Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro It's an affordable and reliable board for regular use
While riding this board isn't as exciting as the high-speed models like Boosted or M1, and not as fun as OneWheel, it is 2-3 times cheaper than those boards and offers reliable and speedy transportation. The E-GO 2 beats the vast majority of mid-level boards and even some premium options with its 18-mile range. It's sturdy and reliable, making it a good option for longer commutes.
Pro Easily available
Unlike the majority of boards that are available only from the producers and are often delivered weeks after the order, you can pick up the E-GO 2 in your local Best Buy, Walmart, or get one on Amazon.
Pro Good warranty
There is a 6-month warranty on parts and labor for the E-Go 2, which protects the user if anything breaks within that timeframe.
Pro Great to ride at night
Front headlight, rear tail light, and side lights result in a much better night riding experience than most other boards. Not only can you better see the road in front of you, but you're also more visible to people driving cars, riding bikes, etc.
Pro It's a well-rounded board for everyday use
At $999, it's one of the best dual-motor electric skateboard options on the market. Both the speed and max range are above what you'd expect from a mid-level board. The charging time is quite fast considering the range. Also, the board comes equipped with embedded lights, which not that many alternatives have (especially right out of the box).
Pro Good range
Users can easily get the advertised range of 14 miles on relatively flat ground.
Pro Higher than advertised speed
Cons
Con Underwhelming compared to more expensive boards
If you're looking for high speeds or a lot of power to climb steep inclines an go off-road, the E-GO 2 isn't the best board for you. It's a reliable working horse, but riding it isn't very exciting. You'd be better off picking up, for example, Boosted or Evolve board in such case.
Con Not the best built quality
Low-quality product, not worth the money.
Con Cheap remote
Remote could be better quality for the price. The design isn't very convenient as well, and it doesn't display any useful info, such as the battery level.
Con It's not the most portable option
This board weighs 15 pounds, slightly more than an average electric longboard. It's pretty reasonable, considering the decent 14-mile range the Blink S2 offers, but still makes it less convenient to carry around, especially combined with the fact that it doesn't have any sort of handles for picking up/holding.
Con High price
Con Underperforms compared to premium boards
If you're a pro looking for an exciting ride, this may not be the best option for you. If you're ready to pay more, there are premium boards like Inboard M1 and Evolve GTX that are made for fast riding.
Con Side lights cannot be turned off
Sometimes you don't want to look like a Christmas tree.
