The E-GO is far from a cheap knock off. It comes from Yuneec.com who make real electric aircraft and are experts in Electric Propulsion Systems. It is our ability to do mass production which has brought the price down. The design and testing was done by an international team in including several ex-pat Europeans and American employees of Yuneec. We make most of the components in the E-GO and our own motors have a 15 year development history. We also now use auto short circuit protection Panasonic batteries, the best and most expensive in the industry, just like Tesla does.

The E-Go Cruiser can do 18 miles or 30km and you can see plenty of videos at www.youtube.com/YuneecEGO We have nothing to hide and can reassure you that 12.5 mph or 20km/hr is fast enough and you can 'run out' a fall at that speed. At faster speeds you can't. This satisfies 90% of people, 90% of the time.

Sorry but Yuneec Technology do not sell our products in China, after 15 years in business we have many patents which have been abused too many times in China, so we do not sell there.

See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-d5pZ6lmsM some seasoned skateboarders trying out an E-GO for the first time.
As far as speed goes, an E-GO Cruiser travelling at 20 km/hr or 13mph can
-- Cruise along at 5.5 meters / 18 feet every second
-- Can cross a doubles tennis court in under 2 seconds
-- Can do a length of an Olympic size Swimming Pool in 9 seconds before the Olympians have even got half way
-- Can do an American football field end zone to end zone in under 20 seconds
-- Travels at about twice the speed of an average marathon runner over the same distance
-- After your friend gives up after 500 metres running along side you, you carry on for another 20,000m +

The team is made up of plenty of International ex-pats and yes we designed and manufacture the Yuneec E-GO at Yuneec HQ (www.yuneec.com)just outside Shanghai. It is not sluggish, we experimented with many speeds before deciding on the final one to satisfy 90% of people, 90% of the time and we put safety first.

Actually, Yuneec Technology started our E-GO Cruiser design even before Boosted Boards launched their Kickstarter campaign. Yuneec are experts in Electric Propulsion Systems, be they for light aircraft, ultralights, drones or electric longboards. We design and manufacture everything and our new and substantial office and warehouse in California is creating plenty of US jobs.
