I've been riding my summerboard for about 10 months now. This thing is the hardest board I've ever ridden. It takes time to get down, but once you do, it's one of the most fun you can have.

freebord looks cool and isn't out yet, and looks to serve a slightly different purpose. i think competition is healthy, and a motorized alternative is cool
The learning curve on these is pretty high. I got to test one for an hour and was still barely carving properly.. but still getting there enough to feel some confidence and an honestly unique snowboard like experience.
I'd be curious to see your opinion of a OneWheel. It's super intuitive for me. Felt sketchy the first 20 minutes on one. But after that, I was relatively comfortable.
@@thechineserussianthat’s the thing though, we almost never need to. I mean obviously SOME do, but the majority of us really don’t have to do any kind of maintenance, maybe ever. (Besides the tire.) I think the fastest forced maintenance would be changing the tire, which happens anywhere from 800-2500 miles, depending on your tire pressure and the tire’s softness. And the stock GT tire has been seen lasting until around 7,000 miles!🤯
If I was a skateboard or snowboard rider, this would definitely be on my shortlist. The price is reasonable if compared to an electric bike. This seems like a new challenge and looks so much more fun than an electric bike or skateboard! Great review! Thank you!
If compared to an e-bike.. But you can't really compare these two. An e-bike is a legit means of transportation, while this e-board is great fun,but not really something to commute with.
Great review! Once you learn how to ride, this is without a doubt the BEST mode of transport from A to B! The maneuverability gives you so much agility and freedom.
I just learned summerboard and it is really fun. I think the key to learning it is to ride it like a ripstik, balancing on the center wheels. Once you get used to that, the other skills like turning and sliding become much easier. It’s expensive but if you want an electric snowboard that you can ride anywhere, this is it. If you want a lower cost version , check out freebord which rides similarly but has no motor so you need to ride it downhill.
This is the best example I have heard. I just picked up the Summerboard today and have now put 10 miles on it. Balancing on the center two wheels to go straight is exactly the same on a ripstick.
Bad company. Back before they rebranded to Summerboard, they were Leiftech. The boards were plagued with problems and they offloaded the costs onto the buyers. I won't support them now.
that 2 min blooper was one of the best reactions , i swear that wholesome laugh made this entire video a breeze and pleasure to walk through and listen to thanks ! ride safe brotha
Yes pricey, but when comparing to actual snowboarding, its actually affordable. Avg board, bindings and boots run you $1k. And what about the lift ticket (~$100/day), transport cost to the mountain and accommodation for overnight stay?
A snowboard I bought a year old model board, bindings, and boots once since I finished growing at a swap meet for over half off. I buy a season pass in advance, since there’s no guarantee of good snow. I pay $300 for an unlimited early bird pass. Me and the homies rent a motel room for $30 a night, like $6 a person. Gas isn’t too bad either since I live close enough like 2 hours with traffic from my home resort. There’s also shuttles that run every weekend from my city. So snow sports don’t have to be cost prohibitive if you really budget it out and want to do it!
I totally agree! Sure snowboarding can be anywhere from $600 all in to $2000 or more, but that off season is ruff when you need a fix this could be a solid option. I used to shovel Zamboni snow at ice rinks to hit rails in June landing on pavement. I give them a ton of credit for the innovation and just trying to think different!
Some1 just did the 1st backflip on 1 the other day so yes its getting more & more popular. I think I may get the base Model to start & see if I like it. You can always buy another battery for more range later on & 20MPH is plenty fast. I have a $4K Bajaboard but this look like more fun!! Only thing is mine is for off road also & has Wishbone Shocks! So 🔥
Holy cow - catching an "edge" on that thing at speed could leave you eating from a straw for the rest of your life. Wear your protective equipment FOR SURE. Catching an edge on a snowboard is bad enough - the road will be COMPLETELY unforgiving, unlike snow - somewhat.
I like your reviewing style. Curious if you have tried out a Onewheel? I see there are some haters below but I have found mine is a good mix between the fun flow of riding AND as an effective way to get around.
Agreed, the Onewheel XR is the best in terms of versatility. You can go on gravel, packed sand, grass, etc... Might not be the fastest, but honestly, if you are going faster than you can run out of, you're going to have a bad crash sooner or later. So the 16-19 mph of the Onewheel XR is right on target.
@@scpdatabase69420 carving is pencil thin precise turns. When someone carves your see very thin lines in the snow where they turned. Slide turns leave shaved trails
Just saw two guys riding summerboards today around my neighborhood and it seemed like they were having a blast! If the board could get to the point where the skateboard wheels and trucks are no longer needed, it would look badass.
Can you really jump on these as well or not really? Will it damage those castors or otherwise in doing so? Given it's 3-4 times as heavy as a traditional skateboard I'm guessing you can't really Ollie on one very well?
How much road do you need for that? Hope it has breaking or you’ll be snowboarding rt out into traffic. Otherwise very cool just not a lot of trails big enough or roads (traffic etc.)
omg this is something i want to try at some point in my life... i do some snowboarding during winter times and have some skateboarding experience and this looks fun AF
My guess is it’s about learning the “edge” like all board sports. Ever wakesurf? Ever wakesurf on a skim board? The extra kicker though is also learning to modulate speed.
i imagine the plan is for early adopters to already be comfortable with snowboarding or skateboarding at moderate speeds. the trick for brand new riders will definitely be figuring out how to keep people from catching edges.
i've got most of the PEVs, imo the OW is the worst of them, it's a small underpowered uni. EUCs ate Future motions lunch a long time ago, and are the most practical, leiftech and summerboard are really differentiated and extremely fun, i think they will be a better competitor.
I am working on making parts that will convert a onewheel frame into an electric freeboard that fits summerboard casters or freebord for non electric riding. Using the aftermarket bumpers and Flightfins will make a dope board that onewheelers will want to make out of old ow rails and diy esk8 parts. I basically want to become an aftermarket parts supplier for the Summerboard but also have parts that let you diy a board more or less.
Once I learned to carve I just started switching back and forth from regular to goofy foot over and over until doing a 360 wasn't really something I had to learn because I already could smoothly 180 and then just keep going around another 180. I wear skate pads when I ride because I'm old af.
Its basically what I wanted to design years ago when I had a freeboard (the original unpowered version). be interesting to know how they transfer the power though the castors to the motors...
I got to ask the question.....why did they keep the wheels standard shape instead of having the inside diameter being bigger so that when you bring two wheels down on one side it will get full traction instead of just the outside half of the wheels ?
This board is about $3500AUD, but factor in teeth implants for $5000 AUD each, plus the occasional ambulance fee of around $1000, it's an expensive sport.
I ride my Pint rather aggressively, and falling can suck. Learn the limits of the board, and how to roll when you fall. It's seriously one of my favorite pastimes.
I was hoping to see someone actually carving smooth, arcing turns. I saw plenty of stiff-legged, slightly sketchy scarving. They were sort of just hanging on for the ride. I want to be able to compress my legs and DRIVE the board into the turns then get weightless in between them. There's no power transmitted down through the legs into the edge, or wheels, and far less control when scarving. On the other hand well executed carved turns engage the whole body in the turn. There's not much flow state with scarving, at least from my experience. Then again who am I to say what's fun. If someone likes to twirl and drift around slideways, more power to them.
I’ve owned two electric skateboards and both stopped connecting with the Bluetooth remote. Cannot stress enough how upsetting that is and having to return them both.
I like it. My problem is you should have worn knee and elbow guards. protection pushes you to learn faster. It goes fast. Make sure people watching know how to do it safe. They are not falling into snow. Cement is less forgiving.
that goes both ways. you can argue that protection makes you more reckless and will sustain more injuries. most protection will prevent you from road rash and breaking bones, but they don't do much for in inner soft tissues. EG - helmets will protect your skull, not your brain.
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions about Summerboard.
Stop promoting this bs, they ripped off freebords by just adding a motor. Why they keep changing their name over the years.

