## Bajaboard Pantera

Australian electric skateboard manufacturer Bajaboard has come up with an outrageous new product: [the Pantera](<https://newatlas.com/fastest-electric-skateboard-bajaboard-pantera-45mph/58578/#p559679>), an off-road electric skateboard with more than 10 horsepower it uses to scream along at a staggering 45 mph (72 km/h).

To put that in perspective: popular paved road electric longboard brand Boosted's most powerful skateboard tops out at 24 mph (38 km/h) using a [2,100 watt motor](<https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/10/17532568/boosted-board-stealth-electric-skateboard-review-price-specs>) — and that's plenty of power already.

## Beast-Mode

Electric skateboards are becoming an increasingly popular option, especially when trying to solve the "last-mile problem" — getting home or to work from the subway or train for instance.

Bajaboard's Pantera is a little different. The beastly off-roader is technically not even meant for public roads, so it's definitely not for everybody — though its range is also respectable thanks to a massive 1.1 kWh battery: 28 miles (45 km).

## Raw Power

But luckily, the Pantera's sheer power is far more likely to be intended to get you *up* the mountain, rather than down.

"It was more of a technical demonstration than anything else, but we thought we'd make it into something that's available for a very niche consumer," Bajaboard's George Li [told *New Atlas*](<https://newatlas.com/fastest-electric-skateboard-bajaboard-pantera-45mph/58578/>).

Niche is the keyword here: who knows what could happen if you fall off an off-road electric skateboard while gunning down a mountain at over 45 mph.

## Author
I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida.
