DabestherisHi Dabestheris,
I have been testing this board out for about a week now and I am very impressed by its speed, range and power for the price point. So far I have topped out at around 23mph but have only covered about 7 miles on a single ride with the radio registering 60% battery remaining, so pretty impressive and just about what the specs claim. I have ridden Meepo's, Koowheels and an InBoard M1 and these hubs outperform them. My usual ride is an Evolve Bamboo GT and I have to say this accelerates just as hard and the radio for the Tornado is much less "touchy" than the Evolve radio. I plan to give this board a real long range test tomorrow with the Bay Area ESK8 Group, a local E-Board community planning to do a 15 mile ride so it should be a good test. I will post the findings :) My only "real" complaint is that the bushings are a bit hard, but they can be easily swapped out in about 10 mins for $20.00. Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Dabestheris

DaveHoffThank you very much! Actually this is great because I too have an evolve board, Bamboo GTX, I am a little heavy for the board (240lbs) so I never expected to reach maximum battery life/range/speed, but it works great for me. My sister however is a lot lighter (literally less than half my weight) and doesn't like how powerful my board is so I was considering getting this Skatebolt for her birthday in July. Good to know the board is less twitchy than mine (I personally don't mind, but she really doesn't like it). Can't wait to hear what kind of range you're able to get. We live in Mpls. MN area so even 7 miles is more than enough for us!
