With the development of intelligent hardware, hardware entrepreneurship has not only been limited to digital related fields, but also travel has become a new direction of intelligent hardware entrepreneurship. Electric scooters, electric scooters, balance cars and other transportation tools have rapidly poured into our lives, and there are many options to solve the last mile from the subway to the company, In the hot summer, we don't need to sweat for not being late.

Today we bring you SPECTRA Pro, the leader of WALNUTT, a new force in the electric skateboard industry. The size of the skateboard is quite exquisite, and the overall length is only 49.3 cm. Compared with ordinary skateboards or electric skateboards, the figure is very small. Let's take a look at what's special about this compact electric skateboard.

appearance

In terms of appearance design, the biggest feature of the SPECTRA Pro is that it is small. As a skateboard, its length is only 43.9 cm, which can really be called small and exquisite. It is relatively convenient to carry.

The overall design is quite low-key. Only two rows of LED status lights are installed at the front and rear, and the other parts are very similar to the conventional skateboard.

The LED status light at the front looks like it is just for beauty, but actually it is used to prompt the speed mode and power, so the design idea is quite novel.

There is also a row of LED light strips at the tail, which will not light up when it is installed on the empty load. After it is recognized that someone or heavy objects step on it, the red light will light up to prompt.

In terms of board thickness, the SPECTRA Pro is thicker than the conventional skateboard. After all, as an electric skateboard, it needs batteries to power the power unit, so some batteries are hidden inside the board.

Because of the short size, the overall appearance is relatively compact, and the overall strength is guaranteed.

In addition to the sandpaper on the surface, the main board of the board is made of carbon fiber. However, due to the use of bright surface treatment, it is inevitable that bumps will affect the appearance in daily use.

The support part, also known as the "skateboard bridge", is made of relatively solid metal materials. However, due to the large weight of the whole machine, the support is also designed to be quite firm, which is slightly inconvenient compared with the conventional skateboard in terms of flexibility. However, the electric skateboard is mainly used for walking instead of extreme sports such as overturning, which is understandable.

The SPECTRA Pro is different from the conventional skateboard in terms of the base plate part connecting the sliding plate bridge and the plate surface. Because its plate surface is not very designed, its plate surface is directly integrated with the connecting bridge part in the structural design. The main nail directly fixes the sliding plate bridge here. The adjustment of the factory main nail is relatively tight and requires more force to turn.

The main screw adopts the standard hexagonal screw, and users can adjust it according to their own usage habits.

Due to the built-in battery and other components on the board, it is made of carbon fiber with high strength, which shows high rigidity and small deformation in our trial.

In terms of power, the transmission device is located in the wheel, and the coils and bearings are all integrated here. The design of the power device is relatively precise. In our experience, its power output is relatively smooth, and acceleration is powerful.

The switch is located at the rear of the body, and can be turned on/off by long pressing. The WALNUTT silver logo beside the switch is not only a logo, but also a magnetic charging interface. It is simple and convenient to stick the connector of the charger to charge.

Somatic control&APP experience

As an electric skateboard, people do not buy it for competition or performance, but for "walking". Therefore, the flexibility of control, safety of sliding and stability of driving system are very important. After all, no one wants to "jump the street" in the process of sliding.

Unlike many electric skateboards, the control mode does not use a remote control, but adopts the way of body feeling+App control. In daily use, it can be used completely by the body feeling function of the skateboard itself.

There is a pressing area marked with an arrow in the front of the skateboard. The forward function of the electric skateboard can be activated by stepping on it or leaning forward. It has a built-in sensor. After identifying someone stepping on it, there will be a beep to remind the user, giving the user a time to prepare and accelerating at random. The whole acceleration process is relatively soft, from slow to fast, It is very safe without sudden acceleration. In addition, skateboarding can also be divided into three power modes, namely "primary", "sports" and "professional". Students who have not used electric skateboarding can start from the primary mode and try to accelerate more radical sports mode and professional mode after mastering certain use skills. However, its self steering flexibility is slightly low, which may be due to the heavy deadweight. If the skateboard bridge can be more flexible, it will have a better experience.

Although it is a hand free electric skateboard, Walnut Technology still provides the "remote control" function, but it is not a traditional remote control. Instead, it uses the mobile phone app. After the mobile phone is connected to the skateboard, you can use the app to adjust the functions of the skateboard. Forward, backward, and speed adjustment can be done on the app. In addition, it also has a convenient locking button to prevent danger caused by misoperation caused by mis touch. In addition, the APP also integrates the data statistics function and position recording function, which can record the total mileage and total distance of taxiing today, as well as the position of cities that have taxied.

In addition to the basic settings of the sliding plate, EBoard Go has also added a social function, which is divided into timelines, exploration and other categories. After adding friends, you can see the information shared by friends and yourself in the timeline, while the exploration function can see what interesting statuses other players in the world have made, and can also comment or like. It is more interesting, which can improve users' interest in electric skateboards, even conventional skateboards.

In terms of maximum speed, the SPECTRA Pro claims to have a maximum speed of 25km/h, a maximum endurance of 20km, and the ability to climb a slope of about 27 degrees. In our actual test, there is no problem when it accelerates to more than 20km/h, and it has achieved good results in electric scooters. There is no pressure on gentle slopes that are not very steep in daily life. For daily commuting, this performance is enough. After all, most of the road conditions are not friendly to bicycles, balance cars, and skateboards, Reasonable speed can ensure the safety of taxiing to a certain extent.

In terms of endurance, the SPECTRA Pro has a maximum endurance of 20 kilometers, which is basically enough for a daily transportation tool. It is believed that most users who buy electric skateboards are only used to solve the problem of transportation for short commutes or the last kilometer. This endurance can be used for several days. In terms of charging, it uses a magnetic suction interface, which can be used to suck up the charging line. It only takes one and a half hours for a complete charge.

summary

Many users are afraid of skateboards, balance cars and other products. They are afraid of problems such as failing to master balance and falling down. As an electric skateboard product, SPECTRA Pro cannot avoid this problem. However, in combination with our entire trial process, electric skateboards are quite different from ordinary skateboards. Because of their own power and many active protection measures, users only need to focus on maintaining balance during the taxiing process, and the threshold of use is much lower than that of conventional skateboards. It is no problem for users who have played skateboards, Even users who have never touched the skateboard can quickly get started.

On the whole, the SPECTRA Pro has a high degree of completion, small size, beautiful appearance, and a 20 km endurance. These are its highlights, but they are not perfect. Its weight is up to 5.5 kg. Although it is not unacceptable for an adult male, it is a bit overweight for girls, It's hard to lift it. Especially for the users who use it to solve the problem of the last kilometer, it is still a bit biased to pick up and pick up on the subway or bus.

But fortunately, it launched a walnut sports backpack at the same time. It ingeniously designed a special fixed position for skateboard, which can fix the SPECTRA Pro on the back of the backpack. In addition, users who are going to use the skateboard as a commuting tool should also pay attention to the safety of the use scene. It is better to use the skateboard in flat and closed road conditions. In uneven or heavy traffic sections, it is better to be as careful as possible.
