I always wonder how people hear about this emerging technology. I was influenced by the infamous casey neistat vlogs. Anyone else care to share?

Hi Wolf

 

What a great community and thanks for the welcome. You will be pleased to know that we do have German, Spanish and Americans involved in the project. David Valle from Spain has designed prototype 2 and Diego Miralles designed prototype 1. We are sourcing the wheels but hope to manufacture everything else in house. Yuneec International is an amazing company, founded by Tian Yu who pioneered electric RC aircraft developments some 15 years ago. Every Horizon Hobby airplane you see is made by Flying Tian. With this factory employing hundreds of people and good cash flow, he decided to build a brand new factory on the outskirts of Shanghai where he could manufacture engines and the e430 electric airplane. As an incredible engineer, entrepreneur, pioneer and just a damn good bloke he pays real attention to detail. A friend of mine said to him Mr. Yu, what you are doing with Electric Aviation is truly unique! That is how the name YUneec came about. The engines that have strong patents are also unique and they are building plenty of different power output versions. As small as a finger nail and as large as a big barrel of beer! In the future, we shall be exploring other areas to utilise the engine and battery technology - e.g. electric outboard engines for dinghies and drones (http://www.e-drones.com). However, right now the focus is to make the world's best electric skateboards with a range to choose from. The wireless controller is also being developed in house and we have an iOS and MFi agreement with Apple so expect some sexy apps for smartphones as well - an iPhone instrument panel for the e-boards? Watch this space !

Wow, this is something I never knew about Yuneec and is awesome to read. Thank you for sharing. On my recent and well, only blog post on Eboards, I chose Yuneec E-GO2 as my top one for 2016! Even happier with that choice now as well after reading this.

Hello All!

My name is Warren and Im from San Fran Cali USA. Been riding for years now and have been getting into Eboards a lot lately. I look forward to posting and learning from you all! Excited to stumble into a new forum/community. What boards does everyone ride?

I personally have purchased a Yuneec E-GO2! Ended up writing up an article on my opinion of top prebuilts for 2016. Maybe I'll post it if anyone is actually interested

Cheers to you all,

Warren
