The Sony Skateboard Patent

Sony Skateboard
Sony has recently filed for a patent for something out of their normal scope. The Sony Skateboard Patent has been spotted and it looks like a similar concept to the segway – just without the handles. As you can see from the picture above it looks like a cross between a surfboard, skateboard and hoverboard with gigantic wheels attached. The skateboard works by you moving the centre of gravity to move in the direction you want to go. For those people who have not quite got the balance to surf or skate, this design allows for 2, 3 or 4 wheels so you can choose how daring you want to be.

We do not know if this idea will be hitting our shops any time soon, but what we have learnt with Sony is to watch this space.
