The Most Advanced Motorized Skateboard of 2018

While the original electric skateboards were invented by a man named Louie Finkle of California in the late '90s, the past few years have seen a complete revolution of the idea. Now, boards are lighter, safer, and faster than ever. Every year seems to bring skaters bigger and better boards, and 2018 has been no exception. For those looking for information on which boards they should check out in 2018, there are a few amazing models available.

Boosted Dual+ 2000w

The Boosted Dual+ 2000w skateboard has steadily become one of the most talked about pieces of technology in the skateboard industry. This is definitely the skateboard to watch through 2018. One of the most appealing things about the Boosted Dual+ 2000w is its impressive speed. 

The maximum speed this board can reach is about 22 MPH, which is to be expected from such a powerful motor and makes it one of the fastest boards on the market today. Speed was a primary factor in the design of the board, as it is designed to be used as a form of urban transportation and has to compete with other devices, such as a self balancing scooters.

In addition, this board has the added function of regenerative braking, a method of braking where some of the energy is restored back to the battery. This means when you brake on this skateboard, you can actually recharge some of the battery while you're riding.

Boosted Dual 1500w

While the Dual+ 2000w model is impressive for veterans, it can be intimidating for beginners. Luckily, Boosted has also released a 1500w model which has been designed to be much more beginner friendly. The 1500w does include many of the amazing features of the Dual+ 2000w, although the two do differ when it comes to speed. 

The 1500w includes a beginner mode where speeds are capped at about 10 MPH, allowing beginners to gain confidence at a steady speed. This board also features a lightweight, bamboo design along with the regenerative braking power seen in the Dual+ 2000w model.

InBoard M1

For those who plan to use their board for commuting, the Inboard M1 might be the model to keep an eye on. While this board won't run as fast as the Dual 2000+, it does have the ability to travel a few extra miles. The InBoard M1 comes standard with a 1000w motor and can reach 10 miles on a charge versus the 7 miles that both Boosted boards reach. The M1 also features regenerative braking as well as a gorgeous deck design.

  

All in all, 2018 will be an impressive year for electric skateboards. Boosted has two amazing models dominating the market. The Dual 2000+ crushing the competition with its impressive speed, and the Boosted 1500w offers a fantastic entry model that can be enjoyed by beginners and veterans alike. 

The InBoard M1 rounds out an impressive lineup with a beautifully designed board and lengthy battery life. We see these boards getting better every year, and 2018 offers us three amazing boards to keep an eye on.
