Electric Skateboards

Electric Skateboards

An electric skateboard is a practical way to cover short distances without dealing with parking or a bus schedule. We stock one model in this category, the Meepo Hurricane, at $1,299. It ships from our shop in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Who an electric skateboard suits

Most riders buy an e-skateboard for trips under a few miles: getting across a campus, moving around a neighborhood, or covering the last stretch between a transit stop and home. A board is light enough to carry indoors and store under a desk, which is the main advantage over a bike. If you want something with a seat, larger wheels, or cargo capacity, our commuter bikes are a better fit.

What to know before you buy

• Braking takes practice. Learn to foot-brake as a backup before you rely on the electric brake, especially downhill.
• Road surface matters a great deal. Cracked pavement, gravel, and storm grates are the most common cause of falls.
• A helmet is essential. Wrist guards are worth adding while you learn.
• Rules for where an electric skateboard may be ridden vary by city and state. Check your local ordinances before riding on roads, sidewalks, or shared paths.

Give yourself a few sessions in an empty lot before commuting on one. Braking, turning, and reading pavement are all skills, and they come faster than most people expect.
