The build quality is questionable, and feels like it could break. Why? Well this transitions into the unfinished aspects of the board that defeat the purpose of having an electric skateboard - which is meant to be a means of transportation, most likely on city streets. Instead, I opt for the safer runs at parks. The Blink’s ride can be jarring, because such a small deck moving at high speed is less forgiving than say, a longboard.ĭespite my past experience with both powered and traditional skateboards, I’m reluctant to take the Blink Board out into the city streets. Honestly, I was never a fan of making something accessible if it meant watering it down. Despite the compromises made to keep cost efficiency, the Blink Board skates pretty well once you get it going, but that doesn’t mean it’s not entirely without its shortcomings because of the circumstances. So, $500 gets you a Canadian Maple deck instead of bamboo and a simple plastic remote instead of the safety switch and scroll wheel seen elsewhere. Remember: They’re trying to keep the cost low for a first-gen product. Unlike what the folks at Boosted Board have done with the product of the same name, Acton hasn’t poured more than a thousand dollars into the quality of the product.
