Evolve Carbon – Best GT Series Electric Skateboard Evolve is one of the best electric skateboard manufacturing brands. The Carbon GT Electric Skateboard is an off-road beast by Evolve. From design and power to aesthetics, this electric skateboard has everything you can ask for in an off-road e-board. I am sure that you would love riding this beauty. This one is the most preferable off-road electric skateboards and hence is on the top of my list. It has a sleek and stylish look and is built from sturdy material to provide robustness for withstanding the harsh conditions faced during off-road riding. The huge wheels are made to traverse on all terrains including grass, gravel, concrete, roads, dirt tracks, beaches, uneven paths and quite literally anywhere! The only thing you may have to consider about this

  4. e-board is its price. It is expensive but the wonderful experience it gives you while on an off-road journey is value for money. The wireless remote control has four modes of speed. Moreover, you can keep tabs on both the battery levels as well as speed via the LCD. Another perk of this e-board is its portability. It is comparatively lighter in weight, weighing under 30 lbs, and hence can be carried anywhere. If you want to attain higher speeds, then worry not! The GT has a top speed of about 22 – 26 miles per hour that is better than most e-boards available. This beast is powered by a brushless motor of a solid 3000W. Although the range depends largely on the usage, you still get a better range than most other e- boards. While on a GT, you can expect it to traverse a whopping 31 miles on the road, and about 18.5 miles on hilly areas and terrain. Likewise, it has an excellent hill grade of 25% which means it can climb up a steep hill of 25 degrees inclination easily.

  5. If performance is your concern, then rest assured. The hybrid wheels run by a 3000W powerful motor combined with the excellent range are enough to give you a wonderful on-road as well as off-road experience. No other e-boards on this list, except the GTX by Evolve, has as powerful a motor as the GT. So, get ready to have an amazing experience and turn some heads with its smooth performance and exquisite looks. Tech Specs Motor Power: 3000 Watts brushless motor Battery: 36V Lithium-ion battery Wheels: 83mm hybrid wheels Range: 31 miles (streets); 18.5 miles (terrain) Max. load capacity: 260 lbs Maximum speed: 22-26 mph Pros Higher load capacity Excellent range Hybrid wheels for a better off-road experience Powerful motor that can take you uphill easily Cons Very expensive A bit on the heavier side Final Thoughts

  6. The Evolve Carbon GT electric skateboard is the best you can get. With superb and trendy looks as well as powerful performance, this electric skateboard can easily be your best bet. The Evolve Carbon GT is bound to give you a unique experience and is definitely worth every penny. So, if you’re a fun-lover who loves to go on adventure rides then don’t hesitate to go for this off-road electric skateboard. 2. Evolve GTX – Best All-Terrain Electric Skateboard The GTX All Terrain Electric Skateboard is yet another powerful and beautiful beast manufactured by Evolve. You know everything there is to know about Evolve. So let’s get directly to the features of GTX. 

  7. The range, battery, motor, as well as the top speed are almost the same in both of these models by Evolve. However, in comparison with GT, the GTX varies not only in looks but also in material. The Carbon GT is made of a carbon-based deck which is a relatively new technology in the world of off-road electric skateboards. Whereas, the Bamboo GTX is, as the name suggests, made out of Bamboo. The deck looks different from the GT but is definitely stylish and cool enough to grab attention. Additionally, the bamboo deck is quite flexible and would definitely absorb those annoying shocks and would give you a smooth ride even on a bumpy road. Speak of a comfortable off-road ride!  Another aspect where the GT and the GTX differ is the price. The GT is more expensive than expensive GTX. Yes, both these beauties are sure to cost you a considerable amount but in the end, they are both worth it. The GTX has a bit less range than GT, although it claims to have the same range. The GT lasts longer than the GTX on streets as well as on terrain. Moreover, since the battery of GTX doesn’t last that long, you may feel it becoming slow sooner than expected. However, the fact that you can save some

  8. bucks with GTX and still have all the features of the more expensive GT, is enough to go for the Evolve Bamboo GTX. Tech specs Motor Power: 3000 Watts brushless motor Top speed: 22-26 mph Max load capacity: 260 lbs Range: 31 miles (roads and streets); 18.5 miles (terrain) Wheels: 83mm hybrid wheels Battery: 36V Lithium-ion battery Pros Truly powerful e-board – 3000W brushless motor Portable  Considerable hill grade – 25% Works well on both streets and terrain Flexible maple and bamboo deck LCD screen Cons Longer charging time Some users state that the range claim is false Quite expensive A bit heavy Final Thoughts

