It comes with a hefty $1399 price tag, but the skating community is buying them up like hotcakes. They raised nearly half a million bucks on Kickstarter to get the business off the ground and they are currently shipping their product. Riders control the speed, when under power, with a hand-held remote or through a smart phone app. The motor is so small, if you didn’t know it was an electric skateboard, you’d think it was a “normal” skateboard. The technology of the Manta Drive gives riders a 7-10 mile range per charge. The internal “Manta Drive” powers the rear wheels directly, creating the smoothest electric skateboard ride out there. Ryan Evans, Dave Evans, and Chris Haley of Inboard Technology get some Sharks to take a ride on their M1 Electric Skateboard when they pitch their business in Shark Tank episode 807.
