As Seen on Shark Tank
Lectec caught the attention of Shark Tank judges and viewers across the country for one simple reason - it makes learning feel like play. Jared and Luke set out to reinvent how kids engage with STEM by letting them build real, rideable electric vehicles from scratch. Each kit comes complete with all the parts, tools, and instructions needed to transform a box of components into a fully functional electric skateboard or scooter.
For families watching at home, it wasn’t just a cool invention - it was a glimpse into how learning can spark genuine excitement and prid

A Gift That Stands Out
Every grandparent knows the joy of finding that one special gift that lights up their grandchild’s face. Lectec kits do just that - but they also keep that excitement alive long after the wrapping paper is gone. Instead of another toy that gets forgotten in a week, this is a hands-on experience that teaches kids how things work.
From unboxing the components to seeing the wheels spin for the first time, kids learn through doing - connecting gears, wiring, installing electronics, and learning from educational videos throughout the assembly process. It’s the kind of project that builds confidence and curiosity at the same time.

Designed for ages 8–14, Lectec kits are made for young builders but loved by everyone in the family. Grandparents & parents often find themselves sitting beside their grandkids, helping with assembly and sharing the joy of discovery together. The step-by-step process is intuitive, so even those without technical experience can follow along.
The best part? The sense of accomplishment when the ride comes to life - a moment that often turns into a proud family memory.

Learn While You Build
At its heart, Lectec is about transforming curiosity into understanding. Every step in the build teaches something new - from basic electronics to physics concepts like torque, motion, and energy transfer.
This hands-on approach builds skills that stick, encouraging kids to see themselves as future engineers, designers, and problem solvers. Or at the very least, know what a bearing is!

Lectec kits deliver what families value most in a holiday gift: connection, learning, and joy. They’re screen-free, encourage critical thinking, and reward creativity. Instead of a short-lived toy, you’re giving an experience that leads to lasting memories - of building, riding, and learning together.
Safe, Smart, and Real Fun
Lectec’s kits are designed with real engineering principles but built for safety. Each ride features adjustable speed settings, giving kids a chance to learn at their own pace while parents and grandparents feel confident about safety. The durable components and modular design mean it’s built to last and easy to upgrade or repair later.
With these thoughtful safety features, kids get the thrill of building and riding, and adults get peace of mind knowing it’s been engineered for real-world use.
