Yeah, you read that right. There are some really awesome electric skateboards out there! And, given that it’s the height of summer, what cooler way to ride around? While you’ve likely never considered shopping for an electric skateboard (that’s just fun to type!) we’ve got a few that are worth your time. If you’re looking to cruise around and enjoy the warm weather, try these awesome skateboards!
Acton Blink QU4TRO
The $1,700 Acton Blink QU4TRO has a ton of power and can really move. If you’re looking to strap on a helmet and really go for a ride, try this one out. It has a hub motor for each wheel and can go over 20 MPH. One of the most powerful electric skateboards on the market, it can travel over twenty miles on a single charge! The downside to all that power, of course, is that the board is heavy. It weighs somewhere around 25 pounds, so it’s not quite as zippy or light as other boards. The suspension compensates for that when in use, but it’s definitely a lot to lug around. If you’re looking for a powerful electric skateboard, though, this is the one for you!
ZBoard 2 Blue
This board is unique in that it doesn’t use a remote controller to power the motor. Instead, you lean on the foot pedals to accelerate or slow down, which is super-intuitive. It’s also very wide and somewhat heavy, coming in at 17 pounds. It moves pretty fast, around 20 MPH, and sports a pretty good battery. If you’re looking for a good board for commuting to class or work, try the ZBoard 2 Blue. It’ll set you back about $1,300, but it’s well worth it for the fun and convenience!
The Coolest Electric Skateboard, Inboard M1
The slick 14-pound Inboard M1 is a skateboard first and electric second. This one is perfect for those who want to enjoy the skatepark but use the motor to cruise home after. Featuring two hub motors and a good bit of power, the Inboard is great for skaters of any skill level, in any environment. The board is quite high-tech, featuring Bluetooth connectivity for controlling the motor and “regenerative breaking.” That unique feature helps put juice back in the battery when breaking, helping extend your rides!
The Inboard also has a swappable battery, allowing you to carry an extra to swap on the fly. This lets you ride for longer without worrying about charging up! This one is the best electric skateboard overall, easily worth its $1,400 price tag.
