The ‘Koala Boards’ magnetic skateboard is fitted with a pair of magnets which enable it to be attached to the matching backpack, which also happens to be fitted with a pair of magnets placed at a similar orientation. Additional mechanisms help to further keep the skateboard securely fastened to the backpack, with the board said to be able to cope with nearly 60 kg of pulling force.
What’s more, Mendelow has accounted for the fact that not every skateboarder will want to use this specific backpack, which is why users can also opt to purchase the skateboard and an attachment kit that they can use in conjunction with their favorite pack.
Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the complete skateboard and backpack set can be reserved for a pledge of $299.
