If it's still a good business excluding this issue someone like musk or Tesla or even a hedge fund could infuse the business with some cash flow that will let them ride out this bump. And boosters have a high brand value and and loyalty. And before this trade war affect they were having a pretty high margin.

Electric skateboards definitely have it's place with its more convenient smaller size. But for actual commuting, bikes will always be where it's at.

I never thought I'd see this. I'm now afraid to ride my board due to the fact of it breaking. I think boosted was foolish for never releasing better priced products or lowering their prices on current products. The competition was constantly releasing lower priced products with better stats. Considering most people buying these are saving up for them, they are gonna go with a better spec'd board at 1/3 of the price. With a fast growing and always changing market, boosted needed to come out with more products, at a better price (or lower pricing). I love my boosted to death, but the specs just aren't there to justify the prices. The performance is lovely and it's smooth, honestly one of the best boards, but for the money..... Idk. For $500 you can get a board that's nearly as smooth, with double the range, and higher top speed. I guess the customer service doesn't matter at this point when they are out of business....

Sad to see them go, but with so many competitors now, Boosted priced themselves out of the market. I recently bought a WowGo 3 and couldn't be happier. It was half the price of a Boosted Board and I can't see any quality differences compared to a Boosted. Electric boards will still be around, and they keep getting better and less expensive. Companies have to adapt. Plus, Boosted was a Silicon Valley startup with too many venture capitalists telling them what to do, too much overhead and office expenses to keep going.

I own a Boosted Plus & the Rev Scooter. This news saddens me because I loved their products & what they did to bring back the thrill of riding outdoors. I'm 53 & LOVE my longboard & scooter. I reside in San Francisco & my Boosted EV's are my mode of transport. I'm hoping they find a buyer that keeps the brand & product line from fading into history.

Any word on OneWheel and how they are doing? I was actually planning to buy one of them this year, I’ve learned to stay off the bleeding edge over the years so I wait till at least ver3 of something to see if it get traction first

What can we boosted board owners do about the belts that we need to repair because of wear and tear?

Wow that's so sad to see Boosted going out of business. My first and only boosted board was the Boosted Mini S. Broke my wrist on it and had to sell it...but damn I still wanted to get another one day down the track.

Well dealer margin before freight is 25-30 percent depending on volume.
