E-boards Market

E-boards Market: Introduction

• E-boards are similar to conventional boards except that they use an electric motor for speed control. E-skateboards have emerged as personal transporters during recent years. The battery that fuels the electric motor is mounted under the deck of the boards. The motors are either attached under the deck or inside the wheels. The rider makes a turn by tilting the board to one side or the other. E-boards usually weigh between 10-12 kg and the top speed of these boards can vary from 10 to 60 km per hour. Primary electric components of E-boards include battery, electronic speed controller (ESC), remote control, and bluetooth transmitters.
