As fun as a jetski be when you get on the water , they can also be a bit of a pain to hale around if you do n’t pay for a permanent dockage . So a crew of designers in Wisconsin create the BomBoard , a lightweight and highly portable personal watercraft that can be easily disassembled and tossed in the bole of a compact railway car .
The BomBoard comes aside into four modest modules that can be assemble in about a minute , its creator claim . And while the powertrain is the profound component at almost 80 pounds , it ’s still easier to brawl all those pieces into the trunk of a car than suffer to back a trailer down a ramp .
With an impressive top upper of around 40 mph , the BomBoard can be ridden in either sit down or standing positions . And because it ’s so lightweight it ’s evidently very nimble on the water .
As for pricing , the BomBoard wo n’t really be available until early 2015 , but its creators are optimistic that it will sell for below $ 3,500 — at least that ’s their goal . So it ’s still an expensive toy , but it ’s far cheaper than other PWCs already on the market , without the supply expenses of a trailer or storage at a marina . [ BomBoardviaGizmag ]
