Thanks to an independent suspension system, which helps absorb vibrations before they reach your feet, the Hunter Board ($1,949) makes even bumpy cobblestones light work.“In the end, that translates into confidence,” says Pedro Andrade, [Hunter’s](https://hunterboards.com/) CEO. With a pair of motors that can hit speeds of up to 34 m.p.h. and a battery designed for replacement on extra-long rides, the board’s extra stability comes in handy. _—Patrick Lucas Austin_ **Buy now:** [Hunter Board ](https://hunterboards.com/products/hunter-board) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911426/hunter-board/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911426/hunter-board/"},"headline":"A Smoother Skate","datePublished":"2020-11-19T13:54:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:46:15.376Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911426/hunter-board/","keywords":["list","franchise","best inventions","Best Inventions 2020"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3963014a6ddad972/698a143886f68e47f36ef690/best-inventions-of-2020-Hunter-Board-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3963014a6ddad972/698a143886f68e47f36ef690/best-inventions-of-2020-Hunter-Board-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2020/5911426/hunter-board/","name":"A Smoother Skate"}}]}] ```
