The world's first real solar electric skateboard
Its weight is only 5kg
There is a huge problem of social energy and transportation issues in the moment. Air pollution and traffic congestion have become a lingering problem in everyone’s daily life. The electric vehicles must be the future solutions. We are now providing a means of short-distance transport with entertainment - solar electric skateboard.
Youngboard - The world’s first real solar electric skateboard is now launched by Center Young GmbH. By integrating the solar panel on the surface of skateboard and using our patented technology to improve the impact resistance, we bring you a brand new environmental friendly skateboard. It combines energetic independence with free and young transportation as well as ecological awareness. It will greatly improve people's short-distance transport efficiency, and give you perfect entertainment experience.
You can simply grab it and go wherever you want to go, for example, high street, school and bars. Or you can imagine your office in nature: just grab your skateboard, your laptop, your phone and be independent....
Charging: Solar power and family power
Only takes 4 hours to charge the battery
Our skateboard use solar charging and family power charging to provide energy. The solar panel fully utilize the effective surface area on the skateboard. This makes the solar panel reach 25 W power, and the capacity of battery is 100 Wh. Theoretically, 4 hours solar charging is equivalent to the time of conventional charging. The voltage of the flexible high molecular polymer battery pack, that brings the skateboard a steady and strong stream of power.
Charging while "riding"
Our skateboard serves with free and ecologic energy and makes you independent and dynamic.
Technologies:
The solar panel is a kind of aviation standard plexiglass composite material that usually being used on the windows of the aviation cockpit. Plexiglass is the best polymer transparent material. Its light transmittance is up to 99%, which is higher than ordinary glass. The density of the plexiglass is 1.18 g/cm3. Its weight is half of the same size ordinary glass, and 43% of aluminum. Our plexiglass is very strong. Its impact resistance is 200 times higher than that of ordinary glass, and consequently its life span is up to 6-13 years. High light transmittance, light weight, lamination technology, integrated molding induces a new kind of transportation tool integrating entertainment with traffic. Use solar charging and family power charging to provide energy. Environmental friendly motor drive, which can be used as power supply for phones, laptops etc. in the field. Increase the endurance mileage and reduce the battery consumption.
Start and brake:
Wireless remote is used to control the start and brake. Simply slide the remote back for braking and slow down and forward for start and speed up.
Rifkin said that we are turning into the third industrial revolution. New energy and the Internet will promote the development of the third industrial revolution. The third industrial revolution comprises five pillars, one is the application and development of the electric vehicle. I have been exploring a green, new energy electric vehicle, through constant innovation, research and improvement, now our product the solar electric skateboard is finally born. In order to make the solar panel combine with the slide successfully, and solve the problems of tolerance and high transmittance, we use a kind of plexiglass which is of the aeronautical cockpit level, and overcome processing technology and other problems. Our products have a solar-charging function, an integrated design, fully use of the effective area of the slider. The high conversion rates monocrystalline solar cells make the solar power reach 25 W. The battery is a kind of soft package lithium battery, reaching 100 Wh which is the maximum capacity allowed by aviation. It increases the driving range and reduces battery consumption. It can also provide mobile phones and other electrical appliances with power. To reduce weight and improve efficiency, the external rotor wheel motor drive wheel is used here. We use a variety of sensors and automatic control system to make it be of much more intelligent. And in order to detect it’s bearing capacity, and have a battery indicator, forward and back function. It has a greatly improved portability and the ability to adapt to the environment, it cannot only adapt to a short-distance travel and entertainment, but also has a good adapting ability even on the surface of Mars in the future.
