    Marbel vs. Boosted vs. Evolve

    People go a loooooong way on our boards - especially the ones with the bigger batteries. Check out one rider's recent posts:

    Our weight-sensing control scheme requires slightly different footwork than you'd be used to riding a longboard, but once you get the hang of it there is nothing quite like it. In my opinion (and obviously I recognize I'm super biased), not only is it more fun buts its also wayyy more convenient...

    Though they are both very important, deck thin-ness and weight are really more related to cosmetics and carrying situations, rather than the actual riding experience. At ZBoard we really try to optimize for the riding experience (what you'll be doing 95% of the time) rather than when you're...

    Weight Sensing Longboard with Inline Wheel Motors

    One benefit of weight-sensing boards is the ability to pick it up and still have a hand free (to open doors, your trunk, etc). This is becoming less of an issue now that controllers are getting smaller, but back when they were bigger you couldn't put them in your pocket easily. Also its nice to...

    Legal?

    We're definitely excited about this development. As most of the electric companies are based here in CA we're seeing more and more boards on the roads, especially in SF and in the beach cities of LA. This legislation will hopefully clarify the rules for everyone.
