 all right so if you've been watching the channel for a little bit now you know that I am a big fan of electric skateboards I think they're super convenient I think they're the easiest ways to get around a college campus especially when it's as big as Princeton and last year I did have the Acton Blink S2 board but there were a few problems with it it was acting up a little bit and I wasn't too happy with the performance of it so when Boosted Board announced their new Boosted Board MIDI S I instantly decided to pick one up because I've been looking for a new electric skateboard and you guys know that Boosted Board is probably one of the best on the market right now now the reason I want for a boosted mini series rather than just the regular boosted boards is that since I want a college campus the range I'll be needing is maybe seven to ten miles max per day and that's given that I'm riding a lot so I decided to go for the mini because it's just way more portable and a lot lighter. I went for the Mini S instead of the Mini X which is their higher version of the Boosted Mini series because once again I don't need that extended range battery life I don't need the extra two miles per hour that it can do I think that the top speed on this is about so the top speed on this is up to 18 miles per hour which is plenty fast enough and the range is up to seven miles so getting up and down campus a few times a day like this board will be perfect to cover all that distance. A couple other cool features of this is that it obviously comes with a boosted app so you can check the battery life on your phone and check how many miles you've been riding. There's also regenerative breaking in that every time you break it charges up the battery a little bit so you can you know save a little bit battery and get home if you need to. There's three different ride modes beginning to expert just depending on how much you've been skateboarding and if you're brand new to electric skateboards and so yeah let's just open this bad boy up. Now for the record this video is not sponsored I emailed Boosted reaching out if they were interested in sponsoring. They didn't get back to me so I ended up purchasing it myself. This board retails for $750 which is a bit on the price here and but if you're comparing it to other electric skateboards it's a little bit more affordable and it's also an investment if I'm gonna be at school for another couple years. Alright so on the box it says getting there. Now it also comes with this accessory box. Really nice packaging good job Boosted. So this is obviously the infamous Boosted remote which kind of has the accelerate and decelerate in the brakes. They also come up with some stickers, the charging cable and then another charging cable. Alright so I quickly read through the instruction manual. Not that I normally need it but the board itself is relatively small. It's a little heavier than I expected but I mean that's what you get with an electric skateboard. They're never gonna be super light. On the bottom is the battery pack with the wheels. I really like these orange colors and since we're at Princeton. The cool thing about Boosted boards is that their motors are belt suspension meaning that it can go a little faster and have more revolutions so that you're getting the most out of your motors rather than having like a single hub or dual hub motor compared to other electric skateboards. Now the biggest thing and the reason that Boosted boards are so hyped about is their build quality. Just feeling this thing it feels super sturdy. It feels like it will not break down on me like my other board. It feels that it will last me a definitely a couple years. Luckily the board and the battery have already come pretty charged so in order to start the board you press the button then the wheel. So you can just hear it and that sounds fast so I think I'm gonna go test it out and give you guys my first impressions of the first ride. Hard to get used to but I think I figured it out. Alright I'm gonna change this to the extreme mode and just kind of see how it goes. It doesn't do well for like hard braking but deceleration so
