Strider - Skateboard Concept
MeLikey

Description

Renderings showing unique lean-turn ability.

I wanted to create a unique style of low cost transportation. Using dual e-motor front-wheel drive and rear disc brakes. The base shape was derived from the water strider for its stability.

The skateboard steers using a unique swing arm system providing stable control, using a horizontally mounted suspension spring that flexes instead of compressing. Keeping profile and center of gravity low.
