the main component of the stary electric skateboard are its wheels. they combine both n 5.1 N/m motor with a tiny complex gearbox that can travel at a top speed of 18.6 mph, safely brake and regenerate the onboard batteries. the skateboard is set to three different riding modes: – beginner mode, cruising mode and advanced mode. each one has a pre programmed maximum speed limit. this helps for riders who are just starting, to advanced pro skateboarders. the board comes with a remote that accurately displays speed modes and battery storage. the team at stary started a kickstarter campaign to help with production and plan to ship in september 2015.
