This is me on a Swedish Spark. The word translates to “kick”. It is a little thing that we use to transport ourselves up here in the north of Sweden. It may look weird and archaic (it is), but it is really quite a convenient way of getting around. Speed wise it ranks up there in between running and bicycling, and it takes only thirty seconds to learn.
Unfortunately the Spark is totally dependent on an icy surface, or I’m sure it would go on and replace cars in many parts of the world.
