Powered skateboards admittedly had a somewhat rocky start. They first saw the light of day in the mid-’70s, but because they had to be gasoline-powered, they emitted a hideously loud and massive odor. Now, however, electric skateboards offer an exciting alternative to regular skateboards and hoverboards and have become unparalleled popularity for campus travelers and urban commuters who want to get from point A to point B with minimal effort and maximum style. Powered by an electric motor, these boards are usually remotely controlled, and some can reach speeds of up to about 30 MPH. There are about 20 different large companies that manufacture these electric skateboards, and there are about 50 individual boards to choose from. We’ve ranked the top ten best boards so you don’t have to experiment.

There are several important factors to consider when buying an electric skateboard: Construction, range, weight, wheels, breakouts, battery type, torque, etc. Some of these variants are more important to riders than others, so please take this list as we believe we have the best quality in the Top ten boards – not the boards that will be the best for everyone.

That being said, this is our top-rated electric skateboard. The Genesis Hellfire Electric Skateboard comes with white, orange, or green wheels and has unique features that set it apart from other skateboards in this price range.

For starters, this card just looks great from all angles. It is a rather lean, solid, and well-made board, with strong but strong colors that are not too flashy. It can also reach speeds of up to 20 MPH and go 20 miles per charge at max speed. Hellfire also has a lightweight, 2.5-hour battery, which is crucial when it comes to electric skateboards as it makes up a large portion of the battery’s overall weight and range.

We were also impressed with this board’s ability to conquer some steep hills. It could easily climb at angles of up to 20 degrees. (This of course depends on the weight of the rider. We tested this with a 170-pound drive, but the board can handle someone up to 264 pounds.) This board’s impressive climbing ability doesn’t come from a powerful 800W motor in a small piece. It has a charging time of only 2.5 hours.

And we know this might not sound like a huge deal, but unlike many other electrical panels, the Hellfire comes fully assembled – so you can start riding the second you open the box.Runner Up Upgraded Dual + 2000W Electric Skateboard Buy Now – Around $1,299

A major factor in deciding which board to put the #1 spot on was cost. For the average person considering entering the world of electric skateboards, getting into quad treads is simply out of the question. However, for those of you who have money to throw around, this board might be the one for you.

Right after the battalion, the name should catch your attention. Yes, this Boosted board is powered by a 2,000-watt motor, giving this board the best torque and raw power we’ve seen in an electric skateboard. And this motherboard’s dual-drive system means you can accelerate from any hill at almost unbelievable speed and then brake to a full stop on your turn.

We’re also impressed with the extra smooth transitions between different speeds on this card. Some of the cards in the triple-digit range had what appeared to be the pesky speed measurement, which led to slightly jarring movements when changing power levels.

The overall build quality and feel of this card are also pretty impressive. It’s made of 100% bamboo and you can really feel it while you ride. This board has incredible flexibility, handling, and maneuverability – all features that will be music to the ears of surfers and snowboarders, which is why many electric skateboards are dissatisfied with the relatively stiff feel. Everyone else Maxfind New Design Dual Motor Electric Skateboard Buy Now – $599

Now, back to electrical panels in the price range of a normal human budget. This Maxfind Dual Motor board is a great choice for someone who has more money than a Genesis Hellfire pickup and has many of the same features but a different look. The Maxfind comes equipped with a super reliable Samsung Lithium-ion battery and weighs in at just 12 pounds, it’s incredibly portable and feels smooth, especially around curves. It has a charge time of 60 minutes, which is quite reasonable, however, its maximum speed is 17 MPH, which may be a factor for those who like the 20 MPH hack. Its maximum mileage is around 10 miles, which is respectably more, and its 8-ply maple frame means you won’t be smashing this board any time soon. In general, this cardYuneec E-GO2 Electric Longboard Skateboard Buy Now – $599

Around the same price as the Maxfind, the Yuneec E-GO2 is an electric motor longboard – capable of going at reasonable speeds (up to around 13 MPH depending on the rider’s weight) at impressive speeds (about 18 mph). . Given this card’s sleek, clean look, range, and speed, we recommend this card to anyone who doesn’t spend a lot of time riding a board in general: non-skaters, non-surfers, and the non-snowboarders among us. The E-GO2 is an excellent starting point as it gives you a reliable positive braking system, reliable and fast-acting cruise control, and kick-up shape that gives you more control and better steering. This board was also able to survive light rain. This means when you run out of water and need to walk home, Benchwheel Dual 1800W Electric Skateboard B2 Buy Now – $549

Another highly-priced yet impressive electric skateboard is the Inboard Technology M1. This dark and rather sinister board is extremely popular with more experienced riders and comes with a power shift battery; There are also integrated LED lights (white at the front and red at the rear) providing the driver with additional safety by making passenger cars and pedestrians more visible at night. The M1 (with a maximum speed of 22 MPH and a range of about 8 miles) adds a surprisingly light yet robust wood-core composite material, increasing agility, and comes with a 1000-watt motor, Bluetooth connectivity, and electronic regenerative. break. A strong option for drivers who can afford it.SWAGTRON SwagBoard NG-1 Electric Longboard Buy Now – $209

Buy Acton Blink Lite – $249

Finally, we arrive at the Acton Blink Lite, which claims to be the world’s lightest electric skateboard. And while we haven’t personally evaluated the veracity of this claim, the time you picked up this little guy is believable. Like other cards in this price range, its top speed (around 10 MPH), for the price, this motherboard is pretty reliable, relatively secure (it has built-in LED security lights), and a respectable 5 mph on a single charge. And if you can run out of juice, don’t worry. This motherboard lives up to the name, weighing just 7.7 pounds; meaning you can easily pick it up and return home to charge when needed. Considering the weight, price, regenerative braking, and integrated LED lighting system, this board is perfect for young kids looking to find a new way to school or work.
