I was hoping for a more in depth look at the difference in performance. The mini has HALF power vs the V2 (1,000 watts, v2 has 2,100). Surely the acceleration must feel lacking, especially so when riding uphill. Also was curios how compatible the batteries are. (Will a XR battery from the X model work on the S?, will a standard battery from a v2 work on the S?) Anyways it was still a nice review, I just don't feel like I got the full picture.
"the battery is non removable my friend." Where did you see this info? I've just got a boosted rep tell me that you can swap out Mini S batteries with other Mini S but not with Mini X's. (like you cant cross over).
On the website product page it says "Standard range and extended Range batteries are not interchangeable" (Boosted Boards, 2018) So to me that means that it's only removable probably by boosted themselves when the board comes in for service. I'm almost positive you can't buy extra batteries because they've never done that with the previous boards.
@@steamytree7951 I know your comment is three months old, but i couldn't help but reply. The original boosted board decks (the longboard model) are the furthest thing from trash. They are Loaded brand, are made from bamboo, and come in many different flex amounts for different body weights. I have a loaded deck myself, and I think it whoops ass. I love it.
@Justin C I am not talking about boosted. I understand that boosted boards are over priced. The deck itself that boosted originally used was made by a brand named loaded. They are a good company with good quality products. I can not speak for boosted.
orrrrr spend the same amount on a diy board, put in a little work, and have a 25+ mph 15+ mile range board. diy is the wave yall. also my estimations are very general, my current build is about 800 and predicted to be about 35+ mph, and 20+ range. just depends on your gearing, battery motor stuff
I’m no pro butttttt for the turning, just loosen the trucks for any board. And the mini is also a cruiser type of board and it’s supposed to be portable and stuff while the big one is meant to for hills not city type of stuff even tho Casey does that. Good video tho man!!!
I would argue that this new boosted mini is the model s, and the longboard is the model x. I believe we are, and should be still waiting for the "model 3", $750 is not affordable at all
Kellan Neill In my country I can buy a complete motorbike for this price fully certified Euro 2 emisions with everything that comes with a motorbike and 0 KM on the speedo. This piece of plank with a few batteries and control setup is nowhere worth that. People are just paying for the sticker.
I love this sucker. I prefer the stability of a shorter board. That thing reminds me of an old school pool board. The price point is def looking better. I’ll have my eyes on these guys.
I'd love to see someone with a more surfer-style technique review the turning capabilities. There won't be much turning with those straight, stiff legs.
How does it feel to ride 10 miles in comparison mini vs regular board? I have impression that regular boosted is much more comfortable for riding long distances then mini.
I used to wonder this too. I had the Evolve GTX as my first e-board last year, and after having 3-4 issues/breakdowns with it the final straw was when the remote locked into full speed in GT mode and would not let me brake for about 50 meters. I could have easily been killed, so I demanded a full refund and ordered a Boosted board. What's the difference? User experience. Boosted boards have a really easy paring process, you get an app on your phone, the build quality is on another level, they have Apple-like support, the boards are light and look good, and are just ridiculously reliable and tough, they're made to be abused. So that's why most people don't care about Evolve or Enertion or Inboard - they don't have anywhere near the same user experience, they do have great specs on paper though.
icerew completely!? Not sure about that. I can’t comment on raptor but I have the elvove carbon and that shit sucks. The most unreliable board you can own. It’s more expensive then boosted, made with cheap parts from China and the god damn remote loses connection with the board. ( new remote the r2 did not fix this issue ). So no it’s not better then the boosted board maybe on range but that’s about it. I would like a raptor 2 in the future or at least try one. I heard the waiting time on those are long, like almost a year.
Yeah I forgot to mention that Evolve uses garbage Chinese parts on their boards. What put me off Evolve the most is that they sold thousands of boards with those god awful remotes which were outright dangerous and not ready for public use, and only when most of the community complained endlessly did they update it - 3-4 years later! Evolve purely cares about the bottom line and profits, they don't care about their customers and they don't care about skateboarding.
Are you ever going to try out a onewheel? Wren, from corridor digital, knows a good bit about those and boosted boards and have used both so you could probably get some info from him.
Wow! Came over from Casey's mini-boosted board video, 6 million subs! And one more with mine. Looking forward to exploring your videos- I will send this over to my husband so he can get into your reviews also :)
Got your video on my home page this afternoon. Saw you in Casey's video the other day too! Keep it up man, great video. Great to see both of you doing it right.
Slow Ninja 23 I thinks it's more of an inside joke at least to me. For example he complained that the big one is hard to hold yet was holding it in a way that of course made it harder. Hold the board on the side in stead of the trucks boom the problem is gone.
David Alvarado it’s an inside joke for people who don’t skate who think they know about skating lmao. Anyone who actually skates can attest that sometimes the truck is the most convenient place to grab the board depending on what you’re doing. And besides, riding an electric skateboard makes you ten times more of a poser than grabbing your board by the trucks
I think skaters are more open and welcoming than that, plus e boards are waaaaaaaaayyyyy fun. I have an All Terrain and it's litterally turned EVERYTHING into a snowboarding slope. Plus they can go faster than normal boards (unless of course going downhill) so they take some balls to ride
I was trying to learn about the Boosted boards but I suddenly found myself learning more about Tesla. So thank you-- but let's change the title to comparison between Boosted boards and Tesla.
Agreed. My brother and I returned our Boosted Boards for Evolve boards. So much better!!! These guys are getting paid by Boosted. Casey’s admitted this.
Evolve boards are the best on paper, and that's about it. I sold my Evolve GTX because they are unreliable and frankly dangerous garbage. Evolve has a very non-skateboard like ride, no software or apps, two terrible and unreliable remotes, they're ridiculously heavy and ugly, and they literally use $50 motors from China. Evolve also does't stand behind their product - after 6 months you are dead to them. Boosted will still look after you.
MunchinOnApples yes they do, you don't skate, I personally don't mind it but a shitload of ppl do, the weight of the board down change even if you mallgrab it plus the screws of the trucks on your fingers aren't comfortable and the grip tape on your clothes, rough it up and even if you face it the other way, the wheels dirty your clothes too.
Honestly was looking at their shoes 90% of the time. 🔥

