People everywhere are fascinated by electric boards because they look cool and fun, and literally every day I ride mine, I have someone stop me and ask me about my Possway electric skateboard.

Regardless of how you heard about electric skateboards, you’re here for an answer to a question I asked myself years ago: Is an electric skateboard worth it? Should I buy an electric skateboard? I’m sure you have lots of questions. Below, I’ve answered all the most common questions for you.

What is an Electric Skateboard?

An electric skateboard is a skateboard driven by an electric motor. Nowadays, an electric skateboard on the market has a wireless handheld controller that fits in your hand and is easy to use. It will let you change speed settings and braking modes. Some electric skateboards can reach a speed of 56km/h. (34.8mph) The price of an electric skateboard goes from $99 to up to $2,000. An esk8 allows you to ride down the city streets fast or go up hills effortlessly and, most of them usually take around one to five hours to get fully charged. Most importantly, an electric skateboard is easier to ride than a normal one.

Pros of Electric Skateboards

Electric skateboards make commuting more fun. I never thought that commuting would be fun before until I got an electric skateboard. It brought a lot of fun to the monotonous daily life. You don't have to worry about missing the bus or facing heavy traffic.

 

Electric skateboarding is also a good way of exercising. It can exercise your leg muscles and improve your sense of balance. At the same time, it is also a low-carbon mode of travel, which is much more environmentally friendly than cars.

 

If you're a snowboarder or surfer, an electric skateboard can be a great way to keep up with your skills. The high-speed electric skateboard can offer similar effects to these two sports, and it also has brakes to improve safety.
