Pros
Pro Convenience of using almost any deck you like
It can be used with 90% skateboard decks on the market. Meaning that you can use a pre-existing deck as well as purchase any that are to your liking. Basically, you have the ability to build a perfect electric skateboard for yourself with very little effort.
Pro Good protection against elements
Very good protection against water and dust as it is IP 65 rated. While any motor and board will need to be cleaned in order to keep it in prime operating condition, the International Protection Marking code allows for some protection against dust, grime, and water for the mechanical parts of the device.
Pro Good warranty
There is a 1-year warranty on the device from the manufacturer. It provides coverage twice longer than the majority of e-board producers.
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 Only 400 W of power per wheel
Not a very powerful motor.
Con Not waterproof
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.