Seth Fowler I love your channel! You should collab with Marques sometimes...
I’m subbed to you. Keep up the good content
If only the board was made of boost
Yo Seth
Just buy a cheaper one
For a board that big *they could have fit atleast 2 head Jack's and a USB type C and a thunderbolt Port* which seems like a *Poor Use Of Space*
also, a hole dedicated to water damage would have been nice.
leloodallasmultipass it's a preview, the final review isn't here yet.
courage
Mr_Chukes so you are saying there might be a special hole dedicated to the creation of water damage? so glad you responded to me.
leloodallasmultipass 😂😂😂😂😂😂
scratches at level 3 with deeper grooves in level 4
jerry rig everything
You could fit 4 headphone jacks in the middle of those wheels
Are you using headphones to hear the wheels spin?
Bad use of space~mkbhd

Once again, HTC poor use of space..
Yea Longboards have changed so much over the last 5 years no one cares anymore about what the community wants

the battery is non removable my friend. You're stuck with whichever battery you choose when you initially purchase the board.

Well it's a.... Mini....review so 😂
Step 1: Buy boosted mini
Step 2: buy cheap longboard deck
Step 3: put boosted stuff on longboard deck
Yeah cus those boosted board decks look like they are made outta trash

I've never ridden a skateboard before but I had some garlic bread last night that was in a word...ethereal
this shit wont work in the UK
1. Pot Holes
2. Bendy Roads...
Shitty country eh?
zir786 windy roads r fun to bomb on my regular boards and fun to wind on my boosted
Coming from India, its real funny to see other countries complaining about pot holes 😂
Lol also it rains alot in uk
@@devandivakaran1154 yea, never heard about them either. pot pipes are more common i suppose
I demand an Ultimate Frisbee match on top of a boosted board
Why???
How white are you?
(Jk lmao)
Bedrock Skeleton lmao dead 💀

Omg
Crisp [insert Italian hand]
I’ve always wanted a boosted board, it’s nice to see an in depth look at it.
TH-cam had to give me nostalgia for a company that or going out of business
Easier to travel with? Can you take the boosted mini aboard a passenger aircraft? Great review by the way, thanks!
promster lol probably by now you know BUT if you don’t the boosted mini X CANNOT be on planes but the mini S CAN
How about doing a Tesla Model S vs the Boosted board mini marques?!
Pranay Pathole 0-60 test lmao
Ignore them Pranay, the replies are full of a bunch of racist bastards, you keep doing you 🤟🏻
Definitely would be cool 😁
Model 3 would be better cuz then both would be budget models

