The Blitzart Huracane may not be the best in a particular category but its a well-rounded longboard. It is not one quality that gets it on our list but the presence of many.
An ideal electric skateboard for beginners, it has a mile range of around 6-8 miles given by its 350W battery. The best part is that when the battery dies, you can still use the board normally unlike the belt-driven motors. The motor is in-hub and is very quiet with its low humming sound hardly audible.

Since its a hub motor, the wheels don’t need to be attached via a belt. Implying that the wheels roll even when unpowered.

This electric skateboard with remote control is connected via Bluetooth which aids in controlling Acton Blink Qu4tro effortlessly.
Made out of aircraft-grade aluminum, it weighs 24 lbs, is sturdy and will last for ages. What we love is the shock absorbers in the truck that ensure that your ride is smooth like butter.
Since it’s a little on the heavier side you can’t really carry it around. It is also a little difficult to maneuver through smaller lanes. So if your commute involves a messy route then go for something smaller and lighter. But if you have a clear straight out route to take, then this is the one for you. Buy this Now.

Connectivity happens through a remote control that is pretty user-friendly. It gives you the choice of beginner, intermediate or advanced modes to control the speed. It’s very intuitive in everything from acceleration to braking.

Unlike its peers, it doesn’t have a remote control but has sensors in the foot palates. Lean forward to accelerate and lean back to decelerate. In motion, it feels wired to your brain.
You connect it via Bluetooth to your phone to check up on its battery and speed status. Also, you can set up modes through your phone based on your requirements.

Difficult to carry at 26 lbs, it can be hauled around thanks to the handgrip at the front plate.
