I've also setup my MetroBoard slim to ride in the rain, I ran 80mm wheels, and NEVER have I experienced "squirrely" or felt like the board was "uncontrolled". If you're on dry pavement, you're totally fine. What? A one wheel drive system making the board feel "exceptionally squirrely"? That sounds like a pretty much of a stretch of a statement if I've ever heard one! And "uncontrolled"? If they want an uncontrolled board they need to test my Evolve Carbon GT. "This board actually had decent acceleration, but only having one powered wheel made it feel exceptionally squirrely and uncontrolled in our acceleration test, causing it to lose some favor." Here's another BS line I found them say about the MetroBoard: They don't fall off a cliff early on, very early, like the GT does. The MetroBoards I have will hold their same top speed rather consistently across the battery curve / drain. It doesn't last long and I have the larger battery in the CGT. They also didn't go into how the battery meter on the Evolve GT is NOT accurate at all! That caught my attention and was a BIG disappointment for me.Īlso, how long did they sustain that 22mph on the GT? They didn't mention that. what the? Its not a skateboard, its in its own class. And putting the one-wheel in there with skateboards. I found other odd mistakes / oddities in this article to make me go hmmmm. The bottom of the motor mount can scrape, but so does the damn Evolve with 83mm wheels which they ran on all these boards. And when they say the motor is low that it gets hit on curbs, I'm like, what? No. Sounds fishy to me personally, I've had nothing but A+++ customer service with MetroBoard. Well found one of these guys who did in fact buy a MetroBoard, but Ilan couldn't find one single email what-so-ever regarding the customer having any customer service questions nor had they contacted Ilan / MetroBoard after he sold them the board. Not saying a person couldn't have a bad experience, however, Ilan the owner of MetroBoard did some research since he does not want to leave customers out in the cold and wanted to see if there was an issue he'd missed. If you look at every forum, the website of MetroBoard, it has 5 stars and people put that up there as one of the highest quality. Reason being they said that MetroBoard didn't have that great customer service.
You can see the MetroBoard was scratched on its tail from standing on end.Īnother interesting detail, I don't trust the people honestly in this article. Its really a pain in the butt not having the ability to stand the board on its end. Uphill climbing is really not an option, as the board struggles to overcome a 7 degree incline.I'm surprised they didn't complain about the motors being vulnerable to scratching and damaged with the GT. The board is really made for travel on smooth, flat surfaces. This, again, is due to the compact size of the ACTON BLINK. The maximum rider’s weight, recommended by the manufacturer, is 180 pounds. The maximum speed is 10 miles per hour, and that varies depending on terrain and rider’s weight. The little board won’t win any speed races either. You can, however, use the board as a normal skateboard when the motor is off or the battery is dead. Whereas other boards might allow you to travel ten or more miles on a charge, the ACTON BLINK only travels about 5 miles before the battery dies. It takes over 2 hours to fully charge the battery. The battery recharge time is ridiculously long. Unfortunately, due to its compact size, the ACTON BLINK doesn’t measure up to the bigger boards in terms of performance and speed. back to menu ↑ Acton Blink Lite Electric Skateboard Review Other outstanding features include a wireless remote control, regenerative braking, and a smartphone app that will track your mileage and speed. Equipped with LED light strips, for safety and visibility, the BLINK is aptly named. This little board only measures 30 inches long and weighs just 7 pounds. The ACTON BLINK is nowhere near that bulky. That’s a lot of board, especially for a preteen or teenager. Many of the other electric boards available today are 36 to 40 inches long, and weigh 10 to 15 pounds. The difference between those boards and this one is the motor.
With a shaped nose and tail, the ACTON BLINK is reminiscent of the classic boards of the 80’s. We have to begin with the amazing size and weight of this board. Lightweight doesn’t describe its features though. It is the lightest electric board on the market. The 30 inch board weights in at just 7 pounds. The ACTON BLINK Electric Skateboard, made by ACTON Global in Silicon Valley, California, has set the bar high when it comes to quality and functionality of an electric skateboard.
