Hardware ideas (feddit.ro)

Hi! I'll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I'm posting this to ask for inspiration.

What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you'd like to see implemented? What is a problem that you'd want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?

I know this is very vague, but I'm curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)

To give some ideas as well, maybe there could be some addons powered from the electric longboard, but I can't really see how they could be useful. The main problem I see is that you'd need a wire coming from the longboard to the user / addon. this seems dangerous.

Maybe you can have the longboard battery be detachable, or have a smaller detachable batterry different from the main one that you could use for other tasks? (both being chardged either externally or through regenerative braking)

But tbh, I think such a project would overcomplicate and miss the point of the longboard.
