ESK8 High Speed Registry
I believe we need a place to collect high speed records into one place for reference and pay respect to those who have pushed the limits of the sport.
This is a high speed esk8 registry. I will initially update list to best of my knowledge. If you’d like to add your name or information to the list please add a comment with telemetry proof and I will add you to the list.

Jack Farah @HAIRYMANJACK 70mph (112.65 km/h) from 9/27/2025
Three for one deal.

@gtonthat with the 57.3mph (92.22 km/h
@Ruxx with 55.6mph (89.48 km/h)
@DINA_KATCH with 48.4mph (77.89 km/h)
You kids go so fast!!!
As someone pointed out on Electric Skateboard Club Facebook group, downhill longboard got 91mph in 2017. It’s interesting to me that analog boards have achieved such high speeds while we have high power boards but haven’t got high speeds yet. It seems like a whole genre of esk8 that hasn’t really been explored or unlocked to go super fast on an electric board yet. Part of my goal here is to see if anyone has bridged the gap between Raine (82.25mph) and Jack (70mph).
The downhill dudes are so insane.
I always wonder the level of fitness needed to maintain a tuck and control for so long at such crazy speeds.
I worked out long ago how the down hillers go so fast, and it is similar to how engineers build those big tall skyscrapers that exist in the more populated counties.
What it is, is that they have very heavy testicles that operate as a tuned mass damper when at high speed.
The best we could do is probably place two cans of red bull into a a small potato sack and suspend it in the groin area unimpeded from free swing.
My only issue with the idea of this registry is how are we classifying electric longboards? Your early record holder was NextBoard back in 2016. They hit 60mph on something that has the form factor of a longboard. Raith also accomplished a high MPH on a board I would consider to have the form factor of a traditional longboard. My issue with this whole thing with all due respect to the amazing engineering people like Moe are doing, is at what point is it no longer an electric longboard?
The boards people are racing with now with giant tires and other stuff are really more representative of mountainboards meant for street purposes. I’ve seen people here locally in Colorado hit over 60mph on boards, but they’re using steering dampers and other things to compensate for the high speed. Hell if I wanted to just stick a board on top of a car chassis and stand on it and run it to 150mph I’d have the new world record with the way that we’re classifying things now.
I’m all for tracking speeds but lets have an open discussion on what an electric longboard “actually is” before we put everything with a deck and 4 wheels into a broad category called “electric longboards,” and rate them against each other.
As long as it’s lean to steer and it has 4 wheels, it’s an esk8 in my book.
I appreciate the discussion and I invite others to participate as well. I believe every sport is going to have its progression and the board that’s ridden will continue to evolve and won’t stay the same.
My take is 4 wheels with motors and a battery that you stand on is an esk8 
(and two wheel speed-boards don’t fit that description much as they want it to). My aim is to not take away from anyone’s prior efforts but to give them a place to be recognized centrally. So in 10 years we can look back and see individuals speeds in one location. For example before today creating this I didn’t realize Ruxx and Gialong were both in the 60 mph range. And I hope to collect data from people I didn’t necessarily know of previously.
Maybe a column with board description is needed. But when I built the table it wouldn’t let me add another column to use for board info.
My max is 78.4 kph (48.7 mph). Board is Project Edgame, V2. More to come next year after a bunch more upgrades
Though worth noting this was on a straight of 100m. Not really pushing the board outside of short track racing.
Great classification! But seriously i think you are the first person here to bring the term “electric longboard”?
The term “esk8” is much more fitting.
Fuck gatekeeping. The sport is niche enough as it is
