Have been riding my electric longboard for some time. Just got my electric kick scooter, test it out in the parking, LOVE IT. Can’t wait for the weather to be warmer to ride it outside.
Debating if i should make a smaller electric longboard (penny size), or get a OneWheel next
I had a OneWheel and did not really like it. It would be fun if you have that off-road need but otherwise I decided to stick to skateboard. It’s easier to go to stock with. The OW is built like a tank!
I wanted to, but a Mountainboard alone is like $2000+
Edit: Wait, i got confuse, i thought you meant a Mountainboard. What the different between Powell-Peralta Lance Mountain Reissue deck and a regular skateboard deck?
The OW is awkward to carry becuase the huge wheel gets in the way. Imagine holding your board with you arm stretched out 2 feet away from you body…now try to walk.
What I didn’t like about the onewheel is mostly the stopping and getting off part. You have to lift your heel off the front sensor pad, the board will turn off after a second or two and you essentially fall back and slam the rear on the ground. Other way of getting off is stop, stay balanced, then hop off, the OW will either roll forward or backward a bit then fall down, or it would just fall over. It’s a fun ride as long as you don’t plan to get off. For an actual commute, a skateboard is much better.
I think it’s a good idea to add a handle to your board. Also wearing a glove really helps with carrying your board. Find the perfect balance and the board will be effortless to carry. Mall grab is not easy with a longboard
If the handle is on the FRONT, not the side, and the deck is 31" or shorter, the handle stays clean (alleviating the need for gloves) and it’s super-easy and convenient to carry and use as a transportation device. That’s why I suggested the exact deck I did
