Elwing is a compact, versatile electric skateboard that can take you up hills and through traffic, with a top speed of 18mph. At 9.9lbs it’s light enough to carry anywhere but powerful enough to cruise up a 10% grade hill. Getting around the city was never been this convenient and fun.
Elwing is the world’s most compact electric skateboard. Every detail has been designed based on the idea that commuting should be the fun and easy part of the day. The result is an extremely lightweight electric skateboard that holds a incredible amount of power.
Elwing’s performance is amazing : 18mph of top speed and 7 miles of range for only 9,9lbs. It takes only 45 minutes to charge with the fast charger. The frictionless in-wheel motor provides phenomenal gliding sensations and allows you to keep riding without using the motor.
Elwing packs a powerful motor within a small form factor so it’s versatile enough for any situation while being light enough to hold with one finger.
Art and board sports have always been very related. It’s beautiful to see someone riding with style, and so should the product be. We’ve had this limited edition designed by Mecca Collective and laser engraved by Le Shape.
The Elwing Board is the result of 2 years of prototyping, testing, failing and learning. We met in 2014 in Shanghai, where we spent over 2 hours everyday commuting to work.
We believe commuting should be the fun and easy part of the day.
As board sports addicts, electric skateboards seemed to be the perfect solution to our commuting solution. But all we found on the market were electric longboards. They are super fun but too heavy and expensive.
We built a compact electric skateboard that holds an incredible amount of power. Since then we wake up everyday knowing that we’ll have our daily dose of fun.
