An eBay Buyer's Guide to Boosted Complete Longboards
If you're already comfortable riding a skateboard, then you may be ready to try riding a boosted board. Boosted longboards, also known as electric skateboards, are a fun and safe way to take your skateboarding to the next level, whether you do it for fun, skill, or commuting. Learn what the different types of boosted longboards are, including branded Boosted boards, and which types are right for your needs.
Types of Boosted longboards on eBayThe first thing to note when you search for a boosted electric skateboard on eBay is that boosted (lowercase) is a description, but Boosted (capitalized) is a brand. In other words, you can buy Boosted brand electric longboards and you can buy "boosted" electric longboards made by other manufacturers. Both types have much to offer in the way of fun, safety, and power, and may be comparable depending on the particular models. Among the different types of branded Boosted boards you'll find on eBay include:
- Boosted Stealth - Offers a 24 mph top speed, five ride modes, and a 14-mile range.
- Boosted Mini X - Offers a 20 mph top speed, three ride modes, and a 14-mile range.
- Boosted Mini S - Offers an 18 mph top speed, three ride modes, and seven-mile range.
- Boosted Plus - Offers a 22 mph top speed, four ride modes, and a 14-mile range.
- Boosted Rev - Offers a 24 mph top speed, three ride modes, and a 22-mile range.
There are several specific criteria used to distinguish and differentiate Boosted skateboards. One major factor is how each board feels while you ride it. A Boosted board may offer varying degrees of dexterity and power in urban settings, in bike lanes, on sidewalks, on campus or on the open road, and varying levels of stability, maneuverability, and speed. Boosted boards also differ in the composition and features of their drivetrain, battery, and deck. Other factors and characteristics used to describe a Boosted board on eBay include the following:
- Top speed
- Charge time
- Weight and dimensions
- Braking system
- Remote control type
- Number of preprogrammed ride modes (i.e. Beginner, Eco, Expert, Pro, Hyper)
If you're looking for a bargain on a better Boosted board than you can afford new, or you can only find your preferred choice of Boosted board used, check it thoroughly before buying to make sure it's in perfect riding condition.
