so in this video I wanted to share with
you guys a budget electric skateboard
solution that's great for travel and
taking on the airplane as I mentioned
before in a previous video I've been
looking for the perfect electric
skateboard travel solution something
portable with a detachable battery so
that I can take it on the airplane with
me but those of you that don't know many
airline carriers is is walls that you
take on an electric skateboard on a
plane unless you can do one disconnect
the lithium battery from the board and
to the battery doesn't exceed 100 watt
hours or 160 watt hours if you get
permission from the airlines in advance
so in my search I came across me Bo I
contacted them to see if they could send
me the lightest board a campus - along
with a detachable flight compatible
travel battery they agreed to send it to
me and I just got it a few days ago oh
and before I continue I wasn't paid for
this video all right so let's first
review the board specs and then I'll
explain more about the customize travel
solution for the campus - all right so
here's the campus - the board itself is
81 centimeters long and has an awesome
old school field with a directional cut
a fishtail at the back and even a dope
pinstripe styling running along the
bottom smaller and lighter than most
electric boards weighing only five point
five kilograms has one brushless motor
with a top speed of 30 kilometers an
hour thick 83 millimeter orange wheels
installed Center with 153 watt Tesla
battery which is over the standard 100
watt flight restriction limit but that's
why I can get an advertised total range
of 21 kilometers fully charges in two
hours the power button is located on the
side of the battery case with four LEDs
indicating the battery life and on the
other side a charging port all right so
now let's talk about the remote so it
fits nicely in your hand like this press
the thumb controller up to go forward
and back to engage the regenerative
brakes you can easily tap the power
button to cycle through four different
speed modes from beginner to expert just
like this and it has a reverse control
button pretty simple right
all right let's get to the good part
let's talk about the travel battery
option so me plus L a fight compatible
travel battery option on their website
but it's intended for the other boards
not the campus too so it's in different
sized people kindly customize this 99
one hour battery for me so it would fit
the default battery case on the campus
too and as you can see it's just under
one watt hour of flight restrictions
alright so let me show you how to change
out this battery in just a few minutes
remove these six screws on top of the
board holding the battery case once the
battery case is loose flip it over
simply remove the smaller screws around
the case like this take off the lid
you'll see two connectors disconnect
both cables and you're done
replace it with this custom flight
battery what's nice is meepo provided
some extra cushion foam to keep the
smaller battery in place put the lid
back on and reattach the screws that
easy just remember that before you get
on your flight to leave the larger
battery at home and separately carry
this smaller battery onboard with you so
if this battery option is something that
you guys want let me know in the
comments section and meepo said that
they'll produce this battery if enough
people actually ask for it that's pretty
cool for a company to do right alright
so now let's talk about what I love
about the board the motor is super quiet
which is perfect for riding in the city
I want to always avoid scaring people
with annoying motor noises while riding
the board the board automatically powers
on when you push start
also the brushless motors allow you to
push kick it like a regular skateboard
even when the battery dies and the kick
tail also makes it easier to turn in
tight spots sleek the skin from the grip
tape at the top of the board is soft and
foamy perfect for carrying around also I
love that they included some skateboard
tools with the purchase and it even
comes with a wall hanger for the board
alright now let me show you how the
board rides so starting a smooth on the
speed setting mode 3 while max speed
setting mode 4 is a bit more aggressive
as for the regenerative braking the
brakes are a little bit sudden for
beginners but I think with a little bit
of practice you should be able to get
used to it people advertise that the
board can climb inclines up to 10
degrees this incline is about 7 degrees
I didn't have any issues going up with a
bit of speed but when starting uphill I
couldn't generate much speed afterwards
with a single hub motor also I found
better client performance setting it on
max speed mode for as it has more torque
and acceleration even though mode 3 tops
out of the same speed and I also tested
the brakes on this small hill starting
at a low speed applying full brakes on
the controller slowed down the board but
not even close enough to being able to
stop it
so I recommend practicing your foot
stops before bombing down any hills as
the one hub motor brakes won't be
sufficient now
the 83 millimeter wheels are perfect for
flat roads and pretty decent at
absorbing small bumps and cracks on a
normal road so quick practice on a path
like this are definitely writable but
you feel the shop on your feet that
entire ride plus the board itself being
as short as it is it's not as flexible
as you can see from me jumping on the
board so again more of the road noise
will be transferred to your feet so in
conclusion I think this is a great
travel board solution for taking on the
airplane it's not plug-and-play but with
a few screws you're good to go maybe in
the future
they'll have a quick-release battery
feature but all in all it's a great
board for cruising from A to B again
it's not the fastest board or can go to
longest distances but you don't really
need that in the city the kick tail
though is perfect for the city which
allows you to maneuver through tight
spots I also think this board would be
great for beginners because it has
several different speed modes but fun
for regular riders because it also has
advanced modes but one thing to mention
is the board only has one motor so
definitely don't recommend for hilly
areas but if you're planning to cruise
around the city with minor hills and
then this should be no problem oh and
the board is noted as weatherproof but
the electronics don't seem to be sealed
off 100% so I would say maybe a like a
splash or two would be okay but and
definitely stay away from the rain at
least if you want to keep this board for
a long time oh and I forgot to mention
it's easy to wear on a backpack but it
will get heavy over an extended period
of time maybe in the future me poke can
make even a lighter board package
overall it's a super fun board to ride I
loved carving with it and most
importantly I look forward to taking it
on my next flight alright so that
