The Boosted Board has a very appealing design with bright colors. It looks very similar to a regular longboard, so it doesn't draw too much unwanted attention.

The board can be charged from empty to full in as little as 30 minutes. This makes charging time shorter than riding time if you’re using Eco mode.
