The 10 Fastest Production Electric Skateboards (in 2023)

We are living in a world where time is a pricey commodity, and therefore we thrive for seeking opportunities to save time whenever possible. We like to travel fast, we love fast cars, fast bikes, fast planes and now we are looking for fast electric skateboards. E-boards have become increasingly more popular over the last years. They are very practical for commuting because they are small, mobile, convenient and above all, they are really fun to ride.

When we introduce electric skateboards to people who haven’t seen them before, we can expect that one of the first questions will be how fast they can go. Top speed fascinates all of us. The ability to drive and ride fast, the adrenaline rush and the power that is behind top speed is very enthralling. So, what are the fastest electric skateboards?

Fastest Electric Skateboards:

I’ve done a lot of research and came up with this list. These are the fastest electric skateboards that are commercially available. Please note that there are a lot of DIY (do-it-yourself) e-boards that can probably go faster than some of the models mentioned in the list below. However, I didn’t want my article to be about single garage built boards (respect to all the builders out there) but rather on actually accessible boards. It’s also important to be aware that the top speeds listed here are the manufacturer provided and advertised specs for their boards.​​​

In my article, I want to talk about the ten fastest electric skateboards on the planet. So, which are the fastest electric skateboards on the market right now?

Bioboards Plutonium

Bioboards is a relatively new company that started in Sweden. It was founded in 2018 from DIY electric skateboard builders who wanted the best of the best. They could not find what they were looking for, so they decided to build the best electric skateboard (from their point of view). Their flagship is called the Plutonium.

The company states that the board has absolutely everything you could wish for in an electric skateboard. Like the name says it has a four-wheel drive. I think the specs do a lot of the talking for themselves. However, please keep in mind that the company is pretty new and the production volume isn’t very high so production and shipping take time.

BajaBoards

Actually, I’m going to talk about three different electric skateboards in this section. That’s because the Bajaboard company offers different models which are all high-end boards. These are the Bajaboard Pantera, Bajaboard G4X, and Bajaboard G4. The company is located in Australia and its boards enjoy a good reputation and can boast with great reviews. The first thing you will notice is the big wheels their boards have. These e-boards are made for all-terrain and off-road adventures. It also has a special suspension system with shock absorbers which gives their boards that signature look.

The remote controller is hands down the most advanced and best-designed controller I’ve ever seen. You can customize every setting you can think of and it also has a vibration warning. The controller will warn you when you’re low on battery or if you’re going too fast by signaling with that vibration. The board comes with integrated headlights and taillights. You will likely get to use the BajaBoard in much rougher and dirtier environments than your average e-skateboard, so it that’s what you’re looking for, you’re on the right path! Be aware that the production volume is not very high, so manufacturing and shipping will take quite some time.

MetroboardX

Metroboard is with over 10 years one of the oldest players on the market. It’s probably also on the most reputable eskate companies right now. The MetroboardX comes with either street or all-terrain wheels, depending on your needs. You can also choose between different gearing (Pulley Sizes). With the AT Wheels and the 52 tooth Wheel Pulleys, the board offers you 36 mph Top Speed.

The street wheels reach an advertised range of 30 miles on a single charge. This is far from measly and will likely work for most daily commuters. The board is designed to be convenient, and its dynamic design and the automatic belt tensioning system makes changing its wheels and belts an easy and convenient process. The carbon fiber deck has a dropped platform to keep your feet stable on the board, which is especially helpful when you hit top speeds.

Onsra Black Carve 2

Onsra was founded by Fabian Doerig, one of the biggest Eskate Youtubers out there. The Black Carve 2 comes in two variations, with Belt or Direct motors. Both offer similar specs, but the Belt Drive can be upgraded to AT (pneumatic) wheels as well. There are a lof positive reviews out there on the original Black Carve.

The Black Carve 2 is pretty new so we have to wait for the reviews to tickle in but the new board features some serious upgrades. The board is longer, looks better, uses a new ESC, and has a bigger battery. The new ESC allows the board to run more current, resulting in a more powerful board. The new deck houses a larger battery and thus provides more stability. The bigger 658 Wh battery will give you a whopping range of 32 miles (52 km).

