![]() The acceleration feels smooth and braking doesn't feel too abrupt. Unlike many of the other electric boards I've seen, the Blink Lite seems to be using a hub motor instead of a gear-belt one. My guess is that this is made for safety reasons-I can see how it would bother some racing enthusiasts, though. The board can get pretty fast in a matter of seconds, but not blazing so fast that you would feel like you're putting your life on the line. I gave it a shot I've loved it ever since. The Blink Lite caught my attention not only because it's an electric skateboard, but also because it's only 7lbs, which is much lighter than most electric skateboards out there AND even some non-electric skateboards. My naive self had no idea how tiresome walking could be, so during summer, I've turned to see what skateboards I could purchase. Students use skateboards and bikes as a means of transportation due to the limited amount of parking spots (also because many of them come from out of state). As a student who has just experienced his first year in college, I've come to realize how drastically larger a college campus can be compared to your local high school. My story with my Blink Lite is kinda interesting: I made my purchase of the board out of need. The dimensions and performance are not significantly different, but the Blink Lite wins on price by a long shot.Ī phone call to Acton revealed that the standard Blink is getting an upgrade and may fit the bill of what one would look for in a primary daily use board. There is another "bolt board" that I've been following that seems to be a similar product but is yet to be released and is well over double the price. If cheap, light and portable are your goals and you would have no use for a larger and/or faster board, this is the only way to go. For this purpose, it was worth the money. I purchased this board as a "guest board" to accompany my main electric skateboard. ![]() Zboard: Smaller, slower, cheaper, different control mechanism Less than half the price and almost 1/3 of the range. Poor/almost useless braking (even following their specific braking instructions)Īlmost no uphill usability (although this is disclosed in their incline rating)īoosted: A small fraction of the price, but slower and smallerĮ-go: Smaller, but due to E-go's speed limiter, roughly the same top speed. No drag when you pull off the throttle/easy coasting downhill
