I was part of a focus group for Boosted board when they were doing market research for their Rev. In the group we were shown images of what looked like a Honda Ruckus, but electric that would have been at a price point of around $2200. I was EXTREMELY excited for this product, but it never came out.

1:17 "Was this battery removable, it's likely." By looking at those welds and there being no obvious clip in/out points for the batter, AND the fact that this is Boosted, who made a 10mile scooter (which I own) that has no replaceable battery. Why in the world would they make their bike battery replaceable?!? I'm definitely looking to upgrade my wife's Boosted Rev sometime soon. Will probably upgrade my GTR Bamboo to a LaCroix. And get her something that can at LEAST do 20 miles real world full speed easily. We absolutely love our current setup. It's loads of fun! But it would be nice to have some more range. And I personally would REALLY like more power and less overheating.

OK one question I know some of your skaters might get a little bit T off butWhy not just have a version of this electric skateboard where you attach the handle bar shaft in the front so you can convert it to a kick scooter and just attach the electronics to that that way you have both options a skateboard and kick scooter for those who want to kick scooter and those who are more adventurous and want more of a work out and want to skate board?

PRETTY sweet if ya ask me!! god bless Sam, hope things are getting better in NYC, i just lost my great aunt from COVID-19 so i kno it must be tough out there... yall have police enforced curfew, like we do in my little town? neways hope that helps def check the diy esk8 website they have absolutely everything u need!! and DIY right along with the video it is as simple as that just follow the leader so to speak! lates, -p3t3r

@mushieslushie
@mushieslushie 4 года назад
That just looks like an early lineup concept. You can see they all use design elements from the v2, and then there is a straight up v2 in there. The mini probably became what the little concept was. That scooter is also probably what became the rev as it's clearly just a 'scooter' placeholder and nothing specific. The ultimate is the stealth, wether they ever actually tested boards with 4 motors or not who knows, but those are obviously just early concepts and not anything that was ever made. The tony hawk board is just a mini with a different deck on it.

In the meantime my boosted board is dead (motors wires) and I will never be able to fix it and ride it anymore, it was a part of me like an extension and I can't imagine searching for an other products (evolve for example ...) to replace it ...
