That, on its own, is a major selling point, but Acton made sure to use the weight wisely.
It’s the type of travel system you can commute to college on, safely forget about during your day, and ride home on. It weighs about the same as a laptop and, being a shortboard, it’s not a massive inconvenience in terms of its 27.5-inch length. That’s right, it’s like the best friend you never had – tuck it under your arm and take it everywhere you go. What makes this board unique is its companionability. Deck: 27.5 inches long – this is a shortboard, balancing may be challenging.As it is intended for quiet areas, this shouldn’t impact your overall experience with the product drastically if you use it is was intended. These wheels perform very well on pavements and smooth concrete.
You will experience the full texture of the surface beneath you – bumps and all. Wheels: The wheels are soft but relatively small.Flex is not practical for high speeds, as you need total stability to fly. It also means the board is less likely to snap. Experienced boarders enjoy the effect of a little flex, it’s like a shock absorber over bumps. No one can tell you which is best, it’s down to personal preference. Deciding whether or not you need flex is like ordering eggs – some people like them soft and some people need them practically rubberized and stamped with the Dunlop logo. The other benefit of an in-hub motor is its natural stealth mode, belted motors tend to announce your arrival with a loud vibrating noise. The belts can also tear – which makes belted motors more work to maintain, potentially. Belted motors offer a little more torque and power, as well as faster braking, but belted motor skateboards can’t be pushed. The alternative to an in-hub motor is a belted motor. This means you can push it should you run out of power. They allow the wheels to still spin freely like a traditional skateboard wheel. Single in-hub motor: In-hub motors are inside the wheels.
