My son is enjoying his new "toy" he can ride to the store and back.

Ok, so I'm mostly old now, and I haven't skateboarded in years. I have a small battery assisted bike that I bring to race tracks to get around in the pits, but sometimes the camper van has too much in it to bring that bike along. This seemed to be a daring opportunity for a replacement of the bike, but the hill climbing ability was intriguing to me.

I got the V6 version. It arrived complete with some tools. I haven't skateboarded in years, and the trucks moved around a whole lot more than I expected. So, I've actually been tightening them up so that it is a bit more stable at faster speeds. How fast does it go? The claim is that it can go 12MPH, and I think that's probably very, very accurate without pulling out the GPS and such. But it is fast enough that I recognize that I'm going pretty quick and if I were to hit a bad spot in the pavement, I might fall over at a very good speed.

The hand control seems to work well. The brake can be abrupt. If one panics a little bit and really rolls the brake control abruptly, it can be a little upsetting for one's balance. Board to hand control connectivity is absolutely not an issue. Works great!

The construction seems to be good. This is an attractive board! Wheels have been holding up well during my short stints. The powered drive is only from one wheel. I think the hand control is mostly intuitive, and it seems durable.

This might be a little over my ability. I think I will continue to learn and challenge myself and enjoy it though too.

I'm writing this review from the perspective of what may not be the target audience for this board. I'm a 50-something former skateboarder (i.e. in the 1970s) who has miles of paved bike and pedestrian trails at my disposal. I am 240 pounds. I am looking to e-board on these trails and decided to try a "beginner" board to see if this is a hobby I can/should pick up again. This board is (on their site) more targeted to smaller kid/teen beginner riders, although the max weight limit for this board is 264 (greater than many other eboards for sale). The board was well packaged and the construction of the board is excellent.

This board has 4 speed settings. 1 (lowest) is not even a slow walking pace and therefore was a bit difficult to stay balanced. I quickly progressed up to the highest level and found moving at speed (max of 12 mph claimed) was actually easier to stay balanced. Being a larger person, I find the trucks to be a bit loose, even after tightening them several times with the included wrench. This is my primary gripe with the board at this point. The trucks will probably be fine for a smaller/lighter person. There's a bit of learning curve in getting used to the feel of the "braking" function. This setting is not adjustable for faster/harder breaking like on some other boards, and the function on this board worked fine for gradually slowing down but wouldn't stop you quickly if you ever needed to.

The claimed max range on the board is 8-10 miles. I ride on pretty flat ground and was down to less than 25% of battery in 5.5 miles. I could probably get close to 7 miles. Again, this will vary with the size of the rider. This board struggled to get me up the handful of slight upward gradients.

In summary, this board is pretty much what it claims to be on the website - a beginner board for smaller folks. If you are a larger person, or looking for longer range, you may quickly outgrow this board. After a few more rides confirming my interest in this sport, I will probably upgrade to a larger board with greater power and battery capacity. The price point on this board is quite low compared to boards with more capability, so you should decide whether investing in an "entry" board like this prior to potentially upgrading is worth it for you.

I got the v6 bc of my budget but. its a great first electric skateboard. Now that i feel confrontable on the v6 i am planning on upgrading. Highly recommend.

I have the v-6, I was having trouble deciding which one to buy, the v-8 or the v-6. I think I made the best choice. My grandkids are completely in love with their skateboards. I had an issue with low power but after speaking with customer service it turned out that I didn’t read the instructions very well and there are four different power levels.
Highly recommend this company.

As a college student, classes were pretty far so i decided to buy this board. Been using it for 3 months now and and it has been great. Battery life is amazing and lasts me my entire week before I have to charge. Constantly is on sale and well worth if price is under 200$. Board is strong and doesn’t feel like it will break. The wheels are pretty big and is nice to get around on bumpy roads on. The board is pretty self explanatory to use. One thing is that the board comes very loose so if you don’t like a loose board, it comes with a tool to tighten it.

Bought this skateboard for my son to use. He says it is stable and keeps a charge.

I got this for my son's birthday. It's everything he hoped for. Goes fast for his likings. He likes it has different gear settings. Charges fast and can go the distance! 5 star recommended!!

I’ve always wanted to ride a skateboard, but could never get enough balance to keep it in motion. The break is convenient for getting on and off. It’s easy to use. It’s also worth the money.
