Two reasons.

1. We're starting with a great longboard - one that would cost over $300 if you bought it alone.

2. We're using advanced and expensive motor and battery technology. The kind seen in electric motorcycles and cars, but never in bikes or scooters.

The reason the price is so high is because we built the first ones for ourselves, not for customers, and we only used the best ingredients. We have no intention of compromising that, even if it means less volume, because the end result is worth it.
