The self-balancing scooters are heavy, in the range of 11 kg, with some problems in maintaining the equilibrium on two wheels that could cause injuries. The electric skateboard is big, requires training, and is mostly dedicated to people that are in good physical shape.” – Dumitru Popescu, ARCA Space Corporation, CEO

ArcaMini, measuring only 40cm on its largest dimension, is able to fit in a backpack. The design is unique allowing for use as a personal transportation vehicle as well as an entertainment and utility vehicle in remote mode. The range while in remote mode is 150m (492ft) allowing for the transportation of various items such as video cameras and luggage. Being entirely made of aluminum and steel alloys, the ArcaMini has a design that was inspired by aerospace rovers used for planetary exploration.
