Skateboards with Tank Treads

Industrial designer Bryson Lovett dreamt up this concept for an electric-powered, tank-treaded skateboard called the Vertrax. It’s just a concept at present — Lovett built the one you see above by hand as a 1:1 scale model — and there are certainly some potential refinements to be made to keep it from falling over or get snarled up. But come on: It’s tank treads on a skateboard, so how can you really hate?
