MM Blog: An All-Terrain e-Board

A look at the Triborg e-board that brings dirt bike design to skateboarding.

Lansing, Michigan’s Triborg Skateboards are the newest, strongest and most versatile power boards on the market today. Most electric skateboards on the market have a four-wheel design, but only one of these wheels is connected to the motor which can cause a skateboard to twist in one direction while accelerating and in the other direction while braking. Contrary to that design, the Triborg features a centered rear wheel that helps maintain the board’s balance at all times.The frame is TIG-welded from laser-cut aluminum with a dirt bike-influenced rear suspension that helps ease over bumps and obstacles while keeping the drive wheel on the ground for maximum traction.

The Triborg has a range of just under 20 miles with speeds up to 20 mph. Every Triborg is made-to-order so colors, wheel type, wheel color, motor wattage, battery capacity, aluminum finish and grip tape are all customizable at request. Each skateboard can take 1-4 months to make depending on availability of parts and begins shipping to Kickstarter backers in August. 

SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Does the Triborg make a great addition to personal people movers? Could you see these used in a manufacturing or warehouse setting?
