An off-road board needs good traction, but traditional off-road skateboard wheels are too small providing poor grip. One of the reasons tanks have tracks is because the ‘contact patch’ of a track is significantly larger than a wheel providing superior traction and pressure distribution.

In fact the TRACK1 has the contact patch of a 30 inch wheel making it possible to traverse different types of terrains.The Track 1’s power comes from a rear 5-horsepower-plus electric motor spinning the track.Track 1 riders use a remote control to reach speeds over 20 mph (32 km/h), and lean into turns to steer.
The TRACK1 was developed to give people the freedom to ride various terrain. We created the worlds first compact off-road capable vehicle, small enough to fit in the back seat of a car, powerful enough to shred up steep hills.

The TRACK1 is designed to go where no board has gone before. The track-drive is the first of its kind, extraordinarily unique due to the traction of a tank combined with smooth handling. This is an all-season, all-terrain board.
