The SY board is an innovative electric longboard that is incredibly easy to store due to its folding design and removable wheels. Weighing only 15 lbs, it can be carried around in a standard school locker or used by daily commuters for efficient travel. Its full suspension and all-terrain tires provide a smooth ride, while its bamboo deck offers natural damping over bumps. The powerful brushless DC motors deliver speeds up to 30 mph with hill climbing capabilities of 30%, making it fast and versatile. The belt drive system enhances torque, speed, and control, while regenerative braking helps extend the range of its lithium-ion battery, which charges in just one hour and provides a range of over 20 miles. Safety is ensured with LED lights that only turn on at night, making the rider visible to traffic. Control is easy with a custom-designed handheld Bluetooth controller featuring a touch display, scroll wheel for speed adjustment, and pressure-sensitive trigger for braking. The SY board's unique features make it stand out from other electric longboards on the market.
