Last week I wrote about how BoostedBoards.com is being deceptive. How they use a very sexy picture of a longboard, when they know full and well that the product they ship won’t look like that.
Well imagine my surprise when Sanjay, the man behind BoostedBoards, emailed me! Even more surprising, he told me I was *right*.
There’s precious little substance in his email. After I stopped fangirling about someone important actually reading my words, I realized this was more sales pitch than anything. He doesn’t want to lose a customer. And I don’t blame him. But I’m still waiting to see the picture on their homepage change. I’d love to report that. And I’m still waiting to hear the specs on the battery they plan to include. Now that would be news.
About all Sanjay could tell me was that his board will try to balance the look and feel of the board, with the actual battery life. :/
I wrote him back asking what is, for me, the million dollar question. The question that may have started this blog in the first place. How did you get the length of six miles as the range of your board? Were those calculations made by the engineers in the lab? Did you hand the board to a novice rider and have them make a trip? (this is how I would do it)
I’m still waiting for an answer from Sanjay. But if BoostedBoards is anything like Emad, I don’t ever expect to find out.
