Hi! We've had a lot of people asking the difference between our product and the ones you can find on Alibaba, which is legit because they look similar (https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/p... ) The only common point is that the motors are made by the same manufacturer. Our board has a single motor (they have 2 smaller motors). Our wheels are much larger (83mm) and the PU is better (78A high rebound, we sourced the manufacturer ourselves). Our deck comes from one of the best deck manufacturers in China. It's super hard maple and we designed the shape ourselves (we made around 50 prototypes to come to our final design). The battery and electronics we use are also custom made the software settings too. We are currently finalizing the design of our own remote control. All these things are hard to see on a photo. Our engineering and design team is based in China and we know all the Chinese companies that offer these kinds of electric skateboard. They do great at making products that look similar to our design and cutting the prices using different materials and skipping quality control processes. We've tried all these manufacturers' ready-to-sell products (OEM) and I can tell you that they don't pay attention to details and quality. That's what we've been working on for 2 years : We select the best manufacturers and work with them (1 component = 1 different supplier) to match our very specific requirements. I'll be happy to answer further questions Quentin

I believe Acton makes a smaller, lighter board http://shop.actonglobal.com/prod... *I'm not affiliated with Acton at all.

@morewillie Yes they do. It's all about choosing the right combination between size/power/weight/range. Our board is a little faster and range is longer.

Why would I get this instead of a Boosted Board 2.0?

@akaanksh_raj It's much lighter, versatile and affordable. Boosted boards are good at making very powerful boards. We are good at making very practical and versatile ones

@etienne_bourdon Arc Board is more expensive and they are not very advanced in manufacturing (for example all their plastic parts are still 3D printed. there's a long way to go for mass production). They don't have in-wheel motors so you can't use it if you're out of battery. Their performance specs are pretty good but I believe it's not going to be very comfortable to ride because their deck is really short and the drive belt produces a lot of drag. There's no free-wheel (that's just my assumption though, I haven't tested it).
