Abstract The purpose of this innovation was to create a product that was cost effective, environmentally friendly, and fun way of getting around short distances. It was decided that creating an electric skateboard that addressed these needs would be leading edge plus have a zero percent carbon footprint. There are numerous companies that have created such a product such as Boosted Dual+, Evolve Carbon GT Street, Yuneec E-GO-2 and Enertion Raptor 2. Each of these products appeal to a different consumer segment and are very expensive and not widely available in Canada. By analyzing and planning, it was determined that this innovative electric skateboard could compete across many of its competitors customer segments. Furthermore, it was designed to be customizable with numerous upgrade components available depending upon the individual customer’s needs. The upgradable components could be installed by the customer with ease and are readily available in Canada.
