# Speedy Carbon Fiber Skateboards The KingKong Pro is an Electric Board for All Skill Levels By Joey Haar | Published 2018-03-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kingkong-pro References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/kingkong-pro) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1904926931/kingkong-pro-the-most-affordable-dual-motor-e-skat) Electric skateboards are useful gadgets, but many of the products available on the market can't hold up to the rigors of daily, real-world use; the KingKong Pro is an electric skateboard that has both the power and durability to help riders of all experience levels. The KingKong Pro's deck is covered in a carbon fiber wrap that helps it to resist fatigue after frequent use. It's also IP65 certified waterproof, so riders don't need to hide it away after a rainfall. As far as standard specs go, the board outdoes many of the budget electric skateboards on the market. It has a top speed of 22 miles per hour, a range of 12.5 miles, and the ability to climb hills of a 25 percent incline thanks to a powerful motor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Durable Electric Skateboards:** Opportunity to develop electric skateboards with better durability to withstand frequent use and different weather conditions. - **Carbon Fiber Technology:** Opportunity to explore the use of carbon fiber in various products to enhance their strength and resistance to fatigue. - **Waterproof Gadgets:** Opportunity to create waterproof gadgets for outdoor activities and ensure their functionality even in rainy conditions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment:** Opportunity for sports equipment manufacturers to develop carbon fiber skateboards with improved durability and performance. - **Technology:** Opportunity for technology companies to incorporate carbon fiber technology into various consumer electronic products for better strength and longevity. - **Outdoor Gear:** Opportunity for outdoor gear manufacturers to create waterproof gadgets that can be used in various weather conditions without compromising functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Skateboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-skateboard-design.md) - [Flexible Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ff-belt.md) - [Premium Lightweight Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aero-pro.md) - [Racing-Ready Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mach-one-electric-skateboard.md) - [Highly Portable Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zetazs-knight-pro.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Carbon Fiber Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-electric-skateboard-concept.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Carbon Fiber Electric Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinetic-option-tko-001.md)
