Electric Skateboard and electric skate

How to choose an electric skateboard?

Would you like to experience new urban riding sensations and switch to an electric skateboard?

Here are the 3 points to consider when buying an electric skateboard.

The speed and torque on the electric skateboard is primarily managed by the motor. As for any type of vehicle, the more powerful the motor of the electric skateboard is, the faster you can go. A high-end electric skateboard like the Mellow Board Surfer offers a 2000W motorization to run at 40 km/h while an electric longboard skateboard Sylver Mountain will have a double motor of 2x 1500 W which will propel you to 49 km/h. You will find on the different models of electric skateboards, either motors integrated in the wheel (Hub motor), or belt motors. The latter have more torque and are generally preferred by experienced skateboarders. They have a better acceleration and lose less power when you ride on an uphill slope.

The second element to consider when buying an electric skateboard is the autonomy of the machine. This depends on the power of the battery. It is expressed in Watt Hour (or in Volt and Ampere Hour). The battery of an electric skateboard is mostly of Lithium-Ion technology. In addition, most of the electric skateboards sold by Weebot have a battery regeneration system during braking. This is very useful to optimize the autonomy of an e-skate.

Le poids du skate électrique est aussi un point à garder en tête. Il dépends à la fois des matériaux utilisés lors de la fabrication de la planche ainsi que du moteur et de la batterie. En effet, un skateboard électrique possédant un moteur puissant et une batterie haute capacité aura tendance à être plus lourd qu’un modèle d’entrée de gamme. Aussi, un longboard électrique sera plus lourd qu’un modèle ‘penny skate’ car sa planche est plus grande.

Can we ride on the sidewalks with an electric skateboard?

The electric skateboard is not classified as a motorized vehicle in the eyes of the legislation. You can therefore ride at 6 km/h thanks to its wireless remote control on pavements and without any particular limitation on cycle paths.

All our electric skateboards are guaranteed for 2 years. The battery, however, is only guaranteed for 1 year as required by European law on electrical products. By avoiding using electric skateboards in rainy weather, you can expect to keep your board for many years.

Yes, there are all-terrain electric skateboards specially designed for this discipline. If you want to ride on dirt or gravel roads, these machines are equipped with inflatable wheels to overcome obstacles. The model we recommend is the Sylver Mountain electric skateboard. Its off-road tires will allow you to drive easily on any type of terrain.
