An electric skateboard is a transportation device based on the traditional manual skateboard but equipped with a power kit. Electric skateboards are generally categorized into dual-wheel drive or single-wheel drive, with the most common transmission methods being hub motors and belt drives with timing pulleys and belts. Their primary power source is lithium battery packs.
Electric skateboards are highly favored by young people, and the global electric skateboard market is accelerating with a compound annual growth rate of 25.3%. The market size is projected to reach $389 billion by 2030, marking a 760% increase compared to around $51 billion in 2021.
