![]() Only downside of this motor at this moment is the lack of torque uphills. Let go of the throttle and enjoy cruising, re-apply throttle, rinse and repeat. Getting to top speed doesn’t take long at all and its totally smooth getting there. I always preferred a small kick push with the Boosted before gunning the throttle. It’d be hard to get knocked off this thing. Unlike belt driven systems, these hub motors are mellow. I’m looking forward to the firmware update to get that extra top end boost since 20mph can start to feel slow, especially on the straight-aways… Weight is evenly distributed so I found it much easier to carry than the Boosted.īattery is lasting me around 6 miles. The bottom of the board is super smooth matte material that feels great when you’ve got your fingers wrapped around it. Not sure about the exact board weight but it’s easy to carry and if you want to mall grab it, you can do that instead. ![]() I would still prefer an even larger tail, though. This is one of my gripes with the Boosted board. You can do a 180 no problem if you have previous skating experience. One feature that seems to be overlooked, is that this tail is totally functional! I can maneuver in tight spaces like sidewalks. You’re not going to slip during a hard carve. The top of the deck is completely covered as well. Grip tape is very coarse, it feels similar to Vicious. Once you use this system, transitioning over to a Boosted swappable pack seems like a pain in the ass. Swapping the battery in takes seconds <~10 seconds. Deck lid for the battery compartment is easy to use and disappears once you get on your board. Other companies have been integrating batteries into the board deck, but Inboard is leading the way with swappable packs. I plan on removing mine, it's more stealth that way, too.īoard design is incredible. I have no concern over dropping this remote on concrete. Also being able to turn on the remote and board simultaneously is a nice feature. I think this is hands-down the golden standard of remote design. The thumb toggle on the Inboard remote is way bigger than the Boosted and feels extremely solid. Both Boosted and Inboard use a similar remote with safety switch (engaged with pointer finger) and thumb toggle to control acceleration and braking. The only other e-board I've ridden is a Boosted Dual+.īuy this board if you’re interested in a Boosted alternative that offers a huge set of new features like swappable battery packs, hub motor with very little resistance, integrated lights, an even better remote, and (hopefully soon) higher top-speed. Hey guys, I received my Inboard M1 (one of the first 10 Kickstarter backers) last Monday and wanted to chime in with a quick review for people out there who are still on the fence.
