Zip Board

Zip Boards are small hover boards made of two flat disks connected by a metal bar. They are extremely common, used in almost every System on the Net. Zip boards require energy dispersed throughout a System to function. If a city is powered down any zip board currently in use will have no power and cannot operate.
The lower side of a zip board will glow yellow when in use. They can only go so high in a System's sky until the lower side turns red. They may burn out if they are forced to go too high. Ironically, the Web Riders use them in deep cyberspace with no limits.
Zip boards were Enzo Matrix's favorite way to travel when he was a kid. When Bob's Car failed to run, he would use a zip board to get around Mainframe. Dot Matrix used to have a car, but she stopped using it early on and completely relied on zip boards to get around.
Enzo once changed the processing speed of Mainframe by using the Clock Speed Room. Everyone in the city mentally slowed down and couldn't operate most of the world they lived in. Dot Matrix was confused by zip boards and initially thought they were hats and began selling them.
After Dot's Diner was destroyed, Cecil used a zip board to get around.
Using a design from the Super Computer, Enzo used two zip boards and modified them into a lightweight 2-seater Air Kart.
The pirates of the Saucy Mare used a wooden looking zip board to move to and from the ship. They do not seem to require power from a city to operate. Perhaps their power is gained from the ships power generators.
Hexadecimal melted all transport including zip boards when she infected the System paint program.
During the early days of the Viral Wars, Enzo Matrix, AndrAIa, and Mouse were on zip boards heading into a Game Cube together. Because AndrAIa and Mouse's icons were untested, and they could get trapped in the Game, AndrAIa stole Mouse's zip board to keep her from entering the Game. That way only one of them took the risk for the first try of their new icons.
Interestingly, Little Enzo found a secondary use for zip boards, when Phong advised to watch up on older 'True Stories of Mainframe' in the Read-Only Room the small Sprite positioned his right next to large VidWindow, sitting on one disc like a hovering comfortable chair.
Bob also used a zip board in this fashion when he examined information from the Archives after Mouse hacked into the System for him.
== The ReBoot Multiuniverse ==
Akari can't use any zip boards due to her poor balance as a result of an underdeveloped gait. Instead, she relies on her Flying-Type Pokémon to get around, aside from riding on a Dodrio or Rapidash for speedy travel.
Samus doesn't seem to use a zip board neither, not even any of Akari's Pokémon nor any of the Smashers.
