Review: Boosted's top-flight, iPhone-connected Stealth electric skateboard
Summary
Gusty days were no-gos for setting records as my body would turn into a sail, making it tricky to stay balanced at any speed.I managed to transition from Beginner to Hyper in a little over two months, which isnt bad for a novice, if I do say so myself. On YouTube youll find video of people weaving through Chicago and New York City traffic, but thats insane for us mere mortals.As a longboard the Stealth simply cant make sharp turns either. None of this is necessary, given that the board and remote will work out of the box, and you can check battery status with button commands.Getting precise info was appreciated, mind, and recording rides gave a sense for how much progress I was making. For that matter, Onewheel owners with Gemini firmware can make infinite tweaks to board performance, whereas Boosted riders are limited to presets.Boosted additionally provides an Apple Watch app that displays current speed and battery life, but its not as useful as you might think. Itd be wiser to spend extra on a Lacroix or Onewheel+ XR -- which can cover rough terrain -- or buy something cheaper like a Segway miniPro, which may not be as fun but is certainly safer and more practical.Boosted recently revealed that its working on products beyond skateboards.
