hey everybody this is Sean with The Verge and this is the actin blink board now it's different about this board from other Electric skateboards is obviously the size this thing is much smaller lot closer to the size of a traditional skateboard normally we see longboard style Electric skateboards but this thing is much more maneuverable and much lighter it only weighs 9 pounds which means it's really easy to carry around the specs are pretty similar to a lot of other electric long boards that were used to sink top speed of about 15 miles an hour 6 mile range and it'll take a little over an hour for you to recharge the whole thing once it runs out of battery 215 miles an hour might not equal some of the other Electric skateboards that are out there but on a board this small with wheels this wide it is plenty of speed I've just been riding around here in Midtown and even there even on the slow mode it feels fast enough but on the faster motor you get up near that 50 miles an hour it is plenty of speed on something this small now the other great thing about the blink board that I haven't even mentioned yet is the price it only costs $4.99 which is half maybe even a third of what other Electric skateboards cost right now and that's a huge deal it makes this thing almost seem pretty affordable if you do want to order it you can go to their website right now they're already shipping them out to customers you might have to wait a little bit but they are in production it's exciting to see a lot of different electric skateboard companies these days but it's a breath of fresh air to see something that actually looks a lot different and it has a lot of personality you got lights that lined the board a ton of color on the inside of the deck these bright green wheels so this thing stands out from the crowd in a lot of ways the price the weight and just the look of the thing so hopefully this is a sign of the future of electric skateboards to come for more electric rider bowls and everything else make sure you go to the gorge calm and head to youtube.com slash the virgin cliff subscribe
