In early 2017, after much research into electric skateboards, MEEPO founder Kieran realized that the industry lacked boards that were both low-cost and reliable. In turn, he built a DIY eskate for himself in order to make his daily commute more enjoyable. After Kieran uploaded a short video about it on Youtube, suddenly lots of people from all over the world wanted him to build one for them too. At that point, MEEPO Board was born.
