The electric skateboard that moves like a snowboard (Summerboard review)

Рет қаралды 697,787

Күн бұрын

The Summerboard SBX is unlike any other electric skateboard. It has two motorized caster wheels underneath that allow you to shred the streets as if you were snowboarding. CNET’s Logan Moy spent a few weeks learning to ride so he could figure out who the Summerboard is for.

Stop promoting this bs, they ripped off freebords by just adding a motor. Why they keep changing their name over the years.

@@Red1676 is that not what happened for skateboarding and then electric skateboarding? then again for freeboards and electric. Not arguing at all that aaron did not rip off the bindings shamelessly and other details. Only that that is exactly what happened with skateboarding and nobody cares. Freebord mfg does not care about the electric boards, those people left when the company went under.

@crashalarm3283 2 жыл бұрын

A snowboard I bought a year old model board, bindings, and boots once since I finished growing at a swap meet for over half off. I buy a season pass in advance, since there’s no guarantee of good snow. I pay $300 for an unlimited early bird pass. Me and the homies rent a motel room for $30 a night, like $6 a person. Gas isn’t too bad either since I live close enough like 2 hours with traffic from my home resort. There’s also shuttles that run every weekend from my city. So snow sports don’t have to be cost prohibitive if you really budget it out and want to do it!

Agreed, the Onewheel XR is the best in terms of versatility. You can go on gravel, packed sand, grass, etc...

I just learned summerboard and it is really fun. I think the key to learning it is to ride it like a ripstik, balancing on the center wheels. Once you get used to that, the other skills like turning and sliding become much easier. It’s expensive but if you want an electric snowboard that you can ride anywhere, this is it. If you want a lower cost version , check out freebord which rides similarly but has no motor so you need to ride it downhill.