  9. I would recommend both the off-road electric skateboards by Evolve. The GT, as well as the GTX, would take you wherever you want. Both are equally powerful and have similar features save for the looks and material. To make your decision a bit easier to take, I would suggest you go for Evolve GTX if you want to use it for fun and adventure trips, or for exploring the terrain. On the other hand, if you intend to you your e-board as a means of daily commuting and or for very long duration then go for the Evolve GT. 3. MotoTec 1600W – Best Dirt Electric Skateboard Deck: 12 ply maple deck Max. load capacity: 260 lbs Loading time: 3-5 Hours Motor Power: 1600 Watts -Dual motors Range: 10 miles Maximum speed: 18-22 mph Wheels: 10-inch pneumatic tires View on Amazon Prices pulled from the Amazon Product Advertising API on:  MotoTec is synonymous with excellent technology. One of the best electric skateboard brands, the MotoTec manufactures amazing e-boards for all kinds of riders. One of its best products is MotoTec MT-SKT-1600. This beast looks sleek and gives you ultimate performance. If you have the experience to

  10. ride an e-board then you would immediately recognize the difference in this one. If you don’t have any prior e-boarding experience, then I’m confident that the MT-SKT-1600 would give you one wonderful experience! The deck of MotoTec MT-SKT-1600 is a high-quality 12 ply maple deck which is excellent to provide the needed support while you’re riding off-road. By glancing at it, you would know that it is a huge longboard which would grab attention no matter what. The 10-inch wheels also make it the beast that it is. It is an ideal choice for off-road or all-terrain rides. While on this beast, you can have as much fun as you can expect and then some more.  The wheels are assisted by the truck system which makes it a perfect combo for off-road adventure trips. The MT-SKT 1600 is run by two motors of 800W each which make it a powerful 1600 W combo. The 36V lead-acid battery takes about 3 to 5 hours to get fully loaded. You can operate this beast by the remote control which allows you to ride in either regular speed or top speed. One of the best things about this e-board is that you can easily check your battery level with an LED display.  Here’s the best part of the MT-SKT 1600 – it accelerates from zero to a whopping 15 mph in as short as 3.5 seconds. Fun, as well as scary, isn’t it? You can easily reach the highest speeds within seconds quite literally which is a feat in itself. Especially at this price, it is amazing. The range is good. As compared to the GT and GTX by Evolve, I would say the range could have been a bit more. But you can’t complain due to all the other lovely features. This beast can be taken for a ride on grass, beach, mud, road, gravel and pretty much everywhere! I would personally recommend you to ride it on a beach and experience the rush of adrenaline yourself! Tech specs Deck: 12 ply maple deck Loading time: 3-5 Hours Motor Power: 1600 Watts -Dual motors

  11. Range: 10 miles Maximum speed: 18-22 mph Wheels: 10-inch pneumatic tires Weight: 71 lbs Battery: 36V 14Ah Lead-acid battery Max. load capacity: 260 lbs Pros LED battery indicator Powerful performance with dual motors. 10inches huge air-filled tires for a wonderful off-road experience Speed control via a handheld remote control Anti-lock braking system Fitting price Cons Long charging time Lead-acid batteries make it heavy to carry Weighs over 70 lbs Final Thoughts The MotoTec MT-SKT-1600 is an amazing off-road electric skateboard. At a reasonable price, it offers everything you can ask for. If you do not wish to go for an expensive e-board such as the GT and GTX by Evolve, then I would say go for the MT-SKT 1600 without second thoughts. 4. KooWheel – Best 2nd Generation Electric Longboard

  12. Another popular name in the world of e-boards is the KooWheel. The KooWheel electric skateboard is perfect for off-road rides with excellent speed and range. The dual-motor would ensure you get a swift and silent riding experience which is certainly worth witnessing for yourself.  The deck of the KooWheel is made of best-quality Canadian maple wood. The deck is made of seven layers of wood which gives it the flexibility for off-road riding. The dual motors of 350W each ensure that your ride is silent and fast. But this power, 700W, is very low as compared to the Evolve beasts.

