Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard (Product Review for Amazon)

Unbelievable Freedom 

The Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard is quite possibly one of the most incredible inventions on the planet.   It combines the traditional practice of skateboarding with the technology of guided motion and motorized propulsion.   Riding this board truly is an utterly unique experience.    This skateboard is the real deal.  The quality of the board is unquestionable and definitely not some cheap knockoff or replica.   Here are a couple of things I learned about this board after trying it out for a week. 

Need for Speed

When I say fast, I mean fast.   This skateboard accelerates like nobody’s business.   The electric skateboard starts out at a base speed of about 10 miles per hour.  This was a perfectly delightful speed for a casual cruise.   When fully engaged, I was able to get the Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard up to about 22 miles per hour.  Let me tell you this seems like a great deal faster when you are riding hands-free with the wind whipping against your body.  Considering the average speed in a neighborhood is around 25 miles per hour, you could be sailing through town with traffic, and keep up quite nicely.   

The Engine

Constructed with two 1000 watt motors, the Electric Skateboard is designed with adjustable power and torque.   It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a pro, you can adjust it to match your ability level.  Unlike most electric skateboards, the engine engages BOTH back wheels to provide an evenly distributed forward motion when starting the board from a stand-still.  The most amazing thing about the engine is that it actually allows for uphill climbing.   I was able to ride this board up a moderate hill with no noticeable changes in speed or engine torque. 

Skateboard goes up to 22 mph!!!

Bring my Board to Life!

Similar to the design of a hybrid car, braking energy is looped back into battery charging to help prolong the up time of the battery.  The lithium battery holds approximately 7 miles worth of charge depending on what speed you are going.  If you are going the initial speed of 8-10 miles per you will get a longer life from the battery charge than if you were to push the full range of speed.  At 22 miles per hour I was able to push about four and a half miles with a battery charge.  This is just under 20 minutes of ride time.  If you are planning to use this board for more than recreation such as a ride this to work or school, make sure that your commute is within 4 miles to ensure that you don’t run out of battery.   If you do happen run out of juice don’t worry, the battery will fully charge in only 60 minutes.  This is a perfect option if you work, or attend school close to your home.

The Deck is AMAZING.

While most traditional skateboard decks are made of maple wood, and occasionally composites like nylon, fiberglass, or other artificial materials, the Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard is made from Bamboo.  Bamboo is an extremely light weight and incredibly strong material that rivals steel in tensile strength.  It is also more flexible and durable than other hardwoods and is a much better choice than maple wood or other synthetic materials.   When I stood on the deck of this skateboard, it was comfortable and flexible - like walking on the low-impact flooring of a basketball court.
Tensile strength refers to the amount of tension that a material can take before breaking.   Since Bamboo has a greater tensile strength than that of steel, this product can take a great amount of pressure.  So when you are grabbing your board and dropping the bomb, or catching some air in a sick Ollie, you know that the pressure and weight of your body as your board collides with the asphalt will neither break nor warp the deck.  

Caution and Care

Skateboarding is a free-range high-impact sport and taking precautions to avoid injury is par for the course.   The impact between your body and pavement can cause sore muscles, discomfort or tearing of your tissues, and the wearing down of joints due to constant brute force collision between your board and the concrete.  The deck of the Boosted Dual+ 2000W Electric Skateboard offers the same elasticity as an indoor sports arena that will reduce the impact on your body when the board meets the pavement.  If you are going to do tricks on this board, be sure to review the recommendations by the manufacturer so that you don’t void your warranty.
