Inboard Technology Inc.

Inboard Technology Inc.

was a US-based developer and manufacturer of lightweight personal electric rideables, founded in 2014 by Ryan Evans and Theo Cerboneschi. The company focused on providing innovative solutions for urban transportation, particularly through its flagship product, the M1 Electric Skateboard. This skateboard featured patented in-wheel motors, a swappable battery system, and regenerative braking, making it a popular choice for urban commuters and action sports enthusiasts. Headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, Inboard Technology gained significant attention after appearing on *Shark Tank* in 2016, where it secured investment and exceeded its Kickstarter funding goal by 421%. The company operated primarily in the B2C space, selling directly to consumers through various platforms, including Amazon and Best Buy. Despite its initial success, Inboard Technology attempted to expand into electric scooters, which ultimately led to its liquidation in 2019. Although the company is no longer operational, its contributions to the electric rideable market, particularly in battery technology and design, have left a lasting impact.
