I joined the Pramash Boards team as the lead Mechanical Design Engineer during the company's startup stages. My responsibilities were focused on implementing solutions and design choices that will enable LeanBoard to make the transition from sketches, to a fully working model ready to test. I worked closely with Enzo Pramanesh, the inventor, to ensure that every design step complied with his expectations and his visions for the product. My activities involved performing Finite Element Analysis of major components to adequately predict the behavior of the product under realistic loading conditions,  analyzing design alternatives to allow for an expansion on the product line of LeanBoard and incorporating engineering change instructions to achieve the most cost-efficient manufacturing practices.

The final design was a product that separates itself quite a lot from the other regular skateboards on the market. Lean Board prototypes proved to be stable while at the same time extremely responsive. The board’s low center of gravity provided better handling and stability for the rider at any riding scenario thanks to its fully adjustable spring. The truck’s linkage geometry was designed with the purpose of providing a direct connection between the rider and the steering, making the board highly responsive to the rider’s input.
