 The Boosted Board 2nd Gen Dual Plus is the latest and greatest hand controlled electric motorized longboard from Boosted. And after riding it around for two months I can tell you that it's every bit as cool as it looks. But is it $1500 dollars cool? Let's find out. Music Massdrop's K-type mechanical keyboard features custom switches, RGB, and is completely programmable. Check the dropout now at the link below. Probably the first thing you'll notice about the Boosted Board is the relatively lightweight and flexible deck. This is what makes it feel a lot more like a normal longboard and also contributes to a noticeably smoother ride when compared to rigid boards like the Blink Board and the Z-Board. This Dual Plus model has 2000 watts of power, giving it an impressive top speed of 22 miles an hour with the ability to tackle grades of up to 25%. But I'd personally go for the step down model since having this extra 500 watts of power will tempt you to use it, giving you less range. And besides, both models have dual motors, one for each of the back wheels, so you'll always have power no matter which way you're turning. Now let's talk about controls. The Z-Board and Z-Board 2 have pressure sensitive foot pads that let you control acceleration and braking with your feet by leaning forward and backward. Linus liked this in his review, but I found that keeping track of this while also steering and balancing is difficult and dangerous for me, so I wanted a hand controller. The one for the now defunct Blink Board looked promising, but it turned out to be incredibly cheaply made. Acceleration was imprecise and the brake would engage all at once, often bucking you off the board like a mechanical bull. And I know what that's like. Fortunately, the Boosted Board 2 does it right. Their ergonomic Bluetooth enabled remote is really easy to use, with a trigger to engage the motors and a spring loaded knob for proportional control of acceleration, braking and reversing. It features a button that lets you choose one of four speed profiles from beginner to pro, and the battery readouts for both itself and the board go a long way towards preventing you from getting awkwardly stranded. Overall, the Boosted Board 2 definitely has the best riding experience out of all the electric boards I've tried, and thankfully it does not require a stupid, sketchy smartphone app in order to unlock its full functionality, unlike the Blink Board and SmartPed. It's quick to start from a dead stop, even if you don't push off, and the hill climbing is seriously impressive, even though I weigh in at 205 pounds with all my gear. Going down a hill, I never felt out of control, since the proportional braking allows me to slow down as much or as little as I like. And when the board did get away from me, I was still able to bring it to a stop using the remote, which has an impressive range of up to 130 feet, and will beep at you if it loses the connection. All this is a huge safety bonus, and also great for doing parlor tricks like this walk the board bit that really grabs people's attention, as if it wasn't cool enough in its own right. What did you ride? What the hell are those trucks? Don't go telling them! What the f*** is that? Oh, you didn't know this is electric? It's electric? Yeah, man. It's not just the fun out of it, but also, oh my god! That's amazing! Well, I'm not really a long-boarder, but I think the motors make it more fun. The board got me around town in style, and was plenty fast enough, though without the 12-mile extended battery, the standard 7-mile battery doesn't have quite enough range for my typical after-work routine of Chipotle, Costco, Jim, home. But if you lose power, at least you can still ride it like a normal, albeit heavy, long-board. To avoid this, you can keep the charger in your backpack for a quick top-up at the coffee shop or wherever else. There's no handle on it, making it slightly awkward to hold, but the Boosted Board is small enough to take inside pretty much anywhere, including cars, buses, and trains. You can even take it shopping. Casey Neistat, a prominent YouTube vlogger, used to bike around New York, which I know because of this hilarious video. But now he always rides a Boosted Board. Why is that? Well, New York happens to be the perfect city for electric long-boarding. Its dense population means that everything you need is probably well within a 7-mile radius. It's easy to split lanes and maneuver in tight spaces, and unlike a bike, you don't have to lock it up when you reach your destination. Downtown Langley, B.C., on the other hand, is nothing but urban sprawl. It's a jumbled mess of turns, parking lots, and weird intersections. The easiest way to get around here is with an electric bike, not a car, and not the Boosted Board either. Because Langley's few bike lanes are often filled with debris and sidewalks are a definite no-no, it was safest for me to ride on the street. But I rarely rode on busy streets, since hitting a sizable crack or rock could be enough to throw me off into traffic, even with the relatively large 80-millimeter wheels. So here's the conclusion. For numerous practical reasons, I prefer electric bikes. But I still love riding around on the Boosted Board whenever the weather is favorable. So it all really depends on your environment and your lifestyle. The Boosted Board is not cheap, so I'd recommend first renting or borrowing one to see how well it works for you personally. But in my opinion, if weather, legality, and urban layout are all favorable, the Boosted Board is just a really fun, cool way to get around. And I know cool.
