It isn't just a matter of coming up with a better bus or shared cars. Unless you want people to end up slogging the last mile of their journey in the rain, a city’s transportation system needs to be comprehensive and integrated.

The battery and motor that make things so cruisy when the board is underfoot have the opposite effect when its tucked under your arm. And it's not just the weight, with electric skateboards generally featuring a longboard form factor that can be unwieldy to carry. That's why Adam Riley of Epic Skateboards has developed the Caseboard, an electric skateboard that folds in half for carrying like a briefcase when not getting users from A to B.  <a href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/caseboard-folding-electric-skateboard/32471/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32594"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/b4-bikes-e-cruizer-test-drive/32594/">Test ride: B4 Bikes e-cruizer</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/author/stu-robarts/">Stu Robarts</a></div> <div class="date">June 18, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/b4-bikes-e-cruizer-test-drive/32594/#comments">7 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/b4-bikes-e-cruizer-test-drive/32594/pictures">13 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/b4-bikes-e-cruizer-test-drive/32594/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140719050449im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/b4-bikes-e-cruizer-22.jpg" title="A B4 Bikes e-cruizer on display at London Motorexpo (Photo: Stu Robarts/Gizmag)" alt="A B4 Bikes e-cruizer on display at London Motorexpo (Photo: Stu Robarts/Gizmag)"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Among the cars at last week's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140719050449/http://www.gizmag.com/london-motorexpo-2014/32538/" target="_blank">London Motorexpo</a> were some curious looking bikes.
