# Drive Wire: Check Out This Eight-Wheeled Longboard

Today in gear we take a look at possibly the coolest or weirdest looking longboard ever, the Stair Rover by Allrover. This eight-wheeled board is a modern take on the traditional longboard, but now allowing riders to effortlessly roll over road imperfections and even down stairs. Thanks to a thermoplastic chassis, ply maple deck, titanium trucks and shock absorbers, riders are able to take the worry out of city riding. Although this modern board is loaded with high-tech goodies, the Stair Rover still weighs under ten pounds and it a perfect alternative to the crowded subways and buses we have all come to hate. Ride on dudes.
