SKATEBOLT Electric Skateboard Mini Fashion Gift S5 Motorized Skateboard with Remote Control, 70 mm Hub Motor Powered, 7.9 lb NW, 25.2 V Lithium Battery,250 W HUB Motor

Very slow and not powerful at all it is faster just using it as a normal skateboard! It looks pretty sleek but is more of a kids toy than a method of transportation. Customer service is amazing though, I didn't use it for a year and the battery died:( they paid to ship it back replace the battery and ship it to me and now it works again! So not a serious board for commuting or thril riding but seriously good customer service definitely a toy though!

I'm a beginner and I'm super happy I got this board! Would have given it 5 stars hadn't it been to some minor hiccup.PROS:1. Super stable! I tried riding another small, non-electric board before I switched to this Skatebolt mini. After tightening up the trucks a little bit, this one doesn't wobble anywhere near as much as my old board, and the turn radius is terrific!2. It's SAFE: I live in San Francisco. I fell off my old, non-electric board pretty frequently, especially when I tried to push myself uphill or lost control of my speed going downhill. This one goes up some fairly steep (10-20 degree hill) smoothly, and gives me full control of my speed when going downhill. I've ridden it for ~10 miles today and didn't fall once.3. Perfect for traveling around city streets. I don't think I ever need to go any faster than 12 mph, so while others may complain that this board is slow, for me it's perfect. The big wheels gets me through some beat up roads pretty smoothly. When I'm taking it indoors (buses, shops, etc.) it hooks on my backpack perfectly, and it's so light I can carry it around all day. Bonus: this thing turns heads! I've gotten compliments, questions, some wow's from both kids and adults. It's fun!4. Charges up pretty quickly: Battery goes from being so drained it starts to disconnect from the remote controller to being pretty much full in about 1.5 hour.CONS:1. Very sensitive remote controller: I gotta be extremely prepared when slowing down or braking on this thing, because turning the remote control's wheel even just by a millimeter can instantly drop the speed by half and send me flying forward. Keep an eye out for what's 15-20 ft ahead of you so you can start to slow down waaay beforehand. It also picks up speed ridiculously fast so turn the controller's wheel as slowly as you humanly can when you first get on.2. Confusing charging system and slightly questionable battery life: Whenever I plug the adaptor into the wall, there's a light on the adaptor that turns red, and stays red all the way through until I unplug it, THEN it turns green and stays green for a few minutes before turning itself off (!?) There's no color code or blinking or anything on the battery to indicate whether it's charging, or when it's fully charged. You just turn the board off, plug it in, then once in a while turn the board on to check on it. When you see the battery light has hit all 4 bars, let it sit some more and hope for the best. One time I unplugged it as soon as the 4th bar's light was lit, and the battery dropped down to 3 bars after I rode it for 2 blocks. Whenever I let it charge for 1.5 hour, it can go for roughly 5 miles, though I'm sure this number changes depending on your weight and terrains. (I'm 95 lbs and I go up and down hill somewhat frequently.) Also, when I turn off the board, I gotta turn the switch twice (first off, and then on, and off again) or else it stays on.(Will review again after 6 months to see if battery life holds up.)UPDATE:March 2020: I'm no longer able to use the board. The power switch had loosen to the point where it's unable to remain in any mode. It lasted me 9 months.

This board did not disappoint! It is small, but mighty. The weight capacity is about 110 lbs and I am around 125 lbs, but the board moves with ease. The trucks have a lot of play. I’m no skateboarder, so I don’t know if you can swap the bushings out to make it stiffer because the rear trucks cannot be switched out due to the location of the motor, but I have absolutely no problem with the trucks. Downhill and flat surfaces only require low gear (2 gears: Low-High) while going uphill requires high gear. Be warned, the small surface area requires a lot of balance because the get up on this thing kicks in about 1 second after you give it throttle, and it is powerful enough to put you on your butt if you give it full power all at once; which is why I put smaller penny board wheels on the front and a little wheelie bar on the back. The battery lasted over an hour for me at various speeds, and went at least 3 days before I barely lost 1/4 of the battery. It is not recommended to use the motor in high gear throughout your riding duration as it can cause exstensive wear on the motor and gears. This is a great way to commute around town and get you from point A point B. Even better, you don’t have to worry about gas!

I bought it about a month ago, I have to say it is really good for what it’s priced at and gets me from point a to point b efficiently. Although, the connection or something went wrong, I was quickly able to get a hold with customer service a replace it with a new one. Came to me pretty quick, considering the time we are in and the whole situation w covid. I would give this team 10 stars if I could.

The best thing to get for your kid it is fast fun and it is awesome

This product was very good for my son. He used it for about 2 months now almost everyday and the battery is still perfect! He showed his friend how to use a skate board and he learned so quick. This skateboard is great for children beginners and fun for your children. If you are an adult you could buy is but it is best for kids.

I ordered this for my 12 year old son. He had never ridden a skateboard so I was a little leery but he loves it! He is able to easily ride and maneuver at both speeds. Very happy with this purchase!

It is very portable. I use it in campus, it looks pretty cool
