Electric skateboard
The creation of the electric skateboard was inspired by the fact that I mostly use public transport. I live in Dunakeszi with my family, I go to school and to training by train. The station is relatively far from us, and as a student I find it hard to wake up early, so getting to the train always meant rushing, mostly running. Meanwhile, I saw working adults commuting on electric scooters. That is when my imagination started: what if I also began the day with something similar? One day on the way home from school the idea popped up — what if I tried to make an electric skateboard? Because at school, in addition to IT, we also studied electrical engineering for hardware, creating it was not that difficult. Figuring out how it actually works was the bigger challenge. The electric skateboard is built from simple electronics: two 5000mAh batteries feed an ESC (electronic speed controller) that manages the motor and the remote control. You can say these three parts are the heart of the vehicle.
Since then I ride my electric skateboard whenever I can, because it lets me leave later.
I believe every vehicle will be electric by 2030. Self-driving cars with electric drivetrains will dominate, and completely autonomous vehicles will take over from traditional diesel and petrol ones. I strongly support protecting the environment and believe that we can produce electricity from increasingly efficient renewable sources. This would be ideal, because electricity is often called green energy. Diesel will run out one day and burning it harms the environment, while batteries can be reused many times and later recycled when they reach end of life.
If you enjoy a sporty or slightly risky lifestyle, an electric skateboard is a really fun way to get to work or school.
