Self-Balancing Electric Skateboard



 

Now this is a skateboard that I might be able to ride without breaking my neck. It looks like lots of fun to ride.

“The steering control of the board is just like on a regular skate. You tilt the deck side to side. Since the deck is mounted by only 2 rubber bushings, it is able to pivot along this axis by a few degrees. An IR sensor underneath measures this tilt which causes one of the motors to drive faster than the other.”
