THE MOVPAK

Movpak is an electric skateboard that folds into a backpack, for urban commuters. From the outside, it looks like a normal backpack, with zippers and pockets with enough space for all your daily needs, on your back.  However attached to the backpack, you’ll find your portable electric vehicle. By pulling a dedicated handle, the board effortlessly slides out, and using the small remote, you have full control of the speed and braking. To recharge, simply plug the charger into any standard outlet for two hours.

 

Commuters share the same challenges. They often deal with heavy traffic jams if by car, long walks to the train or bus if by public transportation, and of course carrying a bag or purse, to store their daily needs. This is why the Movpak is the best solution for the urban commuter. The backpack can carry everything you need, doubling as a personal electric vehicle capable of speeds up to 15 mph, and a range of 6 miles per charge. There are no fumes, no wires and no damage to the environment.

 

PERFECT FOR COMMUTERS

Movpak the hybrid smart backpack and electric skateboard, is revolutionizing transportation in urban cities, empowering people to move through the world in a more efficient way. 

 

BACKPACK ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION

For the most part we always know when we’ll need a backpack. We never know when we’ll need to get somewhere fast. It’s light enough to use as your go-to backpack and be ready for those rushed moments.

Movpak adds a clever backpack component so the whole thing folds up and away for when you need to dash down some subway steps or go inside a building for work.

 

 UNFOLD AND GO!

Inside the backpack you'll find your portable vehicle. Simply pull a dedicated handle and the board effortlessly slides out. You have full control at your fingertips of the speed and braking system using the provided wireless remote.

 

35L BACKPACK

 

GREAT FOR STUDENTS

 

RIDE UP TO FIFTEEN MILES PER HOUR

Movpak is a fast and reliable portable transportation. Compared with regular bicycles or other portable electric vehicles, it weighs less than half of most of them. If you compare to a foldable electric bike, Movpak is lighter, simpler to fold/unfold and has storage capacity. All the other electric vehicles you have to carry it with one hand while in the other you have a backpack. The average person is able to learn how to ride the Movpak in about 10 minutes.

 

SIX MILES RANGE WITH ONE CHARGE

 

MOVPAK CAN BE FULLY CHARGED IN ONLY TWO HOURS 

To recharge, just simply plug in the included charger into any standard outlet. It's that easy.

 

EASILY SWAPPABLE BATTERIES

Six miles range is more than enough for most commuters but you can double the range with easily swappable batteries.

USE THE BACKPACK FOR EXTRA SUPPORT

Learning how to ride a Movpak is much easier than any other board sports. First, because it has motors, with brakes, that prevents the Movpak from sliding when you get on. Second and best, you can press your foot and calf against the rear part of the backpack. This will give you added support, stability and provide you more balance.

STRONG AND FLEXIBLE

Movpak has a lightweight laminated deck that's constructed using a combination of wood, metal and Kevlar compounds allowing it to be strong and flexible at the same time.

 Is Movpak ok to travel on airlines?

Yes! Movpak is also airport friendly by both fitting in most overhead compartments on commercial flights and also by meeting battery size limit restrictions for traveling with. The pull out handle makes rolling Movpak super easy and convenient. 

We recommend you keep the packaging in case you want to ship your Movpak somewhere, or travel with it as checked luggage (never with batteries)!

Does it have a brake?

Yes! Just push the remote trigger backwards, and it will start braking. In fact, the brakes are regenerative, which mean that you will be recharging your battery each time you break.

I've never ridden a skateboard, snowboard, surfboard, or any kind of boards. Can I learn how to ride a Movpak?

Of course! Learning to ride a Movpak is actually much easier than all these board sports. First, because it has motors, with brakes, that prevents the Movpak from sliding when you get on. Second and best, you can press your foot and calf against the rear part of the backpack. This will give you added support, stability and provide you more balance. You can use your calf to make turns, just leaning forwards and backwards.

Can I make skateboard tricks with it?

We know how fun it is to ride, but we do not recommend this. Although it is very resistant and durable, the Movpak was designed to be a personal vehicle for transportation, not for extreme sports.

What is the maximum rider weight?

We suggest 240 lbs. However, the range, speed and hill climbing may vary according to the riders weight.

Is the Movpak waterproof?

The backpack is water repellent, and the motor is sealed. You can ride it in a light rain, and humid terrains, but never in heavy rain, with water on the pavement.

What are the materials used to make a Movpak?

Movpak was designed with the latest technology and materials, made from the same special aluminum used in the manufacturing of aircrafts and satellites.

We've chosen to use a lithium battery, a powerful brushless motor, all beautifully packaged on a light weight laminated deck that's constructed using a combination of wood, metal and Kevlar compounds allowing it to be strong and flexible at the same time.

We've redesigned the remote many times, again using the latest technologies, making it more appealing and comfortable, using simple one touch buttons for acceleration, braking and even one for reversing.

Is the charger universal i.e, can be used in different countries where the voltage is different?

Yes, Movpak's input voltage is 100-240v~50/60hz 2.0A. Although you may need an adaptor to fit your outlet since Movpak comes with American standard plug.

What type of braking system does MOVPAK use?

MOVPAK uses a regenerative braking system to help sustain the batteries charge.

If the battery ends, can the owner use the skate as a regular one?

6 miles is a long range. Research indicates that most of commuters are averaging about 3 miles everyday going to work or school and back, so we thought that 6 miles would be more than enough. Besides, you can always charge it in any regular outlet in just 2 hours or even get an extra easily swappable battery to double the range. So, that is why we didn't design this Movpak model for using it as a regular skateboard.

Can we charge devices in the Movpak. How is that?

Absolutely! Movpak comes with a USB port so you can charge smartphones, tablets and other gadgets. 

Isn't the backpack too heavy to carry?

If you compare it with a regular backpack, then yes, it weighs 16lbs. But we are talking about a portable electric vehicle, so compared with a regular bike or other portable electric vehicles it weighs less than half of most of them. Also, we've added a really cool feature that allows you to roll the MOVPAK instead of wearing it, making that option perfect for inside of buildings or even going through the hallways at your school or university. If you are going upstairs or downstairs then go ahead, wear it using the straps and you will be fine.
