Helps to read the article before commenting, it goes up to 19mph, it was limited to 5 at the show to prevent crashes. No need to ever go faster than 19mph on a freaking skate board, you are askin for broken bones, skull fractures, and a coma if you do.
A true 15 mile range is great however going to their website I see several models and the $545 price tag is for the lesser range SLA battery version.The LiFePO4 battery versions are several hundred dollars higher than that figure.For a inexpensive EV it's fairly lightweight (if you don't mind lugging around 20 to 25 pounds) and it's compact not anywhere as heavy or bulky in size as my electric powered bike.However I feel comfortable already with my electric bike.People whom ride skateboards may like this though especially youth.
