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 Good value for the money
While this board doesn't have the longest range or the most powerful motors, it keeps up really well with the competition while costing less. The main specs: top speed of 20 MPH, max range of 12 miles, and incline climbing of 15% are all around the industry average. At the same time, the price for the Magneto Revolution is about $200-400 lower than for the majority of electric longboards.
Pro The deck is very durable without being stiff
The material used for the deck of this board is a composite of carbon fiber and Canadian maple. It's very durable, yet it retains some of the flex that traditional wooden decks have that many riders prefer over stiff carbon decks.
Pro You can order a test drive
If you want to test the board before you commit to buying it, for $50 you can order a test drive. They will send you the board, you can try it out and send it back after a week. If you decide to buy the board, the $50 you already paid will be counted towards the purchase price.
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 It comes with a UK plug
If you live outside of the UK you'll need a power adapter to charge this board.
Con Not suited for off-road rides
This isn't the board you'd want to take for riding outside the city. It has a 1400W dual motor and 90mm wheels that are perfectly sufficient for asphalt but won't get you far on a more rough terrain.
