October 3rd, 2018 | by Nicolas Zart

MellowBoards reached out to us to try its Cruiser electric skateboard (e-skateboard). After a 25 year break on a skateboard and then two e-skateboard reviews, I couldn't wait to try it out. After some hiccups on my side, I put four miles on the Cruiser on the first outing and now can't imagine not having one with me at all times

24 Miles Per Hour On The New Boosted Stealth Electric Skateboard (CleanTechnica Review)

July 18th, 2018 | by Kyle Field

Boosted's new Stealth board looks very much like the previous versions of the board, but much like the name implies, that is all just a cover to keep it flying under the radar. In reality, the Stealth is a wild dog, ready to chase after a bunny at a moments notice...but there's no bunny. Or maybe I'm the bunny and the controller is just begging me to crank it up one more time. It's all getting a bit blurry as the board takes off and my body crouches down, knees bent in search of the tenuous balance as the adrenaline hits my bloodstream again. Sweaty palms. My body begs for more as my brain tells my hand to lay off the acceleration

Testosterone-Packed KingKong Pro Electric Skateboard = Huge Smiles On Your Face (#CleanTechnica Review, Part 1)

April 9th, 2018 | by Nicolas Zart

Disclaimer: up until now, I've always shied away from electric skateboard tests since the choice was limited with a quality that didn't appeal to me. In an industry that is just starting, one exception is the KingKong Pro electric skateboard (e-skateboard). I've been following of its successful IndieGoGo campaign, which is ending soon (hurry up if you want to jump into that, by the way), and then I landed a review board. As you can guess, 1,800 MW of power spells oodles of fun and smiles! Read on for more details and a short bloopers video

Boosted Boards Dual+ Generation 2 Review (CleanTechnica Exclusive)

November 5th, 2017 | by Kyle Field

Boosted Boards is widely known as the leader in electrified skateboards. The very usable design — with 7 miles of range, an intuitive controller, and rider-friendly specs — made the first Boosted Board a winner off the line. It was more than capable as an around-town commuter board, a solution to the last mile for many transit riders, and perhaps most importantly, just a ton of fun to ride
