- Boosted, best known for its electric skateboard, will enter the scooter business this summer with the Boosted Rev, a $1,600 electric scooter. We got a first look at the new scooter and talked to the CEO and co-founder to see why the company is betting big on electric scooters.
The company hopes to appeal to a broader customer base, but it will be going up against the scooter-sharing companies that have recently starting popping up in cities.

Is Electric Skateboard Maker Boosted's Scooter Worth $1,600?
Will you purchase a Boosted Scooter once it's available?
The reason it's called "Boosted" is because we "boosted" the price.
ground clearance looks kinda low
looks good but they are competing with $300 scooters from Xiaomi and Ninebot that have 90% of the performance
Looks well built, but way too heavy at 46 pounds (21 Kg) for 24 mph (40Km/h) and 22 miles ranges (32 km). Here in Europe the etwow brand is really ahead of the competition with scooters that go up 40/45 km/h, have a 35km range and only weight 11kg virtually half). And for less than 1500€ sometimes even less than 1000€. I have several of them and the oldest is still fine after 4 years...
San Francisco, where dystopian income inequality leads to $1,600 electric scooters.
"Your 30 minute commute becomes 2 minutes, in rush hour."
"It's always been our mission to make fun, fast, simple transportation for everyone"
for $1600 you can get a scooter that does 60mph with shocks and lights.
This feels like an ad for an overpriced scooter. The point of these little scooters is it's cheap to get a ride somewhere. This is $1600 not cheap.
This video is powered by boosted 😂
Way overpriced with lack of suspension, must be a harsh ride.
“The reason it’s called Boosted, is because we boost stuff” 🥴
Patiently waiting for Casey Neistat review of the Boosted Rev
For 1600 dollars and the reputation this company has I am so incredibly shocked at the poor performance of speed, weight, lack of suspension, and foldability
What's the range, not a single mention 😂
In indonesia we have electric motorbike called Gesit, can go for 70km/h and 100km without charging (im not sure) for the around same price as this thing.
So Casey Neistat is not the CEO???
What I need to persuade purchase:
I hear the Scooter comes with a useless free $400 Juicero and $10 piece of toast. But seriously $1,600!!! that's crazy.
