ZBoard launches crowdfunding campaign for its San Francisco Special, pre-orders start at $1199

Remember that snazzy special edition electric skateboard we saw roll out at Expand? It's almost ready for launch: ZBoard has launched a Dragon Innovation crowdfunding campaign for its San Francisco Special. Although the limited edition ZBoard's specs haven't changed since we saw it earlier this year (20 mile range at 19 MPH) its facade has been given a few tweaks. In addition to wearing a brighter shade of orange, the San Francisco Special now features LED headlights, working tail lights and digitally printed grip tape with a redesigned skyline of its namesake city. Of course, getting your hands on one of the special boards isn't cheap, pre-orders for the electric powered maple decks start at $1199. Current ZBoard owners will be able to upgrade, jumping from a ZBoard Pro to the San Francisco Special for $399, or tuning up a Classic for $699. Looking for a new ride?
