Future Motion VS 中國常州第一貿易商

人：Future Motion VS 中國常州第一貿易商(CHANGZHOU FIRST INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO., LTD.)

事：在美國國際消費電子展(CES)，美國法警搜查中國常州第一貿易商之電動滑板

時：2016/1

地：U.S.A

物：美國法警沒收名為Trotter的獨輪自平衡滑板車以及展區的所有宣傳材料。Future Motion的設備名為OneWheel，並在2014年CES上就展示了這產品。

摘要：

OneWheel通過Future Motion網站的售價為1500美元。Future Motion創始人凱爾·多爾科森(Kyle Doerksen)於兩年前放棄了在愛達荷州設計師的工作，開發了這款品。他於去年12月向常州第一貿易商發出了禁止通知函，要求國常州第一貿易商停止銷售品，但沒有收到任何回應。在今年CES開展之前，多爾科森曾試圖阻止該公司的參展，但沒有成功。他表示：“如果用戶看到市場上充斥低質量的廉價品，那麼將給所有人造成不良印象。我們不希望有人破壞整個市場。”
