What is a prototype?
A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:
Proof of Concept
Explorations that test ideas and functionality.
Functional Prototype
Demonstrates the functionality of the final product, but looks different.
Appearance Prototype
Looks like the final product, but is not functional.
Design Prototype
Appearance and function match the final product, but is made with different manufacturing methods.
Production Prototype
Appearance, function, and manufacturing methods match the final product.

To make the product affordable, KickStarter units are priced close to estimated cost.

- Retail Price will be $599.
- The first 5000 KickStarter Backers save $200, and get it for $399.
- MONEY BACK guarantee if we do not meet our goal.

Electric Skate Sticks support our Sporting Exosuit endeavor:
- Crazy Cool Customer Relationships
- Powertrain Components Supply Chain Partnerships

Risks and challenges
This is Rise Robotics' first rodeo delivering a product direct to consumers.
Coaches and advisors are here to spot pitfalls and prevent them.
So we have time to learn from mistakes and make course corrections, we will deliver 18 months after successfully reaching our crowdfunding goal. If all goes well, we may be able to do it much faster.
If it costs more than anticipated, we will give customers transparency into the choices we have.
