REVIEW – I’ve tested quite a few electric skateboards here at The Gadgeteer, and it’s been a blast re-learning my high school longboard skills again while cruising around town. For short rides I’ve really been loving the Uditer Pixel Mini skateboard, but we have some great longer trails near us that I’ve been itching to […]

REVIEW – Have you ever been sitting in front of a screen and daydreamed that you could ride it? I’ve reviewed a variety of electric skateboards (which has been a blast after nearly 2 decades since my last skateboarding adventures in high school), but I’ve never even seen one with a giant LED screen on

REVIEW – A short time ago, I reviewed the Meepo Hurricane Bamboo electric longboard and loved it. Being a tall guy, the length and weight of it made me feel confident on it. Apparently, Meepo liked what they saw and offered up their V3 Max for review, and I gladly accepted. My youngest son loves

REVIEW – I can’t let Matt Gregersen have all the fun with all the electric modes of transport we get to review here at The Gadgeteer. I have reviewed a few E-bikes and an electric skateboard, but I couldn’t keep living vicariously through my fellow Gadgeteer. So, when the Meepo Hurricane Bamboo all-terrain electric skateboard,

REVIEW – As a mom, I am constantly on the lookout for things that will encourage my children to get outside and take a break from the screens. However, there is so much technology that getting away is a challenge all of its own. The Isinwheel V4 children’s electric skateboard combines the fun of electronics

REVIEW – Electric skateboards are a great way to get around and have come a long way in the last few years. Remote controls have gone wireless and use virtually lag-free technology for throttle control (which is a must when you’re hurtling along the streets at 20+ mph with obstacles and vehicles trying to kill

REVIEW – Backfire recently held a crowdfunded campaign for the NALU E-Skateboard, a new option that I thought looked like a great addition to the family fleet. The NALU E-Skateboard has some great features such as a gallium nitride battery, easy handheld controller, and a beautiful design. Since I am not a skateboarder I was

REVIEW – It’s hard keeping up with teenagers. It seems like every week, they’re into something new. Three of my four teenagers were getting into skateboarding and were harping on me to join them. Man, I’m 50 years old. I couldn’t ride a skateboard when I was their age, but I was determined to try.

REVIEW – There’s a huge range of electric skateboards on the market with more coming every year. There’s short boards, long boards, fast boards, slow boards, and price points from a few hundred dollars (or even lower) to multiple thousands of dollars. Maxfind has 7 different models for different types of riders and styles, and

REVIEW – I grew up skateboarding and loved bombing down hills. Stopping was accomplished by… dragging one foot as a brake, a power slide (if you could control it), running off the front (trying to keep your feet under yourself), or unceremoniously hitting a small stone or crack and having the ground come up at

REVIEW – I almost didn’t volunteer to review the Outdoor Master Electric Skateboard Cruiser. I’m pushing middle age, tend to be a bit clumsy, and bruised my tailbone the last time I rode a longboard (over 20 years ago). I’ve been curious about these electric skateboards I see around town, but I was worried about

REVIEW – Before I walled up in the home office for the year 2020, I moved myself around town using a variety of methods. And I devoted some time to thinking about the ‘last mile‘ of transportation, and the solutions that I could use to travel with lower impact and parity (or higher) of convenience.