  13. Although the motor runs quietly, you would experience a not-so-smooth ride with the KooWheel. However, there are several advantages of this one including the price tag. The 36V Li-ion battery takes about 2-3 hours to get fully loaded which is faster than most other e- boards. The easily replaceable battery is remotely operated. You can easily keep tabs on the battery levels with the wireless remote has lights to indicate battery life. The two riding modes – normal mode and high-speed mode – give you the option to choose anyone according to your requirement and even skill level. One of the best things about the KooWheel is the top speed of 26 mph! No other e-board on this list, except the Evolve beauties, gives you such high speeds. Tech specs Maximum speed: 26 mph

  14. Motor Power: 700 Watts Dual motors Motor: In-Wheel Hub Motor Deck: 7 ply Canadian maple Deck Size: 920*240*130MM Battery: 36V 5.5mAh Lithium-ion battery Load capacity: 286 lbs Wheel Size: 97MM Charging period: 2-3 Hours Range: 15.5 miles Battery Swappable: Yes Hill Grade: 25% Grade Certification: CE RoHS FCC Wheel Cover: Swappable Pros 25% hill grade Considerable range Comparatively faster charging time Dual motors for a wonderful off-road experience Hub motor Cons Gives you a bumpy ride Wheels are not air-filled Not suitable for hilly areas Final Thoughts

  15. The KooWheel would give you a lovely riding experience but on roads, mud tracks, grass, beach and pavements only. If you want your e-board to let you cruise at high speeds for a considerable amount of time, then the KooWheel is an excellent choice. It would not give you a smooth ride on hilly areas and hence must be avoided. It is value for money so don’t think much about it if you’re not going to traverse on hilly areas. 5. Wave – Best Street Electric Skateboard Large wheels, excellent hill grade, powerful motor along with a powerful battery is what defines a Wave Street Electric Skateboard. All these features make it a great choice for traversing hilly areas as well as

  16. terrain. It is lightweight, as in the lightest of all the e-boards on this list. Which makes it an ideal choice if you wish to take it anywhere you go.  The 2000W motor ensures you get a smooth and swift off-road riding experience. With the highest speed of 18.6 mph, this one is really swift and won’t disappoint you if you wish to have some fun. Although on hilly areas you wouldn’t get 18.6 mph speed, it is still faster than most other e-boards in the market. The Wave Street Electric Skateboard has lesser power than the Evolve Electric Skateboards, but it is also low in price as compared to the Evolve beasts.  The battery is the same as most other e-boards – 36V lithium-ion battery. However, the battery loading time is just 3 hours which is really good as compared to a lot of other e-boards which take up as long as 6-7 hours to get fully loaded.  You can expect to ride this beast for 10 miles on a single charge. The range of Wave Street is the same as MotoTec and is one of the least as compared to the rest on this list. So if you intend to take your off-road electric skateboards on longer rides, especially in hilly areas or terrain, then Wave Street might not help you that much. However, an added advantage here is that the Wave Street Electric Skateboard is utterly lightweight, weighing a mere 13.5 lbs, and hence you can easily carry it with you on your way back!  Moreover, the pneumatic tires provide you with extra comfort while riding on hilly areas. Likewise, the huge tires are also able to withstand the harsh conditions of the hilly areas or dirt tracks.  Tech specs Motor Power: 2000 Watts Top speed: 18.6 mph Loading time: 3 Hours Battery: 36V 11Ah Lithium battery Range: 10 miles Wheels: Pneumatic Tires

  17. Weight: 13.5 lbs Dimensions: 17.7 x 9.4 x 46 inches Pros 30% hill grade – the best on this list! Higher load capacity Powerful 2000W motor Huge pneumatic tires Unique wheels and flexible body Quick loading time Cons A bit overpriced Final Thoughts The Wave Street Electric Skateboard is lightweight and portable and hence you can take it anywhere with you. The unique wheels along with the 2000W motor make it suitable for off-road riding. Additionally, if you wish to traverse hilly areas then this is a great option because it has a whopping 30% hill grade which is the best on this list. But, if you want to save some bucks, then I would suggest you go for either KooWheel or MotoTec, as they would give you similar features at a lower price. 6. Backfire Ranger X2 – Best All-Terrain Electric Skateboard

  18. The Backfire Ranger X2 All-terrain Electric Skateboard is a better, more powerful version of Backfire ranger X1. Backfire has been manufacturing high-quality electric skateboards for years now and has carved a name for itself in the world of electric skateboards The deck is responsible for supporting your weight as well as absorbing shock along with helping you to control and manage the electric skateboard. The X2 has a super flexible curved deck that is designed to give your feet some extra support while riding. It is super flexible and hence is great for absorbing shock and fits your feet better. The reduced vibration is a huge advantage when you’re riding on off-road terrain and is sure to give you a smoother ride. Along with unmatched comfort, this deck is a great choice for long-distance bumpy rides. The super flexible deck is supported by 6.5 inches all-terrain wheels which come with replaceable tires. Bigger wheels are good but they are not sufficient to give you a great riding experience on their own. Hence the X2 has airless rubber wheels made of a special honeycomb structure. As opposed to

