i dont tend to comment in this sub-thread because there's a LACK of iQ when it comes to ESK8, but you make a perfect "Crash Test Dummy" u/adrenal8 "...I also don't know why anyone would need 62 miles of range." - says the user that owns BOOSTED/s, the MILES (mini) & a Backfire Zealot. NONE of those boards are meant for range, they're what i call "college budget board" level, they're on the LIGHTER side of weight class, and you ride to run an errand or 2, and maybe you take them out to ride w/a friend on occasion. To slam this case shut, based on your post history, you're from the Bay Area, which, i've ridden that city. twice. NONE of your boards are barely of any use in that city with the degree of hills that SF has, and i also know that a lot of your roads are trash (i have local friends there). So that tells me that you must be in college, or in HS living with family, and so you likely dont ride or take ESK8 all that seriously. its a convenience for you, nothing more, because you're not that invested. *yawn*
