However, the battery and ESC enclosure are not integrated into one unit, which may break from the clean lines you see on boards such as the Boosted Mini X (I don't personally care about the battery and ESC design, it looks good regardless IMO). Boosted Board Mini X -Electric Skateboard - Used less than 1 mile. it's my first board and I'm quite inexperienced but it just doesn't mold to the curve of the nose. This review hopefully goes through everything that people were wondering about Ownboard and short e-boards in general. With the widely praised W2, I had pretty high expectations for this board. I haven’t even hit 3rd gear yet and this board is fast! Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. It's ok for the odd puddle etc every now and then but not full on wet. Maybe the more experienced riders (shoutout to Daniel Kwan/Sam Sheffer/Casey Neistat/Talon Sei) might have a differing opinion, but I think it's great.

There has gotta be a way to waterproof it completely. [Best Kids/Beginner ESK8/Expert Trainer], HOW TO Build Custom DIY Electric Skateboard! I've put a small bit of waterproof tape loosely over power switch to protect the button from splashes. You can't change the rear wheels as they are hubs, and this can mean less stability at higher speeds due to less urethane and harder wheel at 83a, not much you can do about that. I will never sell your data. The ESC also has a battery meter that accurately displays the Voltage output and charge capacity on a percentage scale (0-100%). This is due to its pre-programmed Hobbywing ESC. I took a few reviews from their website… “ … I believe that the M1 and W1KT have the same deck, and the nose guards are supposed to fit tight around it. However, you should be able to easily get 20-30% more power later on by swapping out the ESC with VESC, which I prefer anyways. In summary, the wheels work. Being completely honest, I have yet to find a bad review of the Ownboard Mini KT, or any Ownboard for that matter. Ownboard released the M1 recently, one of the first Belt-Driven "budget" boards with substantial specs and competitive pricing. Delivery takes about a month at least to UK, most of europe. As of today I'd buy a meepo but I adore my ownboard mini nontheless :), I’m in Florida so pretty much everything is flat. (Note: The ESC max discharge rate is 24A, Samsung 4.0 is 44A, Samsung 6.0 is 30A, Samsung 40T 8.0Ah is 40A). The board handles like any other shortboard. About the W1S (38”) FOC ESC:The most stable ESC by Hobbykiing for most common electric skateboards with a discharge rate of max. ABEC 11 Flywheels, no blue cags unfortunately), Harder bushings (more stability at high speed), TSG Pass (actually waiting for a restock in my local store). It seems like a decent board, just like the other 1 model ownboards that basically use the same components, Controller wheel isnt as tactile and is more loose and springy so you wont get as much discomfort using it in comparison with other remotes but you wont have the same resistance meaning maintaining a certain speed will be a tad bit harder but not by much. ownboard, wowgo, are especially meepo are legit. For a shortboard, this improves the steering when you lean, and really helps with navigating tight corners without the use of the kick tail.

Next board will definitely be sooner than expected :). Now, in my first ride, I did experience that the Ownboard M1 did not live up to my standards or expectations. In my initial testing, range seems to be awfully good on this mini electric skateboard, the Samsung 40T battery pack is rated for 13-15 miles range and I that’s pretty accurate. The heart of this board isn’t the ESC though but its Samsung 40T 10S2P battery pack. It's not worth it if you slip at 30mph/50kph, even with safety gear. FOC ESC：The most stable ESC in an electric skateboard with water- & shockproof frame.2.4G Wireless Remote：3-speed modes available for different top speeds. For mini electric skateboards like the Ownboard M1, this means lighter weight while still having a lot of power to go up steep hills.

I've riddent through both, the electronics themselves are fine but I would be wary of the deck becoming waterlogged and soggy; water increases the chance of the deck snapping in the future. Ownboard has adhesive backed pads which I prefer.
