Giving credit where credit is due, Boosted Boards kickstarted an entire category of viable electric vehicles, primarily because of improved battery technology, electric skateboards went from pipe dream to your city, zipping by with that characteristic mmmp. They’re everywhere. Your standard electric board maxes out around 20 mph, but a new generation of high-performance boards is emerging, packing as much juice as possible onto the deck, and quite frankly, they’re getting SCARY. Here are ten of the fastest high-performance models, ranked from slowest to fastest.
Evolve GTR
The GTR series from Evolve comes in two flavors when you’re choosing a design: a bamboo deck and a carbon one with two sets of wheels available: street and off-road, so there are plenty of options if you want to customize this board. The street model is built for pavement maxes around 26mph and all-terrain with beefier wheels hits about 22 but can tackle light off-road terrains like grass and gravel. This board has plenty of power to shoot you up a 30% gradient hill, which is pretty steep.
Boosted Stealth
This electric board from the OG of this game Boosted has a very sleek and premium design aesthetic, making it an excellent four-wheeled vehicle that you could ride for a practical commute or even for the thrill of its top speed of 24 miles per hour, which isn’t too shabby. The extra flexible deck of this skateboard makes for an energetic and responsive ride that will help riders feel safe and stable while maneuvering aggressively at high speeds and on downward tracks.
Meepo NLS
3.9-inch wheels, regenerative braking, and a top speed of up to 26 miles per hour are the main features that make Meepo NLS a worth trying super-fast electric skateboard. And at a price point of only $499, this gadget is a little beast that can easily compete against the behemoths of the market. Seeing all of Meepo’s features we can recommend it as a beginner board for the enthusiasts who are just starting to ride.
XTND
Presented as the first electric board with AI built into it, the Xtnd is lightweight, extremely cool, and has a charging time of only 60 minutes, which is both amazing and very convenient at the same time. The top speed this skateboard can reach is 28 miles per hour and is intended to revolutionize urban transportation as we know it. The real catch is that this intelligent electric board is not only speedy but it is also able to continually improve itself as you use it.
Exway X1 Pro
We cannot deny the fact that the Eway caught our eye from the first moment we saw it, it is the ebony black deck, and the shiny smooth wheels make it an exquisite-looking vehicle. This is very impressive because this electric skateboard is made to be taken on rugged roads and rocky paths. With a competitive speed of around 29 miles per hour, we can safely say that the X1 Pro is that perfect mid-range electric board that can be enjoyed both by professionals and by novices.
Enertion Raptor 2.1
After studying its specifications, we concluded that Enertion Raptor 2.1 is the holy grail of boards for technical enthusiasts and tinkerers, with its fully modular, open-source, and programmable electronic propulsion system this is the perfect project board if you want to dive under the hood and do some modding and make adjustments. In other words: this electric vehicle is the material of dreams. A maximum speed of up to 30 miles per hour will more than suffice when taking this electric skateboard out for a ride.
Fiik Spine
Fiik Spine sports a highly distinctive design, with a black deck made of specially engineered carbon flex and four bright yellow wheels 80mm or 3.1 inches wide. Only two hours are needed to fully charge this board that can reach the maximum speed of 30 miles per hour and can be used for a range of 25 miles. The Australian-made Fiik is made to not require a lot of maintenance and this is why it’s an ideal board for the durability-minded.
BajaBoard Pantera
With four motors, one driving each wheel, this Baja Board model knows how to take off, accelerating from 0 to 30 miles per hour in less than 3 seconds, a pretty impressive record to be honest, and a very hard test to pull off since you really can’t stay on this thing full throttle. Moreover, the alloy suspension structure makes it aboard good enough to be taken on the rockiest, most bumpy tracks, but we do recommend that you ride it only if you are an experienced boarder because this baby knows how to take you for a spin!
Carvon EVO 4WD
The Carvon Evo 4Wheel Drive is an extremely fast vehicle, going at about 50 miles per hour while also having an innovative technology behind its design that makes it way easier to steer and just extra stable on the road. Taking into consideration its jaw-dropping speed you might think that the Evo’s battery will die after 5 miles, but this is not the case, because it’s going to last for a good 25 miles, which is more than amazing if you ask us.
NGV Nextboard
It’s truly mind-boggling that an electric skateboard can reach speeds of up to 68 miles per hour! This is downright insane and unbelievable, but you better believe it because the NGV Next board is very real and it’s a beast of a skateboard, made to be the fastest electric board in the world and intended to satisfy even the most daring and adventurous skateboarders on the face of the earth.
Electric skateboard technology has come a long way in these last few years and some of these boards are ridiculously fast.
