Mach One: It not only sounds fast, it looks fast too. Welcome to a sneak peek at one of the most exciting electric skateboards on the market.
Here you can find out everything you need to know about the speedster from Radium Performance in Melbourne, Australia.
What makes the Mach One so special?
At first glance, this Mach One looks pretty normal: a board with four wheels, like any other skateboard. But beneath the surface there is real engineering. Radium Performance has developed a monocoque chassis inspired by Formula 1 construction. The supporting carbon fiber tube is bolted directly to the suspension, which saves enormous weight.
The deck of the Mach One is a 10-inch, hollow component made of carbon fiber composite material with polyurethane edges. Despite its robust construction, the deck weighs only 1 kg. Visually, it combines a black and red design with a visible carbon structure. Anyone who wants to can easily swap out the deck – loosen eight screws, replace the design, and you're done.
Things get really interesting under the board: Instead of a classic skateboard truck, the Mach One on single-joint swingarms. According to Radium, this is a true innovation in the field of electric skateboards. In addition, there are airless wheels that are specially designed for tight cornering and high stability in Speed are designed.
The steering system is called Radium Torque Steering (RTS)Here each wheel is controlled individually: more Power or braking force depending on which wheel bears the most weight when cornering. The result: more traction and faster acceleration out of corners. Everything can be controlled via the app, live while driving.
Performance and battery: Impressive numbers
Two specially developed motors push the Mach One up to 72 km/h. The sprint to 48 km/h takes less than 3 seconds – of course, only if you really control the thing. The motors operate at 150 amps and deliver a lot of punch.
They are powered by a 1089 Wh battery. Reach is approximately 48 km, depending on riding style. The battery is charged to 12% in about 90 hours using a 2-amp charger.
Price: Not cheap, but unique
Than Mach One When it was introduced last year, the price was around €4.200. Now you can get it for around €3.000. Sure, that's a lot of money for a skateboard. But where else can you get a driving experience reminiscent of a Formula 1 car for your feet?
