Pros
Pro Charges very quickly
You can charge the board from empty to full in less than an hour.
Pro Easy to learn with beginner mode
It only takes a few minutes with beginner mode to feel comfortable using the board.
Pro Cool LEDs under the deck
There are white LED strips mounted under the deck facing outwards. They look great, especially after sunset.
Pro Very nice app
Acton app packs with a lot of useful features, you can get your battery level, change between 3 modes, see other electric skateboard users near you, and show user rankings.
Pro Relatively inexpensive
The board is $399 to pre-order, which is quite cheap for electric skateboards. As a result, this would most likely make a good starter board for those looking to get into the hobby.
Pro Powerful performance
For a board of its weight and size, it gets pretty impressive power out of the engine. The company claims a max speed of 15 mph.
Cons
Con Short range
It has a range of only 6 miles, which is quite low for an electric skateboard.
Con Bad quality
Several reviewers encountered problems with the belt slipping and breaking constantly, this is caused by the aggressive brakes, and this is caused by the cheap/bad motor controller. Second main issues is the remote random disconnecting.
Con Aggressive brakes
The brake is too aggressive meaning the board may stop too abruptly, potentially throwing the rider off balance.

Con Currently pre-order only
The board is not yet available for purchase, only for pre-order. This makes it difficult to know how good the board is a s no one has actually reviewed it. It also means that the board could wind up as vaporware being that many business that do not yet offer products go under before they actually have them on offer.
