Since you seem to ride one of these a lot, I'm curious if you ever used a long board before. How you would feel if you had to use a long board instead of a boosted board for a day?
It seems insane to me to charge a skateboard, but since I've moved to a very hilly area it does make sense, just maybe not at 1500 bucks for me.
- skdoo 10y agoHi - one of the founders here. I'd never skateboarded or longboarded before working on this project. I found I used a Boosted board very differently than I would use a longboard - for me it's replaced many car trips and many Uber/Lyft rides. This made up for the price quite quickly.
- eyeareque 10y agoIt might sound like a lot of money but once you try one you're going to see how much fun they are. They really are well built too. I think the same loaded longboard without a motor or batteries is over 300 dollars. Boosted didn't go cheap any aspects of the board, it very well built and designed. I have used a longboard and I also grew up skateboarding/surfing/snowboarding/etc. I also have a carver board. I love all types of skateboards, but this one is something else. I would say it most reminds me of snowboarding, especially when carving at high speeds.
- etrautmann 10y agoIt's replaced my car, so $1500 was absolutely worth it for me. Solves the last mile problem perfectly and ALSO is incredibly fun. I did longboard before - not sure why skateboarders seem to dislike the idea of electric boards so much.
