Hey thanks for the upload. Been trying to research how legal they are here.. seems all the laws say only on private land, and downtown says your not aloud to even skateboard.. have you had any issues with this?
It's been fine for me. It seems that as long as your not obnoxious, no one will bother you. I'm probably going to sell my board since I bike mostly now but boosted boarding is so much fun!
Hey Rob! If you see this I started an Electric Longboard community in Reddit for Calgary since there isn't any yet. I called it ElectricLongboardYYC if you want to search for it and join.
Very tempting... I am pretty attached to my board so probably not, but feel free to make me an offer at rjschrage@gmail.com and I can mull over the idea.
+FakePlastickTree I haven't had any issues yet. It seems like as long as you're on a bike path and not interfering with others then you're ok. These days I honestly don't trust it to go on roads downtown due to the traffic lights signalling interfering with the bluetooth with the board. Had a few cases when the board would not respond, and I needed to kick push through an intersection. Not fun when there are cars behind you.
+Rob Schrage nice video. I live nearby in Calgary am Interested in getting an electric skateboard. Are you out and about on yours these days? Would be cool if you could give my sons and I a demo. Also keen to know how it is holding up a year or so on.
+Rob Schrage Thanks for getting back to me, Rob. My sons are keen to see your board and you riding it. Might Friday afternoon or early evening work? This weekend could work, too. We live near Kensington Rd. and 19th St, but could meet you wherever. My phone contact is (403) 971-3784, if that is easier. Best, MM
Hi Matthew, Sunday might actually be the best day for me but I'll text you and we can set up a time to demo the boosted board. Until then! Best way to contact me is at rjschrage@gmail.com
Wow this is the dream. I was thinking about getting a boosted board once I get into uni, but man they're expensive... :''(
+Phuong Yeah it definitely is pricey. But it saves me $100/month on bus passes, so it works out.

Cool, thanks!
are you going top speed here or average?
thanks for the video
I am going full speed. It's quite a rush!
Where can you buy these in Calgary? I've been doing some googling but can't find any.
I ordered from their website
Awesome! If you are interested in selling yours let me know! maybe you can go and get the ver. 2 then! ;-)

What do the cops say about them in Calgary? I'm moving back soon.

Rob Schrage cool thanks!
How do you like your board?
I love it man! Feels like surfing on land.

+Matthew McClure I'll most likely be riding this week. Could definitely show it off after work one day in Sunnyside.
