Boosted Boards second generation electric longboard is looking like a sweet addition to anyone’s arsenal of summer toys if you can afford the $1,000 price tag. There are two standout improvements from the first gen which make this model appealing:
-It is water-resistant so you don’t have to worry about frying your board if starts to rain or you roll through a puddle.
-The battery packs are user replaceable, meaning you can ride the 12-14 miles (range on the larger of the two battery options) and then swap out to a reserve battery to go another 12-14.
“With smooth braking, powerful electric motors, and simple wireless control, the Boosted board is an amazing riding experience. The 2nd generation delivers key upgrades – an extended range battery pack, water-resistant electronics, and advanced connectivity – and still has everything you love, including the Loaded bamboo deck, a high-torque drivetrain, and industry-leading customer support.”
