@bentossell It looks like it's pretty cheap. like 2 times cheaper than boosted. It looks like a total copy though :/. The name and colours. Good price, maybe good product, that marketing though :/
@bentossell I can see that first they used hub motors, so no straps to replace and since the hub motors are sealed no water or dust damage possible. Probably less powerful, but much more affordable. And yes, I wished they had at the very lease their own colour to differentiate from the orange Boosted Boards.
Awesome to see you are from Red Deer!!! I've wanted an electric longboard for a long time now. Great to see the comparison (and PRICE!) compared to Boosted! Although the Boosted website shows 22mph and 25º incline.
My biggest concern is about battery safety. How do I know this isn't going to cause fires like the hoverboards?
Can I save on shipping by visiting you in Red Deer?

Hey Tom! Battery safety is a big deal for us and was a major consideration in developing the Juiced Board. One of the big factors with battery safety is the balance between capacity and output. Our selected battery conforms to the UN 38.3 battery standard.
UN 38.3 testing includes tests for heat, vibration, shock, external short circuits, impact, overcharge, & forced discharge. This standard is one of the major determining factors of a battery being considered airline safe.
We worked hard to balance performance with that battery capacity/output and went through many revisions of batteries, hardware and programing to land with our final version of our product.
