When I got it out of the box I thought, wow, what a well-made and solid board, wide wheels, and sick design. The trucks are strong and accurate, and the bearings are smooooth. Charging went quickly and then we were off to the races! Actually, I didn’t ride it at full speed because this thing will fly! The left rear wheel is the drive wheel, but with the weight of a person on the board you can’t tell. 3-speeds plus several braking-levels, reverse, and even cruise control! I was a few pounds over the maximum recommended weight, and it didn’t seem to impede performance. Keep the remote strapped to your wrist, and learn where everything is on it before you ride. You'll need to watch where you're going! : )
