A Beginner’s Guide to the Best Electric Skateboards of 2022
1. Why do you need an electric skateboard
First of all, electric skateboard is very cool. As a new type of transportation, as an
ordinary consumer, you can use it to travel on campus. Short commute, outdoor play,
electric skateboard will bring you different fun. Professional players can use it to go off-
road and competitions, and tap the extreme performance of electric skateboards. Note:
But for your safety, we do not recommend using electric skateboards in very complicated
urban road conditions, especially beginners
2. Is it difficult to learn electric skateboards?
Compared with traditional skateboards, electric skateboards are easier to learn. You don’t
need to go up and down frequently, just control your body balanced on the skateboard.
The acceleration and braking of the electric skateboard are all operated by the controller,
which is very simple. You can easily use the electric skateboard for a short time of
learning.
Three, how to choose an electric skateboard
1. Electric skateboard type
At present, electric skateboards are mainly divided into ordinary urban commuting and
professional outdoor sports skateboards. The two are very different in the material of the
board, wheels, motors, etc., and the price will also be very different. This post serves as
an introductory guide for electric skateboards. We will not discuss it yet. I will post a
separate post to explain it, so stay tuned.
2. Price and purchase advice of electric skateboards
Usually, entry-level electric skateboards are around 500usd, while professional high-end
off-road skateboards cost up to 3000usd. It is recommended that ordinary users and
beginners choose entry-level electric skateboards around 500usd.
3. The battery life, speed and load-bearing capacity of electric skateboards
As with all-electric vehicles, the first thing we should pay attention to is the speed and
battery life. The top speed of an excellent entry-level electric skateboard can reach 40km/h, and there are usually three speeds to choose from. Choose the gear according to your
proficiency. The endurance is about 25km, and the maximum load-bearing capacity is
110kg. You can refer to these data when you buy it.
Fourth, beginners must pay attention to the use of electric skateboards
1. Bring a helmet and protective gear
Needless to say, for your safety, you must do this
2. Be slow when you just start learning! slow! slow!
On general roads, the speed should not exceed 20km/h. Below this speed, whether it is a
springboard or a sudden fall, there is still a certain reaction time, and the impact of the
impact will not be too great. If the novice glides higher than this speed, it is easy to sway
or lose balance due to lack of skills, and once an accident occurs, the damage will be
much greater.
3. Some humble but dangerous things on the road Sewer facilities: the most common road threat. Including various manhole covers and
sewer covers. The main dangers are as follows:
The first point is that the surface of the manhole cover has protruding lines, which is very
short. Bicycles and cars can completely ignore it, but for the small wheels of the
skateboard, it is already quite high. In addition, some manhole covers are sunken and
crushed. The manhole cover is equivalent to running over one or two vertical ridges in
succession. It is still very dangerous for players who are new to electric skating. If the
speed is too fast, it is possible to lose balance after passing the manhole cover, and the
board swings from side to side. , Even the skateboard gets stuck, causing people to be
thrown away.
The second point is that the polyurethane tires of skateboards are easy to slip on wet
surfaces, especially metal surfaces. Therefore, in rainy weather, the manhole cover after a
sprinkler may pass by is a death trap, so you must be careful. Under normal
circumstances, if you find that the speed of the manhole cover is not fast, or you cannot
avoid the manhole cover and can only run over, you need to release the throttle, relax
your body, and bend your knees slightly to ensure that your center of gravity is in the
center of your body when you run over the manhole cover (more A good way is to place
the center of gravity on the back of the skateboard when the front wheel passes over the
manhole cover, and then immediately switch the center of gravity to the front center.) This
is the least likely to lose balance.
3. White line on the road
That is, the indicator lines are drawn on the road to separate the non-motorized and
motorized lanes. These lines are painted with paint. The surface is very smooth and the
friction is much lower than the normal road surface. The newly drawn white lines are
especially obvious, and the skateboard The polyurethane wheels themselves are not as
good as rubber tires. If they slip to the white line, they are very prone to skidding.
Conclusion: Electric skateboards are different from bicycles, electric vehicles, and even
scooters, and other transportation tools. It is very stupid to apply the experience of using
traditional vehicles to electric skateboards. In addition, the danger of electric skateboards
is also incapable of other transportation tools. And, therefore, before you are familiar with
the characteristics of electric skateboards, no element on the road should be
underestimated
