Skateboarder Brad Gausewitz from the United States has created an extra compact electric skateboard which is small enough to fit in your backpack. The aptly named i-Ride has been designed to provide an affordable, high-performance, go-anywhere electric skateboard that can be carried almost anywhere with ease.
Check out the video below to learn more about the i-Ride which is launched by Kickstarter this week to raise the required funds it needs to go into production. With still over a month left on the campaign, Brad has already raised his required pledge goal thanks to over 80 backers.
Our state-of-the-art e-board will revolutionize your daily commute and make going places a lot more exciting and easy. With its travel-size, sleek design, and top-notch performance, you can go anywhere with I-Ride. Its intuitive design makes it simple for anyone to hop on and ride. It can fit in an average backpack and is flight-ready. Take it anywhere.
Features and Specifications
The i-Ride Classic electric skateboard is available to back for $399 with shipping expected to take place during January 2018. This compact e-board is not just about portability; it boasts a range of impressive features that make it a standout choice for urban commuters and skateboard enthusiasts alike. The i-Ride is equipped with a powerful motor that allows it to reach speeds of up to 15 mph, making it a quick and efficient mode of transportation for short distances.
One of the key highlights of the i-Ride is its battery life. The skateboard can travel up to 10 miles on a single charge, which is more than sufficient for most daily commutes. The battery is also designed to be easily replaceable, ensuring that users can quickly swap out a depleted battery for a fully charged one if needed. Additionally, the i-Ride features regenerative braking, which helps to extend the battery life by converting some of the kinetic energy back into stored energy during braking.
Design and Usability
The design of the i-Ride is both sleek and functional. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to carry around, whether you’re hopping on a bus, climbing stairs, or storing it under your desk at work. The skateboard’s deck is made from high-quality materials that provide a sturdy and stable ride, while the wheels are designed to handle a variety of terrains, from smooth pavements to rougher surfaces.
The i-Ride also comes with a wireless remote control that allows riders to easily adjust their speed and braking with the touch of a button. The remote is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in the hand and features a simple interface that even beginners can quickly master. For added safety, the i-Ride includes LED lights that enhance visibility during nighttime rides, ensuring that riders can be seen by others on the road.
