Looks mint. Should be tkp tho.

This looks so sweet

Pretty good deal really. Carbon deck, CNC 7075 trucks, P45B cells, $999. Personally I love the design, the integrated kicktail is awesome. 42km/h is not fast enough though for a stiff carbon RKP board…
i donmt think speed is the point of this board
just cause it’s a stiff carbon dun mean it needs to be fast

With the specs, TKP would make more sense.
Otherwise sweet package though.
Larger wheels would give higher top speed.
What’s the logic behind TKP over RKP?

This is only if assuming the same gear ratio and power level.
RKP is more stable at high speed, and turns better the faster you go. TKP is more cruise-y IMO.

Tkp feels better suited to boards on the lower end of the top speed spectrum in my opinion. It feels looser, lets you turn harder, more nimble and just much more playful in general.
I’ve built out several tkp boards and they’ve all been loads of fun. Not to say they can’t go fast tho, my semendeed went very close to 70kph on the savage tkps with no stability issues.
I’ve got mad love for tkps, and this board being a lightweight, last mile commuter, tkp seems like a much better choice to me.

I’d think a set of 105’s would get you over 30 with this board on the current gearing and it should have enough power to do it.
Interesting, admittedly I’ve not tried many TKPs (just the Meepo and Onsra ones) but would argue that they feel less turney and agile than my RKP setups (most of my time is spent on the Exway Trists and Paris v3s). They also seemed to have a significantly larger turning circle in comparison.
Though after having test ridden the parsec a while back the tall bushings it utilises means you can get quite a deep lean and hence a fairly small turning circle making it feel pretty agile when paired with the short wheelbase.

Searching the web it seems opinions are mixed about the differences between trucks, probably because so many factors come into play: Board geometry, rider physiology, riding style, bushings, subjective preferences, etc. My easiest turning board is a traditional long board, (not electric), I built with RKP.

What happens when you ride this in a thunderstorm?
When it comes to TKP vs RKP, both can work really well. It really depends on how well the design is executed. This board is going to have a pretty short wheelbase so even not that carvy RKPs may do ok. I am interested in trying these trucks.
High speeds might be a bit rough on the 1P battery and 40A esc.
It’s definitely a last mile esk8 and impressively light with the whole thing weighing less than both the battery or everything else on mine respectively.
Is there a market for a stiff and stable light last mile commuter is that something that makes sense?

not without this:
It seems like a Socal-only commuter.

How many commuter boards warranty against water damage? How many boards of any type warranty against water damage?
I don’t know, I had to make my own. People throw around the word “commuter” pretty loosely. I can’t just not go to work because it’s raining. This can be done, people just don’t want to.
This is a good start though, and appears on the surface to be way better then the hoards of ridiculously-heavy boards typically on offer. 
I’ve been riding my Exway Atlas in rain, snow, and mud for years, I don’t think they claim it’s waterproof. I’ve also ridden my Shark Wheel, (Teamgee H9 clone), in the rain a number of times. Any reasonably well sealed board should be able to handle rain but because someone will probably ride it through stream at some point, (who, me?) they won’t say it’s “waterproof”.
At least most won’t, I do remember one company said you could ride underwater. They are no longer in business.

To be fair, I have accidentally ridden boards underwater before. Key word here: accidentally (they survived)
Although that is the edge case. I’m more talking about normal commuting, which includes water.
