Linky 2.0: The Foldable Electric Longboard Redefining Urban Mobility

Italian startup Linky Innovation has unveiled a groundbreaking creation that promises to revolutionize the way we navigate urban landscapes. Introducing the Linky 2.0, a foldable electric longboard that seamlessly transitions from a compact, backpack-friendly form to a thrilling ride, allowing riders to cruise effortlessly through city streets.

The Linky 2.0’s design is a captivating fusion of form and function, with a birch wood surface that evokes the sleek aesthetics of a paddle racket. This wooden plank, customizable in a range of vibrant colors, is paired with two high-performance wheels that defy the challenges of any terrain. Boasting a diameter of 210.5 mm, these all-terrain wheels are engineered to tackle bumpy roads, water, and gravel with ease, thanks to their anti-hydroplane properties and integrated mudguards.

The true innovation of the Linky 2.0, however, lies in its foldable mechanism. Designed to save precious space, the longboard can be neatly tucked away in a backpack or carry-on luggage, making it the perfect companion for urban explorers and commuters. The Linky Innovation team has meticulously engineered this folding system, assuring riders that their use of high-strength plastic polymers and their extensive experience have resulted in a sturdy and lightweight solution that can withstand the rigors of everyday use.

Powering the Linky 2.0 are two 750W belt motors, delivering a top speed of up to 26 mph (42 kph) and a range of up to 14 miles on a single charge. For those seeking to take their foldable electric longboard on their travels, the Linky 2.0 also offers a 99 Wh airline-safe battery option, ensuring hassle-free transportation.

Complementing the Linky 2.0’s impressive performance is a dedicated mobile app, allowing riders to customize their riding experience by adjusting the brake and acceleration curves. The longboard also comes equipped with a wrist-strap remote, enabling users to control their speed, activate the front-mounted mini headlight, and monitor the battery percentage.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Linky 2.0 can support up to 100 kilograms of weight, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. The team at Linky Innovation emphasizes the importance of safety, recommending that users wear appropriate athletic shoes and protective gear when enjoying their foldable electric longboard.

As the Linky 2.0’s crowdfunding campaign takes the world by storm, the promise of a compact, high-performance ride that can seamlessly integrate into one’s daily routine has captured the imagination of urban dwellers and adventure-seekers alike. With the assurance of delivery within 180 days and a dedicated backpack for storage, the Linky 2.0 is poised to redefine the way we experience urban mobility, one foldable ride at a time.
