A teenager has built an electric skateboard using a computer that cost just a few pounds.
Matthew Timmons-Brown, 17, from Cambridge, designed it using a Raspberry Pi Zero.
The credit-card sized computer was initially given away with a magazine, and now sells for £4.
The modified skateboard, which can reach speeds of up to 18mph, is operated with a games console controller. Matthew said he had no plans to sell his creation to the general public.
The sixth-form student's next ambition is to create a Mars Rover.
