That’s a bit odd. This board uses what looks like basically a double wishbone automotive-style suspension setup. While that bike uses a monoshock on a single swingarm. Bikes don’t have to deal with camber or toe like 4 wheeled vehicles do. And the shock itself is a totally different weight/force/angle/qty … And it’s a chain drive to boot.
It would make a lot more sense if they were designing a kart and pivoted to esk8 than a bike. Not sure what parallels there are between the two.
One more thing to add to the list. Lots of odd stuff in this thread. 
I would buy that in a damn near heartbeat…the price may make it a long heartbeat, but I’d buy it depending on specs
Ha at least their dream isn’t to build an electric scooter… 
I do hope they’re able to ramp production and sales of their electric skateboards pretty quickly (but not too quickly of course!). The electric motorcycle/moped market isn’t swamped yet, so maybe they have an opening. Just so long as they raise enough capital to make an electric hoverboard eventually… (haha just trying to think of market opportunities for them!)
At the moment they’re still fund raising for US expansion and focused on their skateboard
If they secure a larger round of funding then maybe they’ll go back to the E-motorcycle
Still patiently waiting for my board.
That an emrax motor?
YouTube clips up
Well, guess I found the front trucks for my mountainboard.
Curious to see it available seperately
I don’t think it will happen unfortunatly as the arms are linked to the deck, see for yourself
Well, you’d just need some sort of mounting-plate. If it is marketed for mountainboards, you would need some way of ‘evening out’ the deck’s tip angle anyway.
Hey guys got some news from Pedro
2nd batch remains on schedule
At the moment production is churning out 8 boards a week will soon increase to 30+ boards a week at existing location as they optimize their current process.
And then after completion of this round of fund raising they’ll further expand in Europe and raise capacity even more
The new remote and board will allow firmware updates over the air.
So as At wheels are rolled out, the remote and board will be updated with the necessary firmware
Other questions will be answered soon and interview will probably address a lot of concerns people have already
Link to interview coming up in 4 hours
Hope you guys liked it!
We managed to cover a lot through the interview:
the Hunterboard guys answered every question and we also had a customer that joined the stream to tell us his first impressions.
If you have any more questions, post them here and hopefuly @pedrosand will pick it up.
a few screenshots of the chat yesterday:
Honestly loving how theyre operating so far. I definitely wouldnt mind a custom colored one with bindings and whatnot some day.
Wow, what a day!
Nazaré Tow Surfing Challenge and João from Hunter Boards was kind enough to make the trip up from Lisbon for me to try their machine.
This thing is such a polished product. I had my doubts about the value of the suspension, the thickness of the 'thane, and the hub motors amongst others but this thing ate the cobbles for breakfast, feeling smoother than my acoustic LDP setup rolling on 80A cags over rough asphalt with power aplenty to boot.
Granted I can’t consider myself an experienced eskater but I did build my first electric mountainboard (4wd NoSno) back in 2014 and have owned an Exway X1 Pro and have a Lacroix Nazaré Lonestar too.
If you’re wondering why you don’t see more reviews out in the wild from your usual sources it’s because these guys are busy building boards and working to satisfy their customers. They are not embarking on an expensive advertising campaign or doling out freebees to influencers in order to get the standard “this is amazing… best board ever” reviews we’ve all now become accustomed to seeing when new products launch.
@Ricardo when do you get yours? In time for the cart track?
Note to self…read slower.
I first saw that as Nazi Tow Surfing Challenge. I was repulsed and intrigued all at the same time.
