With Boosted’s third generation of boards, the company has taken the deck, truck, and wheel design in-house and custom engineered these critical components from the ground up. The new decks utilize advanced technologies from the world of snowboard manufacturing to achieve greater stability, more responsive turning, and greater vibration absorption, while polymer sidewalls wrap the boards for enhanced durability, and help retain the flex and deep carving capabilities the brand has become known for.
The new custom-designed wheels are optimized for electric skateboarding with a smoother ride and increased carving traction, while the drivetrain has been updated with CNC precision machined trucks to provide increased strength.
There’s a board for every rider; the Mini is a stash-and-go board designed for ultimate portability in mind. At less than 30-inches, this shortboard is perfect for weekend riding and features a kicktail design to help navigate road imperfections. The Mini S has a top speed of 28km/hr and an 11km range, while the Mini X tops out at 32km/hr and boasts a range of 22km.
