According to skateboard and longboard retailer Twelve Board Store, electric skateboards open up a whole new world of possibilities, giving riders the ability to ride off-road and uphill without breaking a sweat.

Balance is still important, however, and experts recommend riders stand with their weight over the back of the board and then shift their weight forward when braking.
