I've been wonder about that myself. To the extent that [url=http://boomzilla.neocities.org/ep-bike.html]I drew up some house rules for bicycles[/url] (morph-powered, not powered motorcycles or go-cycles). Well, morph-powered, but also augmented by a small electric motor (in the versions I designed). I'd use the Freerunning skill to handle tricky maneuvering, to boost speed, etc, for skateboards and skates. Freerunning seems to be *the* default "athletic" skill for non-climbing, non-freefall athleticism. Maybe "Pilot: Wheeled" for maneuvering bikes (but still Freerunning for speed boost?). As for speed boost, I can research that later, but I'm sure there are stats pages for e.g. speed skaters--I looked up typical Tour De France speeds for my bike stats. As for cost, well remember the cheapest "vehicle" in canon is the robomule, which is ridable. Robomule costs "Low". So either your skateboard is Cheap, or provides better performance than a robomule.

[i]Actually[/i] That's a different story. The Hendo is a working maglev concept (but the builders aren't interested in the board applications, they want to use the magnetics for other applications). The hoverboard was just a publicity thing. The prank was a different thing, called HUVr. Also, Guinness apparently credited a guy for longest hoverboard flight just last month, using a propeller driven model at a height of about 5m.

I did not say we had viable hoverboards, just a functional one. That being said, give it 120+ years of R&D and the wonder of nanofabrication, the EP world could probably produce small maglev or ionic devices that'll prop a medium-sized morph a short distance off the ground for cheap. Or at least, proportionally cheap. If you can buy a vector thrust flying car for like, 30,000 ISC, something smaller and maybe less complex could be proportionally cheaper. I stand by my idea of just using them like the Mobility Systems for robotic shells though.
