Carbon Series Ships!

So much has happened in the world of electric skateboarding. And that’s just since my last post yesterday.

First, I put a piece of tape over the battery cover for my underlighting. Check out the picture on Instagram. But surprisingly, it adds a certain charm! I like it much better now than I did before.

But most importantly, I got an email from Evolve saying my board has shipped! I have a tracking number. Even as I type, it is coming to me. I expect it on Tuesday. Life is good.

I’ve also been going over the new Boosted web site with a friend of mine who is knowledgeable on model planes and batteries. He says the Boosted LiFePO4 Battery, what he called a “Life” battery, is newer and better than the lipo battery Evolve uses. However, the Boosted web page says it’s a 40 volt, 2000 watt. The problem is, we don’t have all of the information. He says we’d need to know the capacity of the battery in amp hours.

Not that capacity in amp hours means so much to me at the moment. But my Snubnose board has 7Ah and the Carbon series have 10Ah. As soon as I figure out how many Ah the Boosted Board has, I’ll let you know.

  1. Awesome! I'm sure the Carbon Series would be awesome. It's well thought out definitely. Post some pictures and an update about the carbon series. I'd like to know your opinion on it.

    Boosted and Evolve IMO are the main players for electric skateboards.

    The Boosted LiFePO4 is a 12 cell battery with 2800 mah I believe. They had a blog post and the type of batteries they use per cell are about 2800mah (2.8ah).