I don't know if he really is but he did won that award.
Cesar Alvarez HE IS!!!!!!!!!!
Local Guide no
3:16 Damn mall grabbers
i was just thinking the same thing
lol
Smh
Dirty
To be fair, skateboarders actually push so it doesn’t matter how you grab the board, if it’s an e-board you’re not skateboarding anyways
Does the Boosted mini have regenerative braking so one could use it to gain battery and slow themselves down while traveling down a hill?
Ok, finished watching his Video
Time to watch Casey's Video
Boosted board giveaway?
your*
Watch Review great idea 👍🏼

yeah i like wtf, lol I am a car driver
A review from a rider that never use a skate. Nice. Ultra paid review.
What a nerd lol
You know you’re early when you see a MKBHD video at a 1k
Even though he is growing and won the Creator of the Decade award, he isn't arrogant and still posts quality videos
This is going to be my ride around college!
You should get a onewheel pint (it’s worth the money)
Fir yeah lol
I love that Rogue NASA T-Shirt!!!
This is everything I wanted from my Boosted Board. I guess it's time to save
dont buy a boosted board if you need to saev for it. Buy like a ownboard mini kt
I’m no pro butttttt for the turning, just loosen the trucks for any board. And the mini is also a cruiser type of board and it’s supposed to be portable and stuff while the big one is meant to for hills not city type of stuff even tho Casey does that. Good video tho man!!!
Saul Ezequiel oh shit, someone else with my weird ass name lmao
You can only loosen the tucks so much before wheel bite is an issue.
James Thompson that’s for any board either tho, obviously loosen it up a little more than usual
Casey + MKBHD = Best collab !!
Man, there is something about your voice. Listening to it... somewhat calm and relaxing. Good review!
I would argue that this new boosted mini is the model s, and the longboard is the model x. I believe we are, and should be still waiting for the "model 3", $750 is not affordable at all
Kellan Neill In my country I can buy a complete motorbike for this price fully certified Euro 2 emisions with everything that comes with a motorbike and 0 KM on the speedo. This piece of plank with a few batteries and control setup is nowhere worth that. People are just paying for the sticker.
Kellan Neill If this is too expensive for you, try Wowgo or Meepo board. Good quality for less money😉
temporary youtube Wow, good to know, yeah it's rediculously expensive, when it's not much material
Oli Weg Will do, Thanks.
Anddd I can't afford that.
Pesky fks
I just love watching videos about tech I'm too broke to buy...
Could you make a follow up video to this with updated opinions regarding the mini and long boards?
Saw this badass little guy on Casey’s channel and my heart sank. The more I see it the more i want it!!
I'd get this. But like it's still a good chunk of change
STOP THE MALL GRAB 😂
Sebastien Merviel it’s the most comfortable way!!!!
NOT A NOOB7869 stfu poser
Sularaha Toomas stfu
I'm convinced that Marques is the most educated of all the tech TH-camrs.
Good video!
But missed detailed spec comparisom (weight, speed..).
Is the battery repleaceable/swapable on the go?
I love this sucker. I prefer the stability of a shorter board. That thing reminds me of an old school pool board. The price point is def looking better. I’ll have my eyes on these guys.
When will you upload Huawei P20 Pro review
I'd love to see someone with a more surfer-style technique review the turning capabilities. There won't be much turning with those straight, stiff legs.
Wasn’t expecting marques to make a vid about a boasted board but he did and it sure was amazing🤩
My favourite youtuber
How does it feel to ride 10 miles in comparison mini vs regular board? I have impression that regular boosted is much more comfortable for riding long distances then mini.
Have you seen the Mellow Board? Would be good to have your thoughts on it’s technology?
He makes me wish every youtuber switch to 4k

Why does nobody mention the Evolve or Enertion boards that completely blow boosted out the water?
I used to wonder this too.

yo just that little transition when you compared the wheels, that was just... clean.

What is the cost of NASA T-shirt that you are wearing inside bro🤔
Do more collabs with Casey!!!
“There’s nothing else really like it”
Bamboo GT, same price as dual and more range.
That’s a longboard though
And way more expensive
Wow! Came over from Casey's mini-boosted board video, 6 million subs! And one more with mine. Looking forward to exploring your videos- I will send this over to my husband so he can get into your reviews also :)
Can you do a video on that stabilization rig you showed at around 6 minutes?
Who's here after listening to the recent podcast?!✋
I bought something similar for us$460 equivalent. So the price difference goes to the design and brand.
Whats the name?
Interested in that too
How do we know it has equal quality/reliabiity?
What's the name of what you bought?
Wtf it’s not equivalent
Casey+Marques 5ever
Got your video on my home page this afternoon. Saw you in Casey's video the other day too!
Keep it up man, great video. Great to see both of you doing it right.
Can you ollie it though?
Was looking at their shoes most of the time TBFH!🔥😍
yeah exaqctly what kind of kicks are they?
It was just a coincidence that you was reviewing the boosted and you was wearing an Ultra boost !? 🤔
Junito Punto Comm they’re nmd’s
Junito Punto Comm those aren’t ultraboost they’re nmd’s
that mall grabbing tho...
m37h0d it hurts to see that so much....
Only real skaters understand😤💯 lmao

