This premium looking skateboard deck is made of maple woods which has added elasticity and toughness. Besides that, it comes with the dual brushless hub-motors which are well-known for making the rides quiet with decent speed & range. A 36V Lithium-ion switchable battery has been used to gear up the motors.

Though the manufacturer claims that the board is 25% hill gradient, but in practice, it is roughly 20% hill gradient. But the hub-motors give a decent backup in this regard.

The PU wheels of this e-skateboard are the decision making factors. The PU wheels used here are less noisy, and they have given the board a better loading capacity up to 286lbs.

You get an elegant and ergonomic wireless remote with the dedicated ‘reverse’ button. So, speed controlling is much more convenient.

Why We Recommend:

Despite a few drawbacks, we have found so many positive sides in Backfire G2T which are really appreciating. Especially we can mention the OLED display and water resistance.

Teamgee H5 37” E-Skateboard

The most significant feature of TEAMGEE H5 is its thinness. Being 0.59 inches thick, it is the thinnest electric skateboard under 650$ in the market. And we know many of you prefer thin and slim looking skateboards.

Teamgee has focused not only on the thinness but also on the building material and design. With the ideal length size, you will get a drop-through deck made of Canadian Maplewood and fiberglass. Drop through deck means it has a lower center of gravity. And you already know what that means.

Even though the electric skateboard is lightweight, it has failed in max loading capacity, which is below average. Indeed, it is a big issue for users.

But the good thing is, the speed and max range you get from TEAMGEE H5 is very much decent and convenient. Plus, the incline rate is 20%. Two 380 watt hub-motors hold the back in this regard.

Lastly, the board is lightweight, portable and can carry weight up to 250lbs.

Why We Recommend:

Our verdict is the Huracane 38” electric skateboard is cost-effective. We recommend this one for those who are beginners.

Aceshin Battery Powered E-Skateboard

In terms of weight, this Aceshin electric skateboard is lightweight, and that makes it super portable and maneuverable. For building the deck Northeast Maple and bamboo have been used.  There is no doubt regarding the durability and stability. But we have found the length of deck shorter than others.

In terms of power, it features a single 250-watt hub-motor while other skateboards are providing dual motors. It is surely a drawback, but you will see a satisfactory performance like other skateboards in this budget. And the proof is the hill grade percentage.

The battery used in this board is powerful enough to support the single hub-motor. And it does not take much time to be charged.

Another negative side we have found is the weight loading capacity. It is less than the ideal capacity.

Being fully geared with the skateboard kits, you can ride within the city with its 2 riding modes. It supports regenerative braking, and there is a dedicated reverse button in the 2.4G wireless remote for going backwards

We didn’t find any IP rating, but the manufacturer strongly claimed that it is splash resistant.

The one feature that you will like is the ‘cruise control’. That refers that you will be able to set your preferable speed and it will maintain that speed unless you change it.

We heard some mixed reviews regarding customer support. For that, we will give this e-skateboard a demerit point.

Why We Recommend:

Other than the cons, it seems that the Swagboard NG1 offers a precise package following the budget. And when there is performance, the cons fade away.

RazorX Battery Powered Skateboard

RazorX is the cheapest electric skateboard in our top 15 picks. It is cheap but not in quality. It has all the specs and features included what an ideal and affordable skateboard has. As usual, there are some drawbacks also, but comparing with the advanced skateboards features will be a foolish thing.

Let’s have a look on the positive sides. This RazorX product has been made for the kids as they don’t need to ride for long-range. It is as lightweight as portable. But if we compare it with the Swagboard NG1, it has better weight loading capacity.

The deck of RazorX is short, but the material used here has made it supremely flex. The deck is built by 5 ply Maple. Plus, the wheels are high-grip performance-oriented urethane wheels attached to the kingpin custom trucks. So, whether you ride on the streets or not, the wheels will absorb shock.

Why We Recommend:

Beside us, Amazon also has liked the cheap priced electric skateboard. It can be a better starting skateboard for your kid this Christmas.

How We Picked the Top E-Skateboards

It was not an easy journey at all. We have spent immeasurable time on researching the products and their market value. In this process, we have taken into consideration 27 products and come up with the best 15 products finally.

