Elos Commuter Skateboard

The Elos Skateboard is now available and the interesting features on this skate are its packable seventeen-by-ten inch size, and the much wider base that enhances balance for newbies on the board and the shorter wheelbase that make it all the more maneuverable. The compact skateboard will quickly shift its direction and is able to make real hard angled turns, these features also make it all the more portable and easier to carry with you due to the built-in handles on the board. Elos has 72mm wheels that have a 80A durometer rating (in layman terms it means you get a smoother ride) and weighs just around 4,4 pounds. This item is ideal for commuters that just want to go from A to B with little hassle and not thrashing the sidewalk in the process. watch the video below
