About tea-time last night (Monday) i saw a bloke whizzing up Dundas St on what looked like motorised skateboard!
Made a whining sound so it seems to have been electrically powered..
But it had a joystick arrangement (more like a scooter really).. & pram-wheels by the looks of it, not underneath as on a skateboard.
Wonder what could be done with an Arduino-based control system?
Sometimes s-board riders need to be able to 'side-step'-steer - an arrangement not unlike that on the Honda Prelude 4-wheel steering: below about 35km/hr the rear wheels point away from the front wheels, progressively decreasing the amount of 'steer' until above 35 km/hr they start to point in the same direction as the front wheels - a 'side-step' as opposed to a 'twirl' (if that makes sense)..
