The Nike Cruiser Board Study Seeks to Reinvent the Future of Urban Mobility 9 Mar 2021, 8:33 UTC ·

Before you go off the rails about where you can buy the Nike Cruiser Board you see, take a step back and let the awful truth hit; this is only a rendering of someone s dream and cannot be enjoyed except visually. That someone is Jaehyuk Lim, an industrial designer from South Korea; you know, the cool Korea that makes your Samsung smart phone. Sadly, Nike has nothing to do with this project; the name is used just for show.
The idea behind this board is so simple that the designer didn’t even bother to include specs of any kind; what you see is really all you get with this one. All he presents is an ideation and a word or two about the problem this vehicle is supposed to solve.

NEW CASTLE, Pa., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Penn Power, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), is upgrading infrastructure and installing technology to modernize its electric system in western Pennsylvania as part of a four-year plan that began last year to limit the number and duration of power outages. Work includes installation of new, automated equipment and technology in distribution substations and along power lines serving more than 25,000 customers in parts of Lawrence, Mercer and Butler counties. Upgrading our substations is the first line of defense in preventing power outages because they supply the electricity that flows across our power lines to our customers, said Ed Shuttleworth, regional president of Penn Power and Ohio Edison. Think of a substation like a sprinkler. Each stream of water coming out of the sprinkler hits different parts of the lawn, just like individual power lines feed electricity to various neighborhoods.
