Shane Chen (Chinese: 陈星;[1] born 10 February 1956 in Beijing, China) is a Chinese-American inventor and entrepreneur based in Camas, Washington.[2] He is best known for inventing the self-balancing hoverboard.[3][4]
Chen grew up in Beijing, China and attended Beijing Agricultural University for a degree in agricultural meteorology.[5] A difficult environment for starting and growing businesses in mid-1980s China led Chen to immigrate to America in search of better opportunities.[6]
