And with this latest trend of micro-mobility and “last-mile” vehicles, it might come as a surprise that the first motorized skateboards exist since the early 70s. But the Boosted board elevated the game. If this company had successful products, with millions in investment, a cult-like following, and even the endorsement of one of YouTube’s biggest stars, why did it fail?
