Longboards, which are very popular among young people, are facing fierce competition - the compact Elos skateboard. In contrast to longboards, which are long, these skateboards are extremely short and as such very convenient to carry. Due to their egg-shaped shape (slightly reminiscent of a pickaxe), they enable stable and just as nimble driving as their bigger 'brothers'.
In recent years, the youth has been traditional skateboards replaced with longboards. Now this too means of transport for young people getting an alternative – Elos, a longboard that 'jumped together'. The creators of Elos claim that it brings all the driving characteristics of longboards, which, precisely because of their shape and size, offer more stable driving than classic skateboards, as they allow for a larger gap.
Elos provides all that, for the sake of it shorter wheelbases, chassis width (180 mm) and wheel width (71 millimeters) it is even more agile and responsive, not to get started on the fact that when we don't use it, much easier to carry around (it can be carried due to the holder like a bag) and put away.
