In the quest for more sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation options, electric skateboards emerge as an intriguing alternative to traditional vehicles, even when compared to electric cars like the Tesla Model 3. The stark contrast in energy consumption between these two modes of transport highlights a broader discussion on the eco-friendliness of our daily commute … Read more
An electric skateboard motor uses electromagnets to create rotation and movement. The motor has two main parts – the stationary stator and the rotor, which spins. The stator has coiled electromagnets powered by the battery. The rotor has magnets attached to the central shaft. So, in short, the motor uses magnetic forces to convert electricity into … Read more
“An energy cannot be lost, it can only be transformed.” In traditional braking i.e. Friction Braking System, the energy is transformed into heat energy. Regenerative braking plays a very important role in electric skateboards. It’s an ‘energy recovery system’ that creates electricity from the vehicle’s kinetic energy that would normally be lost as heat from the brakes. The electricity … Read more
In this week’s article, we’ll talk about IP ratings so you can understand what it means and what your board is capable of. Electric skateboards are electric machines and, as such, are susceptible to water damage. Several electric components in electric skateboards, notably the battery and motors, are prone to water damage. In addition to … Read more
“With electric means handing over to China. Forcing the whole continent to switch only to electric with no other solutions means handing over the economy to China and therefore with the Portuguese, Slovak, Romanian and Czech ministers we count on being majority to say that the ecological transition is fundamental but cannot be done with … Read more
“Among the new urban models being proposed to reconcile the new faces of mobility, the one theorized by Swiss urban planner Lydia Bonanomi is making a buzz. The idea behind that model is to reduce the speed of vehicular traffic to 30 km/h in urban centers.” A transformation -much discussed- that would “reduce air noise … Read more
Hardly makes any noise, does not emit any smelly exhaust fumes, and contains a lot of the latest technology – at least that is the general perception of electric vehicles. However, electromobility is much more than that; emission-free electric motors, fed with climate-neutral energy, are the technological promise that should lead us into a more … Read more
If we want to cut down global greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, we must also drastically reduce the consumption of new raw materials. How? By moving from a linear economy to the model known as the circular economy, where all products at the end of their life cycle do … Read more
