Usually takes less than 45 min as advertised. And this is the fist skateboard I've had since I was 16, almost 20 years ago. Keep in mind I've never been on any other electric board. Overall it's been widely positive, and I thought I'd break down the pros and cons. I've had it now for two weeks, and have put on about 40 miles. After doing a little cursory research I decided to try one out and ordered one for the main reason that I could get one within a week. Then I stumbled on Acton and the Blink S. It's 34.75x14, so too small for most long boards, and my top choices, like a boosted or evolve bamboo gt. That day I headed to the gym and measured the locker (I'm sure I got looks, haha). if I could find a board that fits in the locker, it would be the perfect solution. I had stopped going to the gym for the last 6 months and really had been missing it, then it finally dawned on me. I work in downtown/midtown Sacramento, and the gym I go to has been getting harder and harder to get too, park and get a workout in the time I have for my lunch hour, mainly because of a new arena they built right next to it (not complaining about the arena, just a lot more traffic in the area now).

Fast forward to about a month ago and I finally figured out a way way to truly justify getting a board. But never could justify it, the money and the lack of time to ride (work, kids, life etc etc) were the main reasons. Uphill climbing is really not an option, as the board struggles to overcome a 7 degree incline.So I've been wanting an electric board for well over a year now. The board is really made for travel on smooth, flat surfaces. This, again, is due to the compact size of the ACTON BLINK. The maximum rider’s weight, recommended by the manufacturer, is 180 pounds. The maximum speed is 10 miles per hour, and that varies depending on terrain and rider’s weight. The little board won’t win any speed races either. You can, however, use the board as a normal skateboard when the motor is off or the battery is dead. Whereas other boards might allow you to travel ten or more miles on a charge, the ACTON BLINK only travels about 5 miles before the battery dies. It takes over 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

The battery recharge time is ridiculously long. Unfortunately, due to its compact size, the ACTON BLINK doesn’t measure up to the bigger boards in terms of performance and speed. back to menu ↑ Acton Blink Lite Electric Skateboard Review Other outstanding features include a wireless remote control, regenerative braking, and a smartphone app that will track your mileage and speed. Equipped with LED light strips, for safety and visibility, the BLINK is aptly named. This little board only measures 30 inches long and weighs just 7 pounds. The ACTON BLINK is nowhere near that bulky. That’s a lot of board, especially for a preteen or teenager. Many of the other electric boards available today are 36 to 40 inches long, and weigh 10 to 15 pounds. The difference between those boards and this one is the motor. With a shaped nose and tail, the ACTON BLINK is reminiscent of the classic boards of the 80’s. We have to begin with the amazing size and weight of this board. Lightweight doesn’t describe its features though.

It is the lightest electric board on the market. The 30 inch board weights in at just 7 pounds. The ACTON BLINK Electric Skateboard, made by ACTON Global in Silicon Valley, California, has set the bar high when it comes to quality and functionality of an electric skateboard.
