When skateboards first appeared in the US in the 50s and 60s, they took the country by storm. Thousands of children, teens, and adults, took to the streets to play with this simple toy \u2013 a wooden board on four wheels.<\/p>
Over the next several decades, skateboards became more popular, with dedicated skateboard parks popping up all over the world. Individuals such as the famous Tony Hawk contributed to skateboarding becoming seen as an actual sport, rather than a child\u2019s pastime. Many skateboarding video games were also made since the 90s, further solidifying its popularity.<\/p>
Electric skateboards, with their origins in the late 1970s, however, did not become as popular until the mid-2000s. That was when the electric board parts and motors became more viable and accessible.<\/p>
Not long after, a surge in their popularity was evident, with people of all ages buying them en-masse. Everyone felt that this was a new entry in skateboarding history.<\/p>
Some faults were quickly becoming evident, though. Short battery life was a massive problem for those who liked to skate for extended periods. On the other hand, speed junkies couldn\u2019t get much out of them as the electric boards couldn\u2019t achieve enough acceleration either.<\/p>
Due to these issues, as well as some others, electric skateboards waned in popularity for a time. However, newer, more successful brands were able to make some highly needed improvements and save the industry of electric skateboards from collapsing.<\/p>
With all the improvements made over the years, the skateboarding crowd once more realized that electric skateboards were indeed worth their price. Also, they became more reliable than their predecessors.<\/p>
