Current skateboard design is limited in its capabilities to maneuver and stop. Obvious technical innovation is needed. The purpose of this team is to create the ultimate riding machine.
The Advanced Skateboard’s revolutionary design opens the possibilities for skaters to carve and stop with ease on any type of terrain.
The design team plans to re-examine the materials used for skateboards, in order to create a lighter board. Rethinking the material used for the deck, in particular, will be effective in taking the skateboarding experience one step closer towards ‘snowboarding on pavement”.
Ride quality is a significant concern for this type of skateboard. Freestyle skateboards require less consideration of comfort and longevity because of their shorter use times.
Vibrations are felt during regular skateboard use. These vibrations can cause numbness in the user’s feet. At higher speeds and longer distances, this can become a concern. With numb feet a user is less in control of the skateboard. This issue can be compounded by rough surfaces, bumps, holes, and the resulting shock to a user’s joints and bones. This project will attempt to create a system that will better reduce the effects of these phenomena common in current skateboarding. This system may take several forms to combat rider discomfort and exhaustion.
An additional design change will be that of a different braking system for the modified skateboard. This braking device can be implemented in a few different ways. The first and most obvious of these would be to modify the composition of the wheels to increase the static friction coefficient while sliding the wheel sideways during braking. A second way would be to change the geometry of the wheel to allow the static friction forces to be exerted on a different section of the wheel designated for braking. This in turn would increase the life of the wheel while also escalating the ride quality and rider comfort.
Group Picture
The Uberboard will provide a ride unlike any skateboard on the market today. It provides the rider with increased control, response, object avoidance, and stopping capabilities. The design will be lightweight and durable. The board responds to slight shifts in weight from side to side and forward to back by adjusting both the speed and angle of each wheel to optimize performance.\\\
Braking will be provided by a friction pad or gear assembly and will be activated by the riders movements. The wheels will also adjust for turning by leaning as the board leans on shock absorbing arms. The arms will also provide the rider to possibly hop over previously unavoidable hazards. This will be achieved by pushing down and loading the springs and then quickly jumping, causing the board to “pop” into the air under the rider and over the obstacle.
The Uberboard will be very adjustable in all aspects. A simple change in wheels and springs will give the board off-road capabilities, thus expanding its marketability.
