A brakeboard is a skateboard fitted with a specialised truck assembly that includes a braking mechanism. ==History== The Brakeboard was first invented in 1999 by Ben Newman of Western Australia. From 2001 the first version was manufactured and sold worldwide. In 2010 The Australian Government provided an R&D grant which enabled the development of a new iteration which was released in Melbourne in January 2013. In August 2013, Brakeboard was accepted on the USA Kickstarter site for new ideas or inventions; one of the small number of Australian inventions to appear. It received support from more than 200 backers.〔(Brakeboard on Kickstarter )〕 In September 2014, a new version of the Brakeboard truck set was released featuring a removable pedal, additional colour choices and heavier-duty brake linings. A new wheel manufacturing process now includes moulded slots.〔(''Brakeboard review'' ) (Silverfish Magazine)〕 In April 2015, Brakeboard introduced a new model (3.1) with air-cooled stainless steel rotors. There are also a number of other mechanical improvements. This new brake mechanism is designed for both street commuting and long downhill runs. The new 3.1 rotors can be retro-fitted to all earlier model Brakeboard trucks 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brakeboard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
