Boosted 105’s – PHAT Wheels

/in /by

Boosted Board have dropped some bigger wheels! The Boosted 105’s.

Firstly, they want to make transportation fun, fast and simple. The Boosted 105’s are designed to allow riders to ride with confidence. These new wheels will bring a smooth ride, the 105’s are a great size and are very soft too! Bringing with it a very smooth ride!

With the Boosted 105’s you are free to cruise the streets of your city with confidence. As you are able to cruise all over the cracks and bumps in the road with no problem at all! Therefore, just focus on the road and and enjoy the ride ahead!

They’re uniquely designed and Boosted’s engineers have spent hours testing geometries, experimenting with grips and optimizing shock absorption. The result of all that hard work is the Boosted 105’s! Extra soft wheels means extra grippy! The 72a durometer urethane delivers a comfortable ride, giving you extra cushion but firm enough to remain durable for thousands of miles. While the rounded edge of the side walls enhance the smoothness of the ride. There’s less chipping and easier curb climbing. Furthermore the larger wheel to gear ratio will give the Boosted Board a higher top speed! However, in exchange for a higher top speed, acceleration and braking performance is ride feel. So therefore riders will have to make adjustments as the stopping distance will be greater!

The Boosted 105’s are 30% larger than standard wheels and smooth out the terrain. As they feature something called a custom urethane pouring process, which form 12 hollow pockets on the inside surface of each wheel. These pockets give extra space, which allows the soft urethane to flex and compress with the bumps and contours of the road. While not only making the ride smooth but maintaining contact with even the roughest of roads.

Boosted Beams – Boost in the dark!

/in /by

Boosted Boards are a lot of fun, but when it gets to nighttime it can get a little tricky to ride them safely around town. Boosted have heard you loud and clear and have dropped an amazing accessory for your Board. The Boosted Beams.

Boosted Beams plug directly onto the board via an accessory port located under the trucks (2nd Gen Boards). This fully integrated design means you’ll never have to remove them. Simply charge the board and it’ll charge the lights too! When your board has power so does your lights.  They’re super bright too at a combined 600 lumens!

Ease of use

When you apply the regenerative brake via the Boosted Remote, the rear smart brake light will brighten. Alerting those behind you that you are about to stop or slowing down. Safety is a huge priority for Boosted and these lights certainly help. They’ve gone above and beyond making your Boosted experience that much more enjoyable!

Simply turn on the lights with two quick taps on your remote’s multi-button and you will have light! Two more quick taps and they’ll turn off. You can even set them to turn on automatically via the settings within the Boosted app! Riders can customize their settings, including brightness, blinking mode, and automatic turn on, based on their individual preferences.

The Boosted Beams are also very durable and are built with strong anodized aluminum. Which has been tested with vigour at the Boosted HQ. Designed to mimic real life conditions too. Therefore you can be safe in the knowledge they’ll handle whatever you dish out.

Boosted Beams are $199.00 and can be bought here!

Posted by How To Kill an Hour on Wednesday, 5 September 2018

We loved Boosted Boards here at How To Kill An Hour, if you remembered our review of  the original city slicker. If you didn’t here’s our run down of what we loved about that amazing board. We even did a little test to see how far it can go on one full charge. However, that board has now been superseded by a new line up of urban travelling personal vehicles. In today’s review, we’re taking the grand daddy of them all, the top of the line, the king of the ring, the Boosted Stealth!

It looks as good as it sounds too:

It’s really fast and even though a 2mph increase in speed doesn’t feel like a lot. Especially for those that drive 2mph is nothing.

However, when it is just you and the board and the open road. Boy oh boy, 2mph is HUGE! The top speed is only eligible for those that use the ‘hyper’ speed mode on the board. We advise riders to get used to all the other modes first before they go IN! As electric skateboards do take some getting used to. It’s not a case of getting on and pushing go! You need to practice!
