Airwheel M3 – The Design Parameters
- Airwheel M3 Deck: The deck design is flat except for the elevation at the rear wheel, to accommodate the construction mechanism of the truck‘s upward projection. The front and the rear trucks have steel plates at the top that support the deck. They are attached to the rear side of the board with the help of 4 fasteners from the top of the board. You could use the space between the two spots for positioning your feet while riding. The deck is made of maple wood and other composite materials to make it strong and load bearing. The grip tape at the top provides firm foothold and supports body balancing while riding. The dimension of 11” X 17.6” X 32.5” makes the Airwheel M3 Deck spacious and safe to ride. The deck height from the ground level is increased by the sturdy wheels that resemble tires in size and diameter.
- Airwheel M3 Truck: The truck design is entirely different from the other skateboards you see online. To tell you frankly, it resembles that of a mobile concrete mixer cylinder tuned upside down. There are no visible external parts like the kingpin, axle screws, etc. The hanger and the axle are solid molded with steel. The truck connects to the hanger at the wheel axle level and the top plate that connects to the rear end of the deck. This design is expected to provide strong support to the riders’ body weight unlike the traditional models you have seen so far. The structure is called the rotation shaft as it can literally rotate the Airwheel M3 through an angle of 180-degrees.
- Airwheel M3 Motor: The 350Watt motor assembly can work efficiently at inclination of 15-degrees as it can do on flat roads. The power generated by the motor can also push the board evenly on rough terrains with best of torque and speed. The connectivity between the motor, battery and the remote sensor is streamlined for maximum performance. You can use the remote to control the acceleration, deceleration, rotation, and stopping of the board by varying the input to the motor through the sensor. The freeness to vary the torque makes the Airwheel M3 highly flexible skateboard to be made available at economical pricing.
- Airwheel M3 Battery: The battery assembly in the control box is located right next to the rear rotation shaft. The connectivity between the battery and the motor has the shortest cable length, increasing the efficiency of power transmission and keeping the loss to near zero. The battery supplies consistent power to the motor at the rate of 162.8Wh, which is best optimized to push the board at top speeds. The control box is designed to protect the battery assembly and the related components from all the destructive elements of external climatic conditions.
- Airwheel M3 Wheels: The 7” wheels are naturally larger compared to the other traditional skateboard models in this range. The distinctive design of the wheels with steel exterior at the spokes cover. The exterior of the wheels are designed similar to that of a car tire that provide firm grip to them on road. With these kinds of wheel to support, you can take the Airwheel M3 on the most rugged terrains with ease and comfort. The high density and shockproof characters of the wheels make it convenient and comfortable for you to ride the board at top speeds without any loss of torque. There is a steel protective layer that covers the inner wheel diameter and connects to the axle of the rotation shaft. This construction is the other added protective feature of the Airwheel M3 wheel.
