As someone who commutes 3 miles each way 4 days a week on a Yuneec E-GO, I'm laughing at the article's "Unfortunately its 1000 watts will only get you up to 18mph". Either the writer hasn't actually ridden it, or they're an experienced downhill longboarder :)
Even on the E-GO's (larger) 90mm wheels, 12 MPH is quite enough on a lot of the uneven pavement I encounter.
FWIW, the E-GO is a great deal for $700, and the range is considerably more. Maybe if I had to replace it I'd consider Boosted's product.
- skdoo 12y agoIf you would like to try a Boosted board, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the differences between the two.
