1000th Metroboard Electric Skateboard Shipped!

Check out the Metroboard 32" Shortboard with Brushless Outrunner Motor.  The Shortboard was the first Metroboard model produced back in 2007 and demand is still strong for this classic style deck which can't be beat for portability and maneuverability.  We are also proud to say that the 1000th Metroboard Electric Skateboard was built and shipped last week to a customer in Sweden!

New Super Fast Charger, Abec-11 Flywheel Pulley Insert, and 10 mile Slim Lithium Battery

We now offer an optional super fast 4 Amp Charger for the Metroboard Slim Battery pack, which charges the battery twice as fast as our standard 2 Amp Charger. This results in a charge time of about 2 hours for our 20 mile slim pack, 1.5 hours for our 15 mile slim pack, and just 1 hour for our new 10 mile slim pack. We do however recommend using the 2 Amp charger when you are not in a rush to charge, as slower charging is better for the long term health of the battery. Learn more here:

Another new offering is our Abec-11 Flywheel Pulley Insert. This machined Aluminum Pulley Insert can be pressed into the hub of an off-the-shelf Abec-11 Flywheel with a diameter of 76 mm, 83 mm, 90 mm, or 97 mm, turning it into a Metroboard Outrunner Compatible Drive Wheel. The pulley can also be rotated amongst all 4 wheels to even out the wear of the drive wheel. Learn more here:

10 mile Slim Battery Pack takes Metroboard Weight down to 13.5 lbs and length down to 29"

Coming soon, our new 10 mile slim pack, weighing in at just 1.16 kg (2.55 lbs). This will enable us to build with a slim pack on our shorter boards (even our 29" mini). The minimum wheelbase is about 19" to fit this pack. The only board it won't fit on is our 32" shortboard which has only a 14.5" wheelbase. It will be housed in a slim aluminum battery box similar to the one on our longboard, but just shorter in length. This pack will enable us to make Metroboards as light as 13.5 lbs! Should be available within 1 month!

Brushless Outrunner vs Inrunner Motors

Here is a visual comparing our previous brushless inrunner motor to our newer brushless outrunner motor.  Note that the outrunner is 1/3 the size and 1/3 the weight of the inrunner, and yet has better high power performance.
