BoostedBoards.com, the company that originally got me into electric skateboarding, has made a big announcement on their blog. They’re finally shipping. Yay!
But it’s kind of hard to find. Just head on down to their webpage. You see that picture of the sexy longboard? It’s not that board. Unfortunately, they’re able to update their blog, but not their main page. Click on the blog section.
There are the boards they’ve finally delivered to backers. Of course, they didn’t have to deliver very far. This first batch of boards go to the beta testers living in San Francisco. More of a photo opportunity, really.
For those shy walleted longboarders like me, waiting for real deliver, scroll down to the bottom of the blog post:
Pre-orders begin shipping in April (your delivery date may vary depending on place in pre-order queue, the number of boards we can make per month, and other factors. More info will be available regarding pre-order batch shipping dates in April)
In other words, despite having technically delivered boards to earlier backers, real pre-order delivery won’t begin until April. So if you would like to pay money for a board, and not a pre-order, you’ll probably be waiting until months after that.
I’m going to hold off on pre-ordering until they’ve gotten through their pre-orders. I’m also very interested in seeing when they update their frontpage. But do you see the boards they’re shipping? I’d call the boosted board, the most likely to be mistaken for an orthodox board. It’s the only model that has two motors, one for each rear wheel. And it’s the only model that splits the battery, to better balance the board.
I can’t wait.
