I usually start cursing at myself if I let my speed drop below 30mph on good pavement lol
22mph … 2 miles… basic hills on tarmac smooth surface

the main use my boards see is commuting. So city riding around Jersey City/Hoboken/NYC and then some Westside highway bike path. Besides my short deck and small wheel zenit build, I probably average about a 22 to 25 mph moving average as well. My Lacroix’s are probably the top of that 25 and my TKP boards are probably in the 22/23 range. My Zenit small wheel board is probably around 20-22. My short pool deck I probably only go up to 16mph on and average around 10mph - I’m still pretty scared of that thing.
20-25 mph on pavement
15-20 mph during light off-roading(packed dirt, small gravel, grass)
2-7 mph on technical mountain bike single-track(large rocks, tree roots, loose dirt, steep climbs and descents)
This in on my MBS Comp 95 with Matrix II’s and 8 inch pneumatics. My top speed is 33 mph, and when riding I cruise at full speed most of the time. I guess slowing down for stop signs really drags down that average speed.
yeah, I’m not big on fast braking either. So if there’s a red light ahead, I’d let go of the throttle a bit in advance and roll to the stop
Riding alone:
- 25-27 km/h (throttle is almost always flatted to ground)
- Empty country road
- Fun ride
- PU, 83mm
Riding with bro:
- 20 km/h (his board is significantly slower)
- The same, empty road
- Fun ride
- PU, 83mm
Warming up for Bakersfield on pneumatics:
Long distance ride including a lot of shitty streets and grooved concrete bridge on foamies:
That is awesome. It makes me happy to see these Century 40s averaging higher speeds than most boards on the market ever see. It’s downright depressing if I don’t hit 30 on every ride.
This is pretty typical for me just tearing around in my neighborhood doing a full discharge to blow off steam. Recorded this in Map My Ride trying to determine range from 100 to 0, but I made a point to just ride like I always do. Never mind that 39mph spike, my flipsky never said I went over 27.
What trail are you riding around for that distance and average speed?
Brilliant.
The 44 mile ride was a mixture of city streets and bike paths
80mm pu kegles
12mph weaving around people City center pavements
18mph on good flat roads
I cap out of continues max speed at 22 but I get scared peek higher ocasonaly but drop back down parity quick. I had to compromise on acceleration to get over 18mph
I don’t understand how 12-36 on 80mm wheels dule 40amp motor settings feels week to me so how can people boast of 40mph and good acceleration?
Ordered some 6396 building a new more powerful board to see if it’s my board or just me.
