M1 Electric Skateboard Inboard Technology

I have both the boosted and the M1. I feel these top selling "e" boards serve a different purpose.The boosted board is intended for big city/metro areas. Youtube celebs like Casey Neistat and Sam Sheffer all have and reviewed both boards but both agree that the boosted board is better. I can see why they agree......they live in NY this would make sense as alternative transportation mechanism thats what there looking for, there busy youtubers making content and need to be at point "A"to point "B". Its there alt vehicle...The speed, acceleration, uphill climbing is not top notch and if you need to get anywhere quick and fast then boosted is your choice.HOWEVER, the M1 purpose is more of a hybrid "e" board. The hub motors actually allow you to use this board as a true long board, you can kick push this board and it feels smooth and rides great when not running on the battery, when your going down hills or even straightaway's you can just coast and carve (which to me is the best thing about long boarding).You can kick push the boosted board without some serious kick pushing and you dont get to far, i dont even know why boosted says you can do it, but i have and its a pain in the @#$.The other notable aspect is there are alot of you tube reviews and other reviews that talk about the miss-claim on mileage. I have gotten 8-10 miles a single battery, but i did this buy conserving the electric power and did some free kick pushing, which again is something i want to do in a long board experience, and i was able too as well with the terrain i have where i live.As for the acceleration this is the only shortfall, i have to agree there it creeps you have to kick push to get up to speed, but i am ok with that.The quality build and design is fantastic, get alot of feedback on how nice the board looks. You have easy swappable battery capability, front and back head lights for night riding. A nice carry bag---great work for adding this INBOARD (thumbs up).If your looking to have fun and cruise as well as get to places i would go for the M1 its a great hybrid and i am having a ton of enjoyment on it.Get extra batteries always good to have and you can extend your range +++++.Now my only negative comment and why 4 not 5 is the mobile app....its not good at all and I hope inboard updates the app to be more like the boosted board.+++++++++++++++++++UPDATE+++++++++++++++++++++++OK so i have had the board to close to a year now, and the board is still working and running well, however had an issue with the remote but the customer service team at INBOARD was amazing and shipped me a new one in a few days, and i was back riding. I upgraded my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars- the mobile app is now improved and for the great customer service...at this price its well worth it.

So far this board is truly awesome and fun to ride. It’s easy to get the hang of with the different settings. My only disappointment is that I wish the battery would last longer considering the technology that is out today.Now after only having it for less than 2 months. The extra batter I bought will not take a charge and the warranty for it has already expired. Not satisfactory for such an expensive item.

Easily my favorite purchase I’ve made in a while — smooth acceleration, great top speed, great range, swappable battery, great app, design, carrying case, etc. This was a total home run for me — already used it for my morning commute a few miles away. I think the ability to update the firmware of the motors/board through the app is also a giant plus. Glad I bought this rather than the boosted.

UPDATE: Happy to say my board has been fixed. It is a joy to ride and use, and I highly recommend it. there's nothing quite like cruising down the road on one of these!To supplement my previous review, my issue was that the board started making a strange rustling sound under load, and lost power, especially notable on hills it climbed with ease when new. When returned to me, the power issues were resolved but the noise still happens, so I don't know what to make of it. Since it doesn't detract much(except to make me anxious it's breaking again) I'll stick with the full 5 stars.OLD REVIEW:My review would have been 5 stars had I rated it just after receiving it. It worked well and was an absolute joy to ride for about 2 weeks, but shortly thereafter mine began experiencing issues, and is now unusable. Customer service is still working with me and have so far been very responsive, but I worry about the possible costs of continually repairing a device that already "broke the bank" to purchase. I will update this review as I get more information, but at the moment I would definitely hesitate to recommend it.

This skateboard is amazing!! I watched so many videos and did alot of research before making my decision. This was a perfect choice the board its self is very sturdy but can still turn with ease. If you are thinking of a different board just because its cheaper dont do it spend the extra money for this quality! Again I LOVE THIS BOARD and I know you will too!

I've been using the board for about a month now and am happy with the performance. Sometimes the remote can be a little unpredictable like when I want to turn on/off the lights, sometimes its works and when I click the trigger after taking my thumb off the joystick the board accelerates. Overall happy with the purchase.

Love this board, have two batteries for it and planning on picking up a third and an additional charger. I love the freedom swappable batteries provide, as well as how easy it is to ride this longboard manually. Awesome!

I received my board a couple days ago and so far I'm blown away! This is my first powered board but i have skated for years and this board just feels amazing to ride. I did notice the indicators that show your battery life on the controller aren't really accurate though. I'll update my review if anything changes. Btw this thing handles some serious hills. My neighborhood is very "hilly" and it really handles it well... and with speed. I can't wait for the android app! If you're thinking about getting one so far I would 100% recommend it. I know the price is a little hard to swallow but there is nothing cooler then speeding up a hill by people and them not understanding how (It looks like a typical longboard) Gets them every time haha.
