![]() The motorized method although much faster adds some stress to my day, especially when I'm tired and don't want to deal with people trying to kill me. The subway, bus, and walk combo takes me 1 hr and 15 mins roughly, and the bicycle takes me 45 minutes at a somewhat relaxing pace. I normally ride a motorcycle or scooter to work as I live a mile from the subway, and it's the fastest way to get around NYC, takes me 30 minutes to go 9 miles, door to door. In the meantime I could get some electric skating miles on my belt before the Bamboo GT arrives and shorten my commute. I debated for a week whether I wanted to take a chance on a brand new, and un-reviewed product, but figured at $350 (on sale through eBay), I could take a chance, return it if I was really unhappy, or sell it. In came the announcement of the Blink Lite, which on paper seemed perfect for my needs. I had read about the Acton Blink board, predominantly it's issues with abrupt braking, fraying wires, and controllers getting stuck, and for $500, I didn't want to deal with those issues. I wanted something small and light to complement the Evolve. I was excited and still am at the prospect in riding that beast to work (9 miles each way), but the thought of carrying a 17 lb board around if I wanted to hang out, take the subway, or run some errands seemed less than ideal. A few days later, the Bamboo GT came out and I jumped on it immediately! Top speed wasn't as important for me, as well as the super carve trucks since this would mostly be for commuting in NYC. ![]() The carbon seemed too stiff and delicate (in that I would be bothered by scratches), but the board's specs looked exactly like what I was looking for, especially the range and AT wheels. I at first jumped on the Boosted pre-order because I wanted to hold a spot in line while I researched, but soon came across the Evolve GT line. After being convinced by Casey Neistat's blog that I had to have a electric longboard, I watched video after video in search of the perfect board for my needs. ![]() Max speed is just 10 mph (16 km/h), max range 5 miles (8 km), max rider’s weight 180 lbs (81.5 kg) – this is a compromise performance that you will experience if choose the Blink Lite V2 electric skateboard.Hi guys, some background, I have never owned a electric skateboard, and have not ridden one before, although I have and ride rather infrequently, two longboards. – The maximum speed, range and rider’s weight are on the low end of the e-boards available on the market The maximum inclination rate is 8 %, so there could be hills in your city that cannot be ridden up the ride can be very unpleasant or not possible at all.