  19. conventional pneumatic tires, these rubber tires have a better grip and provide more friction along with excellent shock absorbing capability to give you a smooth and manageable ride. The X2 is powered by dual 1200W hub motors that are absolutely water-resistant and dustproof and give you an advantage while riding on sandy terrain. The battery pack along with the ESC module is protected by a covering of sturdy materials. This ensures that nothing happens to your precious little all- terrain beast even when you ride it in bad weather or sandy terrain. It is common to encounter dirt, water, and sand deposits while riding on off-road terrain. The Backfire Ranger X2 has a completely sealed structure which ensures that nothing interferes with your exceptional off-road riding experience.

  20. The X2 is powered by 12S 50.4V electronic system, 12S battery pack. As opposed to a 10S battery pack, it deploys a smart system to reduce heat generation of the battery. The energy thus conserved is deployed to generate more power which gives you a higher range. Tech specs Model: Ranger X2 Board Weight: 23.8 lbs Dimensions: 110*33*16.5cm Range: 16-21.7 miles Top Speed: 21.7 mph Hill Grade: Up to 30% Remote: R2 Wireless Remote with OLED Display Battery: 12S 50.4V 454Wh Tire: Honeycomb structure airless tires Hub Motor: 1200W dual Hub Motors Charging Time: 5h Pros Lightweight Super flexible curved deck Double kingpin truck 6.5 inches all-terrain wheels with changeable tires Dustproof and waterproof motors Hub motors give you an exceptional off-road experience Fully sealed structure to resist sand, dirt, and water Cons

  21. No cons as such Final Thoughts If you want to have a smooth and enjoyable off-road riding experience, without worrying abut the weather conditions or sandy terrain, then the MotoTec MT-SKT-1600 is an excellent choice. You can go for it without having any second thoughts. Related Article – Top 10 Best Mini Electric Skateboards What is an Off-Road Electric Skateboard? This is perhaps the most basic and essential question regarding off-road electric skateboard. An off- road electric skateboard is a personal transporter that may be considered a distant cousin of a hoverboard. I say distant because both these transporters are different in terms of safety features, controllability and even how you can control them. An off-road electric skateboard isn’t a toy either. And you’d be deeply mistaken to take it for a regular skateboard. No, an off-road electric skateboard isn’t any of these things. Then exactly what is an off-road electric skateboard?  Off-road electric skateboards are personal transportation devices that are driven by an electric motor which may be either hub-driven or belt-driven. A Bluetooth handheld device is used to control an off-road electric skateboard. As opposed to a hoverboard, you cannot ride an off-road electric skateboard facing forward or tilting backward. Likewise, speed cannot be limited and you are solely responsible for maintaining balance. A word of caution – it is riskier than the conventional skateboard and requires the rider to use safety gear at all

  22. times. Similarly, due to obvious reasons, it is highly advisable for kids under the age of 13 to refrain from using these unruly beasts! Also known as electric mountain boards, these beasts can take you up to 25 mph without stability, or balancing aids. You are absolutely on your own while riding an off-road electric skateboard. Initially, a speed of 25 mph may not seem to be a reason for concern but think like this – you are on a board that has no safety features and doesn’t have any balancing skills, there is absolutely nothing between you and anything else on the road. To top it all, you can’t apply brakes physically and this beast won’t stop until you give it a command via a Bluetooth device. Sounds scary or fun? No matter what, I would strictly suggest you wear a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads while riding an off-road electric skateboard. What’s the difference between regular and off-road electric skateboard? Electric mountain boards differ from the regular ones in terms of durability as well as power, but the wheels make a major difference. Because a mountain board is used to travel over all kinds of terrain including gravel, dirt, grass, etc. it requires bigger, more durable tires. Some off-road electric skateboards have pneumatic tires as well. Additionally, some electric mountain boards give you the added benefit of interchangeable wheels! Aspects to consider before selecting an off-road electric skateboard As with any other vehicle, there are several factors to be taken into consideration while going for an off- road electric skateboard. Let’s begin with answering basic questions first.

