the ‘chargeboard’ is a longboard that generates its own electricity through two dynamo’s in the rear axles and stores it into a powerbox. by taking advantage of the product’s movement, the two transformers generate 6 volts each which is then stored. this means that your phone can be plugged into charge whilst using the built-in speakers to play music. one hour of cruising provides enough power to enliven your mobile eight times by accumulating the kinetic energy until you need it.
