Metroboard “Slim” - $750 SHIPPED (Contiguous US) SOLD
This one actually makes me really sad to sell. This was my first “serious” esk8 after my TeamGee H5 got me hooked in the summer of 2019. I have a lot of miles on this bad boy. Its a tank and it will go forever. Its not the fastest ride, and its not the coolest ride, but I would trust this thing to take me cross-country more than I would trust some of the cars I have owned.
Speaking of cross-country, it has the “55 mile” battery. I have never rode more than 20 miles in one sitting, but even riding full throttle/full brake everywhere I go I still have 45% battery left when I get home. Riding all out like I do you can definitely get 30 miles out of this bad boy.
Has a Bluetooth module and is programmable with the ackmaniac app. Also good for checking battery level, not that you will ever need it. Charge it to full and this board will last longer than you will.
Single motor, so the acceleration/brakes are not going to rustle any jimmies in this crowd 25mph top speed on ABEC 107’s.
It’s got the 2 watt lights that are mostly there so you don’t get hit, but do provide some light on the road. Controllable with the wheel on the remote.
If weight is not too big a factor for you, this board would get you to and from work every day, no sweat. I commuted daily with this champ for 4 months until Portland rain forced me to get something than could handle the wet.
Honestly I have never opened it up. I subscribe strongly to the “dont fuck with a working board” philosophy championed by @b264, and this board has never broken down to give me a reason to open it up.
Im pretty sure I know what im gonna see on the inside though. Single 4.12 or 4.20 ESC, 10s5p (or 6p?) LG MH1 battery, Mini Remote receiver, some sort of light control module, and thats about it.
I have been very tempted, dont get me wrong haha. But this thing is a workhorse and it feels wrong to do anything to mess with it when it is probably going to outlive me
If anyone wants an opinion from someone who isn’t selling this or profiting from the sale in any way, let me be on the record saying that these are some of the best prebuilt boards you can buy. They may not be the prettiest boards, but you’ll be skating long after your buddy’s board has broken down a couple times. You’ll also be skating long after their battery died. These prebuilts blow away an Evolve or Ownboard. They’re the shit.
