Just enough sunshine to get me started in skateboarding or longboarding for that matter with the E-GO Cruiser. A total riding experience of only an hour or two so far with no records of falling off the board. The number one challenge for me was to turn a right angle on sidewalks. It was difficult. After all, I bought this board for traveling to work every day. Knowing how to turn tight corners on sidewalks is important. The remote control was set to ECO Mode with a top speed of only 8 mph. When set to SPORT Mode, a top speed of 12.5 mph is possible. Acceleration in SPORT Mode is much faster. I was not confident enough to bring my bigger camera along. I was afraid of falling off the board even though it had not happened yet. This photo was taken with my Panasonic Point and Shoot camera.

The least expensive electric longboard with slim Lithium-Ion battery is the E-GO Crusier. The price at Amazon.ca is CAD1,045 after taxes. The price off eBay is more or less the same with a standard before taxes price of USD699. That was a bit out of my budget and so I told myself, may be next year. And then I found one selling his new at eBay in Canada. I ended up winning and paid seven hundred something Canadian with freight included. I placed my bid one minute before the ending. I could have saved a further fifty dollars had I placed my bid may be just 15 seconds before the ending. Anyway... The package was quite heavy and big! |
