Mechanical Engineer Builds The World's Fastest Electric Skateboard via insideevs.com
Electric power has increased the performance of previously manually driven mobility devices. Electric motors have made mobility more accessible to a larger variety of people, from bicycles to kick-scooters and even skateboards—chances are you wont have a hard time finding an electric equivalent of these. Of course, you could also say that riding e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-skateboards is a lot more fun than their traditional counterparts.
Ever since man invented motorized transportation, we've always wanted to go faster and faster—be it a car, truck,, or scooter—but what about a skateboard. Indeed, the standing record for the fastest electric skateboard in the world was 95 kilometers per hour—or around 59.38 miles per hour. That was until a mechanical engineer by the name of Raine Kent absolutely smashed that record with his newest skateboard.
Raine Kent, an Australian mechanical engineer, achieved a new Guiness world record for the fastest speed on an electric skateboard, traveling at 132.37 kilometers per hour—82.25 miles per hour—on a custom-built skateboard. Kent leveraged his mechanical engineering abilities to create the high-performance electric skateboard, and his startup firm, Raith, is now on the cusp of launching its products.
Raith manufactures a line of high-speed electric skateboards for a variety of applications. For example, they offer a high performance skateboard geared toward speed called the Vengeance, as well as a model for ordinary commutes called the Midnight. In total, it has taken the company four years to develop, fine-tune, and perfect its electric skateboards., Kent says,"I love the adrenaline rush that you get from e-skateboarding.
