Acton Blink S2 vs Segway miniPRO

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.

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).

Users can easily get the advertised range of 14 miles on relatively flat ground.

The board, through the application, alerts the user if it detects that the user is riding the board too fast. If this is the case, the force brake feature will decelerate the board and eventually stop once it reaches the speed limit of 10mph. The board also has highly sensitive sensors that detect unsafe riding techniques, such as too much twists and turns, unstable riding positions, and insignificant movements from the rider. Its wheels are installed with refined tread which tightens the grip and lessens chances of skidding.

Even at higher speeds, the board is smooth and responsive. It could be stopped immediately at will. It responds even to slight body movements which allows the user to navigate even at crowded places.

The miniPRO is one of the most road adaptive boards in the market. It can handle steep slopes (up to 15 degrees) and different road conditions such as rocky, bumpy, or slippery roads. It rides smooth, especially on bumpy and rocky roads, because of its shock-absorbent wheels. The air-filled tires are larger than those of the other boards, thus, making it more able to handle shock and various sorts of terrain.

Through the application, the user can see the status of the board real time. It shows the remaining battery life and the speed that it's currently running. The user can also view the directions that the board is taking, and the current temperature of the board to avoid overheating.

Through the remote control feature in the app, you can control the board even without riding it. You can use the joystick feature to move the board even when it is riderless, providing more convenience and added value to the user.

The board has an anti-theft security feature through the app. You can lock the device through the app and if anyone tries to move the device while locked, the app will notify the user through vibrations, while the board will sound an alarm and tip over.

The board requires the user to be adept in using the board, thus the app having a riding tutorial feature. Everyone with a miniPRO is required to walk through the tutorial before they can fully enjoy the board. If you do not finish the tutorial, the board will beep non-stop until you have completed the walk-through process.

The miniPRO is the only board in the market with an adjustable and cushioned knee steering bar. Through the bar, the board is more stable and easier to maneuver. You can easily lock your knees on the bar and lean slightly towards the direction that you intend to go, and the board will respond. It does not require the foot-pivot steering which is common among all the other boards in the market. Also, the steering bar is adjustable, making it more suitable for people of various heights.

The Segway miniPRO, through the app, allows you to customize the LED lights (both head and taillights), which allows better visibility for the user. You can choose between 16 million different colors.
