Description:
CARVON LLC is a startup company that will mainly produce SkatE-Pods. SkatE-Pods are hands-free electric boards with freewheel mechanism, mechanical brakes and a swappable battery system. Patent pending.
SkatE-Pods are different from most electric skateboards because they are not operated by hand remote-controls. It also uses mechanical brakes to stop, unlike all available e-boards today which uses motor-braking to stop. Because of the introduction of mechanical brakes and the elimination of the motor for stopping purpose, a freewheel clutch is able to be added. This is beneficial because it adds a magnet drag-free coasting which is helpful for extending battery-life, unrestricted downhill and tricks, and the ability to easily manually push the board when it runs out of battery-life, or when you turn it off.
SkatE-Pods also feature an opening or detachable lid on the foot deck to allow access to the battery. This enables swapping depleted batteries with freshly-charged ones easily and conveniently. Fresh batteries can be carried by the rider in their backpack, allowing for a longer ride time and range.
