A very fast and powerful high-end board. Slightly dated since there's a newer GTX version out.

Pros
Pro It's a very powerful board
It's one of the most powerful e-skateboards out there, with a 3000-Watt dual brush motor that grants a top speed between 25-26 MPH (depending on wheel size) and climbing 25% inclines. Max range of 21 miles is twice what most other boards are capable of. There are very few alternatives with equal or better specs.
Pro One of the best boards for long-distance rides
This is one of the best electric boards you can pick up if you need to travel long distance. It can go farther than nearly any other board out there, with the maximum range of 21 miles in the Street configuration. The 12-mile range for the All-Terrain version is also very impressive. The flexible bamboo deck absorbs the impact from hitting various bumps, so your legs don't feel tired after a long ride.
Pro Fast
With the Evolve GT wheels (included), this board can achieve speeds up to 22mph (36km/h). And if you purchase the ABEC 11 97mm FlyWheels, you can go as fast as 25mph (42km/h).
Cons
Con There are some problems with the controller
The controller, while well-designed and packed with features, isn't the best or the most robust on the market. The trigger is very sensitive, so beginners may have a tough time learning to ride on this board if they decide to try other modes than Slow.
Con It's one of the most expensive boards
Although the performance of this board is superb, it comes with a very steep price tag. In fact, it's one of the priciest boards on the market right now. If you only need a decent board that will make your commute faster and more enjoyable, there are a lot of budget options to consider.
Con Not as convenient to carry around as other boards
Considering the power, range, and speed of the GT 2IN1, it comes as no surprise that it's larger than the average board. If being able to carry your board around is important to you, there are skateboards under 8 lbs in weight and 30 inches in length, such as the Acton Lite v2.
Con There are some issues with overheating
When using the GT mode for longer periods of time (>15min) and really pushing to the max speed, the board might overheat and shut down. It is quite rare though. Here's a reddit thread about this.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Pro Versatile wheels
You can change your normal 83mm wheels for 7" all-terrain tires, which work with the electric motors as well. You can then skate on grass, dirt etc. The 2in1 board comes with both. The process of changing the wheels should not take more than 5 minutes.
