`
`AboutInventist and the Inventor
`
`Inventist is based in Camas, WA led by founder, president and inventor, Shane Chen. A
`true inventor and tinkerer since he was young, Chen received his collegiate degree in
`agricultural meteorology from Beijing Agricultural University.
`
`In 1986 his passion for inventing guided him to relocate to the U.S. Arriving in America
`with only $200in his pocket, Chen's entrepreneurial spirit lead him to start his own
`company, CID (Chen Instrument Design) http://cid-inc.com/ dedicated to making
`instruments for agricultural research.
`
`Still, Chen had more ideas about scooters, skates and flying machines. So in 2003
`Chen foundedInventist, Inc. which became successful enoughthat he sold his plant
`research device company. Chen wasfinally free to follow his imagination blending his
`unique ability to invent with his love of sports andfitness. In his free time Chen speed
`skates, windsurfs, snowboards, scuba dives, swims, roller blades, Swerver Skates, and

`Inventist is no stranger to creating high-tech portable transport devices! Forall
`Inventist's products, we fuse unique design with advanced technology and engineering
`to deliver ground breaking and fun experiences. We debuted the one
`wheeled, Solowheel last year. Fresh off the heels of our success with the Solowheel,
`Chen decided to make a product that provided immediate enjoymentfor all ages.
`
`After several months of intense research and development, Shane Cheninvented the
`Hovertrax. The Hovertrax is a pioneering example of man meeting machinein everyday
`life. Built with instinctive controls and large foot platforms so riders can easily stand on

`Frequently Asked Questions:
`
`Is the Hovertrax motor powerful? The Hovertrax shownin the photosis a prototype
`with 5" hub motor wheels from another product. The actual Hovertrax will have slightly
`larger hub motor wheels and will be 3 times more powerful. The final productwill look
`identical to the prototype featured, with the addition of larger hub motor wheels.
`
`Is it really as simple as leaning your feet? Totally! By pressing yourtoesslightly
`downward the Hovertrax will move forward. Pressing the heels backwards will move
`the Hovertrax in reverse. Move them separately to turn or even spin!
`Howwill the quality be controlled? Of course, quality control is especially important

`because the Hovertrax carries the rider. To ensure the highest caliber production the
`Hovertrax will be produced in our Washington state headquarters. Wewill also put the
`Hovertrax through a variety of safety tests.

`sensors and producttesting measures.

`Is the Hovertrax safe? The Hovertrax has auto-balancing capabilities, meaningit will
`automatically catch the rider. Without any handlebarsin the way, the rider can step off

`and traditional skateboards and bicycles. You can use the Hovertrax at the park or mall

`
`Risks and challenges
`
`We love a good design challenge! A fully functional and exciting Hovertrax prototype
`has been made. Though there are always technical challenges, because of our
`successwith the Solowheel, we've weeded out a lot of issues. The Hovertrax already
`benefits from our experience with gyros, motors and batteries. Now we needto fine
`tune the programming before going into production. Our mission is to perfect the final
`product!
