Board Games

Move over, Tony Hawk. Hammacher Schlemmer is offering an earth-friendly ride just in time for the holidays. 

Its brand new motorized skateboard will take you cruising at up to a 19-mph speed. The classic longboard comes complete with a kicktail and has a 600-watt motor. Its power source is a 36-volt battery. With just a four-hour charge, riders can travel up to 10 miles. And your feet get a break – there’s a handheld wireless remote that controls acceleration and braking.

The skateboard weighs in at 40 lbs, with a 10 ½”-wide resin-and-maple-veneer deck and 4” solid urethane wheels. It can hold up to 225 lbs. You can find it at www.hammacher.com/skateboard. And if you’re in the neighborhood, check out the Hammacher Schlemmer store on East 57th Street in Manhattan.

Black Friday: An App for That

For just $4, Black-Friday shoppers can strategically map out the best plan of attack for their upcoming spree, thanks to two Apple (AAPL) iPhone apps. 

You can map out your local mall with the Mall Maps app for $3, and it will list all the stores you will find at your selected destination. Its GPS feature also finds the next-nearest mall, just in case you can’t find what you’re looking for. For $1, Black Friday Wish 1.0 keeps track of your shopping list. Then, the app’s research team finds the best bargains for each item.
