Created by Philip Thompson

Electric skateboards are cruising into town, ready to kick up the fun as the hottest trend on the block. Joining the Ride Often Club on these wheeled wonders is the latest way to show off your cool moves.

With a slick smartphone app, riders unlock the electric skateboard magic, zipping around at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, feeling the wind in their hair. But, be cautious – take a spill, and you might end up with more bumps than a cat on a pogo stick.

Electric skateboards have a few unexpected twists, featuring cuts, fractures, and head injuries – a real cliffhanger, but not the entertaining kind. Some mishaps occur in traffic or when riders decide to play daredevil.

Parents, here's the golden rule for the electric skateboard adventure: kids under 16, dreaming of driver's licenses, should steer clear. Safety first, little adventurers!

If electric skateboards haven't hit your town's streets, meet the cast: non-motorized, battery-powered ones, and the trendy electric skateboards, mingling in various cities.

All electric skateboards share a common thread – a higher risk of head injury than your trusty bike. Helmets are the unsung heroes, often left hanging in the wardrobe – better safe than sorry, right?

Thanks to electric skateboard-sharing apps, kids on electric skateboards are on the rise. Parents, get ready to play Sherlock Holmes of skateboard safety. Some cities have age restrictions, but minors find a sneaky loophole. It's a tricky game.

Cities with electric skateboard rentals are like adventure playgrounds. Learn the electric skateboard waltz before the spin – it's not your grandma's bike. No need to pedal; these babies accelerate with the grace of a cat on a hot tin roof.

Read the fine print: breaking age restrictions may lead to a date with law enforcement. Rebellious teens might require parents to don their courtroom capes and pay a fine – a twist worthy of a courtroom drama!

To all you electric skateboard enthusiasts, ride safe, stay cool, and remember, it's not a two-wheel affair – it's a skateboard party. Share the Ride Often Club wisdom with your college crew – safety in numbers!
