Linky Electric Longboard

Electric longboards are finally getting to that level where it’s attractive to purchase one for your commute. The Linky longboard has a handy folding mechanism, goes a long distance on a single charge and is durable, even in bad weather conditions.

Linky Longboard Features

The Linky longboard was initially funded on Indiegogo back in 2016 and has ran a successful campaign, earning close to $300,000.

Its onboard motor packs quite a bit of power, allowing a person up to 100kg to reach speeds up to 18.6 mph (30km/h). It’s powerful enough to take a 12% incline.

The fast charger that’s available separately, allows you to get an 85% charge in 30 minutes. The battery on the Linky board also recharges when you brake, so going downhill gets you some extra distance when you take it easy.

Now you may think that with all these specs you’ll get a heavyweight board that needs a weightlifter to carry it around conveniently. Well, it’s among the lightest electric longboards on the market, weighing only 12.1 pounds.
