How fast will the boards go? How far do the boards go on a single charge? How do they work? How much do they cost? What kind of surfaces can I ride them on? Do they have brakes? Can they go up hill? What are the board's maximum weight capacity? Does the Electric Skateboard have a Cruise Control? What is the minimum age? Range and Performance Warranty Liability Waver and Release: How fast will the boards go? It depends on the model, but about 36km/h is the approximate top speed. How far do the boards go on a single charge? Up to 24.85km, depending on the model. Be aware that the batteries will need to be charged / drained / re-charged a few times before they reach their maximum capacity. How do they work? The wireless electric skateboard board is powered by a either a 24V or 36V electric motor using lead acid sealed batteries as the energy source. The boards are controlled by a handheld wireless controller that offers a variable throttle and regenerative braking. You simply stand on the board and pull the trigger to accelerate, and push the trigger forward to brake. The torque is strong at full throttle, but using a feather touch on the trigger allows the rider to apply only a small amount of power. It's relatively simple to "roll the board along" at very low speeds. Pushing forward on the controller’s trigger applies resistance to the skateboard's motor, providing an effective braking system. The board can be controlled effectively down most hills with the braking system. The braking system does not bring the board to a total stop, but the resistance applied works well on a skateboard, giving you the most control possible. You can go down a hill with ease, whereas on the same hill with a "regular" longboard you could lose control. Or you can do big slalom turns at either fast or slow speeds, and you can speed up or slow down as required. With these electric skateboards, you have hands free operation so there's no tether to get tangled up in. How much do they cost? Current models range from £99 and up to £350 for our Big Foot Model.

Riding on anything else will result in damage to the electronics and require repair. All Terrain Bigfoot: Fitted with a heavy duty drive train (similar to the cam belt on a car), alloy wheels and extra wide adjustable torsion trucks to increase wheelbase. These features will allow you to ride your Bigfoot with ease over most terrains including, bumps, sticks and stones that would simply stall other boards. Do they have brakes? Yes. It's called regenerative braking - or Motor braking. Pushing forward on the remote's trigger applies resistance to the skateboard's motor providing an effective braking system. Can they go up hill? Yes, it will climb a fairly steep hill, if you can hold on. It's best to traverse up hills, since this reduces the grade and stress on the motor and increases the fun - carving up the hill! What are the board's maximum weight capacity? Up to 100kg, depending on the model. Does the Electric Skateboard have a Cruise Control? Yes :-) What is the minimum age? We would suggest that no one under the age of 12 rides the Electric Skateboards – unless with adult supervision. Please note: It is not legal to ride an electric skateboard on the public highway in the UK. We advise the wearing of appropriate safety equipment including a suitable crash helmet. Range and Speed: The stated range and speed of each Electric Skateboard is derived from our own experience and not what the manufacturer states. Our stated performance is based on using the skateboard on a dry flat tarmac surface by a rider of about 70kg (35kg for the street) and not all in one run. In the range examples given, we rode the skateboards for distances of about 1-2 miles at a time resembling their designed use and not letting the motors over heat. The ranges were recorded on a Garmin GPS for accuracy.  The range and performance you achieve on your skateboard will vary according to your riding style, surface conditions, terrain and condition of the batteries and their charge. Limited Warranty: Eight Ball Electric Skateboards warranty is a Limited Warranty: Due to the nature of the sports, all of our Electric 8 Ball Skateboards come with a 100 day limited warranty which covers materials and manufacturing only and specifically excludes any and all accidental damage or damage due to rider error, impacts, abrasion, overloading, towing or other misuse whatsoever on any account.
