  Review: RazorX Cruiser electric skateboard (productReview)
  You need a little screwdriver to get the battery in, so don't think you can just go buy the Cruiser and have a ride around the store car park. Especially considering it'll also need time to fully charge for your 40 minutes of e-board fun.

  You should be looking for a vehicle as new as possible for your money regardless of mileage. A four-year-old camper with 100,000 miles is a far better buy than a 10-year-old van with 50,000 miles. Peel back bits of rubber trim and look for 'tide marks' underneath, open and close all the doors and check for even shut lines and look under the boot carpet for fresh paint and a lack of the usual manufacturer's stickers.
