Description: Acton pulls out all the stop for its new board.

[ MUSIC ] Each of our boards uses hub motors. So there are no belts. There are no gears. There are no extra pieces hanging off of he thing that are things that you have to maintain or that might get caught up on terrain or other things. These electric skateboards, the Blink line of skateboards Are really small. Something that you can really carry with you. And the idea here is that you take with you. Even if you had to go to the bathroom or something, you'd hang it on the door in front of you. [ MUSIC ] It's really meant to be almost like an article of clothing. These boards here are all prototypes. And they're in various levels of completion or production- readiness. They're all within the link of Blink electric skateboards. We have the Blink S Almost as it would be in production. It's single wheel drive. Cub motor. Electric skateboard. We have the BLINK S2, which is a, really more of an electric longboard. And that's two wheel drive, versus the one wheel drive of the BLINK S. Then, we have the QU4TRO. Which is the one, our halo product. It's made of carbon fiber and extruded aluminum, pressure cast aluminum. It's really fantastic. And of course, four hub motors. And that one will go 23 miles. An hour. And you can go for 22 miles per charge. And it will climb pretty much any hill that you come across. Right now we're running an Indiegogo campaign, which is doing really, really well. We're maybe a month into it at this point, and we're at $ 840, 000. The Quatro will be available for shipping in March of 2017, which is just a couple of months away. [ MUSIC ]