We believe that the best quality depends not only on the specs and features but also on the brand value, customer service, warranty policy, etc.

We have ensured these things have been checked thoroughly. Our team has personally tested all the chosen devices to find out the actual performance and flaws. And we are optimistic that you will end up choosing one from our top picks.

Go through our next section must for having a decent buying idea.

A Comprehensive Buyer’s Guide: What to Look for

Before purchasing a qualitative electric skateboard, you need to prioritize the things that you want from your skateboard. Usually, customers think about speed and range. But there are some other vital factors to notice. These factors will boost to increase your winning chances as they are co-related with each other.

Make sure you have gone through all the points given below:

Deck Size:

As a buyer, your first task is to choose the right deck-size for you. Size of a deck matters as both feet need to fit correctly on the deck. If you want to have comfortable rides, then the size must be convenient as well as accurate in terms of length, width, and thickness.

And only you can determine the perfect size. We can merely give you an idea.

Deck dimension is directly connected with your height. For example, taller persons need big decks than short persons. On the other side, kids face difficulty riding on big decks.

In our view, the decks which are between 30”-38” are serviceable for most of you.

Weight:

The next thing to keep in mind is the weight of the electric skateboard. There are many advantages to having a lightweight board. On the other hand, if you buy a bulky and heavier one, you will face problems regarding carrying it. Especially if you use the skateboard as personal transportation on a regular basis, then the board must be weight convenient.

Motors, batteries, trucks, wheels, and other components altogether determine the weight. High-end skateboards have much weight as they feature mighty motors and batteries.

So, you have to notice the board’s weight before you add it to the cart. It’s better if you choose an electric skateboard that weighs 13-16lbs.

Lastly, you should also check the maximum weight loading capacity as the standard range is up to 260lbs.

Portability:

Portability is connected with the deck’s size and weight. For frequent travelers and commuters, less portability is a big issue.

If portability is your priority, then you should go for the lightweight and small boards. As a result, carrying will be effortless and convenient. Most of the companies are trying to make their skateboards as light as they can.

Even you can carry some lightweight electric skateboards on your back also.

Material:

When it comes to the material, we should talk about the skateboards deck first. Throughout the article, you have already learned that there are differences in deck material. The manufacturers use multiple layers of Canadian Maples, Northeast Maple wood, bamboo, fiberglass, aluminum, etc. to build the decks.

Each of them has separate and particular traits to enrich the deck. For instance, a bamboo made deck is sturdy. On the other part, fiberglass makes the deck more resilient. Maple wood is used for making the deck weather resistant.

Meanwhile, the motor house and battery get protection from steel. So, it should be in your checklist also.

Lastly, the materials play a vital role in terms of electric skateboard durability.

Wheels:

Wheels are one of the most fundamental parts of an electric skateboard. Because of poor quality wheels, you can have bad riding experience. Here we will talk about wheel material and size.

The wheels used in the skateboards are made of high-density rubbers. These rubbers give enough bounce and make the wheels more versatile. But there are differences in materials. Most of the e-skateboards use Polyurethane wheels, while only a few come with pneumatic wheels. Polyurethane wheels are good at absorbing shock. Moreover, they produce less noise and enough bounce.

Wheel size also makes an impact on performance. You need to understand the proper diameter in this regard. Most of the products we mentioned above come with 83 mm/96 mm/ 97 mm wheels.

Motor:

The motor is the source of power and energy of an electric skateboard. Here you will see differences in motor numbers. Now is the time of dual-motors. Almost all the products we mentioned above feature dual motor. The usage of motors makes the boards more workable.

There comes a comparison of belt-drive motors and hubs. In high-end devices, belt-drive motors are used. Meanwhile, mid-range products use hub-motors. In terms of power, belt-drive is better than hub-motor as it produces more torque and comes with multiple wheel options. But they make the board heavy and produce loudness.

On the other hand, hub-motors are quieter and produce less torque. But today’s motors are improvised to give top speed. And they are also lighter than belt-driven motors. So, make your choice.

