I think they are fine. I would never use or buy one because they are a bit nutty, but im sure they have their uses with some individuals transportation situations

Super pricey but they look fun. Does have nice hardware though with caliber trucks and Orangatang Kegel 80mm so at least you’re getting good shit for the price. I’d like to ride it and try it out before purchasing.

I have an electric skateboard for commuting it's pretty fun. It's not a boosted I couldn't afford their ridiculous prices and belt drive is not as good of a system.

Theres a pretty big network of biking trails right by my house so I don't have to ride on the street very much.

anyone that thinks there dumb either doesn't longboard or has never used an electric one. Who wants to push there way around on a longboard? No one, they want to cruise. I bought a used boosted board for 500 over a year ago and have put 2000 miles on it with no problems. I save 5$ each day not having to take the bus to work and my commute is actually a good time. Riding a bike sucks after hoping on an electric skateboard, they're the future!

As someone who has tried a boosted board and longboard quite a bit, I would much rather push my way to class and have the ability to freestyle and work up a sweat without babying my board, than ride around on a four wheeled segway.

But that's just my opinion