  23. 1. How frequently you would use it on Off Road Terrain? What type of a mountain board do you require is solely depended on your use. Do you intend to use the electric mountain board for off-road terrain daily or quite often? Or you would rarely commute via an off-road terrain? If the answer is often and frequently, then you must go for an off-road electric skateboard that is dedicatedly an all-terrain beast. Otherwise, you can go for the ones with interchangeable modes. 2. Are you planning to use it for recreational purpose? Electric mountain boards are popular in both urban and suburban areas alike, especially with teens. However, even adults use it for recreational purposes. Amongst several reasons for the popularity of off- road electric skateboard, its portability and price play a major role. Likewise, the fact that it can take you to newer places via any routes is also a crucial factor.  3. What unique feature are you particularly interested in? Most of the off-road electric skateboards available in the market have something unique to offer. However, choosing one depends on your needs and purpose. For some range, the distance covered in a single charge matters a lot. For others, top speeds may be more important. And for some, durability plays a vital role in deciding an off-road electric skateboard. Terrain The area and terrain through which you intend to ride the electric mountain board matters more than you think it can. If you are to commute to longer distances then an all-terrain mountain board would be the best choice as opposed to a shortboard. Similarly, longboards are good for plain and open routes with just a few sharp turns.

  24. Regularity Another important aspect to consider before purchasing an off-road electric skateboard is frequency. How often would you use it? Would you use it for the regular or daily commute? Or would you take it out on weekends or vacations? Ask yourself these questions first. If you intend to use it as a daily commuter then you must invest a bit more and go for a durable and high-quality off-road electric skateboard. Additionally, it should be easy to maintain as you would use it daily and hence it would require frequent maintenance. Likewise, ensure that the one you choose must not require frequent repairs as it can be an issue. Contrarily, if you intend to use it over the weekends or during vacations, then go for a durable model that comes under an average price range. Weather What would be the weather conditions that you could ride the off-road electric skateboard? If you intend to use it in the rainy season, then you should probably go for the one that is waterproof. Not all off-road electric skateboards are waterproof even though they claim to be so. You wouldn’t want your all-terrain electric skateboard to stop in the middle of nowhere because of rainwater seeping into your board’s electronic components. If such is the case, then go for a board with larger wheels so that you get an additional advantage over wet roads and routes. Skill-level If you don’t have any prior experience of riding an all-terrain electric skateboard then go for a cheaper model with an intention to learn on it. Contrarily, if you are an experienced and skilled rider, then you can

  25. go for the priciest model depending on your budget. Battery and range As mentioned earlier, the range of an off-road electric skateboard or any personal transporter for that matter is the distance it can cover on a single battery charge. If you wish to take your off-road electric skateboard to hilly areas or inclined terrain, then more power is required and as a result, more battery is consumed. Consequently, the range of your board is automatically reduced. Hence, if you intend to traverse to hilly or inclined terrain then go for an off-road electric skateboard with a range of over 18-20 miles. This way you can ensure that you reach your destination and back without running out of battery!  If you wish to take your off-road electric skateboard through open spaces and plain terrain then anything with 15 miles range would be sufficient to serve the purpose. Wheels Wheels are, for obvious reasons, a very important part of your off-road electric skateboard. Selecting a board with the right wheels is crucial as your riding experience and you yourself would be dependent on the wheels. For all-terrain rides, air-filled wheels are a great option. Additionally, the larger the wheels the better, go for something around 10 inches if you’re going to traverse hilly areas. Before buying an off-road electric skateboard, ensure thoroughly that it is compatible with literally all kinds of terrain and can handle the obstacles easily. Remember, your life is dependent on those wheels. Go for wheels that provide the best grip if you’re intending to take dirt routes.

  26. Power/Motor If you would traverse on hilly areas or dirt roads then obviously you would need a powerful motor to give you the ultimate off-road experience. But a powerful motor comes with a price tag attached, so you must be ready to invest a certain amount. If you have no use of a high power motor, then there would be no need to invest the extra bucks. One more thing to notice here is that no matter which motor you go for, it should give you a smooth ride, otherwise your wheels would take several spins before actually starting on. Remember, that it is only while climbing the hilly terrain does a mountain board requires an immensely- powered motor. Otherwise, a normally-powered off-road electric skateboard can effortlessly traverse off-road terrain. Choose according to your use. That was all about power. Now moving forward with motor – most common motors used in off-road electric skateboards are belt-driven motors that can be easily maintained and replaced. They are a bit pricey but worth the money, especially if you are a beginner. These motors are supported by a gear system and hence are able to maintain particular speeds, so you don’t have to use remote control all the time. Weight The weight of the skateboard matters. More so when you intend to take it with you on trips or the like. Likewise, it should be easily portable. There are several lightweight options available in the market. Load capacity As with electric unicycles and hoverboards, the off-road electric skateboards also have a certain load capacity that differs from brand to brand and model to model. It is always a good idea to go for a board that is able to support more load than your own weight.

