Hi,
So I've decided to take the plunge and pick up one of these awesome looking boards. I figure this community has some strong opinions on which board is the superior board, and I'm eager to learn what you guys think. I live in the city, and am looking to pick this up as a commuter to work and errands which are closeby.
From what I can surmise, the Marbel may be the best bet. It's the fastest (25 mph), lightest (9.9 lbs), and cheapest ($1299). The 10 mile range is perfectly adequate for me. It also isn't shipping yet, and I worry about buying the early shipping models and having some problems that were unforeseen before mass production.
The Boosted is the 2nd lightest at 15 lbs., has a good top speed of 20 mph and has seemed to garner good reviews. Its range is only 6 miles, which worries me somewhat. It's also comfortably the most expensive board here, 54% moreso than the Marbel.
The Evolve Carbon Street model is a very nicely put together board. It has a nice top speed of 23 MPH, and an unrivaled range of 25 miles. It's a bit heavier than the above boards, but not prohibitively so, at 19 lbs. It's 27% more expensive than the Marbel.
