Electric skateboard only works when plugged in?

An electric Skateboard, or e-Skateboard, is a Skateboard that is powered by an electric motor and requires a plug-in connection to function. Unlike an electric bike that has a battery and motor built into the frame, an electric Skateboard relies solely on an external power source. When plugged in, the Skateboard can provide the rider with additional speed and acceleration. However, it is important to note that without a power source, the Skateboard will not operate. This differs from traditional skateboards that rely solely on human power and do not require any external power connection.
