An electric skateboard made with carbon fiber and kevlar
Marbel introduces an electric skateboard which weights 9 lbs, goes up to 20 mph, for 10+ mile range and controled via a mobile app.
The Marbel board was designed to be lightweight, fast, and easy to use. The entire Marbel electric skateboard weighs 9.9 pounds. It has enough power to go 20 mph uphill, will take the rider 10 miles per charge, and all of the electronics and batteries are completely integrated into the carbon fiber/kevlar deck.
On top of that, it connects with user’s smartphone to customize its riding style and even control the throttle of its board.
Carbon fiber and kevlar decks
Carbon fiber and Kevlar layup is molded into an ultralight unibody deck using a process that combines hand craftsmanship and precision machining. Unibody construction means a higher-quality, less complex design with fewer parts. That translates to a board that’s thin and light, yet durable enough to handle the rigors of serious everyday use. The board provides a smooth ride while protecting all of the critical electronics and battery cells encased inside the deck from any sort of impact or bad weather.
