Boosted the
makers of Boosted Board has just announced the second generation of its popular
electric skateboard. The new version looks exactly the same as the original,
but it now offers swappable batteries and longer-range options, better
Bluetooth connection with the remote, and a water-resistant build. Pre-orders
are open now, and the first units will start shipping to almost 20 different
countries in eight weeks.
When the company
first launched their electric skateboard back in 2014 they started selling
three different versions of the Boosted Boards with each varied at a different
price that offer different combinations of electric motors range and top speed.
The
company is keeping true to that original strategy has they offer the
second-generation board, and the pricing structure also remains the same. The
new Boosted Single (which has just one electric motor) will still cost $999,
the Dual (two motors) again runs $1,299, and the Dual+ (two ultra-powerful
motors) comes with the same price tag of $1,499. The first-generation versions
of the Boosted board will be discontinued.
The most
important change in the second-generation board is the battery that powers Boosted’s
boards will be interchangeable, and the company will also sell "extended
range" batteries. For $100 more, buyers of any version of the Boosted
Board can get a beefier, 199WH battery that effectively doubles the board's
range. (The Boosted Single can last up to 14 miles with the extended-range
battery, and the Dual and Dual+ top out at 12.) Boosted will also start selling
these batteries separately — the standard 99WH version will cost $299, and the
extended-range version will run $399.
Boosted second-generation
took what was already a clear category-leading product and effectively make it
even better. It was really hard to find major problems with the company's first
generation boards, and the new version addresses all the little inconveniences
like range, lack of water-resistance, and the somewhat-sketchy Bluetooth connection.
