Radium Unleashes Mach One: A High-Speed E-Skateboard for Thrill Seekers

Electric skateboards are often designed for easygoing commutes and casual rides. But Australian startup Radium Performance is shaking things up with the Mach One — a high-performance electric skateboard inspired by Formula 1 racecars, built for speed, agility, and serious adrenaline.

High-Speed Performance Meets Revolutionary Torque Control

The Mach One breaks away from the average electric skateboard—it features a sleek motorsport-inspired design, a carbon fiber deck and delivers blistering performance, easily hitting 45 mph (72 km/h). Powered by dual rear-wheel motors pushing 8,000 watts, it can rocket from 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) in just three seconds.

What truly sets it apart, however, is its game-changing torque vectoring system—the first of its kind on an electric skateboard. This intelligent tech adjusts power between the wheels during turns, improving grip and allowing riders to carve corners with precision and speed.

Built Tough, Rides Smooth

The drive system uses steel-fiber-reinforced urethane belts, said to be the most durable in the e-skate market. Suspension is no afterthought either — the board features single swing-arm suspension at both the front and rear for a stable yet responsive ride.

The 10-inch-wide carbon fiber deck is hollow, providing space for internal components like the 48V/1,089-Wh lithium battery, which offers a range of up to 30 miles (48 km) on a 2-hour charge. Maintenance and upgrades are made easy, thanks to a top panel that can be removed with just eight screws.

Control and Customization

Riders control the Mach One with a wireless handheld remote, while an accompanying mobile app allows users to fine-tune performance settings to match their riding style.

Weighing in at 17 kg (37.5 lb), the Mach One strikes a balance between portability and rugged build quality.
