Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines, and
the other day I was thinking about what interesting I should choose for next review.
I was lucky enough to meet a clever man and he adviced me the following topic.
You may know such a youtuber as Casey Neistat its well known person I think, but the matter
is that he made an electric skateboard an extremely popular mean of transport!
Numerous videos and views its clear there is a general hype about the boards.
That is why it was so interesting for me to test one, but you know boosted boards seem
to me rather expensive and I decided to buy a cheap Chinese version on Aliexpress – lets
do it!
Well there is a huge choice of various electric boards but I liked this variant.
Good sellers reputation and feedback and decent specs of the board made me finally decide
to buy this board.
And the price is quite affordable its only 400 dollars.
Well lets try it!
Three weeks later we got it…
Lets have a closer look what we finally got.
The length of this longboard is 970 mm the weight is slightly more than 8 kilos.
It is well built device.
The board is made of a Canadian Maple plywood, so its rather durable and its payload is 120
kilos!
The top coating provides a perfect traction with feet for comfortable riding.
All the electric components are in the box under the board.
There is a thick antivibration shim between the board and the box.
The lithium battery 6.6 AH.
Then there are two hub motors 300 watts each, so the total power is 600 watts.
The metal parts look very robust and solid.
The wheels are 90 mm diameter covered with polyurethane (полиурисейн) – a
very durable material.
The handling by this remote controller.
There a joystick its throttle and brakes and there are three modes of riding, eco, standard
and sport.
Then we see here battery indicator, that’s all.
Well lets take a ride!
First thing I want to mention – this longboard produces so many impressions on me!
It a way more emotional device than any electric scooter for example!
The drive and speed is felt much deeper.
By the way its my second time of riding a skate in my life!
The first time was a day ago.
I saw a video on youtube a skate for beginners and then it took me several hours of practice,
and now I can ride quite confidently as you can see.
Firstly I rode awkwardly but the more I was riding the more I liked it and now I even
can say that I feel the board as a part of my body.
And thanks to the three modes.
The beginner mode is perfect for dummies like me but now I am comfortably riding in the
second mode.
But the sport mode still is quite frightening for me.
Lets see the launch start on the sport mode!
As we can see it is a very brisk start, almost a burnout isn’t it?
Two motors 300 watts each it is a significant power for a longboard.
Well a rapid start its an awesome thing, but also we are interested in maximum speed and
most important in range!
We will see these features later and now I should say I want somebody else to compete
with!
We invited a unicycle rider to take part in our video.
Its 2000 watts Solowheel Extreme – one of the best American devices.
Well take bets who the faster is an electric longboard or unicycle .
We are going to arrange a drag race now!
Lets do it right now!
Firstly the unicycle starts faster.
But then I am picking up speed and overtake him on the finish!
So we can make a conclusion that the longboard is definitely faster!
We will check it maximum speed soon, and by the way other several tries of drag racing
show us the same result.
Well the unicycle is not so fast as longboard, but is significantly better on a rough terrain.
Due to the big wheel it can go cross country and even jump over some obstacles!
Though our longboard is also a perfect offroader!
If seriously it is only for a good asphalt.
It possible to ride on earth roads but it will eat the battery much faster in this case.
As to the paving tile – its completely no problem as you can see.
Polyurethane provides soft and comfortable riding on tile.
Now lets check the brakes.
We are braking simultaneously, but the unicycle stops much faster.
Then I should mention that a unicycle is much more maneuverable, though I can do this on
the longboard!
Moreover if the battery is dead, the only way to carry a unicycle its in your hands,
and as to the longboard we still can ride on it!
The next day early in the morning we checked the maximum range!
We use a simple app gps odometer to measure the distance.
Lets start!
The road is even the weather is fine, so all the conditions are comfortable for the test.
By the way me weight is 90 kilos, it is important for the maximum possible range.
Meantime I rode 17 km and my phone is almost dead so we take another phone and proceed
the measuring there.
And now lets check the maximum speed.
Well the maximum speed is 34 kmh.
Quite a decent result!
Though according to the official specs the maximum speed is 40 kmh, but I think it is
possible only with a lighter rider.
Well we are moving on and the battery is still alive!
According to the official specs the range is from 15-25 km, but we want to know exactly.
To tell the truth I got tired by the time, that is why I rode sitting on the board, and
trying to kill the battery.
And finally we got it.
The battery is dead now.
Lets see the results.
The second phone shows us 5.4 km plus the result on the first phone, so totally we have
the result 26 km!
26 km range its even slightly more that in official specs.
A decent result for an electric longboard, I think!
Lets sum it up now.
This longboard is good quality device with quite decent speed and range and its quite
affordable in comparison with other brands, so I really liked it!
Guys please post your comments what you think about the longboard, And it is very interesting
for me if it is much worse than boosted board and why?