Battery:

One single line can describe the importance of battery cells. Without a high-quality battery, your e-skateboard is not more than a normal skateboard. Here we will discuss a few things that you need to keep in your checklist.

There are 2 types of batteries seen in the electric skateboards: Li-Po and Li-ion. Most of the e-skateboards use Li-ion batteries now. Li-ion batteries are safer and have larger cycles than the Li-Po.

The next important thing is ‘voltage.’ Voltage helps the motors in producing torque. If you buy one with less voltage, then there will be less torque produced. And it will affect the speed and performance.

For a good quality skateboard, the standard voltage is 36V.  You have already seen that most of the mentioned products come with a 36V Lithium-ion batteries.

Lastly, the battery power output shall match with the motor output.

Speed & Range:

While buying a skateboard, the first question naturally comes into mind that how much and how fast it can go. So, we can say speed & range are the most desirable features of an electric skateboard.

Well, the fastness and range of a skateboard depend mostly on motor power. Powerful motors, containing higher watts, can run fast and give an outstanding range. The other factors which boost up the speed & range are the battery power output, battery Ampere, Ampere Hour (Ah), wheel size, weight, ESC, gear ratio, etc.

There is one more thing you need to keep in mind. Even if the motors are powerful and other things are okay, you may not get the same faster speed & range all the time. That may happen due to battery charge. Besides that, top speed & range get affected due to your weight and the maximum weight capacity also.

If you buy one which provides up to 17-24 mph top speed and goes for 12-15 miles, then you are good to go, though it varies with the budget.

Riding Mode:

Riding mode is an important feature to consider while looking for a top-performing electric longboard skateboard. Riding tones assists you in riding in several speed settings.

Usually, there are 2 basic modes: beginner and advanced. But nowadays almost all the skateboards feature 3 or 4 modes for riding. Even some high-end devices have 5 riding modes. As riding tones refer to speed settings, it will be a massive advantage for you, if you choose an e-skateboard which comes with more than 3 modes in riding.

And the highest riding styles will give you the mentioned top speed by the manufacturer. So, if you are commuting through the city, it is easy for you to lower the speed to avoid accidents.

Remote:

In the previous section, we talked about riding-modes. A good quality remote can control those modes. Also, you have to brake using the remote provided in the box.

The design, material, button, Bluetooth, etc. determine the remote’s quality. Most of the skateboard remotes of these days have an ergonomic design. You should look for if there is any grip to hold the remote firmly.

Through the signal indicator, you will get updates about the remaining charge, current speed, and other statistics. For that, the remote should be very responsive in terms of connectivity. If there is any connectivity issue, then riding will not be safe. So, go to the manufacturer site or read customer experiences to learn about this.

Many of the remotes lack the LCD screen feature. In our view, it is a useful feature which every manufacturer should take seriously.

Braking System:

You shouldn’t ignore the braking system of an electric system. If the braking system is not up to the mark, then it is impossible to have a safe ride. And you can’t have a complete idea about braking by checking it online. Braking ability can be measured by hopping on the board.

You shall ensure that the board you chose has the regenerative braking system. It means that when you press the brake button, the kinetic energy used is stored back to the battery for further use when it is needed. In other words, the battery gets charged when you decelerate. As a result, it increases your range even if the battery does not have enough charge.

Hill Grade:

Hill grade means the hill-climbing ability of an e-skateboard which is also known as the incline ratio. It is denoted by percentage. In our mentioned products, you will see differences in climbing ability. Some skateboards are 10-15%, while some other boards feature a 20-25% incline-rate.

The percentage told by the manufacturers may differ due to your weight and charge of the battery. And actually it happens in practice. But you will get a near performance to that percentage.

Before finalizing, you need to make sure two things.

At first, select an electric skateboard that comes with dual-motors having higher watts. Dual motors are more efficient in hill climbing than single motors. But you shouldn’t expect to ride up to big hills.

Secondly, check whether it supports hill climbing or not, or even if supports, then what the incline percentage is.

Water-Repellent:

Water-resistance is such a feature that enlarges your electric skateboard component’s durability. But the fact is no skateboard comes with 100 percent resistance. Instead, they offer slight protection from water splash, and it varies from board to board.