Very high quality video, especially the studio shots.
wouldn't you be able to loosen/tighten the trucks to your preference, like on normal skateboards?
Now they need to make a Kart or Bike 😆
those mall grabs tho
1:36 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
All Apple I know...my heart hurt too :(
People only buy these for transportation not for actually skateboarding so mall grabbing is fine
My daughter is starting college this fall...going to check out if this is good campus vehicle for her instead of bicycle :) thx for the idea
Have you tried the Leif Tech in newest version? Looks awesome as well, but at the price of the Boosted
Can't afford either 😐
Just saw Casey Neistat's vid on this!
Jack Salcedo love that guy.
First Name Last Name what did he ever do to you.
Salis Salman huh?
First Name Last Name yeah. He is one of the only truly great creators who has lots of talent and uses it for good.
Jack Salcedo he's the second coming of Christ.
Mavic Air drone or the Mini Boosted Board...idk which one I want more!
Get the board first then the drone. But it depends on you.
Neither
Got my dji sparks last year, now they release a mini boosted. Totally buy it
I feel you bro
Lmao this is actually what I was thinking! 👍🍻
One wheel Xr+ or Boosted Mini X? If you had to choose.
I'll be moving to NYC this summer. Will the be possible to use in mid-town Manhattan (train to office = about 5 blocks)??
It could be if your fine with falling into potholes and curbs, eating shit in the process.
Youre gonna get slated for that mall grab if skaters are here....
Yeah bro was bout to say
I think skaters are more open and welcoming than that, plus e boards are waaaaaaaaayyyyy fun. I have an All Terrain and it's litterally turned EVERYTHING into a snowboarding slope. Plus they can go faster than normal boards (unless of course going downhill) so they take some balls to ride
You are the best ❤️
Why buy a boosted when you have a moped
or a used honda civic...!
because they're 2 completely different things
I was trying to learn about the Boosted boards but I suddenly found myself learning more about Tesla. So thank you-- but let's change the title to comparison between Boosted boards and Tesla.
can u make a video on fiik spine.. that board is absolutely stunning.. but there is barely any video on that...
There are a bunch of boards as good as or better than Boosted. Evolve. Enertion.
Agreed. My brother and I returned our Boosted Boards for Evolve boards. So much better!!! These guys are getting paid by Boosted. Casey’s admitted this.
Evolve boards are the best on paper, and that's about it. I sold my Evolve GTX because they are unreliable and frankly dangerous garbage.

Evolve also does't stand behind their product - after 6 months you are dead to them. Boosted will still look after you.
Also, Evolve boards are 1700+....

Agreed. I bought an Evolve and love it.
This hasn't aged well....
Why
Josh Penrod boosted is bankrupt
@@koosnaamloos oof
$750' it should a Cadillac skateboard, not a mini.
Hey Marques. Good job on this review. Very concise and intelligently explained. Just got one! Have a good one.
Would the turn radius really be that much better tho if you're turning with a giant camera rig?
Pro tip: you carry a skateboard sideways, holding it by the trucks is called mallgrabbing and is kinda lame
luckily these people arent dumb teenagers
The boards are too heavy to not mall grab. Also no one who actually skates thinks anything of mallgrabbing
MunchinOnApples yes they do, you don't skate, I personally don't mind it but a shitload of ppl do, the weight of the board down change even if you mallgrab it plus the screws of the trucks on your fingers aren't comfortable and the grip tape on your clothes, rough it up and even if you face it the other way, the wheels dirty your clothes too.
Hx. is right. Skaters care. Its pretty pointless to care, but it is etiquette.
lol what is this bullshit. No-one cares how you hold a skateboard.
Came from Casey Neistat
HOLY FUCK MISTER TH-cam HIMSELF!!!

Haha same here
oh lala
Such a helpful review. Someone who isn’t a veteran skateboarder is a good perspective to get on this product.
Boosted bicycle would really be dope
Casey!!!
Everybody is goofy. Us regular riders are rare.
Airthew yeah.
I can tell you don't skate cause that's a lie
Airthew Defiantly not true
Airthew, Im literally the only regular out of the 10 of my friends who skate.
arthur rackley I can tell you don't skate if you think regular is just as common as regular.
FROM CASEY'S 368
Just watched Casey video about the boosted mini. Saw Marques there too.
Review the Meepo Mini 2 ER! 20 mile range.
*Pervious* video was aslo awesome ✌️✌️✌️
The best one so far is Evolve carbon fiber one. Best specs.
Boosted is hyped Casey Neistat paid mediocre product
*Waiting* *for* *Xiaomi* *Boosted* *Boards!*
👍😂👌😎🙏🙌🏄♂️🔥
That will have little to no support, will be much cheaper, and will ocasionally stop functioning)
4:04 how do u keep focus with a gimbal like that?
Wonder if the battery can be easily detached so that I can just put the board in my backpack as a carry-on in flights.
