Launch Week in Review + Yahoo Video

What a Launch Week!

We reached our $10k Kickstarter goal in 4 days (and then doubled it in 6, and tripled it in 9)! Today we passed $30k on Kickstarter

Thanks to all the help from the ZBoard supporters out there, we've received 110k youtube views, 1200 facebook page likes, and 145 followers on twitter.

We were also featured on the Yahoo web show "The Future is Now." Big thanks to Jennie, Will, Mark and the rest of the Yahoo crew.





Next on the schedule for the ZBoard Team is the SXSW festival in Austin, TX. If you'll be there, you'll find us buzzing around the Start-Up America Booth.


THANK YOU to everyone who's pre-ordered and/or gotten the word out about the ZBoard!

CES - What a Week! (News Coverage + Videos in this Post)

The ZBoard was unveiled at CES in Vegas on Tuesday and we got a great response from event goers with countless test drives, pictures, videos, and pre-orders. Currently we're putting together a video of the best rides of the week. We'll publish that video on this blog when completed. 

Some of the Coverage:

"The soon-to-launch ZBoard might be the closest thing to riding a regular skateboard, with an intuitive, hands-free electric motor that accelerates and decelerates as the rider adjusts their body weight forward or backward." http://www.coolhunting.com/tech/electric-skateboards-ces.php


"In a word, this thing is super freaking cool. No handheld triggers or cables, just your feet, just like a real board."  http://hikeclimbsurfrun.com/2012/01/z-board-weight-sensing-skateboard-rolls-into-ces/#comment-624


"Purely awesome"



"The skateboards are the first in the industry to use a sensor motor which adjusts speed based on the riders position and weight; segway style. http://joinbklyn.tumblr.com/post/16062314673/next-stop-hoverboards-introducing-electric



"This is what I need to cover a big show like CES"  http://blog.seattlepi.com/videoblogging/2012/01/10/ces-2012-video-screen-mic-flag-electric-skate-board-company-vlogs-are-best-of-show/
