Just got one. Love it. Meepo V3. Its a downhill board, but with a free ride uphill over and over! $379
Boosted and Inboard are dead, but the new gen of upstarts outperforms those at less than half the price anyway.
Anyone ride them? |

| that's a decent price. I wonder if anyone has put the guts on a real skateboard with a tail? In stock condition, these seem more like a motorized furniture dolly than a skateboard and the typical rider of these can suck a dick. |

They’re like 90% downhill or longboard or whatever decks. College dildos. Now they do 10x30s with tails too.
I’m about to swap guts onto a 36” Madrid.
They also have one-piece kits that bolt up as a rear truck. Sounds like some toy bullshit but these things have tons of power now.

I always figure I’ll get one when I’m 50.
In the land of endless suburban sidewalks I think it would be so cool to go for an hour without putting your feet down.
I wish they had a laser warning system for cracks and rocks so you could space out more. Maybe a compressed air rock ejector on the front wheels, synched with the lasers.
Somebody made a mind control one a few years back. |

| The bigger wheels help with that. 90-100mm are the smallest, with bigger rubber or even pneumatic tires up to 10" and in pretty much any size in between. |

That's a good board. Same power & guts as the V3. Normal truck mounting.
It all swaps easy, the only complication is the power wire running from the bigger box to the smaller box.
From the factory it's laying in a shallow routed channel on the topside all fancy, but you can just run it on the underside. It would be protected by the boxes projecting out/down. Or route a similar channel on the topside of the new deck.
These guys use hub motors, which allows you to "freewheel" or just push, unlike belt drives which drag the board down when not in use. Hubs are also essentially silent unlike belts. |
