E-Bikeboard
Earth friendly. Urban mobility. Lots of fun.
Fun toy or serious "green" transportation? Combine the two with the various E-Bikeboard models.
The E-Bikeboard’s combined steering and spring rear suspension is designed for carving great turns. Its folding design makes it easy to store when not in use.
The E-Bikeboard carries its two easily-removeable rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries at the front fork. The pair of 24 volt, 10 ampere-hour LiPO batteries power the 500- or 1000-watt hub motor that’s also mounted in the front fork of the Bikeboard. The result is virtually silent and emissions-free transport for up to 30 miles on one battery charge. Depending on the model, the Electric-Bikeboard has a top speed of 15, 19 or 22 mph.
The carving ability of the E-Bikeboard is determined by the springset you order: stiff, medium or carve like crazy. Most security guards who must frequently stop and stand choose the stiff springs. Braking is by twin disk brakes in the rear and a V-brake in front. Speed and braking are controlled by grips on the handlebar. The whole thing weighs 66 pounds (or less for the S500) including batteries.
LED lights - for the headlight, taillight and brake light - are connected to main batteries. The lock and security system uses a remote control key system. The price of an E-Bikeboard is just under $2,500 and it can be operated on a few cents of electricity a day.
Options include:
- 500- or 1000-watt motor
- larger wheels for rough terrain
- hard-shell storage case with generous 7 gallon capacity
- removeable seat
- rear-view mirror
- mudguards/fenders for rear wheels
- rigged for the golf course or security patroling
- choice of three spring tensions
