Now they released this amazing backpack I only can think of buying a bunch of enclosure from @Eboosted and build a Boosted so I can use it. I have spare motors, mounts , pulley, 18650, focbox i’m edging right now. Damn hobby, I don’t need more boards.
What do you think about it ? We need obed to come here and talk with us to develop the best backpack designed for esk8, like hi5ber did recently.
Maybe our speed machines are a great way of transport but never practical if you always have your board with you.
If you go out and ride only. I use my board to ride all around town everyday for my job and right now i carry a 10 kg board and it s a pain in the ass. I do stop n go all the time where i can’t stay on the board.
So for all of us commuting a lot it makes sense, but a this price this is pretty expensive. Tho i clearly believe that it’s a way for boosted to force peoples with the 200 $ credit to use them. I hope for a decrease in price in the next 6 month when they will release next models.
After adjusting…just undo one rib/abdomens strap and it pops off.
And just because Cobber said it. I agree backpacks suck for tucking. But this thing is great…no high center of gravity or anything. Just a little neck hump that almost acts like a LIAT system neck for the back of the helmet.
generic board catcher works decent and can be found for 35$+.
Other question, how often and for what would you use that backpack. My problem is, I cannot enter anywhere with that. I am already 196cm tall, with the board sticking out a good 20cm on the video (same with my board catcher) its actually much more inconvenient than just some good old carrying. Doors, trains, low passages become a big nono. What good is a backpack when it is inconvenient. I am actually interested how you use those things in your daily lives.
Seriously always wondered if people use those bags and what for ? Since for me carrying a board for up to an hour is totally fine. I mean 12-14kg is nothing really.
I’m in the same boat…if I gotta carry it ok, if it’s for a while I just wheel it like a suitcase and mall grab the fuck out of it, but only cause they’re electric and a quarter of my body weight lol.
Everyone’s habits are different. But really the only time I don’t carry my board is when I go grocery shopping. I toss it in the bottom of the kart. Otherwise I’ll carry my board everywhere else unless like mentioned above for long periods.
