Advanced Control & Live Analytics
Lectec Instructor ESC
Our VESC® based smart controller brings precision and customization to your electric ride. Monitor live performance stats like speed, battery level, motor efficiency, and more in real time. Unlock programming features to adjust settings, optimize energy use, and customize your ride. It's not just about riding—it's about understanding and improving how it all works.
CAN Network
Advanced Learning
Our patent pending RailCore features an expandable CAN Network! Each module is equipped with a CAN chip, just like in automotive systems, allowing real-time data exchange across modules. This means each module knows what the others are doing and can act on shared data—creating a fully synchronized system.
Safety Features
Designed with you in mind
Safety is our top priority, with features like a built-in fire extinguisher inside the battery for added peace of mind. Ride confidently with instructional safety videos and adjustable speed modes on the remote, allowing kids to start at comfortable speeds as they learn. Every element is designed to make riding both fun and secure.
Electrify Everything with RailCore
Power up any ride with RailCore’s modular system! Easily transfer your battery, ESC, and other modules between vehicles like scooters, bikes, go-karts, and robots. With RailCore, you can electrify a range of platforms, making it simple to explore new projects without starting from scratch.
FAQ
How do I assemble the kit?
Our step by step assembly guide can be found on the Lectec Academy. It includes pictures, small GIFs, and detailed instructions to make putting together your kit a breeze. We've built it so that kids can do it themselves if needed!
What is the weight limit?
The skateboard and scooter can hold weights of up to 250lbs. Above ~150lbs you will begin to see a significant decrease in performance, ability to climb hills, and range. We recommend the Power+ Upgrade Pack above 150lbs and highly encourage it above 190lbs.
Is the kit suitable for beginners with no prior experience?
Yes, the kit is designed for users of all skill levels. It includes a comprehensive assembly manual, engaging educational games, and dynamic animated videos to guide you through the building process.
What safety features are incorporated into the kit?
After assembly, the skateboard can reach 8mph and the scooter 10mph. Both have a range of approximately 3 miles on a full charge (per battery). One battery is included in the kit as standard and more batteries can be purchased. They must be purchased at the time of ordering the kit. You cannot use 1 old battery and 1 new battery at the same time.
What is the estimated time required to assemble the vehicle?
The assembly process typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your experience level. It is great to do as a family activity!
What's included in the kit?
The kit provides all necessary parts and tools to build your own electric vehicle. You'll also find everything you need to ride, including a remote, battery charger, and remote charger. If you choose the optional safety pack you will receive an additional helmet, wrist guards, and elbow pads.
How is this kit educational?
The kit offers a hands-on approach to learning STEM concepts by guiding you through building an electric vehicle. It covers topics like motors, pulleys, batteries, and basic electronics, making complex ideas easy to understand. Plus, the online platform includes interactive content and customization options to enhance learning.
