Skateboards with glowing wheels

Glowing wheels / deck

— the presence of lighting in the wheels and/or deck of the skateboard. Such lighting, usually, is based on LED lamps, and it can be powered by generators driven by the rotation of the wheels — this allows you to do without batteries (however, this point should be clarified separately).

Additional lighting not only gives the board an interesting appearance but also contributes to safety at night — thanks to it, the skater becomes more visible to drivers and other road users. However, additional parts built into the wheels or the deck will inevitably degrade the performance of the skateboard. Therefore, this feature is found mainly in mini-cruisers and rollersurfers (see "Type"), intended for children and adolescents and not designed for particularly extreme riding; professional skateboards are generally not equipped with backlighting.
