Hoverboard Technologies is eager to introduce The All-New GeoBlade™ 500 - One-Wheeled Electric Land Surfer

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Announcing the GeoBlade™ 500, an exciting alternative personal electric transport that delivers the excitement and thrill of surfing on land.

Two years ago, Hoverboard Technologies revealed its "Hoverboard", super-high-end, one-narrow-wheeled electric skateboard, or "Land Surfer".  Market response was overwhelming, but so was the negative reaction to the $4,000 price!  Rather than complete the product as it was, Hoverboard Technologies went back to the drawing board and developed the GeoBlade™ 500.  In addition to making their Land Surfing experience almost 1/3 the price (at $1,495), this was the company's chance to deploy everything they had learned to make the product completely responsive to the market's entire enumeration.

With an internal, die-cast aluminum frame and an external polycarbonate shell, the GeoBlade™ 500 weighs in at only 18 pounds, 7 pounds lighter than its predecessor.  A soft pneumatic tire created a much smoother ride and greater control, especially over bumps or rough terrain and has slashed the learning-curve to the point where many people can ride it with little or no practice. This new feature allows the rider to truly experience the sensation of surfing or floating on land.

The GeoBlade™ 500 has NO Remote Control. The controls and sensors are built directly into the device which allows the rider to maneuver it by simply shifting their body-weight.  A single, removable battery will allow for a range of 7 Miles and over 14 Miles with two batteries installed.  Charging Time has been reduced to only 2.5 hours from zero to full-charge.  Top speed is 16 mph, although riders are encouraged to gear-up if they wish to go faster than they can easily run.

The GeoBlade™ 500 is equipped with programmable onboard lighting and patented ground-detecting "lidar" (Sonar, but using light) to keep the board parallel to the changing terrain so it can climb and descend hills without scraping the stable, low deck.

Once mastered, the GeoBlade™ 500 feels like a new and indispensable addition to one's body.  The rider just leans-into the direction they want to go and the GeoBlade™ 500 carries them there like a silent magic carpet.
