Best Electric Skateboards

Made from 100% bamboo, Boosted 2nd Generation Electric Skateboard is not only strong and springy, but it also provides a highly responsive and playful ride. The deck may not appeal to everyone, but Boosted has done a great job of overlapping the line between stiff and flex here. The deck is certainly springy, but not so much that you feel like you are riding on a trampoline.

Boosted 2nd Generation Electric Skateboard is also well-balanced. It is also easy to pick and carry easily under your arm thanks to the careful positioning of the motors and battery- something that many electric skateboards lack on the market at the moment. Having an electric board that you can easily carry around is paramount if you are planning on using your skateboard to commute, or doing some uninterrupted cruising on flat pavements.

The best thing about Boosted 2nd Generation Electric Skateboard is that it is carefully designed and has finely tuned control system. In most electric boards on the market, the handheld control is sometimes not smooth enough to execute commands, and also most have a flimsy Bluetooth joystick control that has basic forward and back functions- but that is not the case with this board.

This beast bully comes with a propriety wireless controller that has a number of notable features. First, it eschews a simple joystick in favor or dynamic trigger and wheel system. The wheel determines the speed it will reach, while the trigger makes acceleration kick. With this board, even if you roll the wheel forward without holding down the trigger, the board won’t move.

This is nice for several reasons; the first one being that you cannot accidentally bump its throttle and find yourself flying, and second, the large wheel allows for finer control over your speed. This board is not as touchy as most boards on the market.
