Electric longboards have evolved.  Many models of electric longboards are heavy and even awkward to carry.  For people wanting to go for a quick run to the grocery store, a 50 lb electric longboard can be difficult to carry in with you.  Electric longboards often aren’t cheap, so most wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving it outside.

If you want to buy an electric longboard to use for transportation purposes, the weight of the board would be something worth considering.  A bulky 50 lb electric longboard wouldn’t be the easiest thing to carry around when you aren’t riding it.

Good news for those that are looking for a lighter electric longboard.  The Metroboard is a lighter alternative to the other bulky 50 lb electric longboards.  The Metroboard varies in price and weight according to the battery type you pick.  The lightest electric longboard option weighs in at only 18 lbs.

Instead of having a handheld trigger control the longboard’s speed and braking, the Metroboard uses something that is more like a small remote control. The Metroboard electric longboard can go 16 mph, and can go a distance of 4-12 miles, depending on the battery size you choose.