  27. You may or may not stay the same size forever. Even if you do, then you may be required to carry a heavy load at a certain point of time. Hence, if you intend to use the off-road electric skateboard for a long time or if you’re buying it for your kid who is still in his early teens, then go for the one with a load capacity margin. Another important thing to consider is that the load plays a crucial role in determining the performance as maximum climb angle, range along with top speed are affected by load. Straps Straps are a must when you intend to go for swift off-road rides. While riding fast if you come across a dip or bump on the road, you could get thrown off the board. This is when straps come into the picture, they help you to stay on the deck and hold on to it. At speeds of 20 mph, it is no fun to fall off your board. If you do not intend to go for fast riding, then you can go with a strapless board. You can either go for a stiff deck or a flexible one depending on your choice and preference. You may prefer bouncier and flexible decks and may love riding on decks able to absorb shocks. While others may prefer sturdier and stiffer decks to have more control over their off-road electric skateboards. For off-road and swift rides I would recommend a stiff deck board as it would not let you bunce off on bumpy roads. Even though it may not absorb a lot of vibration it is still a great choice for off-road riding. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I go for an off-road electric skateboard being the first-time rider? If you’re talking about an off-road electric skateboard, then prior skateboarding experience is highly recommended. Maintaining the balance on the e-skateboard is utterly important as unlike a hoverboard, an e-board cannot stabilize itself. So I would recommend that you first learn and enjoy riding a regular skateboard and only then go for an e-board. Moreover, e-boards cost you quite a bit and hence you

  28. wouldn’t want to destroy one just because of inexperience. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be a good idea to try out skating for the first time on an expensive e-board only to find that skating is not your cup of tea! 2. What is regenerative braking? The braking system by which the kinetic energy of an Off-road electric skateboard is transformed into electricity which is in turn deployed to charge the board’s battery is known as regenerative braking. The kinetic energy, in most cases, is wasted as heat and consequently is lost. But the regenerative braking system aids in increasing the range of your e-board by tapping into the potential of this kinetic energy! Theoretically, this kind of braking system is amazing but it has some setbacks in actuality. For one, your battery may get destroyed. Regenerative braking keeps converting kinetic energy into electricity and feeds it to the battery. In cases when your battery is already full, it would still feed the battery electricity and chances are that your battery may be destroyed due to overcharging. Although some manufacturers provide an alternative to this problem by cutting out the current supply to the battery, it is advisable to know the pros and cons of regenerative braking thoroughly along with learning alternate ways to apply brakes. 3. Can I ride my off-road electric skateboard in bad weather? If your e-board is waterproof, then yes. If not, then no. Also, there is a difference between being water- resistant and being waterproof. If it is drizzling then you may ride a water-resistant-board, but drenching it in rain or a pothole is certainly not a good idea. 4. Do I need to regularly maintain the off-road electric skateboard? The obvious answer is yes. As with any other skateboard, or a personal transporter or that matter, you need to maintain the off-road electric skateboard regularly. It not only helps in increasing the life of your e-board but also is a good way to ensure maximum safety while riding. 5. Are there any waterproof off-road electric skateboards?

Hence, it’s crucial to go for an e-board with a certain weight margin. 7. Which is the best deck size for me? The usage of your off-road electric skateboard, as well as your skill level along with various other factors, decide the best deck size for you. Boards with swift fast cruising speed may not be suitable for regular commuting and need to be truly stable. That’s the reason most e-boards intended for swift rides have a battery with higher capacity and have 2 to 4 drive system. Consequently, this design leads to longer e-board or longboard. Contrastingly, for daily commuting an ideal e-board would be lightweight, compact and ergonomically designed, which leads to a compact deck size. 8. Which is the best deck size for me?

Some electric mountain boards take about an hour to get charged, where some may require as much as 6 hours to get fully loaded. Moreover, factors such as the charging system and the battery also play an important role in deciding the charging time. Intending to prolong the battery life, some manufacturers deliberately configure their boards to charge at a slower rate. This also has the added advantage of keeping the battery cool while it is being loaded. Otherwise, due to overheating, your battery and its life may get affected. Contrastingly, some manufacturers configure their boards to charge at a faster rate to make it convenient for the user. This is convenient for most users but it also affects and reduces the battery life. 11. Can I control an off-road electric skateboard via a smartphone app?
