Abstract :
This paper presents a self-balancing skateboard that runs on battery power. The equipment senses human body movements and accordingly accelerates or decelerates, depending on the orientation of the human body. The one wheel motorized skateboard would follow the motion, that of a straight tine path. However, depending on the direction given by the rider, the skateboard would stop its translatory motion and follow the direction of the rider. Since it runs on battery power and doesn´t cause any pollution it is sustainable to environment.
