What's the top speed? what's the range?
mine only goes 12mph on a flat road. It is fast enough on sidewalk when I pass other people. it's not fast enough on a bike lane with other bikers and cars passing right by.
On a moderate hill, it really slows down. If it's bit steep hill, it moves like walking speed.
You can ride this kind of like snowboard. going zig zag and carve around on a Flat surface (you can't do that with just long board obviously)
Overall, I can't complain since I paid $500. this should be fun to use around the city (def not SF though)
With your setup, you can drive around places like Laguna beach hills or West hollywood hills. That would be pretty sweet.
Electric bike could be similar but standing on the board, turning your head around to enjoy the scenery gives you totally different experience.
I am going to put gopro on the board to film while travelling around the city as well.
Maybe I should holler at you when I go to LA haha.

One word: BOOSTED! Prior to touting this product, I'll qualify: 60 this year, have been skating for 55 years and I'm still actively surfing/snowboarding/skating (bowls/skateparks/etc.) I've been watching this niche market for a while, waiting until someone got it right. Boosted Boards as truly built a better mousetrap - these boards are head & shoulders above anything else on the market. I've had mine for about 6 weeks, and cannot get enough of riding it. My hilly LA neighborhood has become my "de facto asphalt ski resort" and I sit at my desk thinking about Boosting after work! This fucker FLIES - it's like a Hoverboard, the torque is out of this world!
The Dual+ is about $1,700.00 USD out the door - not cheap, but I've since bought ANOTHER one. Like Jet Skis - you need two of these to really enjoy riding with your friends! I'm also stoked that my afternoon sessions are now doubled in length now that I have two fully-charged boards! If you have any questions about Boosted Boards, please hit me up!
