Rating of the best electric skateboards for 2022

First there were carts, then carriages and the first cars. Today, along with fashionable cars, brutal bikes, for mobility and a sense of freedom, many prefer skateboards and electric skateboards. Good speed, maneuverability, minimum care and maximum driving pleasure are the hallmark of such devices. The electric drive, that is, the motor, freed the riders from the need for a muscular push with the foot. It is enough to maintain balance and slightly correct the bending of the legs at the knees in order to successfully conquer distances. For lovers of an active lifestyle, the fact that the vehicle is easily carried in the hands is significant.

How to choose the right electric skateboard

The market offers several categories of devices with a significant difference in cost. It is important to determine in advance the engine power, the required duration of trips without recharging, the maximum allowable speed and load. And also there are some nice additions in the form of lighting, mobile applications, lighting effects.

Mass limitation

There are several load classes:

1. light, with a maximum weight of 65 kg, belongs to the category of children, however, it is also suitable for slender adult riders;
2. medium, weighing up to 100 kg;
3. heavy, with a free wheeling with a load of 135 kg.

Speed ​​limit

Youth and children's categories can claim a speed of no more than 15-20 km / h. Further, the speed increases in proportion to the battery power, and the choice depends on the claims of the owner.

Mileage per charge

The charge of the accumulator provides this or that duration of run. If we take the average, then it will fluctuate around the 20 km mark.

Battery

The main indicator of the battery is the capacity, which is determined in units of "Amp-hour".

A difficult decision is due to the fact that, on the one hand, the higher the capacity, the greater the power reserve.On the other hand, a high capacity requires a long charge. Within 2 hours, you can charge the battery at 4-4.5 Ah, with an increase in capacity to 8 Ah, charging will last up to 4 hours.

Tilt angle

Each characteristic of the electric skateboard has this parameter. The possibility of overcoming the ascents depends on it, and, accordingly, the descent from the hill saves resources, prolongs the run.

Clearance

For smooth asphalt pavements of city sidewalks and alleys, that is, for amateur skateboards, clearance does not play a special role.

The ground clearance for an off-road and sports skateboard has a different meaning. Moving through difficult terrain requires both a margin of clearance and the quality of wheels.

wheels

Difficult terrain imposes a requirement on the size of the wheel. The larger the wheels, the easier it will be for the rider to cope with impassable terrain. However, the large radius of the wheel "eats" maneuverability. Small wheels on a flat surface allow you to develop good speed and perform serious maneuvers.

deck weight

It is easy to determine this parameter, knowing the nature of your movements. Individual models reach a weight of 35 kg. Children can easily cope with a skateboard weighing 8 kg.

All of the above parameters affect the cost of the device. The better the feature, the higher the price.

Top Producers

• Reliable and affordable devices from "Razor" - an American manufacturer has steadily established itself in the global market.
• Airwheel has 30 million customers in 68 countries.
• "Action" is the leader in sales. The gadget's control system compatible with a smartphone allows not only setting the basic data on the parameters, but also monitoring the status of individual working parts of the device.
• "Hoverbot" is distinguished by reliability, quality. More often than others, there are positive reviews about batteries.

Electric skateboard on two wheels

The number of wheels is not the only difference between gadgets, there are differences in functionality.

• T-Board

The sibling of the snowboard, the T-board is highly sensitive to rider movement and lean, allowing for a wide range of maneuvers, turns and tricks.

• Dirtsurf

The device is used only as a projectile for descending into the mountains, it has little in common with a skateboard.

• Ripstik

Only according to the classification is a skate and is a tandem of a double platform - one for each leg. Each platform stands on a wheel, with a full circle turning angle of 360°. The gadget only moves forward and is not suitable for tricks. It bears the second name flexboard.

What is the difference between an electric skateboard and an electric scooter

The peak of the revival of scooters came in 2008.

On the territory of China, a large number of factories for the production of two-wheeled gadgets were created. The scooter has a wide range of carrying capacity: from 10 to 140 kg. The brake rear wing stops the movement in a few seconds. For a scooter with large wheels, it will not be a problem to move on sand and grass, while an electric skateboard is adapted only for flat hard surfaces. The tricks and maneuvers performed by both gadgets are not inferior to each other, while the scooter is more stable due to the additional vertical point of support - the steering wheel. The steering wheel also plays an important role when avoiding obstacles; for a skateboarder, this procedure requires a certain amount of experience.

Some models of scooters are equipped with seats, which makes them especially comfortable.The compactness of devices suffers from the installation of motors and brakes, and the range of electric scooters is also small. The powerful motor of the scooter allows you to reach speeds of more than 50 km / h. More information about the best electric scooters - here

The main cost of an electric scooter is its battery, so in case of failure, you should not count on modest costs. Another issue is the cameras. With a sharp increase in load - for example, a bump, the likelihood of damage to the camera is high. Spare parts for devices on the Russian market are extremely poorly represented. Where can I find a replacement...

The mid-range electric skateboard compares favorably with the price. It captivates with its low weight and moderate dimensions. In the city, it is more convenient for transportation on the subway.

Electric Skate with Ali Express

The site offers not only popular models of gadgets at affordable prices. Mass of spare parts for devices with remote control, motors, motor mount, rem. kits, drives. Video apps allow you to do DIY repairs, and especially talented users can take the risk of building an electric skateboard themselves.

Errors when choosing

Do not overestimate your strength and acquire powerful models without having sufficient experience in controlling an electric skateboard. Of course, skills are acquired with diligence and over time, but, unfortunately, the level of injuries when moving on skateboards is high.

For everyday use, budget options of good quality are suitable.

Do not neglect the quality of the deck coating, which guarantees that the foot does not slip on the surface.

If you need to transport your skateboard frequently during the day, you should opt for a lightweight model.

Skateboards of the future are next in line: a hoverboard from the Lexus developer. The device is based on the principles of magnetic levitation with tanks - cryostats, a temperature of minus 197 ° and magnets under the track. The tests are not over, but the closed show took place. The hoverboard really flies under the control of the "pilot".

Forward to the future!
