Range & Speed

Range and the speed of the electric skateboard is the most demanding and searching factor. People are curious to find the fastest and long-range electric skateboard to take maximum benefit from the thrilling electric skateboarding. So, you should check the range and speed of the respective electric skateboard. Because it can make or break your whole riding experience. Like if you buy a board that requires 8-12 hours to charge and provide you the range of only 4-6 miles. That would be a very disappointing performance of an electric skateboard and hurt your feelings badly.

So, make sure you choose the board according to your required riding range and speed limit.

Motor

The motor is another considerable factor because it is the heart that produces the thrust to spread the blood into the whole body. Similarly, the motor produces the acceleration which helps the electric skateboard to move. There is a single, dual, or even 4 motors electric skateboard. Choose according to your need.

Battery & Charging Time

The battery is a power supplier to the motor to perform complete work. So you should choose the electric skateboard with the high-performance battery to attain the ultimate skateboarding experience. In addition to this, charging time is a key factor in selecting an electric skateboard. Like we have discussed above that if you choose an electric skateboard that charges the battery at its optimal point in 8-12 hours and provides you only 4-6 miles to ride then you will be frustrated at the end with this pathetic performance. So, be sharp and active while choosing the best electric skateboard.

Weight Bearing Capacity

Should not ignore the electric skateboard’s max weight lifting limit. Otherwise, you will lose your money by choosing the wrong gadget for your skateboarding. Because if, your electric skateboard has low weight-bearing capacity compared to your weight, it might miss its optimal performance. The speed and range might drop significantly. So, consider this factor too.  

Terrain

You should be familiar with your riding style and your terrain where you want to ride your electric skateboard. It is important because regular electric skateboards do not perform better in rough or off-road terrain. To ride on these rough/uneven terrains you have to choose the specialist and the best off-road electric skateboard. These electric skateboards are equipped with modified or thick tires, motor, battery, suspensions, and many more additional features to conquer the off-road terrain. 

Budget

Finally, the budget is the most important factor that allows you to buy a cheap, moderate, or advanced level of an electric skateboard. So you should check what your budget is and what are the most appropriate and top quality options are available. After that start considering the other factors too.
