What Is An Electric Skateboard?

Electric skateboarding is relatively new and has only really gathered mainstream popularity in the last couple of years.

This article will be quite confusing to you if you don’t know what they are so let me quickly break it down for you and answer the question, what is an electric skateboard?

I have a great interactive guide that explains all of the components of an electric skateboard which is super helpful as a reference and getting a basic understanding of the parts that make up an electric skateboard.

But basically, an electric skateboard is a battery and motor powered skateboard that you control with a handheld remote.

They’re amazing because you can effortlessly ride up hills and travel much further than you would on a traditional skateboard.

People use them to ride to work, to the train station, on weekends with friends, to take their dog for a walk, to the beach with their surfboard underarm, to swing by the store to pick a few things up, to grab coffee, off road in the forest, along dirt mountain trails, and pretty much anywhere you want.

The benefits of e-skating go far beyond just having fun. They are environmentally friendly, help to reduce traffic congestion, improve mental health and even help you save some money in the long run.

E-skating is more than just a hobby or a sport, it’s a movement.

Jump on an e-skateboard and join us for the most fun you’ll ever have on a plank of wood with four wheels.
