very rough ride you will feel all the bumps and bounces, price still seems a little high and support seems a little slow so I will give it 4 stars. I returned it and purchased a MINI S because the price and I have no commute just dicken around. I still believe overall the product was rushed and that is why we see so many bent shaftts.
I own a Onewheel XR and a Evolve GTX. I never understood why people like boosted board so much until I got one. It is so much better than evolve! It is hard to say exactly why, but it just seems much better engineered. The control is much more intuitive and the throttle curve is just right. It responds just like you would want to to and is just so much better than evolve. The X also gets very good range and is nice and portable. Also Boosted customer service is top notch. First I bought the mini s, but the range just didn't cut it for me so I sent it back for a full refund and got the X.
First off the build design is real solid and I really love the quality, look, and finish of the board. It looks very futuristic and I get a lot of head turns when I'm riding. The torque on this board is amazing, this thing really takes off. Top speed could of been a little faster but 20 mph is pretty good. The one thing I do not like is how heavy it is. At almost 17 pounds I feel like I'm lugging weights around with me all day. I think my right arm got buffer holding this board around the city. The Xr battery is located in the front of the board so it's really hard to use the kicktail to turn (very front heavy). At the end of the day would I return it for the money? Not a chance in the world. Don't hesitate to buy. It will definitely bring u joy if not convenience.. (18 year veteran skateboarder) this thing brings back childhood memories.. But better!!
This thing literally changed my life for the better. I work a few blocks from home and never drive a car unless I need to. All I can say is this thing is not a toy. Respect its power and SLOWLY accelerate. If you punch it while standing on it you will be on the ground. Also wear a helmet and elbow pads. If anything wear one elbow pad on the arm facing the rear. I am 42 years old and my right elbow now looks like it belongs on an 11 year old kid all scarred up! (I wasn't smart enough to buy elbow pads) Once you get used to it you may rarely fall but expect a few tumbles early on. As far as customer support, Boosted has gone above and beyond what I would expect. I had a tire break early on and after sending them a couple pics they sent me a new one. I also had the battery just "die" on me, which yes did suck, but Boosted resolved the issue and sent me a new one after I returned the faulty one. I think I am pushing 200 miles on the board. With a melting Earth you almost can't make a better choice then electric transportation if biking and walking are out of the question. This will eventually pay for itself, I've already saved a couple tanks of gas for sure. Thanks Boosted!
In my opinion, Boosted board nailed it with this one! I like the performance and handling of this board.

Description
Boosted Mini X is the stash-and-go Boosted Board experience you've been waiting for. At only 29. 5 inches long, this electric skateboard fits perfectly under desks, in overhead storage on buses and Trains, and is built for riders who are always on the move. Our new custom-designed composite deck provides a wide, stable standing platform and features a deep dish concave shape for superior control. The kick tail design allows for quick pivoting in close quarters and lets you "float" over road imperfections. Best of all, Boosted Mini X delivers the same powerful acceleration and smooth, secure braking you expect from Boosted with ride modes and acceleration patterns designed to suit the board's compact profile. Boosted mini is where power meets agility. Get moving. Boosted Boards.
Straight-up, 10-times better than I ever imagined! Going around corners full throttle, is like a gnarly bottom turn off an 8-foot drop! Super fun, especially if you’re Jones-ing for waves in Texas!
Pros:
-You get what you pay for. This thing is solid
-If you've never owned an electric skateboard, this thing is a rocket. Don't listen to the nay-sayers.
-Easily 14+ miles in "Beginner mode". 10 ish in "Eco mode". Not brave enough to figure out "Pro mode".
Cons:
-She's a heavy gal
-Still too expensive
-Ride is rough
-Noticeable electric motor whine
I use this board on a college campus and I use it everyday. I usually only have to charge it once a week. I love that the bluetooth controller connects almost immediately and stays connected. There are a lot of uneven sidewalks and brick paths where I use it and I used it with the wheels it came with for a couple of weeks but read reviews on the Orangatang Caguama 85 mm. I replaced the wheels and felt no difference over the stock ones. Taking the belts off and getting them at just the correct tension when putting the wheels on was a pain. Do your self a favor and keep the stock wheels.
saving time and money.. park for free then skate to venue/appointment.
