I absolutely love this board, it’s my first electric longboard and it works great. It’s advertised to go only 16 mph but I can cruise at 20 easily and get close to thirty if I feel like risking my life. My only problem is the lack of gradual breaking which limits how long I can cruise at higher speeds and makes it impossible to go down hills. Still it’s very nice as a beginner boardThis is my second purchase of electric skateboard from this company and I have to say I am loving it. This model is as comparable to the Skatebolt electric skateboard with a slightly more affordable price. Power and thrust is amazing and I never have any issue going any hill. And I have to say the lithium battery life on this board is really impressive. The maple and bamboo wood design is so beautiful and whenever I use it, I always gets praise from others.Have a small issue with the remote control and contacted Alouette. The company is fast to response and I have to say the customer service is top notch. Overall I am very happy with the purchase of this electric skateboard and will highly recommend it to others. As an electric skateboard enthusiast, I will definitely buy again.i have ridden 30 miles already i got it like last week and all i can say about it is great it’s so fun really quick with the acceleration but it takes a little getting used too because it’s really touchy however isn’t a bad thing it’s really just something to keep in mind but this is more of a high quality board i suggest it 10/10update: it’s been about a year now and i just wanna say i love this board it’s really really good but my controller is having issues now… i need help!!So I'm not going to lie, I had a ton of fun on this. The problem is the brakes. When you're traveling at speeds up to 20mph going downhill and the brakes fail, you feel real vulnerable. The only saving grace is that I wasn't relying on the brakes to save me from colliding with a car. When you're going slow, the brakes seem to work... ie, when you don't need them, they work fine. The second you do need them they're nowhere to be found. I'm getting a refund and getting a higher quality board, maybe even the phoenix pro.just got my package, seems good. But they forgot to put a usb charger for the remote control.Will update further info.Nice product, my son is so happy with itThis has been my 12 yr old son's transportation since he received it on Christmas. He rides it to school, the park, friends houses etc. Loves it!My grandson likes this skateboard very much and it is perfect for his skill level. I am very satisfied with this choice.
