Electric skateboards are nothing new, and those that go offroad have been around for years.

But here’s one that can transition from street to mountain path in under two minutes by swapping out the wheels.

Altered Electric Skateboards’ Pro-Line V3 Dual Sport is designed to let you switch from street trucks to offroad trucks in about 90 seconds, according to its Kickstarter campaign.

Skaters would be able to use the same board for getting around town and carving up dirt paths, says Los Angeles-based Altered.
