Chapter 1225: Electric Skateboard

Chapter 1229 – Electric Skateboard

After around ten days, the imitation Songjiang electric bicycles disappeared from the market. Of course, Feng Yu knows not every fake Songjiang electric bicycle will be gone. There will definitely be some manufacturers that escaped from this crackdown. But they will not dare to do this so openly.

Bing City Machinery Manufacturing Group’s leaders started to go after the companies that used their patented technologies without authorization by filing lawsuits against them.

Feng Yu walked along the streets and saw some students playing with skateboards. Suddenly, he remembered a transportation tool from his previous life. Electric skateboard.

Electric skateboard originated from the US. Many youngsters in the US like to play with skateboards, which has something to do with their broad walkways.

In the future, some companies invented the Electric skateboard. It has a small motor and is powered by batteries. The user can move without kicking, and it is very popular.

But in China, not many people play skateboard. First, the walkways are not broad enough, and the parks are crowded. In fact, more people are rollerblading.

To beginners, skateboarding is difficult as it’s hard to maintain balance. It’s easy to fall over, and some designers installed a handlebar onto the skateboard, making it easier to operate.

The skateboard will be controlled by both the user’s hands and legs, and they will not fall easily.

But this electric skateboard is still slightly different from the transportation device in Feng Yu’s previous life. There is no seat, and the batteries cannot be detached.

Currently, this product can only be imported and is expensive. The material is costly, and normal material cannot be used as it will be damaged easily. It requires a good battery for it to last longer.

Feng Yu called Li Dafu over and told him about this idea.

“Electric Skateboard? Our company is developing it currently, and we have a prototype ready. We are using a high-performance lithium battery and can reach 30 km on a full charge. Even if it runs out of battery, it can be used as a normal skateboard as it is not very heavy.”

“We have also made some changes to the motor. We discovered that after adding a heat sink, the motor can last longer, but our production cost will be higher.”

“We had modified the suspensions. The overseas electric skateboards only have suspensions on the back. This is fine if the road conditions are good, but most people who buy this like to move on pedestrian walkways and not on the roads. That’s why we are adding suspensions to the front and back.”

“The body is using strengthen the aluminum alloy. It is lighter, stronger, and does not crack or bend easily. It can also last in extremely low temperatures and suitable for Bing City’s winter. The body has a foldable design, and after folding, it is about the size of a briefcase. Users can carry it on board the buses or subways.”

“Many people are staying far from their workplace and have to walk a few hundred meters to work to get on the public transport to work. So, many people will ride bicycles to the bus stops or subway stations. But parking their bikes there will incur charges and is inconvenient. Our electric skateboards can solve this problem as they can bring it up onto the buses and work. They can even charge it in their offices.”

Feng Yu laughed. He believes many people will do this. After all, they can charge it under their desk, and their leaders cannot see it.

Feng Yu thought the company has not thought about this. But the company has already designed a prototype.

There are two sizes of electric skateboards, but Feng Yu frowned when he saw the designs. Why are all these standing types? How come there are no seats?

“Didn’t you say this electric skateboard is a combination of skateboards and electric bicycles? How come there’s no seat?”

“Ah? Seats?” Li Dafu was stunned. This is an electric skateboard. When does a skateboard have a seat?

Feng Yu drew a foldable seat on a piece of the design drawing. “You must make it this way. The seat can be foldable and detachable. You had mentioned this device is for the convenience of people going to and coming back from work, or for short distance travels. But the traveling distance can reach up to 30 km. Have you tried standing up for 10 km?”

Li Dafu turned red as they have not considered this before. They had only copied overseas’ products and added some modifications.

Manager Feng can always point out what they overlook.

“This will add additional weight to the electric skateboard, but it’s not a lot. We can still keep it below 15 kg, and it will not be a problem for adults. But for kids, it will be too heavy.”

“That’s why the seats must be detachable. Kids don’t like to be seated when they play, and they will not fold it to bring it around. Most importantly, the brakes must be good and add a tail light. If our batteries are good enough, add a front light. Many people finish work in the evenings, and the skies have turned dark.”

“We had considered all these and will use low energy lights.”

“Ok. Remember, the electric vehicle is not limited to these products only. You all must not stop researching this technology. In the future, the electric car market will be bigger, and we must not lose out to other companies.”

“Manager Feng, electric cars are around for a long time. Even our country has electric trams. But it uses high electricity and has high requirements for its motor. Most importantly, it has no power. Who will want to buy it?”

“Some people buy cars is for transportation and do not like it to be too fast. You must control the speed of this electric skateboard. Limit it to 10 to 15 miles per hour and must not be higher than electric bicycles. Also, get the relevant approvals and don’t categorize them as toys.”

No one will buy electric cars? In Feng Yu’s previous life, many elderly will buy these small electric cars as transport. It is not expensive, and its handling is easy. Although it is not fast, it’s enough to meet their requirements.

“Alright. We have never stop researching this technology. But currently, we will still be producing these products as toys. Our electric toy cars are selling well. Life is getting better now. When I was young, even motorcycle is rarely seen, let alone these toy cars which can be driven.”

“Hahaha… the world is changing, and there will be more changes to come. It will be common for families to own a small car, and some families will own more than one car. Do you still remember I had told you that our products must be unique, positioned correctly, and have high quality? If you can do all these, and with our branding and marketing, the sales will not be bad!”
