Abstract: An engine driven skateboard, with an engine assembly attached to the platform, allowing for propelling the skateboard while maintaining conventional means for riding and controlling the skateboard. The engine driven skateboard includes a platform upon which the rider stands, at least one front wheel rotatably mounted underneath the front end section of the platform and at least one wheel rotatably mounted underneath the back end section of the platform. A drive wheel is rotatably attached to the engine, with a force transfer means for transferring force from the engine to the drive wheel so as to cause the drive wheel to rotate. The engine and drive wheel are fixedly attached to the platform, closer to either the front end section or back end section of the platform than to the center of the platform. The engine and drive wheel may be attached so that the drive wheel is positioned in front of or behind the front or back wheels.
