Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Even power
There are dual motors on the board, allowing for more even power distribution, especially when turning the board (compared to single motor boards)..
Pro High powered motors
The dual motor setup maxes out at 3000 watts.
Pro Big battery capacity
Goes to distances up to twenty one miles when using the street wheels on the board. This will also be dependent on the riders size, but is a safe estimate.
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).
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.
Pro Impressive top speed
The BajaBoard can go up to 37 MPH. This is faster than most high-end city longboards that top at 20-24 MPH.
Pro Goes anywhere
Obviously doesn't go into water, but it pretty much barges through every other terrain imaginable.
Pro Super responsive controller with a lot of features
You've got the standard power settings, but it even has settings for traction control. The board follows the trigger very quickly, so even though there's a lot of power, you feel like you've got it under control.
Pro Braking is smooth
Brakes are strong but very smooth. You can actually configure the braking strength.
Pro 4-wheel drive
BajaBoard is one of the few four-wheel drive boards on the market. This gives it amazing power and handling on rough terrain, which is the board’s bread and butter.
Cons
Con Overheating issues
When using the GT mode for a longer periods of time (>15min) and really getting the max speed/power out of the board, it might overheat and shut down. It is quite rare though.
Con Not waterproof
Con Quite heavy
The board weighs 55 pounds.
Con Extremely expensive
With a base price of $4,500, it's a real investment. While very few other boards are built for quite the same riding style as the BajaBoard, other top-of-the-line boards come in at less than half the cost.
Con Poor maneuverability
It's difficult to maneuver and turn on the Bajaboard, sharp turns feel uncomfortable and unbalanced. Depends on if you had one of their original G3's or the new G4 or G4X. The new boards feel great. Obviously with the size it doesn't turn as sharply as some of your street boards, but for trail riding, no problems.
Con Not waterproof
It can be affected by water damage.
Con No mobile app
There is no mobile applications for iOS nor Android, which is a massive loss given its price.
Con Bad usability and connectivity of remote
The remote feels hard and uncomfortable, it's not easy to modulate and it's not reliable - it loses connection with the board quite often, potentially causing serious injuries. The latest G4 model however features a new hand controller which is much easier to use and has improved functionality.
