I live about a mile away from the bus station, and the bus service extension from the bus station to my apartment was cut during the pandemic. It's a thirty minute walk now (or a carpool situation), but this board gets me get there in under seven minutes! And, it's portable enough where I can bring it on a crowded bus and nobody will make a fuss. This means everything to me, since I'm able to bring it around with me when I get off the bus and go to classes, and it's not to heavy. Certainly it's not too long, either- It's kinda like carrying around a suitcase.Let's get one thing out of the way right away, the price. It's certainly a budget skateboard and that it to be taken into consideration when you buy it. The battery or distance won't blow you away nor should it. However, there are large stretches of my day where I'm going downhill or on even ground around campus on this board and I can't tell the difference between this $160 board and the $300+ electric longboard my friend lent me to learn on. Hills should be avoided for sure, but it certainly does okay on slight grades, and worse case scenario you pick it up like a suitcase and start again when it's flat.UPDATE:The customer support for this company is great. Ran into an issue with the board disconnecting from the remote, I reached out to customer support via their email on their website, they responded right away and identified the issue via a video I sent in to them. They showed me how to re-pair the remote and the issue is now completely resolved!
