Imagine carving down a ski slope — on any street, any season. Meet SKWHEEL, the French-made electric ski reinventing micro-mobility. Two motorised skis, a patented Carve-E1 pivot system and dual braking let you lean into your turns at speeds up to 80 km/h. From city pavements to forest trails and beaches, every surface becomes your slope. Clean, thrilling, all-terrain — we're not building another scooter. We're bringing the mountain to everyone.

00:00Hi everyone
00:02Thank you for being here. It's a kind of an habit for us as Eric introduced just before
00:09We were at the exact same place one month ago for the Concours Les Pines
00:15This invention won the gold medal of of the concours
00:20It's making sense because what I'm about to present you is actually a real invention
00:27something
00:29normally you haven't seen before unless
00:33you already
00:34seen or ads or
00:38Interviews, but no one else ever built such a product
00:43So let me start by
00:47Explaining the start of this project the starts
00:51Come from three young guys
00:55Joseph, our CEO
00:57Romain, our CEO
01:01And Antoine, the inventor of the Squills
01:09You will tell me, who's the guys on stage then?
01:14I'm actually one of the early stage investor of the company and I'm here today because
01:19Joseph is currently traveling the u.s. signing new partnership to sell the products
01:24And Antoine and Romain just come back from China where they're launching the new production and we weren't sure
01:30They went on time
01:32So they call me and say yeah, please do a pitch on on vivatex something small noise
01:39Here we are
01:42Antoine has a dream as I should say
01:46Being able to
01:50Experience the skiing
01:54Sensation everywhere every time because he's a fan of ski
02:00The thing you should know about that one is he live in Normandy
02:04For those who don't know what Normandy is
02:09Flat absolutely no mountain no snow so you can imagine we used to say innovation come from constraints
02:15Here you get it you would like to ski there is no snow no one thing
02:20So he created the square
02:25This is the invention we're talking about this is the two model we are
02:31Actually selling at the moment. It's available on Indiegogo for $19.99
02:38The two purse actually brings six patents
02:43The most important one beside all those we discover later is the car V1 technology
02:50The car V1 technology is the front wheel
02:55pivots
02:57Which allows you to carve exactly like ski and
03:02That's really the promise of the products. We are not yet another mobility product
03:08You won't see squirrel everywhere like like like scooters or bikes
03:13No, we are selling an experience something completely new a new sports
03:18The guys who are riding this are riders
03:23It's the experience of riding. It's the journey not the destination
03:28of course you can
03:31Go to the bakery and buy your baguettes every day with quill. No problem with that for sure
03:37But this product I'd be designed to go all-terrain
03:42I won't go into the details about the technical stuff again available on Indiegogo for $9.99
03:51Our go-to-market strategy is actually relying on
03:55specialized shops why we don't want to go with
03:59Retailers or mass market we are building actually what we call a community of early adopters
04:05We are building something that turn every customers into ambassadors
04:12Because they help us make the product tests for all the customers. They answer a question on on group chats
04:19Within customers without even the team needing to answer. That's what we are going today
04:25We are actually building something new and the product adjusts a
04:30A portion of that
04:34So where we are
04:37If there is some
04:38French people here you may heard a famous businessman
04:44That were doubtful about the ability of three young guys in Normandy to build such a product at scale
04:53I'm happy to announce you that the product you're going to see is actually the second generation
04:58The guys built the squeal one one year ago and sold out the first production
05:04This product today is the second iteration is the peak and the peak s
05:09They are at the moment available all over the globe
05:15And we are starting the production now
05:23Thank you very much
05:24But before I leave
05:27I will not just give you pictures or imagine what this is
05:34Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Antoine the inventor of the squeals
05:46Hello everybody
05:48So here you can see the products fresh fresh from the factory from china

05:58So you have the remote control that actually helps you to accelerate brakes active light for visibility
06:04Exactly. Yes, and after yes, yeah
06:08Demonstrate the carving experience. Yes to turn I have just to lean my body on the right on the left
06:15To turn to activate our pattern system
06:17Named curve E1 system
06:20Yes, yes the curve E1 technology
06:22That's low and if you go back a bit more
06:26Just two more
06:28Let me introduce you to Victor Mufat
06:32Okay, that guy is just an olympic medalist of alpine ski
06:38Yes, all the pattern we co-develop all the pattern with professional skier
06:42So it's a really like skiing. Yes, and after utilization
06:47You can take this remote in your hand. You can clip some between the two skis directly
06:53Like that
06:56And like that
06:59No shoes specific for the ski any shoes anytime
07:04And obviously the versatility is needed if you would like to travel in the city
07:12That's the purpose of that is to be able to go to a baguette. That's why
07:21Is anyone have a question because I have a couple of for you guys
07:25Today the company is at the turning points. Our second production has been launched
07:31and
07:32and

07:49So we are actually growing very very fast anti-gogo crowdfunding just sold out in a couple of hours
07:57We are also looking for partners distributors
08:01To help us develop this because from obviously from france
08:04It would be difficult. So we are also looking for partners to develop the
08:08The distribution channel so if anyone is belonging to that please don't hesitate to have a chat with the team
08:19Hi
08:20Thomas French
08:22In release skis users use boots to prevent of
08:27Risks of working legs and injuries
08:32right
08:33You don't
08:35Fine you you can use these skis with your own shoes and there are no risk of injuries. Yes. No,
08:42no, no
08:43Special shoes you with all of the shoes from 36 to 50 in a
08:49European
08:51And then yes, this sport is actually helping you to do that
08:58Yes
09:00What's replaced the ski shoes that's actually we have a special trap. Yes strap like snowboard and customization this drop
09:08so uh
09:09It's very comfortable. Yes
09:12So we are sorry we cannot make you test here at vivatec
09:17Because the problem is you need to run faster that the security guy that go after you
09:22We test it in vegas at the cest like big in january. Yes, okay. They were cool, but
09:30We you can go fast, so that's fine. Yeah
09:33They don't joke with security in the us especially at the moment
09:38No question. Yes, please
09:45Hi, I'm tahani. This is really exciting. Thank you for sharing
09:49Um, I just have a quick question. I'm not a skier, but I've heard that sometimes they do have like
09:54a
09:55Safety strategy to dismount immediately while you're skiing. Let's say for example if you need to do that. Absolutely
10:01Do you have something similar in this product? Is it something that you're looking into? Is it even required?
10:07Absolutely, so there is no
10:09Mechanism to get ejected basically from from the squirrel
10:14They remain fixed on your on your foot because they are actually quiet
10:20That quite short compared to ski what's made the ski?
10:24I don't know the name in English right for you for that but they should say ejects by the way
10:29It's because it's quite very long and could actually hurt your knees
10:33Right, so if the goes your knees just broken and that's it with that
10:38I I won't say that if you fall
10:41It will be safe. I'm not saying that but so far
10:47It's like in bike or in moto if you fall you need to have a helmet and gloves this
10:52And I'm the I'm the investors
10:55I'm not driving this that they are
10:58They are crazy
11:00Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so so much Thibault. Can we have a round of applause again for this?