The Black Carve 2 will lose some responsiveness, but it will be much more stable, which I think is the definitely right move for this kind of board. Depending on the wheel and pulleys you choose it can accelerate you up to 35 mph (56 km/h). Pretty damn fast!

Eskating Dual Beast Evo

The Dual dual Beast Evo has risen from the DIY (do-it-yourself) “esk8” electric skateboard scene. It’s made by a guy named Alberto who’s very active on the most popular e-skate forum on the internet. This board has great reviews and an awesome reputation.

Almost all of the forum members love this board, partly because you have a lot of options to customize it. For example, you can change the Drive setup (trucks, motor mount, pulleys, etc.) Additionally, you can change the wheels from normal street wheels all the way up to big inflating all-terrain wheels, and of course, you can upgrade your battery as well. Please note that you’ll only be able to reach the 34 mph (55 km/h) with this upgraded battery.

Unfortunately, they’re not allowed to ship the battery pack overseas so the whole e-board is available in the EU only. However, you can order the e-board without the battery overseas as well. Outside of the EU, you don’t have to pay the Italian VAT (Value-Added Tax), so the board will cost you 22% less.

Specs

Top Speed	34 mph (55 km/h)
Range	25 – 47 miles (40 – 75 km)
Battery Size	420 or 630 Wh
Weight	26 pounds (12 kg)

Meepo AWD Pro

Until now all the boards in my list well exceeded the price of $2,000. Well, now it comes to a big break. The fifth-fastest electric skateboard is a board that only costs $700! So, price-wise, it is located in the mid-tier e-board range, but performance-wise it beats well-known boards.

Meepo was founded by Kieran Mao after he in the spring of 2017 posted a video online of him building his own electric skateboard, causing him to de swamped with requests and orders for his creation by skateboard enthusiasts. Meepo operates out of Shenzen, China, but they’ve become popular internationally. Meepo describes their goal as being making electric skateboarding more accessible to the masses, thus encouraging it to be an ecological mode of transportation.

The Meepo AWD Pro is, as the name suggests, an improved version of the previous AWD. Instead of having 4 hub motors clocking in at 1200 Watts combined, the Pro’s 4 hub motors total at an impressive 2160 watts of power. The board is designed with 7-ply Canadian maple and 2-ply bamboo. It’s designed for quick acceleration and braking, to ensure a smooth ride with much control. This is the fastest Meepo boards to date, reaching top speeds of up to 34 mph (55 km/h). While this e-boards isn’t exactly the fastest on the list, this model is designed to perform powerfully with heavier riders, even uphill, in comparison to other models.

Meepo NLS Pro

The Meepo NLS Pro is the follower board of the Meepo NLS, an already notably successful board. The company was founded in 2017 in China, so they are still pretty young, but they have already made a name for themselves! Today they’re well-known in the market and, in my opinion, they are one of the market leaders of the budget board field.

Their products are great and most of the users can’t do else but recommend Meepo. The shipping time is around 2 weeks. They offer free shipping to the majority of countries. The only drawback with Meepo is that the company is located in China so customer support is not the fastest. Understandably, the English level of the employees is not top-notch (I might say I can relate). However, they are genuinely eager to help and Kiran, the founder of the company, is very present on YouTube and Reddit.

Exway X1 Pro

Now, the output power remains high even if the battery is drained. Some users report that the deck is very stiff, not flexible in the slightest. At higher speeds or on rough pavement, the vibrations will not be dampened – which, in turn, lowers the riding experience. Your feet and knees will have to get used to heavy vibrations. But Exway is aware of this and tries to counteract with big wheels and by applying 3mm shock-absorbing grip tape on the deck. The Exway App is also noteworthy, as it allows you to customize your settings, updating ongoing firmware and real on-time data output.