I got to ask the question.....why did they keep the wheels standard shape instead of having the inside diameter being bigger so that when you bring two wheels down on one side it will get full traction instead of just the outside half of the wheels ?
prob standard long board wheels, which means there is already a huge market of hardness and wheel types you can play with.
This board is about $3500AUD, but factor in teeth implants for $5000 AUD each, plus the occasional ambulance fee of around $1000, it's an expensive sport.

This is pretty cool. The only problem is see with it is how much wheel replacing you’ll do ,with all that gliding and sliding on your wheels.
I'm deciding between a OneWheel and this.
I like it. My problem is you should have worn knee and elbow guards. protection pushes you to learn faster. It goes fast. Make sure people watching know how to do it safe. They are not falling into snow. Cement is less forgiving.
People watching can decide for themselves?
that goes both ways. you can argue that protection makes you more reckless and will sustain more injuries.
most protection will prevent you from road rash and breaking bones, but they don't do much for in inner soft tissues.
EG - helmets will protect your skull, not your brain.
Like the Freebord; you will quickly realise that Snow is a lot softer then concrete!
1:55 one that I can photograph, which is also the same one that can get beat up while I learn how to use it
It makes sense. In snowboarding. You best learn it in more steeper hill than not so steep. Not too much steep. It's just odd on the balance.
wow congrats aaron, great work summerboard guys, from a turtle.
Whats the point in the traditional wheels? They look like a trip hazard when you are powersliding
Exactly what i have been wanting
Great video! Interesting that it's like a hybrid workout, transport, skill-building kind of thing. Pretty $$$ though.
The only tech review I've seen with a jump scare thrown in 😁
