneuvered through a crowd, yet can attain very high speeds. These are cutting-edge, hand-made electric vehicles with no expense spared. All parts are engineered and machined specifically for the board and not "adapted" from existing skateboard and electric vehicle parts. You can test ride an electric skateboard for free.

Owners of LAWN CARE and LANDSCAPING businesses use a tremendous amount of Gasoline in their business every day.Lawn Care business owners not only have to worry about the cost of gas in driving from one job to the next. They also have to factor in that they are hauling heavy equipment, often on a trailer. The excess drag and weight of the trailer reduces fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Additionally, the equipment and machinery
(lawn mowers, gas trimmers, blowers) use tremendous amounts of gasoline everyday.Sources at http://www.PressureWashingBusiness.com (click the link to visit their website) say that business owners who follow their guidelines can service more customers in a week without driving all over town and wasting gasoline in their vans and trucks.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Thee-commerce industry should check out the number of people that wanderthrough shopping malls on weekends. Is a company like J.C. Penny,Zellers or Wal-Mart closing their doors and meekly walking off into thesunset? No- they are expanding, rebuilding, renovating and opening newoutlets in an attempt to maintain and expand their customer base.Internet marketers must do the same thing.
