Zboard 2 Blue is the cheaper, lighter, and less powerful twin of Zboard 2 Pearl. Both boards are uniquely designed and have deck sensor controls that offer interesting riding experience.

Pros
Pro It offers a unique riding experience
The Zboard Blue is controlled by two pressure pads instead of a handheld remote. Pressing on the front pad increases forward speed; pressing on the back brakes or sends you in reverse. Having controls different from the majority of alternatives makes this board more fun but also more challenging to ride, even for those who have experience with electric skateboards.
Cons
Con Steep learning curve
ZBoard has a unique design. While it is similar to other skateboards in many ways, riding ZBoard doesn't come naturally, even for experienced skaters. Controlling the board's speed and direction using the pressure pads can be difficult to accomplish while remaining balanced, so lots of practice is necessary before riding this in a crowded environment.

Con Can be dangerous
Cool concept, but if one foot comes off or moves over the board stops. Bye bye!!
Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Still not shipped
Even though backers on Indiegogo backed the project as far back as two years ago, they have yet to receive their boards. Even on their own storefront, current orders are shown as shipping Oct-Nov (2016).
