Having never ridden a longboard (or even anything other than a bicycle), I was reluctant to purchase a Boosted. However, in May I took the plunge and received my board in June. I immediately started riding it and found that it was incredibly easy! I use it as my main form of transport and have been able to get 8-10 miles of range on mixed terrain and with a weight of 140 lbs on "expert." As of today, I have logged 440 miles on my board and am shocked at how reliable and fun it is. There are a few things you need to know about it:
- The board is very flexible and the wheels are wide which makes it ride extremely smooth, even on NYC and NJ broken roadways
- Depending on location, the drive belts will need to be replaced every couple hundred miles; here in NYC/NJ I change mine every 200 miles and the brand to buy is ROMP 225-3M (or the Boosted ones)
- I haven't had to perform any service beyond the belts, but I do recommend buying an extra set of things before you need them since Boosted tends to run on low stock 24/7
- Buy a 3mm Hextip T-handle tool for repairing/replacing parts on the board
- If you plan on riding at night or in darker areas, buy a set of shredlights brand lights (these are specifically designed for the Boosted Board)
- Don't forget board shoes!
I've attached the things I've purchased to use with my board that I've mentioned (that are available on Amazon). I also have attached a link to a carrying case, hooks (for wall mounting), and a stand (if you don't want to wall mount). For the lights, just search for shred lights and be sure to get the Boosted bracket!

I am not sure if this is a used model, a reconditioned return, or if the Boosted team just tested it heavily. It's clearly not a truly new/unused unit. The condition of the wheels vs the condition of the ECU and battery tells me it's a reconditioned open box item. (NOT exactly what was advertised).
I will update this later and report on performance.

Is is used or reconditioned???
By M. Crider on June 11, 2018
I just received my board about 10 minutes ago. Upon unboxing, it was visible see attached pics) that this board, or at least these components had been ridden. The wheels were new, and dusty, as if they had been sitting a shelf for a while, and did not appear to be ridden. Unfortunately, the battery case and ECU module had noticable dings. Additionally, after pairing the board to my phone, the stats stated that the unit had been ridden 8 miles.By M. Crider on June 11, 2018

I haven't ridden a skateboard in over 20 years....within 15 minutes I was up to pro mode zipping down the bike paths here in DC. Can't wait for the extended battery!!!!
This is the new eco friendly way to get around the urban areas for sure!!!
UPDATE!....I'm now over 200 miles on my board...I use it almost daily and love It!!! My wife was so jealous, that I ended up buying her one too!
Here are a few tips....buy a spare charger!!!!!
Go to flatlander3d.com and pick up the nose and tail guards!!!!!!!!
WEAR A HELMET at least!!!! It has saved my thick skull already and that was at less than 5mph with a fractured clavicle and a broken rib....this thing does over 20mph!!! I love the triple 8 sweat saver models.
If you want a perfect stand for you board for the hallway while charging at home, this is the best...It's called the "Top Stage Pro Universal Guitar Stand"...cheap and available on Amazon prime!
Find a bag to hold it on your shoulder or get a snowboard bag that allows you to strap it to you back...comes in handy as hell!
Even a Velcro sling for skateboards will work.
Again, buy a second charger to carry in your bag....
Another MUST have is a GOOD skate tool, a 4mm Allen key and a Philips screwdriver....
BUY EXTRA BELTS!!!!!! I keep an extra set per board. I hit 150 miles before a rock took a solid hit on the belt and it broke...thankfully had a spare!
Don't ride through water and try stay away from gravel at all costs....it will destroy the bottom of your board a few nicks at a time. Already had to flip the skid guards over( each guard can be flipped and reused)
Belts are easy to change...May even want to try removing one and reinstalling before your miles from home on the road when it does break.
Get used to people stopping you to talk about your board often...I have developed a "stare ahead and ignore" habit or I would never get where I want to go.
The board reacts better at moderate speed or high speed way better than creeping along...such as turning...
My wife has never ridden a skateboard in her life and finds it difficult to make turns at a few miles per hour...a little speed helps alot.

Dont hesitate, just get it!!!! Sooooo much fun!!!!
By Murphy on September 20, 2017
Ok, so I have only had this for a day, but I am amazed!!!! If it wasn't dark out, I would still be out riding the board. I haven't had this much fun in a long time and the looks you get from everyone around is pretty dope too. I am a 42 year old 210lbs and this thing pulls my ass around no problem!By Murphy on September 20, 2017
