Electric skateboards are designed for commuting and adventure, but waterproof may be one of the major concern for riders. Imagine being caught in a sudden drizzle, only to find that your electric skateboard isn’t equipped to handle moisture. Even though riding on heavy rainfall or deep puddles should be avoided, having an electric skateboard that resists light rain and splashes adds a level of reassurance and freedom, especially on unpredictable weather days. In this blog, we’ll explore how UDITER addresses waterproofing with innovative features that protect electronic components, allowing riders to enjoy a durable, worry-free experience.
Which parts of an electric skateboard need to be waterproofed?
To ensure durability, the electronic components of an electric skateboard must be effectively waterproofed, especially any areas housing circuits or with external openings. As electric skateboards, like other electric vehicles, are often exposed to outdoor conditions. Electric skateboards with LED features require extra attention to waterproofing due to the sensitive electronics embedded in the deck. The LED screen and other electronic components must be well-protected from moisture to prevent any potential damage. After all, no one wants to invest several hundred dollars in an electric skateboard only to have it sidelined after a single ride due to water damage to its LEDs.
How does UDITER ensure waterproof electric skateboards?
UDITER electric skateboard offers an IP55 waterproof design, ensuring both functionality and durability in various weather conditions. Here’s how each part is optimized for a secure, water-resistant experience:
1. Waterproof LED Screen Deck on Electric Skateboard
The UDITER electric skateboard’s LED screen is composed of 4,096 LED beads, each bead sealed with a proprietary waterproof coating. This coating effectively shields the lights from rain, puddles, and accidental splashes without hindering light transmission or heat dissipation. The waterproof LED screen design on electric skateboards allows riders to enjoy uninterrupted and fun rides.
2. Waterproof Silicone Grip Tape Designed for Electric Skateboard
Unlike traditional grip tapes that destroy when exposed to water, the innovative silicone grip tape on UDITER Pixel Rider electric skateboard is designed specifically for water resistance. The surface of each grip tape is embedded with over 200,000 tiny protrusions, offering excellent grip and resilience. This silicone grip tape can be easily maintained by simply washing with water without risking damage to the deck. Additionally, the semi-transparent black silicone diffuses the LED light evenly, reducing glare while preserving screen visibility for a smoother nighttime experience.
3. Waterproof Battery and ESC Enclosures on Electric Skateboard
The removable battery system of electric skateboards, a patented design by the UDITER, comes with extra waterproofing features. Both the battery and ESC are encased in a tough silicone enclosure and lined with special waterproof materials. These layers protect the internal components from vibrations during rides while preventing water intrusion, enhancing both durability and safety.
4. Waterproof Silicone Gaskets on Electric Skateboard
UDITER ESC and battery enclosures are sealed with waterproof silicone gaskets at each seam, preventing water from seeping into the electric components. They provide a secure barrier against rain and moisture, safeguarding internal electronics and long-lasting electric skateboards' lifetime.
5. Waterproof Charging Port Caps on Electric Skateboard
All UDITER electric skateboards are equipped with waterproof caps designed to cover the charging port, preventing water and dust ingress. This feature protects the electronic components from water damage and helps extend the lifespan of electric skateboards.
Can You Ride an Electric Skateboard in the Rain?
My answer is: “Not Recommended.” Even though many electric skateboards, including UDITER’s, are designed to be waterproof, it’s best to avoid fully submerging your electric skateboard or riding through deep puddles. With proper maintenance after rainy rides, light rain and occasional splashes won’t harm your electric skateboard. However, fully submerging your electric skateboard in water can eventually damage its electronic components, especially if maintenance is neglected after exposure to rain.
How Has UDITER Upgraded the Electric Skateboard from Better Riding Experience?
