Atom Electric boards work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/Atom-Longboards-Electric-Longboard-Sk... https://www.amazon.com/Atom-Longboards-Electric-Longboard-Sk...

The $600 one might be underpowered depending on your use case but hard to beat the Amazon return policy if you don't like it.




Metroboards - priced around or under boosted price. Built like tanks. Not as sleek looking.

Meepo - ~350 shipped, as fast as boosted. Not as much torque as boosted but at least one boosted owner on r/electric skateboarding has commented that it is surprisingly capable of climbing hills. Con - not much info about reliability

Pulse echo- another new seller with hub motors - uses high quality motor controllers ~700 bucks

Raptor 2 - priced under boosted for now I think. Beastly hub motors (about 30 mph).

The space is getting really competitive so there are many more great options. R/electricskateboarding is ok for suggestions but the real knowledgeable people hang out at electricskateboard.builders
