But it's plausible as a fast, minimal entry point to electric vehicles in general, potentially attracting more capital to expand a proven product line, instead of trying to start with a car. I hope they're planning something like that.
They're for sale now, whereas boosted is still a month away from the 2nd batch preorder that I made.
On the weight-range-performance triangle, boosted picked weight and performance, where as this company picked weight and range. This board seems like a better setup for commuting, whereas boosted might be better for the "sport" of longboarding with its 2kw dual-motors.
All of the alternatives I have seen either are too heavy, too expensive, insufficient range or power, or simply created without an understanding of how a skateboard functions.
