Everything You Need To Know Before Buying A Metroboard Electric Skateboard

Metroboard has been perfecting electric skateboards since 2003, and with more than a decade of engineering, design, and manufacturing under our belts we’ve discovered exactly what works and what doesn’t.

So here’s a breakdown of our boards, our components, and why Metroboard is one of the best boards on the market.

Aesthetics

 

Let’s be real, nobody wants to ride atop a clunky electric skateboard that looks more like a Frankenstein brainchild than an actual skateboard. That’s why Metroboard has spent literally years streamlining our boards to look as much as possible like their non-motorized counterparts, and the result is a thing of beauty.

Metroboard offers a variety of deck sizes and designs to choose from, each outfitted with a slim 22mm battery pack protected by an aircraft-grade aluminum housing.

And different wheel sizes and colors, plus front and rear high-power LED lighting, gives that extra bit of head-turning flare that truly makes Metroboard stand out.

Range

 

Metroboard believes in limitless riding for your non-stop life, which is why we offer models with up to a 40-mile range. Yes. Really.

Having the capability to carve for up to 40 miles means Metroboard electric skateboards can be used for much more than just going “the last mile.” Need to ride to work then head out on your lunch break before riding home later in the evening without having to recharge? No problem.

Range anxiety? Not with Metroboard.

Power

 

With 3000 Watts, there’s plenty of power to be had. Metroboard’s 6374 Brushless Outrunner Motors get you to top speed in seconds and will rocket you up Everest-worthy hills without even breaking a sweat.

But the 63mm diameter motors aren’t just 50% more powerful than Metroboard’s competitors, they’re also custom wound to provide low speed/high torque. This allows for smaller gear ratios between the motor and the drive wheel, which in turn means less drag and better coasting.

 

Controller

 

Metroboard’s newly designed Brushless Motor Controller is the brains behind the brawn, and it’s as smart as it is tough. The Made-in-America circuit board is built to soak up the vibration from every bump, crack, pebble, impact, and piece of debris without adverse effect, making this piece of tech more than able to survive the daily grind.

Remote

 

Our New Mini RC RF (2.4 GHz) Remote with proportional speed and braking control will give a super responsive ride both while accelerating and braking, allowing you to start and stop on a dime!

Its small size (1.6″ wide x 1″ thick x 5″ long) allows you to easily store it in your pocket while not riding!

 

Lights

 

High-power 2 Watt LED headlights and taillights cut through the darkness to provide ample illumination for night riding, as well ensure you’re completely visible to traffic and pedestrians. And as an added bonus the blue and red hues look totally awesome.

 

Wheels

 

Longboarders know how important wheels are, and so does Metroboard. That’s why we offer Genuine Abec11 Brand in two sizes: 83mm and its big brother the 97mm, which are especially good for carving through less-than-perfect streets.

Decks

 

To longboard or skateboard, that is the question. Metroboard likes versatility, and that’s why we have a variety of deck sizes ranging from carve-happy 41” decks to more compact and portable 29” decks, and a few sizes in-between. It’s like the Baskin Robins of electric skateboarding.
