The Backpack E-Skate project is a foldable electric skateboard. The goal was to design an electric skateboard that would provide convenience, fun, and safety for the rider. We achieved these conditions in various ways. For safety, the Backpack E-Skate makes use of light sensors to automatically control LEDs to increase visibility in the dark. It also uses motion sensors to provide warnings in case of pedestrians and unexpected obstacles. The E-Skate is controlled with a remote with simple controls to make operation intuitive. Easy operation increases safety by eliminating distractions. An Android application was deployed, which is used for the rider's enjoyment by customizing the RGB lighting sequences. As far as convenience, the motors make convenient to ride and the folding design makes it convenient to transport when not being ridden. In addition, it is made to fit standards set by other electric skateboards on the market, such as battery life and capable travel distance.
