Bolt was an electric skateboard meant for commuting. We closed down the company in 2020.
The idea came to me while commuting every day to go to my University.
I had to walk a lot everyday to get to and from the train station.
Up to 1h30m per day in total.
I was tired and I was losing a lot of time.
How can I speed up my commute?
I would need something to make me go faster than walking but still be compact enough to carry on the train and bring in class.
A board with wheels.
Motorised so you don’t even have to push.
An electric skateboard!
I looked at the market and all the electric skateboard I could find were huge and heavy: more than 1 metre of length and more than 10kg of weight.
I wanted something lightweight and portable.
