Anybody got one that they want to sell?  Preferably a decent brand that has been around a while and has a presence in the local market.

 

I see Meepo, Evolve, AceDeck and MB currently for sale locally? And I think Boosted used to be though I can't find any new ones for sale currently? Any other brands worth looking at?

 

Wow, looks like prices have gone a bit crazy on them all... Son is keen for one for xmas so not in a rush but prepared to spend a bit as I'll probably use too; anything to get them off devices all day ;D

All I can say is do your due diligence. 
Some brands have hit the wall (Boosted is one of those) and others do not perform quite as well as advertised. 

Eldest son has a Team Gee electric skateboard which he's had for a few years now - it's been reliable and is pretty quick, too. 

 

Consider things like where it will be ridden, to determine whether you want an off-road capable board. How heavy are the riders likely to be and also how often are they likely to smack the nose of thr board into something if they lose control? How easy is it to get parts or service if something goes wrong? 

 

With all that said...they are a load of fun! If I were buying one now and had an unlimited budget, I'd be getting an Evolve All Terrain board.

Thanks, good to know about the Team Gee board, I'll add to my list!

 

I test rode a few evolve boards a long time ago when they were really pushing into the NZ market.  Wish I'd bought one then as they were like half the price and seemed to have bigger\better sales :D
