Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Hub-motor
Pro Different ride modes
Pro Swappable batteries
Pro Very very quiet
Because of the hub motors, the board is very quiet.
Pro Remote control usability
Pro Fits on most boards
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 The added weight (15lbs)
You won't get any real performance out of anything that weighs less, but its quite hefty.
Con Not released
There are no hands on for this powered attachment, as it is not released yet and is only a Kickstarter currently.
Con Smaller air travel permitted battery
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.
