- Electric longboards are not limited in speed.
- However, for safety reasons, an electric longboard for kids should not be able to go faster than 20 km/h.
- Electric longboards can be equipped with two types of motors. Both variants have their advantages and disadvantages. In both cases, the total power should not be less than 150 watts .
- An in-wheel motor sits inside the tire. The driving force is therefore generated in the tire. As a result, the longboard loses weight and is narrower, since a dedicated motor is obsolete. However, it is more difficult to replace the motor or motors. The sleeve, the actual tire, is also thinner, which causes the board to lose grip.
- A classic hub motor , which is integrated under or in the board, increases the weight, but also increases the ride comfort . Overall, a dedicated motor can also score with more efficient energy.
- The battery of the electric longboard is crucial for its range, but since the weight of the rider as well as the terrain (slope and surface) have an enormous influence on the energy demand of the motor, the capacity of the battery is not the only decisive factor for the range.
- Depending on the motor, rider weight, and slope, an e-longboard can last between 1 and 3 hours. Batteries with a capacity of 24 volts are considered standard. Some can also hold 36 volts! Make sure that the charging time is as short as possible.
- Some boards need to plug in for 5 hours to refresh their battery cells!
- The speed of an electric longboard is regulated by remote control. This should be equipped with prominent buttons as well as a wrist strap. Some models are controlled via smartphone (Bluetooth), but this transmission is considered less stable!
- The rider determines the direction of travel by shifting weight. In order for the longboard to interpret the commands correctly, the supported weight limits must be observed. For example, if the child is too light, the board does not perceive the control commands .
- Electric longboards are not approved for road use! Discuss the use of the board with your child.
- Only on private property as well as in selected vehicle fleets the offspring may turn.
- Due to the high speed that an electric longboard can develop, a helmet and protectors for the knees, wrists and elbows should be worn in any case. It is best to buy these separately and make sure that they fit the wearer perfectly.