The Exway X1 Pro is the follower board of the Exway X1. The Exway X1 model enjoyed great popularity and X1 Pro – well, it is obviously the improved version. It has a very stealthy and sleek design. All the components are built into the deck, meaning that at first glance, it resembles a regular longboard. The fully enclosed hub motor has a total of 2400 watts. The board is IP-55 rated and therefore, it’s officially water-resistant. Although Exway had some initial problems with its battery (it experienced voltage sag), the company has learned from the initial mistakes and since upgraded the firmware.

One unique feature about the Exway X1 Pro is its ability to change the driving system from hub to belt motors just in 5 minutes. This swappable drivetrain module is called the “Riot”. No other company that I know of offers this feature. Well done Exway!

Backfire G3 Plus

The Backfire G3 Plus is an improved version of the G3. With a bigger range, more powerful hub motors and light, flexible carbon fiber design, this board is best suited for the lighter riders. It sports Dual 600Wh hub motors and a 346 Wh battery, which is larger than the usual G3. However, the maximum weight capacity of the rider is recommended to be 210lb (95kg) and the charging time is 3.5h, a devolvement from G3’s 240lb (110kg) weight capacity and 2h charging time.

Which Factors Determine Top Speed

The top speed of electric skateboards is determined by a multitude of factors. The most important ones are the rider’s weight and motor power. That said, several other factors like battery power output, electric speed controller type, gearing, and wheel size are also essential. On top of that, electric skateboards, which can travel at very high speeds, have to be produced very consciously. A good, high-speed e-board requires both special attention to detail and quality compartments when being built. When riding at high speeds many parts of e-boards experience high temperatures, physical stress, and severe vibrations when in use. E-boards with higher top speeds need to have good trucks to avoid speed wobbles. They obviously need reliable brakes, too! As expected, all of these aspects contribute to higher prices, so consider yourself forewarned if you want to purchase an electric skateboard with A-1 kinds of maximum speeds. You might end up having to dig deep into your pocket.

• Motor power: To get a high top speed powerful motors are a must. The more power a motor has, the quicker the electric skateboard can accelerate and the higher is the maximum speed. If you want to get a fast electric skateboard you need to take one with a powerful motor. 

• Battery power output: Strong electric motors are pretty ineffective if the battery doesn’t have the same power output as well. The motor can only deliver and transfer the same amount of power that it gets from the battery. 

• Rider’s weight: While electric skateboards alone have an impressive power-to-weight ratio comparable to the fastest Tesla, an e-board with the rider on it only produces a modest power-to-weight ratio akin to a Toyota Prius. The bigger and the heavier a rider is, the slower an e-board will be. This means that large and heavy riders weights will not get you the advertised maximum speeds presented in the tables above and below.

• Electric speed controller (ESC): The ESC is an electronic part and mechanism that regulates the drive and the speed of the motor. The ESC supplies the motor with the ideal amount of electric power, so fast e-boards need one that’s capable and optimized for top speed. 

• Wheel size: Bigger wheels mean your board has a higher top speed but results in slower acceleration and less torque. Smaller wheels have lower top speed but quicker acceleration and more torque. Off-Road or all-terrain wheels will add a lot of riding comfort but also have a decreased top speed and significantly lower range because of the friction and drag.

• Battery charge: The amount of charge in the battery will influence how fast an e-board goes as well. As power in the battery drains, its capability to reach and maintain top speed falls. Many e-board riders experience a reduction in performance when the battery gets below a particular percentage. 

• Gear ratio: An electric motor doesn’t need more than one gear because it is high revving (20.000 RPM are still fine). It is efficient across a broad RPM range and it produces good torque from low RPM. An electric motor can easily be geared for top speed while still providing good torque and acceleration. E-boards that are designed to go fast also need a proper gear ratio (just belt motors). Hub motors are “direct driven” which means 1:1 drive ratio.

Challenges for Electric Skateboard Manufacturers

A fast electric skateboard is not very easy to manufacture. Achieving higher-speeds on an electric skateboard requires special engineering. The motors, the battery pack, the brakes, the deck, the trucks, the wheel size, and the electric speed controller should be highly optimized to achieve trustworthy and efficient high speeds. As such, the majority of mass-produced electric skateboards are not going very fast. That, of course, is okay – the majority of customers are not experienced and skilled enough to make a good choice in buying such fast boards.

