Lectec sells kits that let students build their own electric skateboards, scooters and bikes as a STEM project. Co-founder Jared Ebersole had previously built and sold a DIY electric skateboard business he started as a teenager, which CNBC wrote about, and launched Lectec with Luke St. Amand in 2023. On Shark Tank in early 2025, Robert Herjavec invested $100,000 for 15%. The company has since launched Lectec Academy, an online course platform for middle school through college students.
