They have patents, sales, AND proof of concept, so that isn’t a hurdle they need to jump. Inboard is an interesting company it’s part technology, part cool. Successful Kickstarter products always have a shot in the Tank, especially when an early investor in Kickstarter is on the panel. My 12-year-old proclaimed it “AWESOME!” For that reason, I’m in. I know my kids, both the adult children and the young one, would LOVE to have one. Similar products are selling well, including the oft criticized hover board. That said, urban dwellers wants cheap transportation. My son recently bought a car for a hundred bucks more than the M1! I am not a customer, but my kids could be. I NEVER get on them, I haven’t skateboarded since the early 1980’s and I wasn’t that good at it then.
The youngest has two: a regular board and a longboard. This company needs funds to keep production moving, but can a Shark ride a skateboard? My Take on the M1 by InboardĪll my kids all have skateboards. Motorized skateboards, skates, and all other forms of easily used transportation are all the rage on campuses and in cities where millennials are shunning cars for cheaper, greener transportation. The M1 is the latest in personal transportation. Their current challenge is keeping production in line with demand. It comes with a hefty $1399 price tag, but the skating community is buying them up like hotcakes.
They raised nearly half a million bucks on Kickstarter to get the business off the ground and they are currently shipping their product. Riders control the speed, when under power, with a hand-held remote or through a smart phone app. The motor is so small, if you didn’t know it was an electric skateboard, you’d think it was a “normal” skateboard. The technology of the Manta Drive gives riders a 7-10 mile range per charge. The internal “Manta Drive” powers the rear wheels directly, creating the smoothest electric skateboard ride out there. Ryan Evans, Dave Evans, and Chris Haley of Inboard Technology get some Sharks to take a ride on their M1 Electric Skateboard when they pitch their business in Shark Tank episode 807.
