The IVY, an electric board, proposes one style for the "minimum personal commuter" of the near future using sensing technology. The rider shifts his or her weight to speed up or slow down and to control forward and reverse movement, creating a whole new operational feel never experienced before. The product proposal, which includes the materials, presents a clean design with sophisticated functions under the banner “Man-Machine Interface”, and is the epitome of an electric vehicle. This is a highly advanced vehicle unlike any skateboard ever seen before, as evidenced by the exterior design and the light and sound that stream from the board while in travel.
