Project Overview
Radical Transport, backed by Mark Cuban Companies, set out to redefine the hoverboard category with a safer, more reliable product built to address the shortcomings of early-generation devices.
With a strong engineering and industrial design foundation already in place, the team needed a U.S.-based manufacturing partner to bring the product to life. BeraTek partnered with Radical Transport to evaluate, tool, and manufacture all plastic components for the MOOV Hoverboard, ensuring quality, compliance, and scalability from day one.
The Challenge
The Radical team had already developed a highly refined product design, but transitioning from design to manufacturing introduced several critical requirements:
- Ensuring all plastic components were optimized for injection molding
- Maintaining design integrity while improving manufacturability
- Developing tooling capable of consistent, high-volume production
- Meeting strict safety and compliance standards
- Supporting ongoing production with material traceability and audits
Given the scrutiny around hoverboard safety in the market, there was no room for error in either production quality or compliance.
Our Approach
– Design for Manufacturability (DFM)
BeraTek’s engineering team worked closely with Radical Transport to evaluate every plastic component through a manufacturability lens.
This process focused on:
- Identifying potential risks in part geometry
- Refining designs for efficient injection molding
- Preserving the product’s intended aesthetics and performance
By addressing these factors early, the team ensured a smooth transition into tooling and production..
– Tooling & Injection Molding
Once designs were validated, BeraTek developed the required injection mold tooling for all plastic components used in the MOOV Hoverboard.
The manufacturing process included:
- Precision tooling development for complex parts
- Production of all plastic components
- Quality control measures to ensure consistency across runs
This approach enabled reliable, repeatable production at scale.
– Compliance & Ongoing Production Support
Safety and compliance were critical to the success of the MOOV Hoverboard. BeraTek supported ongoing production by facilitating UL audits on all resin materials used throughout each production run.
This included:
- Verifying material consistency and traceability
- Supporting compliance with safety standards
- Maintaining documentation for each production cycle
By integrating compliance into the manufacturing workflow, the product met the high expectations required in the market.
The Results
The MOOV Hoverboard successfully entered the market as a next-generation product designed to improve safety and performance over earlier models.
Through close collaboration and a focus on manufacturability and compliance, Radical Transport was able to:
- Launch a high-quality consumer product
- Maintain consistent production standards
- Ensure material and safety compliance across all runs
The partnership enabled a seamless transition from engineering concept to scalable manufacturing.
Client Feedback
“Manufacturing in the US was very important to us, which is what initially led us to BeraTek. From their competitive pricing to their in-house engineers walking us through the DFM process, we couldn’t have had a more positive experience working with BeraTek.”
— Nick Fragnito, Mark Cuban Companies
Why This Project Matters
The Radical Transport project demonstrates how early alignment between engineering, manufacturing, and compliance can accelerate product launches in highly scrutinized categories.
By combining DFM expertise, precision tooling, and ongoing compliance support, BeraTek helped bring a safer, next-generation hoverboard to market with confidence.
