I am all about top speeeeddd. I am a total noob at riding any kind of board, but the adrenaline I got from going 37mph on a board was unbelievable. There is something awfully cool about going so fast. The tuck position reminds me of a car putting its spoiler up.
I’ve recently grown to love raw power on acceleration, but I still voted top speed. If the question is fast acceleration with low top speed vs slow acceleration with high top speed, then I love fast, and if I had to have one or the other I’d rather be able to go faster if I wanted to.
Really the best is tons of power, fast acceleration and go fast.
You are right. Btw I saw your video about your Trampa. You could get Elastomere dampaner from E-Toxx Jenso. Then you have no rebound. Mail him about that. Back to topic. I love actually raw power for acceleration.
I like both but end up being a top speed guy because acceleration can be scarier and dangerous.
My boards tend to not work right the majority of the time and hard acceleration + cutoff = streetface. Plus slower acceleration saves battery. Gotta get those full 30 miles out of the pack.
I love the fact my board has both, atleast from my point of view. I need to go fast, ALL THE TIME, but I ain’t gonna wait to get there. If I can’t reach 55+km/h fast enough, then I’ll be taking a turn or having to stop at a light and lost all chances of going fast.
I have my board geared relativity low for lots of low end power.
Im a big guy and personally dont think its a good idea for me to ride above 30MPH. But i like having that off the line acceleration and being ably to cruze at any speed up any hill without even noticing. Obviously you dont want to be too slow but i feel that 30 is enough for me. Stops me doing anything stupid.
Also in Paris on the tight street track having high top speed was useless as you cant use it. Accelerating hard out of corners is what made people quick around the track.
