 Elektroskate special-site |
Elektroskate from Manchester, England, currently offers three models.
They claim that the next generation of electric skateboards is supposed to be way ahead of all the others regarding designs,
technology and performance. Some of the new features are, for example, the digital bluetooth 2.4G remote control, very light lithium
batteries, and brushless motors. Thus, the boards are supposed to become faster, lighter, and more silent. On top of that, they are to
allow a much longer run-time. The smallest model is 400 watts and supposed to speed up to 32 km/h. The 600 watts version is supposed to reach 40 Km/h, and the 800 watts terrain version even wicked 48 Km/h! Tires and the boards' shapes are identical to the ones of the aforementioned manufacturers. Price-wise the whole deal looks as follows: About 490€ (aprox. £450) for the 400 watts board, circa 650€ (aprox. £600) for the 600 watts board, and about 760€ (£700) for the 800 watts board. The British boards can be controlled via an egg-shaped bluetooth remote control. |

E-Glide is another US-based manufacturer who refers to their boards as the "World's most reliable
hi-performance powerboards". This might sound megalomaniac, but a healthy dose of self-confidence hasn't hurt anyone yet. E-Glide delivers nine models of which seven are equipped with a 400 watts motor that is supposed to speed up to 32 Km/h. Furthermore, there are a 800 watts terrain model and a new low deck model. The latter is known as the 'sports car' among all electric skateboards. It is positioned lower and equipped with bionic trucks. This is supposed to let you control the board more, and, also, lead to a better, improved feeling while on the board. Decks are available in different sizes and with various tires. Regarding their prices, the boards from E-Glide are also different from the ones of other manufacturers. Prices start at $609 (aprox. 460€) and go up to $1,299 (aprox. 990€) E-Glide's powerboards can be controlled via a wired remote control. The manufacturer justifies this wired remote control by stating that the current wireless technology isn't perfected enough yet for its use with electric skateboards. Additionally, they claim that the boards are a lot quieter than the ones with a wireless remote control. Rest assured that we are going to investigate on that! |