Ingress Protection Code (IPC) refers to protection from various particles by denoting a number. If the skateboard is weather or water-resistant, then the manufacturer mentions it in the description.

So, do have a check on whether the electric skateboard you selected has an IP rating or not.

But the truth is, they are not fully resistant as they provide slight protection for a while. That means your board has merely protection from being damaged internally. But we strongly recommend you not to ride in the heavy falls so as the manufacturers.

Air Travel Friendly:

If you are a frequent traveler and love to have skateboard rides during vacation, then this is a must-have trait for your skateboard. Moreover, you are not allowed to carry all the things on the plane. There are specific rules and regulations for that.

All the electric skateboards are not air-travel support. Only a few of them are air-travel friendly. The reason behind this is the battery size.

Electric skateboards use Lithium-ion batteries mostly. these batteries are dangerous to carry on a plane. Besides, you will notice something like ‘Watt-hour’ in the product descriptions. It determines the battery size. The travel authorities permit to carry batteries not more than 99Wh in hand luggage.

So, make sure your chosen product has that benefit.

Warranty Policy:

Lastly, we will talk about the warranty policies of the skateboards. The period of the warranty shall not be limited, as it is an electronic device.

That’s where the brand value comes. Popular brands provide larger warranty time, and they have good warranty policies. On the other side, the non-branded companies are more into luring the customers by their words rather than their customer service.

In our opinion, an electric skateboard shall have at least 1 year or maximum 2 years warranty.

Few Superfluous Tips for You:

1) If you are not an expert, then don’t get excited on the first day. Riding an electric skateboard is not that easy, especially if you haven’t used any before. If you don’t keep patience, either you will find yourself in the hospital bed, or you will give damage to the skateboard. So, you need to learn all the necessary rules and techniques first about how to ride an electric skateboard.

2) Whether you are a beginner or an expert, there are always a few safety concerns. You need to wear protective gear before hopping on the board to avoid unwanted incidents. Don’t forget the remote and make sure there is enough charge before getting out.

3) Like other electronic devices, electric skateboards require regular maintenance sessions. So, don’t neglect this point. Sometimes you may find the wheels not working properly, or there are dust and debris. Then you will need to get the bearings out and clean the wheels. If you don’t become familiar with each part, then it will be difficult for you.

Q2. How difficult is it for beginners to maintain balance on an electric skateboard?

A: Electric skateboard riding is effortless and faster. But in the first place, it requires a numberless effort and time for the beginners. You need to earn that riding skill by following some rules and techniques. When a skateboard runs, that is in motion. So, balancing the body with the motion is tough.

That’s why you should start at a low speed setting. Better if you try a regular non-electric skateboard for balance practice.

Q3. Can I take my e-skateboard on the plane?

A: This question has both types of answers: positive and negative.

Let me tell you first; there are conflicts regarding rules between the FAA and TSA. Plus, there are confusions also. FAA and TSA provide a distinct prohibition list of things that you cannot carry on a plane.

According to TSA, you can carry your electric skateboard on the plane if the battery is not more than 99Wh. On the other side, the FAA allows to carry it if the battery does not exceed 160Wh.

So it’s clear that if the battery size exceeds the mentioned size, then you will be barred to carry.

We have a solution here. If you detach the battery from the board, then you can carry the battery in hand luggage, and the board will go in check-in luggage.

Besides, every airline has separate rules. So before boarding, have a check on the rules.

Q4. Which is the correct standing stance on an e-skateboard?

A: We must say standing position depends on your comfort. Follow what you naturally feel. If the goofy stance makes you feel relaxed and give more balance, then avoid regular stance.

In this regard, we can share a trick with you. It is called the football trick. If you use your left foot to kick a football, then keep that foot in the back and right foot in the front. The foot placed in the end gives more stability and strength so that any accidents can be avoided.

Q5. Shall I buy my 7 years old kid to ride e-skateboards?

A: We will say no. There are no hard and fast rules regarding the minimum age number. But the expert skateboarders always discourage to let your 7 years old kid ride an electric skateboard. Instead, they suggest letting the kids ride a classic skateboard so that they can grow with it.
