ESCEND BLADES Alpha V1 Electric Skates Platforms + POWERSLIDE Metro Boots

For many years ESCEND worked on the realization of the first electric inline skates - and now they are finally available: The ESCEND BLADES Alpha V1 Electric Skates!

More precisely, we're talking about "platforms" that consists of aluminium frames, two wheels, the electric drive, the built-in battery and the control unit. With this platform you can now "electrify" your own skates in no time at all. Race at up to 25km/h over the asphalt, lean into the curves, carve like a slalom skier or just use it for easy and comfortable commuting!

Here you get the ESCEND BLADES Alpha V1 Electric Skates Platforms together with a pair POWERSLIDE Metro Boots. Metro hard shell boots offer an in-tuned skating feeling. The solidity and foot/ankle support is outstanding as it is suitable for all levels and types of skating, from recreational and urban to free and aggressive skating styles suitable for high speeds and tricks.

The liner is made from sifika, an anti-slippery material that helps to prevent your foot from moving with anatomical ankle padding and embossed foam layers which adapt perfectly to a skater's foot, keeping your heel in place and optimising comfort.

The fastening is a classical system with two micrometric clasps fitted with a locking system, which prevents the clasps from popping open at any shock or bump, but a simple release with the press of a button. Powerslide’s fastening system provides rigid yet flexible support, permitting great forward and backward skating.

ESCEND BLADES Alpha V1 Electric Skates Platforms are built extremely compact. The drive is on the rear axle, right in the core of the wheel. 53mm wide and 105mm large solid rubber wheels provide a completely new skate feeling with grip in every cornering position, which, thanks to the electric drive, makes skating effortless even on uneven terrain. Even wet ground and dirty country lanes become absolutely skateable. The 70A soft and profiled solid rubber wheels make it possible!

With the help of the included remote control the speed can be infinitely adjusted via a rotary wheel and set in in three driving modes. The rotary wheel is spring-loaded and thus provided with counter-pressure. If you simply let go of the rotary wheel, it automatically returns to the zero position, the motor immediately stops accelerating and the speed decreases. If you now move the rotary wheel in the opposite direction, you activate the brake function. A safe stop is therefore possible at any time.

At level 1 (Eco) with moderate acceleration you can reach approx. 10 km/h, at level 2 with a little more acceleration power it is already approx. 18 km/h and at level 3 with full motor power you can even get up to 25 km/h . Uphill skating is possible up to a gradient of 20%. In addition, the drive direction can be reversed, so all three modes can also be selected when going backwards.

A lot of information is shown on the illuminated display of the remote control. E.g. battery status of the two platforms and the remote control, the total and daily kilometers, as well as the set driving mode and the current speed.

BY THE WAY: ESCEND BLADES Alpha V1 Electric Skates Platform fit for all inline skate boots:
From the factory the platforms fit all inline skate boots with a classic 2-point frame mount (165mm and 195mm hole spacing, with the rear mounting point being higher than the front).
Do you have a skate boot with UFS (2-point frame mount with 165mm hole spacing, with both mounting points at the same height) or Trinty (3-point) frame mount? With the respective separately available adapters, the platforms also fit easily on these inline skate boots!

The assembly is very easy. Thanks to the longitudinal holes on the mounting points of the frame, you can even adjust the position of the platforms on your boot (if necessary) to adjust it to your own preferences. (Tip: Mount the boots further forward on the base for more stability or further back for more agility.)
