Spnkix Electric Shoe Fashion Release

This is not a new project. At the beginning of last year, "traveller" successfully raised 120 thousand dollars (5 times the target amount) on the crowd raising platform Kickstarter, and sent the finished products to more than 200 people in more than 20 countries in a few months. This is not a new idea. "Peter", the inventor of "traveler", said that the idea of inventing a wearable personal action device almost lasted throughout his life.

But this is a new starting point. Yesterday, "traveler" appeared in the Silicon Valley "North American high-level talent business competition", and stood out from the 23 finals, winning the highest award of 50 thousand dollars. CEO Wang Yurong (Janelle) excitedly said that "traveler" needed this money and more investment to solve the problems of marketing, product mass production and team expansion. She hopes that more people will wear spnKiX.

This is the final spnKiX that the team has developed over the past 5 years and has tested more than 30 design templates. It can be seen that spnKiX is very much like a pair of roller skates, but the striking red wheels are much larger. It is worn directly. shoes It is powered by lithium battery and motor, and the wearer controls the progress and speed by using the wireless remote control. Peter said he used the micro industry technology of smart phones, notebook computers and remote control cars on spnKiX, so that all electronic devices were integrated in spnKiX and aluminum fiber. SpnKiX has a maximum speed of 16 kilometers per hour, and 2 kilometers to 3 hours each time, it can extend 11 kilometers.

As a wearable electric product, operability and battery life remain an unavoidable problem for spnKiX. The first time users may need second people's guidance and practice to adapt to the new external force and balance with this body, but also to be more careful in outdoor use safety. If wireless remote control function can achieve better experience with smart phones, the development of mobile wearable hardware such as spnKiX will make the product level more rich and three-dimensional. Developers can dig deep around their mobility, remote control, entertainment, location based features.

　　 SpnKiX There is also room for cooperation with other intelligent hardware, such as the recent fire smart watch Pebble, or even the Puzzlebox we used to control objects with "mind". Allowing users to have a complete fluency and simple operation experience is certainly better than allowing users to be full of equipment but not tolerate each other.

The battery's endurance is always the weakness of this kind of electric products. Peter has designed the spnKiX battery module as removable, but it's not the best way for users to go out and carry one or two small batteries. Another contestant of the super capacitor storage project was joking that the biggest gain of his participation in the competition was that the next step was to design a super battery for spnKiX.

Janelle, who has worked in Procter & Gamble for many years, has given up the generous salary of multinational companies. Now he is immersed in a business incubator in Losangeles, and has devoted herself to spnKiX. In the past, her experience in participating in large-scale international projects for product promotion has also contributed to her own entrepreneurial projects. She said it was really hard to be a startup company, but it kept on pleasing her with surprises and happiness. Kickstarter It will have such a good response. I didn't expect to launch a series of products very quickly. I didn't expect that spnKiX was played by the users themselves with many new tricks. Some of them didn't even think of the way Peter invented by the inventor. The users gave the product a new definition and functional category.

Janelle also told me happily that Peter was her husband and they had a lovely daughter. Two couples have the same value recognition of life and work. It is pretty good to identify a cause and work together for it.
