    I’ve had my Stealth for right about a year now and I’ve loved every second of it! As a college student at Purdue, it’s perfect for commuting to campus and riding from class to class. Plus, group rides with the local E-Sk8 community are also always a blast

  • @micahbragg7993

    I live on the Upper East Side and use the X for transport everywhere including daily commute. I realize Sam has gotten comfortable on the longboards but I would never give up the fun of the mini's ride and tic-tac ability, its MUCH more portable size (I have a board bag that it fits well within), and of course its far more stylish look (that's important too)! Its the board to be most proud of owning. Yeah, it's not as good at potholes but you really can take them on with a little bit of confidence and skill. I had no skateboarding experience before moving to nyc, buying a $20 skateboard to practice, and then buying the X. The smaller skateboard is by far the more interesting and exciting product.

      erikincph Exway are killing it, especially having the waterproofing rating that they do. If I wasn’t all about Evolve (I know, another premium priced board - convenient to own when you live within an hour of the Australian HQ and don’t have the additional taxes living in any other country), I’d definitely choose Exway as my every day board.

    There are some many different electric skates in 2020 and statements that Boosted is the best in reliability and quality must be backed up by trying at least 5-10 top models from different brands - I don't see it in this video ...

    • @ajplant96
      @ajplant96 Před 4 lety

      ChocolateNuggy He’s tried Evolve boards in the past, I think these days like Casey Neistat most of these NY vloggers have stakes in Boosted though. So direct undercutting brands are probably a huge no despite them being miles ahead (literally, bc they have more range, lmao).

  • @MarkIrwin02

    So i am interested in getting 1 for like going to the mall close by, 1 of the near by restaurants, or the movie theater vs taking my car or motorbike after buy 1. 1 way is about 1-2 miles. So avg 4 round trip but thats only going 1 place. Not going to multiple. I am not found of spending upwards of 2k for 1. So would would boosted be good choice or a better option for my use and then also guessing if boosted be the mini x be the right one for my use purpose of getting 1.

    So I legit ordered a boosted mini S after watching this video. They had a 20% off for refurbished boards so I got one for $600. Well I thought I was going to get one. The $600, well $599 was taken out of my account. I received a confirmation email. That was the last communication I’ve had with Boosted.
    Do you have any contacts in the company other than what’s to be found on their website. I’ve exhausted all resources and I’m starting to think I’m never going to get my board or even my money back.

Someone was selling one for 700 bucks. I'm gonna be using the board mainly for cummuting to college, joyrides and shopping. What do you reckon. Sell mini x and get the used stealth or just stick with the mini x. Thanks in advance

    I have one question. What about if you live in a city that isn't always flat level ground? For example, it's 3.4 miles to my job one way, and there is a 300ft difference as well. Can one of those boosted boards handle riding uphill for a while?

      yea but you'll drain the battery much quicker riding uphill - can def handle it though :) might wanna bring the charger with you

      @@samsheffer thanks. That's what I'd do anyway. I'll let it charge up again at work. I drive as well but I want to find a way of using it less during the week. I'm not asking exclusively for Boosted boards here. But are any weatherproof? Like if you were to use it when there's light rain?

    Hey dose the boosted plus bring an extended range battery or do you have to buy it separately
