ELECTRIC SKATEBOARDS

Street miles.
Skate style.

If you enjoy skating and have a smooth, dry route, an electric board can turn the trip to work into more time on a board. Many street models are easier to carry than a bike or scooter, too. The wheels make a big difference to where you’ll be comfortable riding, and braking with a remote takes practice.

Street wheels need smooth pavement; larger wheels broaden your route options

WHY IT WORKS

Why choose one?

01

Easier to carry

Many street boards weigh less than a scooter or e-bike. Try holding the board by its handle or trucks, and check its length against the space available on transit.

02

Choose the feel

Deck flex, trucks and wheels change the way a board rides. Compare those details along with speed and range.

03

Small storage needs

An office corner or under-desk space may be enough. Confirm the building’s rules for electric devices and batteries.

04

Wheels for rougher roads

Some boards use air-filled wheels to soften rough surfaces. Expect extra weight, rolling resistance and tire maintenance.

WowGo Pioneer 4Electric skateboard

Lighter value street longboard

WowGo Pioneer 4

90 mm solid-wheel version shipping from the U.S. warehouse

Budget90 mm U.S.-warehouse variant marked in stock at last check

Price band only. Follow the seller link for today’s price.

Listed weight
18.1 lb
Maker’s advertised range
Up to 22 miles.

Why consider it A lighter full-length street board at a lower price, for practiced riders on smooth, dry city routes.

The tradeoff The 90 mm solid wheels need a cleaner route than the pneumatic and airless options here. The 22-mile figure has incomplete test conditions, and hub sleeves remain wear parts.

System certification needs confirmation

Full specifications & sources
Range conditions
Manufacturer calls this a real-range figure but does not state rider weight or test speed on the current page. Load, pace, hills, wind and temperature affect it.
What the listed weight includes
Converted from the manufacturer-listed 8.2 kg board weight.
Brakes
Remote-controlled regenerative electronic hub-motor braking.
Suspension
No suspension; deck flex and urethane wheels provide limited compliance.
Tires / wheels
90 mm solid urethane street wheels on the selected U.S.-warehouse variant.
Battery and charging
345 Wh, 12S2P Samsung 40T pack. Listed charge time is 3.5-4 hours.
Included for commuting
OLED remote, tail light, charger and tool kit.
Service and warranty
WowGo lists a 270-day warranty for Pioneer 4 and email-based after-sales support. Wear and misuse limits should be checked in the current policy before ordering.
Electrical certification
We didn't find an exact Pioneer 4 whole-device or battery certification record in the official sources we checked. Cell brand and moisture-protection claims do not establish system certification.
What still needs checking
The U.S. warehouse reported only the 90 mm variant in stock. The 105 mm and two-in-one configurations had different regional availability.
Speed / class
Up to 28 mph, manufacturer claim. Your local speed limit may be lower, and some routes may not allow this ride.
Tire care
The solid urethane wheels don't use sealant. Check the rear sleeves, front wheels, bearings, trucks and remote before leaving. Build your commute kit

Exway Wave V2Electric skateboard

Light compact shortboard

Exway Wave V2

Base Wave V2 with one 99 Wh quick-release battery and 85 x 56 mm PU street wheels

MidrangeOrderable from Exway at last check

Price band only. Follow the seller link for today’s price.

Listed weight
15.21 lb
Maker’s advertised range
Up to 9.3 miles.

Why consider it A compact shortboard for practiced skaters making short, smooth, dry trips with frequent carrying.

The tradeoff The 9.3-mile claim leaves little room for detours. Small solid wheels need smooth pavement and a close eye on cracks. A battery below 100 Wh may fit many airlines' limits, but check the exact carrier's policy before every flight.

