What are the best qualities in an electric skateboard:

Electric skateboards have grown in popularity like never before. There are daily commuting boards, off road electric skateboards and entry level boards that are perfect for helping people master their balance on a skateboard. There are many new companies entering the market but the problem with so much competition is that there are a number of companies that are working in a race to the bottom to produce the cheapest product. Although battery technology has gotten cheaper, choosing lower quality components on an electric skateboard can put yourself at risk. If you want to ensure you are getting a high quality e skateboard, consider some of these top qualities that you should be seeking:

Strong components:

Some of the cheapest electric skateboards on the market today are using a number of plastic components and choosing lighter aluminum components for their main construction. The upside to lighter components is that they can save on weight, but the downside is that the board can have a lower lifespan for use. Upgrading to an e skateboard that is capable of offroad use can be a great way to get stronger components. A standard electric longboard will likely take you to the office in style, but a manufacturer like Lacroix boards can give you an electric skateboard with stronger components like ceramic bearings, titanium axles, Stronger rims, upgraded drives and shielding for all battery components. When a skateboard is upgraded for heavy use, you will be in much better shape for enjoying a longer lifespan on the board.

A great control system:

A quality remote will make sure that you have the power when you need it and responsive controls. When there are delays with your controls, it can lead to the chance that you could fall or get into trouble with your electric skateboard. Maintaining great signal with the board and a strong sense of response as you are riding the board is essential. All Lacroix boards include a Hoyt Puck Remote system that links directly to the responsive braking and belt drive system. This gives you the power that you need when it is needed the most.

Fast charging and a great battery:

There is nothing worse than being stranded or having to call a cab when you end up with a dead battery. Having a battery life that you can depend on and versatile charging technology remains an important staple of the electric skateboard. The Lacroix Lonestar Supersport comes with an insane battery life and a range of 80-160km. With the 12 amp charger upgrade the board can be charged in just 2 hours. For just a simple charge, you can often get all the juice you need to manage a whole week of commuting or a few full days out longboarding. With the charger upgrade, you will have all the versatility you need to get back out there after your lunch break of charging too.

 A cool factor: There are electric skateboards today that come in some very standard designs. They are outfitted with hardware that can make them travel easily but they resemble the look of fairly plain longboards. A great quality E skateboard should be a statement about excitement. It’s a vehicle that helps you feel the wind in your hair and take on nearly any terrain if it has the right suspension. The Lacroix Nazare Supersport is upgraded with a flashy performance deck, a powerful belt drive, sport suspension, a sporty color palate and a truly performance look. You will feel like you are riding the Lamborghini of electric skateboards here.