The greatest hurdle for electric skateboard companies is to design and assemble an e-board that will not only achieve high speeds but will also last long enough to be a worthwhile purchase for their users. Remember that at high speed, the motor, the battery pack, and the braking system (especially the regenerative brakes) have to endure higher temperatures. Furthermore, the deck, the wheels, the trucks, and every other component on the e-board experiences vibrations and other physical stress that they need to resist.

These reasons make it quite challenging for electric skateboard brands to build e-boards with high maximum speeds. This, however, does not mean that they are not trying. In fact, with each passing year, faster boards come to the market.

Advantages of Fast Electric Skateboards

With fast electric skateboards, you are overall just quicker. You will get through towns and cities faster. The major advantage is that you’ve got more power. Even if you don’t use these high top speeds the boards with high maximum speeds are more powerful and therefore accelerate quicker. Usually, you have more torque and acceleration, too, which means you can travel up hills easier.

Advantages of fast eboards:

• Fast overall electric vehicle
• More power
• Better acceleration and toques
• Better hill climbing ability  

Disadvantages of Fast E-boards

Fast, electric skateboards also come with disadvantages. If an e-board is fast it has to have a powerful motor and battery, and these components make the board heavier. You have to be aware that with a fast electric skateboard you will get a heavy one, too. The heavier parts and building structure will also make the board bulkier overall. Besides, if you often use the available top speeds your board will probably not have a long lifespan. The high speeds will produce lots of heat and increase the physical stress on the parts of your boards, which will lend to the board experiencing more damage over time. Another point to consider is that the faster your board is, the smaller is the possibility that your electric skateboard is or will be legal at a future date. In most of the countries and states, electric skateboards are illegal to ride on the street. In many countries and states, laws regarding e-boards have not been made yet. Therefore, there is a pretty big possibility that at some point our e-boards will be legal to ride. However, the future laws that might come about will most likely restrict speed in some ways.

• Heavier
• Bulkier
• A small possibility that they are legal
• Better for skilled riders
• When ridden fast often, the boards will not have not a long lifespan

What Else to Consider When Buying a Fast Electric Skateboard

Riding Skills

Many of the boards on my list are not well suited for beginners. Some companies even advertise their boards as not amateur friendly. I don’t want to destroy the fun but you should have serious riding skills if you want to go fast. Almost all of the boards have different speeds and riding settings so you don’t have to ride fast if you don’t want to.

Safety Concerns

The kinetic energy of a moving object increases in proportion to the square of the speed. In other words, if you are traveling at 20mph (32 km/h) will get 4 times the damage (and do 4 times the damage too) to someone riding 10mph (16 km/h). At 40mph (64 km/h) (and yes there are e-boards out there that can reach this speed) you will have 16 times higher impact energy!

Moreover, if you drive with higher speeds you have less time to react and your stopping distance will be longer too! If you double your velocity your stopping distance will be tripled.

Protective Gear

If we crash we don’t have a thick protection layer out of metal as we have in cars. All we got is our protective gear (helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads), our clothes and ultimately our skin to shield us. If you want to know more about the perfect helmets for e-skating, check out my article here. Please ride with reasonable speed and always wear your protective gear!

How Fast Can Other Electric Skateboards Go?

Maybe you want to know how fast other electric skateboards can go. Well, on average electric skateboards can go from 18 to 28 mph (29 – 45 km/h). If you didn’t like the boards I talked about, here are additional fast electric skateboard models.

Electric skateboard model	Top speed in mph	Top speed in km/h
Evolve GTR	26 mph	42 km/h
Halobaord 2	26 mph	42 km/h
Meepo NLS	26 mph	42 km/h
Ownboard W2	26 mph	42 km/h

How to Ride More Safely When Pushing the Throttle

• Practice and master your board’s braking
• Train emergency braking techniques and to “fall right”
