5th Wheel Skate Co.

Keep your board. Add the power.

The world’s first instant electric conversion kit for a street skateboard. It straps on in about ten seconds, and it comes off just as fast.

Why it matters

Nobody has built this before

Every other way to ride electric asks you to buy a different board. 5th Wheel does not. It works with the deck under your feet right now — your trucks, your grip, your setup — and when you want to skate, it comes off in seconds and leaves nothing behind.

Four parts, nothing permanent

The hub wheel, the pack, the riser and the remote — photographed on real boards, with the full spec.

Built by a skater who refused to stop

A dislocated knee, nerve damage, a brace every day — and a way to keep covering ground.
