Just picked up a second hand one of these relatively cheaply as I know the company went under. Rides a lot easier than I expected and within minutes I was comfortable on the board (I’m 43 yo but did skate a bit as a teen and have snowboarded on and off for the last few years) A lot of fun, just hope I can keep the board going for a few years to make the purchase worth it . . .

That road in your neighborhood is typical of all neighborhoods. The smoothness and vibrations on a kick versus an electric skateboard are basically the same. If you know how to Ollie on a board, you can avoid unexpected cracks and such.
@jamesdaly_tech3 жыл бұрын
I disagree, due to the weight of the board. I can ollie and avoid cracks fine on my usual boards, but trying to ollie an 8kg electric board, where all the weight is at the front, is an entirely different story. You also naturally go faster on an electric board, just due to not having to push, so every bump you hit becomes more forceful

Hey mate, Sydney sider here. I committed to a E-Longboard not long before viewing your initial Boosted Mini review so I missed your warning about riding on our roads. That said, I was wondering if you have any tips for riding around Sydney with an E-Longboard. I live around suburban, but would ideally be commuting in the city.

James Daly I actually picked up the boosted mini x since this last comment. Turns out Best Buy still has a bunch of them. It’s been great. It also turns out that after some research I found a lot of parts for this board can be bought from third party’s and are unbranded parts. Also a lot of support for 3D printed parts as well. So you should be ok unless a major part breaks such as battery, remote or motor. I also think someone will buy out boosted and they are going to be selling parts etc.
