Designed for use with roller-blades or skateboards, the POWERSKI is made up of two steering 'poles' attached to a plastic and steel casing containing twin sealed 12V electric motors driving eight inch pneumatic tyres. </p> <p class="ar_body_text snap_noengage">The speed is controlled via the trigger switch on the hand-grip that acts as both throttle and brake, and steering using the poles delivers a 'zero' turning radius. The whisper quiet POWERSKI boasts enough torque to pull an average person up just about any hill and the rechargeable battery provides a range of up to 11km depending on the terrain.We can only imagine how much fun you could have with one of these! Available for US$399 online at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080829120711/http://www.zapworld.com/">www.zapworld.com</a>, an investment in the POWERSKI will go a long way towards beating the end of ski season blues.</p> <div id="bottom_unit_1"></div><div class="chitikaPremium"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- ch_client = "maloosh";
