I am thoroughly enjoying this board
Right off the bat I want to make a disclaimer that I haven’t had any time with a similar product, so I’m only reviewing this board based on the value of the price point and how it meets my expectations. I have put 70 km on this board so I have had a lot of time to review the quality and its features.First, my expectations:To have a electric longboard that reaches an exciting speed and lasts long enough to get in a good ride AND, most importantly, all at an affordable price.First observations.The board arrived in a box within the Amazon packaging so the board was snug inside these two layers of cardboard and also encased in foam. Upon taking the board out of the packaging, I realized how heavy these boards really are but it makes sense because the board is thick and seemed to be of good quality, and then the battery and motors are obvious contributors to the weight. The design is simple and stands out from the other models on the market. I was pleased to see the light included in its own packaging because the seller has clearly considered the importance for this addition for night riding but didn’t want it to draw from the battery of the board. I just wrapped the light around the rear truck. It’s easy to turn on/off with a press of the face of the lamp. The remote for the board is small and the buttons are all easily discernible after a quick reference in the manual provided. The light On the remote is actually useful for flashing at anyone that may not see you on the street or for sporting rocks in your path. Cool addition. I was pleasantly surprised to see the two spare wheels provided, too. Lastly, I like using the front and rear orange protective bumpers for visibility and for protection in the case that I run the board’s nose into a curb or wall (or even someone’s car wheel ...)First ride.The board came with a decent charge so I was able to take the board out and ride it right out of the box. This thing is zippy and responsive, so start with the remote on ‘L’ to avoid injury or damage of the board. I can imagine someone testing the remote with the board and sending it right into traffic. Don’t learn this on a busy street, for the love of all things! Anyway, I quickly worked my way up from medium to high and was excited that there is a ‘H+’ setting. On a flat street, I was able to reach 28km/h. I weight 230 lbs and the board handle my weight fine. The acceleration is moderate and decreases with the waring of the battery. After my first full recharge, I was able to reach 30km/h on flat bumpy street and the charge lasted about an hour but my calves were in knots before then. On New Years Eve, me and my two brothers were able to take turns and ride about a 2-3 miles each with a single charge. (They both want one now). Braking sensitivity is adjustable with four settings (B1, B2, B3, B4). I also noticed that the instructions say that you can toggle between forward and reverse motion with a button but my remote has a switch on the side that I find no use for. In all the years I have ridden skateboards, I’ve never wanted to be able to ride backward. I guess I’m actually happy that the remote is not the way the instruction say it should be.After a few charges.The board has continued to be consistent in performance. I’ve charged the battery 6-7 times and the battery lasts longer than my legs can stand. :) One other thing I should mention is that the board still is great even when the battery is dead. If I need to kick push, it’s not a problem because there’s no drag from the motors.Disappointments.Not much, really. One of the first things I wanted to customize was the km/h to mph but it doesn’t give the option. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to have the option.Turning radius is also one of the first things you have to get used to. This board requires a wide area for its wide turns but I have a manual long board and this is typical in the long boards. Just be aware. All of the people that took my board for a spin mentioned the turn radius but also didn’t really seem to mind it. It was just an observation.Summary.I’ve wanted an electric skateboard for about 2 years but I’ve never been able to justify the price tag. This board popped up and I decided to take a chance and haven’t been disappointed with the value nor the experience. I recommend this product to anyone that is in the market and wants to save on the price tag, especially if the board will be for hobby only and not to be your daily transportation (although, as far as I can tell, this board would do well for that application, too, if your destination is within range of this board’s battery capacity).Any other features I haven’t mentioned are great but didn’t need any specific comments.

Good first time e board
First off I just got this so cannot review the battery life or the life of the board yet. I received this a week early. Only took a few days to get. I'm 200 lbs and its max speed is 18.5 mph. Seems pretty powerful. Braking works well just make sure you start on braking level 1. Don't mash it, just ease back lightly. It doesn't turn very sharp but I haven't tried loosening the trucks yet so I think I can get it a little more nimble. There are 4 modes of speed and braking. I don't think you can use it without the motor because the powered wheels don't spin as freely. This is my first e board so I can't compare it to others. I would recommend it for beginners or regular boarders. Based on others I've researched this one seems to be middle of the road. Not the largest battery life or speed but better than many and seems priced accordingly. I'll have y dig in deeper the next few weeks.

Remote did not hold a charge
When we first got the board it was great. It rode well, charged well and we thought it was a good purchase. My son to it to college with him since we did not have a car. Within one week of being at school, the remote failed to charge and the board no longer worked, except manually. We tried to pair the remote to the board again to see if that helped, but as soon as we turned on the remote, it shut off. Eventually, it would not turn on at all. A manual electric board is useless really due to the weight of the board. We contacted the seller and they were of no help at all. Since buying the product, it is no longer in stock, and we are unable to purchase another remote. For these reasons, we are returning it.

Great board with one major flaw that has a workaround
The controller cannot be charged through a wall socket it must be plugged into a laptop USB to even charge. The kyng company was not able to advise me of this I discovered it on my own after I'd already reported my first controller dysfunctional. They did send me another controller very quickly which of course did not work either because I was trying to plug it into the wall socket. Once I figured out how to charge the controller this board is a dream come true. Light maneuverable fast powerful an overall great ride.

Put this board in your cart and purchase! Amazing board!!
I have been longboarding for the past 8 years and it’s one of my favorite hobbies! I’ve always wanted an electric longboard and after saving enough, I bought this one. It is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It’s Everything I’ve ever wanted in a board. A bit heavy, but it’s very well built and the battery lasts pretty long! It takes a little bit to get used to the initial thrust and break, but after riding for a few minutes and miles you get the hang of it. I’ve hit 20-22mph on a smooth road and it’s a great speed for cruising! I love speed and I’m super happy with how fast it can go. Also works great as a Normal push board (moreso down hill). It’s a little heavy to push, but still rides nice. Lower turn radius than what I’m used to but I’m getting used to it.Incredible product and would recommend to anyone looking for an upgrade. I still absolutely love my normal longboard, but this one is on a WHOLE ‘nother level! If you’re searching for the right electric longboard, you’ve found it! You will love it and no be disappointed!
