Velox Electric Off-Road Skateboards

Though we chalk up electric skateboards as another way to quickly and painfully kill ourselves, they certainly add another level of fun to outdoor trail sports. Velox makes two models that can take pretty much anything you throw at them thanks to heavy-duty and independently articulating shocks, all-terrain wheels, and brushless electric hub motors that can propel you at speeds up to 30 mph and an 18-mile range. The SX-5 is built for pavement and trail, while the more robust XC-6 can take on longer range cross-country duties with its bigger battery, more suspension travel, and larger tires. Both models have Regenerative Electrical Resistance braking for safe stops and charging aid, and each one will deliver levels of fun and danger you didn’t know were possible since you jumped a cinder block and plywood ramp with your human-powered skateboard when you were thirteen.
