I flew with mine and it was an easy experience overall, compared to trying to fly with a Boosted 2nd gen. You don't need to disassemble anything, disconnect any wires, etc. This is great if you really need to travel with your board. This is one of the best overall features of the board, but it's clear that the marketplace would rather have a larger integrated battery than small, swappable ones.īatteries are airplane safe and can be carried on the plane (up to 3). Swappable battery that literally takes about 15-20 seconds to swap. (Yeah, they initially promised 24, and that sucks, but it's not a slow board by any means.) Very little maintenance compared to belt drives too, which I appreciated.Ģ2 mph top speed, measured and achievable by me and some friends, all of whom are 170-190 lbs. I always liked the general feel of hubs and being able to just coast and ride it like a standard longboard. Hub motors, so it can be pushed when it runs out of battery (which it will). I always loved the appearance of the M1 and I still do, but it's obviously a more expensive way of doing things and is less serviceable by the end user. It looks by and large like a normal longboard, something that is increasingly rare right now with most boards having the Boosted look (bare deck in the middle, visible parts near the wheels), or just have an enclosure that runs the full length of the deck. Stiff, clean-looking deck with all components integrated inside. So after a lot of use on this thing, where does it stand in hindsight here in 2019, over 4 years after the Kickstarter campaign? Let's do a quick pro/con: I won't get into the board's disappointing initial performance before firmware 2.3, or some of the initial promises versus the delivered product those items have been covered already in depth. Overall it has held up very well, but it was not without faults (as many of you well know). I've used it as a daily commuter into the city, a grocery getter, and a recreational vehicle. Having checked the mileage on my Inboard app today, I'm sitting at a pretty extensive 643 miles of use on the board. Public transit - it's too far from where you live and work, or you have to make multiple transfers to get to your destination.The Inboard M1 is officially out of stock and no longer for sale direct from Inboard, marking the end of a 4+ year saga that started with an aggressive Kickstarter campaign and ended with a whimper as Inboard exited the skateboard market and moved entirely to fleet scooters.Energy and infrastructure - you want to stop paying for fuel, contributing to congestion, and demanding more roads and gas stations.Convenience - maybe you don't like to bike in 100 degree heat, or show up to work after a 30 minute uphill walk.Money - the cost of gas plus wear and tear on your car, or the potential for theft of your bike.Space - where you fill up garages or parking lots, or room in a crowded hallway or stairwell.Time - the kind you waste in traffic and parking in a car, or finding a rack and locking your bike.It's just far enough that walking takes a lot of time, but other options aren't ideal. WHY WOULD I WANT AN ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD? The big problem with transportation, everyone knows that short distances (between 1 and 6 Kilometers) are annoying. From its streamlined look to its feel under foot, every detail of the M1™ is based on the idea of uninhibited flow. DISCONTINUED BRAND ARCHIVE Technology That Flows Inboard has designed the world's first skateboard with motors in the wheels.
