The Boosted Board Mini X is an electric skateboard. It's also something that I want. Originally I wanted to get the Boosted Plus and the Boosted Stealth, but with this one, its cheaper and has practically all I want(sadly its not a longboard, but gotta save the money right) and gets the job done.
Why do I want it?
For travel. From what I hear, it works great at that. Getting around without a car, this can be a pretty good replacement. I don't need to travel far, so the range of 10 miles(on the max speed mode) works perfectly, and I can charge at my destinations.
Its also a lot cheaper than getting a car. $1,000 plus helmet sure beats a car + insurance + gas.
It also looks fun. I used to ride longboards until I crashed mine, and so this would be a fun upgrade.
Am I going to get it?
Honestly, probably? This seems like a solid purchase that I'd use daily. I've made stupid purchases in the past that I haven't used often, but looking at this, it would be a great last mile vehicle. But we never know. We'll find out soon enough.
