Metroboard first took shape way back in 2003 after owner and inventor Ilan Sabar, an avid skateboarder and Stanford-educated mechanical engineer who honed his craft at Hewlett Packard, spotted a clunky, homemade electric skateboard lumbering down the street. His interest piqued, Sabar took to his Portland, Oregon garage and the Metroboard electric skateboard was born.
Sabar set out to research the electric skateboards of the time and was dismayed to learn that each weighed nearly 50 lbs, had wired controllers, and were exceedingly expensive.
He knew he could do better, and that burning passion is what has fueled Sabar to continue innovating and pioneering the Metroboard electric skateboard into the most advanced, most powerful, and longest range electric skateboard on the market today.
