TRADITIONAL SKATEBOARDS

We can differentiate them based on the components that make it up, the characteristics they have, the weight, the extra accessories they have...

In the same way, they are designed to move with them, however we are going to find a limitation and that is that for their movement we only have the impulse that we can do with our body. This is something very positive if we are looking to exercise our body, but it will not be useful if we are looking to travel with them to go to work, university... and it will not be practical if we live in an area with many height differences, since sometimes the displacement can be very difficult even impossible if the ground is very uneven.
