Today I show you another beautiful piece of electric machinery.
Meet the electric offroading skateboard Raldey!
And its time to have a proper test of it, lets go!
Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines.
About a year ago I made a review of another electric skateboard.
Though that video wasn’t very popular I personally liked so much to ride an electric
board.
But that board had a drawback.
It needed only perfects roads.
That is why I got interested in the offroading skateboards.
And one of the newest brand producing such boards its Raldey company, they gave me their
new board for test.
They’ve just started their business, but according to them they are trying to make
offroading boards with the best quality in the market.
Even more interesting they are trying to make their boards to be affordable.
But we’ll talk about prices later.
And now lets have a closer look at this beautiful board.
When I said beautiful I really meant it.
It is really nice looking board in every its detail.
It is so pleasure to look at it and even more to own it.
The platform entirely is made of carbon, this feature provides light weight and durability.
By the way, all the electric details are installed so naturally here, so many people even may
think its just a regular skateboard without any electric features.
But lets get closer to the specs.
This board is insanely powerful.
Its equipped with two motors 1500 wats each!
There is a belt drive – quite a serious solution for such board.
The battery installed inside the platform.
There are two variants 7 or 14 AH 36 volts battery.
All the parts and gears are made of aluminum and they look very durable.
The wheels are made of special rubber, their diameter is 195 mm.
Such wheels are quite soft like pneumatic, but they don’t afraid of punctures.
The built quality is perfect, every tiny detail is mounted here very carefully.
Now lets see how it is to handle the board.
There is a remote controller to handle it.
To accelerate just to push the joystick forward, to slow down you are to pull it back.
So useful feature there is a bright display on the controller with a proper info.
It shows current mileage, general mileage, a current speed and the battery status.
Besides there is a special vibration signal to warn you about some important info about
the board.
Moreover there is even the flashlite!
It is so well-considered solution.
Well And now I strain at the leash to start our test.
But before I start riding it is necessary to put on a proper outfit.
No matter if you a pro rider or a newbie like me, you have to wear some defensive equipment
riding on such boards.
Guys first of all I should say I am absolutely not a skater.
Actually its my second board at all that I rode on.
I was training just several hours before we start filming, so I can’t show everything
this board can do, but I’ll my best.
But as soon as you get more skills riding of this board you start really enjoying the
process.
It is absolutely not alike riding some electric scooters or bikes.
When you are skateboarding you should entirely control not only the board, but your body
and that is really exciting.
One of the most important advantages of this board, that it allows you to ride not only
on asphalt but on a rough ground.
Due to the big wheels you can move over some hummocks, rocks and other obstacles.
Another good feature of the board its power.
Belt drive provides an insane torque.
If you push the full throttle while starting from the spot, its even not enough traction
for the wheels, so I think its even more powerful then it is necessary.
By the way it is possible to use rear wheel drive or on the contrary front wheel drive.
I prefer to ride with front wheel drive, it is easier for me.
But usually most people use rear drive.
The board weighs 11 kilos so sometimes it is not simple to carry it in your hands.
But it may ride near you like your pet.
Or you may carry the board in this way and its not a problem to take it with you in public
transport unlike big scooters or bikes.
Another not very important but pleasant feature that you may always sit on the board in any
place.
Sometimes it may be useful.
While I have a short rest I would like to say few words more about the controller.
Undoubtedly its quite comfortable, but If ride with the front drive the odometer doesn’t
work, so it’s a little drawback.
Another downside its not very good position for the power button.
Its not comfortable to touch it in that place.
But now its time to move on, lets go.
Good boy!
The more I rode the board the more I liked it.
It is really allows you to move on a rough ground and that is an insane feature for an
electric board.
The only thing that may be considered as some drawback that the wheels are slightly hard.
I think it may be better to use here pneumatic wheels.
The board has enough torque even to climb quite steep ascents.
On descents a lot of good does the recuperation system charging the battery.
Meantime I felt the vibration of the remote controller.
The battery was empty.
I was riding for about four hours on one charge, so I think it’s a good result taking into
account that I rode on a rough terrain.
But it is interesting to know the exact range of this board, so we decided to make a real
test of this most important characteristic.
So Stay with us we’ll charge the battery and get back in few moments.
Well we are ready, lets start the range test.
By the way I would like to say few words about the maximum speed.
There are three modes, slow middle and fast.
And frankly speaking I managed to accelerate with full throttle only on the second mode.
I reached the speed about 38 kmh.
It could easily go much faster, but I am not so skillful rider to move on a board with
such speed.
According to the official specs on the third mode the maximum speed is almost 50 kmh.
Moreover you should be very careful riding on such boards if you don’t have enough
experience like me.
At that moment I pushed the brake too abruptly, and the board started wobbling and then I
felt.
That is why It is necessary you should wear some defense riding on such boards.
Lets get back to the range.
As I said my board is equipped with the 7 AH battery.
According to the specs the range with this battery is 15 km.
My result was about 14 kms.
Frankly speaking I wanted more, so there is a reason to buy such board with 14 AH battery
and 30 kms range.
And now its high time to speak about the prices.
Raldey it’s a new brand and now they give good prices to promote their production.
My version with 7 AH battery costs 900 dollars, and with 14 AH 1000 dollars.
I put the link to the manufacturer in the description.
To sum up this review I should say I really like this board with perfect design.
Its insanely powerful and qualitative thing.
