In a sneak peak sent to their email newsletter subscribers, Loaded Boards announced that they will unveil a new partnership on July 9th. This partnership is with an electric skateboard brand to produce a Loaded electric skateboard.
Loaded described the board as having Paris trucks, a Loaded board, and Orangutang wheels, along with “cutting-edge battery and motor technology”.
This partnership appears to be with a company called Ride Unlimited, who produces a semi-modular hub motor drive system that you can attach to any board (similar to the Onan booster series). Like Loaded, Ride Unlimited is teasing an announcement for July 9th.
How do we know the partnership is between Loaded and Ride Unlimited? They’re already showing off the board at Santa Monica Pier in California:
