- Motor Type: 24 Volt DC Brush Electric Motor, Rare Earth Magnet, High Efficiency (> 80%), Extremely Quiet
- Top Speed: 16 mph (26 km/h)
- Acceleration: 0-16 mph (26 km/h) in 5 seconds
- Braking: Electrical Regenerative Braking (Recharges Batteries)
- Speed and Braking Control: Wireless Hand-Held Compact Remote Control with Smart Coding to prevent interference with nearby riders
- Product Weight: 22 lbs (10 kg) with SLA Batteries, as light as 18 lbs (8 kgs) with Ni-MH (compare this to the competion's bulky 50 pounders!) Longboard has two additional SLA weight options for longer range: 27 lbs (12 kg) and 31 lbs (14 kg)
- Range (on level ground, minimal starts/stops, 170 lb rider): 12 miles (20 km) with Ni-MH 9.0 Amp Hour batteries (equivalent to 18.0 AH SLA), 6 miles (10 km) with Ni-MH 4.5 Amp Hour batteries (equivalent to 9.0 AH SLA), 4 miles (6 km) with 6.0 AH SLA batteries. Longboard offers two additional SLA options with the following ranges: 7 miles (11 km) with 24V 9.0 AH, and 10 miles (16 km) with 24V 12.0 AH
- Power Levels: 9 Rider Adjustable Power Levels (from Beginner to Advanced), so that rider can fine tune according to their personal riding comfort and skill level
- Hill Climbing Ability: Minimum 6 Degree Slope (depending on Rider Weight)
- Energy Efficiency: 1500 Miles/Gallon (mpg, Equivalent Electrical Energy), compare to a Toyota Prius Hybrid Car which gets 50 mpg (1/50 of the efficiency of the Metro Board)
- Energy Costs: $0.0005/mile, compare to a Toyota Prius $0.05/mile (100 times the energy costs of the Metro Board)
- Fuel Gauge: High Accuracy Audible Fuel Gauge activated by the Wireless Remote Control, tells you remaining battery capacity with a series of 1 to 4 beeps (4 beeps: 75-100% capacity remaining, 3 beeps: 50-75% capacity remaining, 2 beeps: 25-50% capacity remaining, 1 beep: 0-25% capacity remaining)
- Low Battery Detection: Warning Beeps disable acceleration to prevent overdischarge of batteries (Brakes still work, however, even when batteries are low)
- Lighting: Ultra-Bright Flashing Rear (RED) and Front (WHITE) LEDs enhance rider visibility at night
- Horn: Warns passersby, activated by the Wireless Remote Control
- Thermal and Current Overload Protection: Redundant mechanical and software temperature and current sensing, prevents damage to the electronics under extreme conditions
