LIMITED EDITION
Art and board sports have always been very related. It's beautiful to see someone riding with style, and so should the product be. We've had this limited edition designed by Mecca Collective and laser engraved by Le Shape.

THE PROJECT
The Elwing Board is the result of 2 years of prototyping, testing, failing and learning. We met in 2014 in Shanghai, where we spent over 2 hours everyday commuting to work.
We believe commuting should be the fun and easy part of the day.
As board sports addicts, electric skateboards seemed to be the perfect solution to our commuting solution. But all we found on the market were electric longboards. They are super fun but too heavy and expensive.
We built a compact electric skateboard that holds an incredible amount of power. Since then we wake up everyday knowing that we’ll have our daily dose of fun.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES
Designing a product that contains mechanical, electrical and electronic constraints is not easy. We understand that delays happen and things may take a little longer than expected.
We're always planning ahead to bypass potential delays. For an on-time delivery, we're working to solve potential production problems now. Things like:
- Finishing the design of a new remote control with a larger slider to improve accuracy while braking and speeding up. We will then have to adapt the software and solve the remaining small bugs to reach the perfect settings.
- It takes about 2 months to pass FCC/CE certifications. It could take 1 more month if we fail some tests in the first try. We've started the conversation early and hope to have the certification by the end of this campaign.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What about replacement wheels?
The Elwing Board's durability has been tested and the wheels do not get damaged in a normal usage. All wheels will be available as spare parts on our website. The non-motorized wheels can be changed with any other standard 83mm wheels on the market. The motorized wheel will be available on our website as a spare parts. For mechanical safety and durability reasons, the motorized wheel is molded with the rotor. If you ever need to change the motorized wheel, you will be able to buy a new rotor with it.
Is the Elwing Board waterproof?
The motor is fully waterproof. The whole board is splash-proof but not waterproof. Just like any skateboard, Elwing's bearings could also be damaged by water. We recommend you use your Elwing Board just like you'd use any regular skateboard.
How much will it cost to replace batteries?
The battery comes included with the board. Buying a spare battery will cost around $80.
Where can I get replacement parts?
All replacement parts will be available on our online shop. All maintenance parts will be available through our customer service.
What is the rider weight limit?
We tested the hill limits (uphill climbing and downhill braking) and range using a 185 pound rider. Heavier riders will see a decrease in speed going uphill, but performance on flat ground won't change.
What is the warranty?
All board rewards will come with a one-year warranty on manufacturing defects from the day you receive it.
What is the final retail price?
The final MSRP is currently planned for $749, but depends on a lot of factors like distribution, retail options and final manufacturing costs and may go up.The difference in price between a reward board via Indiegogo and a retail model later will be significant.
Can I swap for my own deck? Can I just get a kit?
No. The deck is modified to fit exactly with the battery box and to have the exact right flex needed. Wheel wells have been designed to match with the wheels size to avoid any wheel bite, even during carving.
Can I push like a normal skateboard?
Yes you can. The in-wheel motor generates almost no drag so it just feels like riding a regular skateboard (unlike most of other electric skateboards that have a drive belt which produces a lot of drag).
Can I get more battery range?
For now we do not offer extended battery range. However if you kick-push twice when every time you start riding, you can save up to 40% of the energy the motor will consume.
Where can I try one out?
We have a couple of demo boards in San Francisco and in Shanghai. Please send us a direct message if you want to demo!
We have 2 prototypes available for a demo in
Paris. Please contact the ambassadors on
www.demooz.com.
