Bladeboard

A fast (and sometimes dangerous) form of transport. The bladeboard is simply a metal or plastic rod 40 to 60cm in length, with several wheels mounted along it. At either end are lugs which can clip onto the bottom of suitably designed blader boots. The wheels (usually with the exception of a larger balance wheel at one end) are usually simple metal discs with quite a sharp edge. This means that the wheels can be pushed into the narrow groove which protects the power feed in many inner-city monorail systems, drawing enough current along the length of the board to power a light motor in the larger end wheel.