System certification needs confirmation

Full specifications & sources
Range conditions
Exway says range depends on rider weight, terrain and riding style; no fixed rider weight or speed was stated for the 9.3-mile figure.
What the listed weight includes
Manufacturer-listed board weight for Wave V2.
Brakes
Remote-controlled EBS regenerative electronic braking; no separate mechanical hand brake.
Suspension
No suspension; compact deck construction and urethane wheels provide limited compliance.
Tires / wheels
85 x 56 mm solid polyurethane street wheels with high-rebound formula.
Battery and charging
99 Wh quick-release battery. About 2.5 hours with the included 85 W charger; optional 167 W charger is claimed at one hour.
Included for commuting
Rexus display remote, front/rear Bifrost lighting, turn signals, USB-C power output and quick-release battery.
Service and warranty
Exway's current maintenance policy gives Wave-series complete boards six months of warranty coverage for listed core parts, with wear items excluded and customer support handled remotely.
Electrical certification
We didn't find an exact Wave V2 whole-device or battery certification record in the sources we checked. A 99 Wh travel threshold and IP rating do not establish UL system certification or airline acceptance.
What still needs checking
This is the base 99 Wh configuration. Cloudwheel, fast-charger and second-battery bundles are distinct higher-cost variants.
Speed / class
Up to 24 mph, manufacturer claim. Your local speed limit may be lower, and some routes may not allow this ride.
Tire care
The solid PU wheels don't use sealant. Check the wheels, bearings, trucks, battery latch and remote before each trip. Build your commute kit

Tynee ExplorerElectric skateboard

Long-range pneumatic all-terrain board

Tynee Explorer

864 Wh Samsung 50S battery and 175 mm quick-release pneumatic wheels from the U.S. warehouse option

Midrange864 Wh U.S./EU/Australia warehouse variant orderable at last check

Price band only. Follow the seller link for today’s price.

Listed weight
30 lb
Maker’s advertised range
Up to 36 miles on the selected all-terrain wheels; up to 52 miles after a separate street-wheel conversion.

Why consider it Air-filled tires for rough pavement, packed paths and gravel, with a long manufacturer range claim.

The tradeoff The 30 lb board is awkward to carry, belts and tubes will need replacing as they wear, and the 36-mile claim uses a light rider in the lowest speed mode. Pneumatic wheels add pressure and puncture maintenance.

System certification needs confirmation

Full specifications & sources
Range conditions
Tynee says its figures use a 65 kg / 143 lb rider in the lowest speed mode under ideal conditions. Rider weight, terrain, wind, temperature, speed and braking mode affect range.
What the listed weight includes
Manufacturer-listed board weight; page also shows package dimensions separately.
Brakes
Remote-controlled regenerative electronic braking through dual belt motors, with adjustable braking settings.
Suspension
No mechanical suspension; flexible deck and pneumatic tires provide compliance.
Tires / wheels
175 mm pneumatic wheels with inner tubes; Tynee instructs inflating them to about 32-34 psi before riding.
Battery and charging
864 Wh, 12S4P Samsung 50S pack. Included 50.4 V / 4 A charger; listed charge time is 4-5 hours.
Included for commuting
OLED remote, pump, two spare inner tubes, two spare belts, handle, tools and charger.
Service and warranty
The current Explorer page advertises a 12-month warranty. Tynee's policy relies on remote diagnosis and replacement parts; verify shipping responsibility and exact coverage before purchase.
Electrical certification
The product page calls the included adapter/charger certified but does not identify an exact whole-board standard or listing. We didn't find an exact Explorer system or battery certification record.
What still needs checking
Specifications are for the 864 Wh battery, 175 mm tires and U.S. warehouse selection. The Canada-only option has a smaller battery.
Speed / class
Up to 31 mph on all-terrain wheels, manufacturer claim. Your local speed limit may be lower, and some routes may not allow this ride.
Tire care
These tires use inner tubes. Check tube and valve compatibility, existing sealant and the listed Armor-Dilloz dose before adding it. Keep the supplied spare tubes and pump handy. Tire care and Armor-Dilloz
