The future of transportation is electric, and with that shift comes a new way to teach and innovate around electric vehicles. Lectec’s RailCore system is an innovative, modular platform that allows students, educators, and DIY enthusiasts to electrify various types of vehicles, from skateboards to bikes, in a hands-on, engaging way.
What Is the RailCore System?
The RailCore system is a modular electric vehicle platform designed to be adaptable across multiple vehicles. Whether you're building an electric skateboard, scooter, or bike, RailCore provides the backbone that powers it all. The system includes a central power rail that connects to key components like battery and controller modules. This modular design makes it easy to switch out parts and customize the vehicle, allowing users to explore different configurations and upgrades as they build.
More than just a power system, RailCore also features a data rail, which allows for real-time monitoring of key performance metrics such as speed, battery levels, and energy efficiency. This makes the system not only practical but also a valuable tool for learning and experimentation.
What Makes RailCore Unique?
The RailCore system stands out for several key reasons:
1. Modularity
Unlike traditional electric vehicle kits, RailCore is fully modular. This means that each component—battery, controller, data rail—can be easily swapped out, upgraded, or customized based on the user’s needs. Whether you're building an electric skateboard today and want to switch to an electric scooter tomorrow, RailCore adapts, making it a long-term investment in learning and creativity.
2. Cross-Platform Compatibility
The beauty of RailCore is that it can be used across multiple vehicles. It’s not restricted to just skateboards or bikes—you can use the same system to power a wide range of electric motor platforms. This cross-platform compatibility makes it especially valuable for schools or workshops where you want flexibility in your projects without needing different kits for each type of vehicle. We’ve even had a client who used it to electrify a wheelchair!
3. Data Monitoring and Experimentation
RailCore’s data rail adds a unique dimension to the learning experience. Students and users can monitor key performance metrics like speed, battery life, and energy consumption in real-time, providing valuable data for analysis and experimentation. This makes the RailCore system more than just a building project—it’s a tool for scientific exploration.
4. Scalable and Future-Proof
As technology evolves, so can the RailCore system. Its modular design allows for future expansions and upgrades, meaning that future features—like advanced sensors or even AI integration—may be added as they become available. This ensures that the RailCore system remains relevant and useful as both technology and learning environments continue to advance.
The RailCore system is a revolutionary step forward in how we teach, learn, and innovate around electric vehicles. Its modular design, cross-platform compatibility, and real-time data capabilities set it apart from traditional electric vehicle kits, making it a powerful tool for STEM education and beyond. Whether in the classroom, at a camp, or in a DIY setting, RailCore empowers users to take control of their learning and creativity, transforming the way we engage with electric vehicle technology.
With the RailCore system, Lectec is not only making electric vehicle projects more accessible—they’re inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, and innovators.
