In fact, it is the only scooter on the market with a deck surface below the wheel axle centerline, improving the handling and stability while still maintaining 3″ (7.5 cm) of ground clearance. The Glider also sports oversized pneumatic tires, which roll over bumps and potholes easier than smaller wheels and help absorb bumps and holes in the road.īut to add an even smoother ride, Inboard has included coilover suspension in the design – another feature rarely found in electric scooters.Īnother feature unique to the Glider is its low deck height. On flat ground, the motor is powerful enough to reach speeds of 18-20 mph (29-32 km/h). It also sports a higher power 750 W motor, which should help it conquer hills that have stalled out scooters from companies like Lime and Bird, which are usually rated for just 250 W.
Each battery should be good for 12 miles (20 km) of range.
The Glider builds upon that same technology, and is one of the few electric scooters that allows user-swappable battery packs. Instead of turning into a heavy and difficult to push brick-on-wheels when the battery dies, the board’s battery compartment pops open, allowing the rider to swap in a fresh pack. One of the features that has set Inboard’s M1 electric skateboard apart is its removable battery. “The Glider is the confluence of our hardware mastery, our software expertise, and our never-ending ambition to provide smarter urban transportation.” It will be offered in both a consumer model and a fleet model, with the only difference being the software within the app which is customizable for fleet usage. The Glider was specifically designed to improve upon the shortcomings of the most popular electric scooters on the market, such as the Xiaomi M365 scooter used by companies like Bird, Spin and Lyft. Inboard’s new electric scooter is known as the Glider, and marks the company’s first departure from their signature product: electric skateboards. Today they’ve finally dropped the veil to show off the company’s new electric scooter, complete with an impressive list of features not found on any other electric scooters on the market.
Inboard Technology is best known for their highly acclaimed M1 electric skateboard, which is fairly unique among a large pack of competitors due to its removable and swappable batteries.įor weeks they’ve been teasing their customers with the imminent launch of “something”, while revealing very few hints.
