With their popularity rising every day, electric skateboards are definitely a thing of the future, especially for young people. Right now an electric skateboard is probably the fastest people-mover that is available out there for purchase.
However, the best option is to buy one that is ready-made.
As you probably already figured you hop on the electric skateboard and you use the remote control tool to basically drive your electric skateboard. Truth be told it’s much easier to ride an electronic one than a normal one. We have compiled a list of the best electric skateboards so make sure you keep reading.
Our top choices include the Razor X Longboard, and the Razor X electric skateboard.
RazorX Longboard Electric Skateboard
The RazorX Longboard is an electric skateboard with a powerful 125 watt lithium ion battery that delivers an electrifying 10mph at up to 40 minutes. The RazorX Longboard is constructed of high-end 5-ply bamboo that gives the riders a smooth and satisfying ride.
The RazorX Longboard comes with a wireless remote control that includes a wrist strap to prevent dropping. The RazorX comes with a replaceable battery pack which is nice if your electric longboard gets a lot of use. This saves you from buying a new skateboard when all you need is a new battery.

Razor Ripstik Electric Caster Board
Another Razor product which is probably the best electric skateboard you can get if it’s your first time and you just want to see how these things look. The reason I am saying this is because the Ripstik is “the” cheap electric skateboard to go to.
It features a strong 100 watt motor which allows the speed to go up to 10mph. The Ripstik is limited though when it comes to weight support because it will only support a rider up to 143 pounds. This makes the Ripstik perfect for children, however it is not the best option for adults who weigh considerably more.razor ripstick electric skateboard
Another positive thing for this model is that it is maintenance free. It doesn’t have an alignment, chain and chain tensioner which are essentially the electric skateboard parts that tend to malfunction most of the time.
Features
- 100 watt motor
- up to 10 mph
- remote control
Pros
- charge for up to 1 hour
- fast
- ideal for kids
Cons
- rider weight limit 143lbs
SWAGTRON SwagBoard NG-1 Electric Skateboard
The Swagtron is a bit different to the Cruiser in several ways. First of all it’s an electric longboard, meaning it’s a bit longer than the regular electric skateboards. This skateboard has a UL2272 certified 24V LPF battery which features additional security for the battery.swagtron electric skateboard
It goes up to 11mph and you can ride it for up to 10 miles before you need to charge it again. When it comes to electric longboard skateboards the SWAGTRON is really a bargain because it’s much cheaper than other boards with similar specifications.
According to customer reviews this board is easy to use and very light so you can carry it around. The remote screen shows how much battery you have left, so you will never be stranded. On top of that the company offers a 1 year warranty that covers most manufacturer defects.
