The LIQUID Skateboard is an intuitive take on the electric skateboard that will provide riders with a natural way to start, cruise and stop that doesn't require a remote control.
The skateboard looks and feels just like a conventional one with a seven-ply Canadian maple plywood deck that's integrated with a 350W direct-drive rear hub motor. Riders can simply push off like they would with a conventional skateboard to start the cruise control functionality, while additional pushing will increase the cruising speed. Placing the food over the rear sensor activates cruise control and turns it off as required.
The LIQUID Skateboard has a 90Wh lithium-ion Samsung battery rated to provide up to 7.5-miles of range per charge.
