Electric Skate Shop Oasis - Cruiser

Its not the best quality skateboard parts...the trucks and deck are kinda on the cheap side...but come on...its $700 for an electric skateboard.I LOVE mine.

After researching a few different electric skateboards like Marbel, Boosted, zboard, evolve, inboard (on kickstarter) I saw this board which was pretty much half the price of similar spec boards. It felt a bit too good to be true but I took a gamble and went for it.I originally ordered this board from a different company, but when I charged the board up it wouldn't turn on. After trying a few different things I realised it wasn't going to work so I had just been unlucky and got a dud so returned it.I then found electric skateshop in San Diego who were extremely helpful and so I decided to buy the board from these guys instead as they seemed more trustworthy and had promised me a working board. The board arrived quickly and as promised worked this time!I have had the board now for 2 weeks and so far it's been great. I tested it on a full charge on the first day on flat ground going mostly at top speed (about 16/17mph measured on an iPhone app) and the battery lasted for just over an hour and travelled 13.5 miles. Pretty damn good for a relatively cheap electric board! The acceleration is slow for the first 3 seconds and then it accelerates quickly to top speed.Just something to be aware of when braking from top speed, the braking is pretty sharp and almost threw me off the front the first couple of times. My board also makes a clicking sound when it brakes which sounds a little odd, not sure if it's supposed to do that? Hopefully it's normal!With the board being so cheap and produced in China, I do have some reservations over its reliability and how long it will last but so far it's been great and if it does last then it will be an awesome buy!If money wasn't an issue I would probably get the Marbel board as it sounds faster, smoother and just a generally better made board. But if you're like me and can't justify spending $1400, then this board is by far your best bet!

This board is a clone of the Yuneec E-Go. The motor may have been upgraded, but the battery doesn't last nearly as long and it doesn't feel as solid as my buddy's E-Go. The trucks are garbage and will squeak no matter how much you adjust them. I'm probably going to just take off all the electronics and buy a new longboard to install them on.

This board is really fun. The design and quality is beautiful! Clean lines. Plus the 22 mph is faster than I realized. My daughter took her iPhone on a ride and showed me her top speed was 23 mph.
