It’s probably time to create an official thread dedicated to ION Drive. I’ve been building electric skateboards since 2017 and decided last year to channel the joy and satisfaction that comes from building towards a small business venture.
A little about myself and the adventure that lead me here: The life after cancer thread
These releases are staged in batches and are purpose built with targeted design parameters in mind The goal of the V1 is to be:
- Lightweight
- Beginner friendly
- Assembled with quality non-proprietary components
- …Sexy
I am only selling boards that are 100% complete and ready to ship. There are six boards currently available for purchase (see details below). All boards were meticulously assembled by myself utilizing the standards I would expect for my own personal boards.
