The Inboard M1 electric skateboard comes with in-wheel electric motors based on the company’s The Manta Drive™. Weighing in 14.5 lb (6.5 Kg), the Inboard M1 e-skateboard uses a 43.2v, 97 Wh Lithium-ion battery pack that is swappable, as we mentioned earlier, it’s airplane proof so that you won’t part with your board on those wacky flights. It can handle hills of up to 15% and takes 90 minutes to recharge the Inboard M1’s battery. And of course, for the rest of humanity, a custom mode setting allows you to reach 24 MPH (38 Km/H), which hasn’t been released yet.Īs far as range, the Inboard M1 offers 7-10 miles, based on the same weight and road surface mentioned previously. The beginner rider mode tops out a 5 MPH (8 Km/H), while the intermediate reaches 14 MPH (22 Km/H) and the advanced one bolts at 22 MPH (32 Km/H).
It also comes with another nifty feature, a three riding mode system beginner, intermediate, and advanced. With a top speed of 22 MPH based on a 155-165 lb rider across a flat and smooth asphalt, the Inboard M1 e-skateboard already sets the bar high. Technically Speaking, the Inboard M1 Electric Skateboard

How about in-hub electric motors, an airplane-compatible swappable battery, integrated LED lights, and a splash-proof exterior battery pack that doesn’t even look like it’s there? And if you’re still not impressed yet, how about a composite deck made of an inverted 3D poplar wood core, full-sandwich ABS sidewalls, and wrapped in the same fiberglass top sheet found in premium snowboards and skis? Also throw in integrated electronics, reinforced truck-mounting points, and resilient TPU nose, tail bumpers at the rails yield a remarkably light and durable platform optimized for a more responsive ride, the Inboard M1 e-skateboard is chock full of goodies. Compound that with the fact that they all rely on an underbelly battery pack and an electric motor, the question begs to be asked: how can this be improved upon? So far, so good, but Inboard Technology decided to up the ante with some technically advanced features in its Inboard M1 electric skateboard.Įlectric skateboards are all the rage, but let’s face it, they all look more or less the same, with a bit of variety in aesthetics. Take a fairly flat surface, bolt on two trucks with four wheels, and for the electric version, add motor and battery.
The same holds true with electric skateboards these days. There are skateboards, and there are skateboards.
