A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

At Ivoryboards we are invested in the future, a future where portable electric skateboards dominate the short-range transportation market. Electric skateboards not only transform your commutes from a chore into something to look forward to, but they cut down on your fuel costs, let you forget the hassle of parking and help reduce pollution. When creating the Ivoryboard we had one main goal in mind, to create a high-performance electric skateboard at the lowest price possible, and that's exactly what we've done. Thanks to help from our partners, Onan and Shredlights, the IvoryBoard is amongst some of the best performing boards on the market with a top speed of 25mph, 30% hill climb capability and a range of 18 miles. All while starting for a price of only $550 USD here on Kickstarter, far below the prices of any other comparable boards (see the comparison table below to see for yourself). By having such affordable prices, we hope to make electric skateboards as accessible to as many people as possible so that we can help make the future of transportation smarter. Help support our project and let's do it.

We’re planning to stick around as a company so we want to provide the best possible customer support. We are also providing a one year warranty with all the boards we ship out.

This price-spec comparison table shows the enormous advantage the IvoryBoard has over our major competitors currently in the market. While the IvoryBoard matches or betters the specs of other boards on the market, it sells for approximately a third of the price right now on this campaign. Not bad.

IvoryBoards

To ensure our riders are safe on our board we have included several safety features. The first of which is integrating ‘Low’ and ‘High’ power settings to allow users to ride based on their skill level by adjusting the board’s acceleration and speed. Next, we integrated front lights so that you can have a clear view at night and stay visible to cars. We then equipped the board with regenerative braking which allows for descents to be safely navigated as well as for riders to safely travel alongside other vehicles. Finally, the board was designed to be water resistant meaning you can ride it knowing that a wet patch or a bit of rain won’t ruin it.

Dual Hub Motors

We wanted the IvoryBoard to work exactly like a standard longboard when powered off, so we built the motors directly into the wheels rather than using a belt system. This hub motor design allowed us to create a streamlined, efficient and frictionless ride that glides freely like a normal skateboard. This means that if the board runs out of power or you just feel like going old school, you can simply push it like a standard longboard for a smooth ride.

Ride it like a normal longboard

Although the app for the board is currently in development, it still requires thorough testing to ensure its safety as well as approval from the Android and Apple app stores. As such, the application will become available to our users within 6 months of the end of our Kickstarter campaign.

App preview

Our remote was designed with two main aspects in mind, safety and usability. The remote includes a finger hold making it extremely easy to hold and reducing the chances of it being dropped mid-ride and possibly causing a crash. To allow all level users to enjoy the IvoryBoard safely, we’ve integrating two power settings into the remote. Low: soft acceleration and limited top speed. High: full acceleration and top speed.

Battery & Remote

The removable batteries were designed to be easily snapped in and out allowing for the board’s range to be easily increased with spare batteries on hand. The removable batteries were designed for durability, letting you concentrate on riding the board rather than maintaining it.

Detailed Sketches

By teaming up with Onan, we have managed to create an upgraded, custom, motor kit for our boards that give it its formidable performance and reliability.

Every extra Samsung lithium-ion battery pack costs $195AUD.
