# The Electric Poodle Project

In [episode 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKWEWvGtC6o) of [my video blog](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCopSjr1a2QgRvm-yJRqcPpA) I showcase the Electric Poodle project — a motor on a stick that was supposed to pull you forward on a skateboard and roller skates. Unfortunately it didn’t work that well because it was too heavy and not very portable, and hard to use.

Here are a few similar projects that I discovered before and after building my prototype — [E-Paddle](http://www.epaddle.net), [Speedbat](https://vimeo.com/5702197) and [Kickstick](http://www.riserobotics.com/kickstick/).
