Instead, what Kieran got was the interest of some viewers abroad.Some of the viewers expressed interest to buy the board, and after some back and forth, the first Kieran-made-electric skateboard was sold to a viewer from the US. He showcased the board on Youtube to try to get the attention from retailers hoping for some B2B business opportunity. He started from what he has and with some mix and matches, got a board that has the performance that he was satisfied with. In April 2017, with the ease of access to all the parts and manufacturers, Kieran started building a board for himself to use. Most Chinese electric skateboard manufacturers are not E-skaters, and their board’s performance annoyed Kieran when he was using them for his daily commute. Kieran expressed his frustration to his boss, and guess what did his boss do? When those boards inevitably broke down, they were returned for refund and repair, which end up costing the company money. The way most Chinese manufacturers conduct their business is to push sales at all cost.īoards with quality issues were knowingly sold to customers. The problem, according to Kieran, lies in the quality of the board.
