The boosted 2 dual + is the best choice at the price and best alternative for the evolve boards when you don't want to pay those extra bucks and you are ready to compromise with the minor lacking of features.
What I like in boosted board is their light weight, fast charging, Airlines certified batteries, Brakes and expandable battery option.
Note that the extended battery does not come with the board but instead of this you will get a 50% discount code for the purchase of that battery.
This board is best for Small cities and colleges campuses, until you have the Extended battery in your back back. Boosted company shows real data to their users, so now you know you will get what you imagined of.
Famous Youtube celebs like Casey Neistat and Sam Sheffer have reviewed both boosted and inboard and both agreed that boosted is better than Inboard. Because they live in NY and boosted is intended to serve big/metro areas, so if you need to get anywhere quick and fast then Boosted is your choice else go for Inboard.
I would personally buy this electric skateboard for me because this one fits in my needs and budget too.

Expert Review
First of all the build quality of this board is quite impressive that can be compared with boosted boards and would win at many of the points .
It's easy to kick push your board or ride downhill smoothly without batteries. Batteries can be swapped easily and they also Provide a carry bag which I think is of quite good quality.
Their phone app is not as good as boosted but good thing is that they update their firmware easily via app. They claim 7 miles battery range but actually it provide no more than 5.5 miles.
If you are a speed freak then this board is not for you, Acceleration is also not very good at all.
So, If you are okay with the slow acceleration and speed then inboard would be the best choice right there. Actually M1 purpose is more of a hybrid e-board. The hub motors actually allow you to use this board as a longboard, it does not slows down your board when rolling downhill or kick push.

The Halo board might not be among the top famous brands but the board has some very impressive specs. At this price getting a carbon fiber deck and long range and good amount of torque.
Best thing that I like about the board is that it is slim and beautiful and this is quite smooth while riding. The deck when compared to boosted is of course less flexible.d
They do not have an app, that could show battery and speed which I think is necessary. And the batteries can not be switched which I see as a drawback. Remote is quite touchy and drops connection sometimes.
So, If you want a board that looks like Evolve board and has similar features like evolve boards but you are alright with the drawbacks then Congrats you now you have a cheap evolve board.

ACTON Blink S2 board is an alternative budget motorized skateboard for those who do not want to pay for a boosted or evolve electric board. The build quality of this board is quite good with clean design furthermore the lights are good and even better than expected, moreover all the components like motor, batteries, wheels and trucks are also of high quality.
Bluetooth connection of the remote with the phone is also very strong that almost never drops, Their app contains useful features. The range and speed of this electronic skateboard is same as they advertise.
What I don't like is their remote, it could have been more good in quality as sometimes it is difficult to switch between riding modes. Another thing is that it's deck is very stiff that produces lot's of vibration which is very annoying when you are riding on a little rough surface
You can't expect the quality of the board to be too good, all I can say that it is Good enough for normal commuting.
Last word is that this board is something that you cannot complain at this price, Overall it is a great deal for the money.

Lightest and the cheapest electric skateboard in this list which is powered with some decent and cool features too.
This board simply does what an electric board is supposed to be doing. Moreover the board is lightweight, portable and have a decent speed and range. Powerful motor features good amount of torque and regenerative braking.
The deck is quite stiff (Not Flexible) and the battery is good for few months, later on it loses its power and you will need to replace it. They claim that their board can be used as a regular board when not using motor, but this is not true, it is hard to push the board. Another thing which I don't like it their customer support, they are not helpful at all.
Overall 'You get, what you paid for' this is why you can ignore that cons if you are looking for a good skateboard under $500 then this one is trusted and have decent specs too.

E-board Buying Guide
So,You might be thinking on what basis did we arranged these electric boards in the list of best electric skateboards and what things you should consider whiles choosing an electric skateboard?
Here we have discussed few of the most important points you should keep in mind while choosing an electric skateboard.
Choosing Quality Component
Choose Stronger 'Deck' for safer ride
Strong and sturdy deck must be your priority while buying an electric board, because electric skateboard is meant to be known for its speed and if your deck snaps at a high speed, you know what could happen.
Most of the manufacturer use carbon fiber, which is the best option for the electric skateboard's deck.But other decks like Boosted use Vanguard bamboo deck which is insanely flexible and provides amazing riding experience are also great for it.
So, When should you see the deck as a priority?
When you are buying a well know brand who is specialized in making electric skateboard and is popular then you can ignore checking the deck quality because they almost all the electric board manufacturer use a high quality deck. But when you are building your own board or buying a low price or less popular brand then make it you priority to check the deck quality and strength.
Choose suitable 'Motor' with decent power
Motor must have decent power so that you may enjoy the feel of an electric skateboard, In my view- the sum of the power of the motors should be minimum of 1000W.
But, WTH is a suitable motor?
The answer is that suitable type of motor out of Belt Driven motors and Hub Motors.
Why or Why not Belt-Driven motors?
All the electric skateboards had belt driven motors till 2016, it is provide great torque, braking and power. And wheels can absorb the shock and vibrations far better than hub motors.
On the other hand it is heavier, has drag which means its hard to ride without battery power, needs regular maintenance(specially belt) and produces high noise.
Why or Why not a Hub Motor?
Hub motors have not drag which means you can kick push it after battery is flat, It is lightweight and needs less maintenance and produces less noise and uses less battery power compared to belt driven motors.
On the other hand, because of thing layer or Polyurethane over motors it does not absorb shock and vibrations effectively, It has lesser power, torque and braking.
Battery Power and Remote Connectivity
Choosing battery power is up to your choice, depending on how much and how often you ride your board. So the more longer you ride choose the battery with high power, For me I would choose the high power battery.
Remote Connectivity is really very important than you might think, want to know why?
Suppose, you are riding at a high speed and suddenly something come in your way and if you don't stop of slowed down you are gonna crash. And when you are trying to stop suddenly you remote control stopped working, Not what would happen?
It's simple.
A Crash!
So be wise about remote controls, take advice or read reviews from people who already had used or using that board.
Analyse Overall Performance
How do you know that the components that are loaded in the board is of high quality?
Yes! By analyzing it's performance.
Range
Range means how much distance the board can cover in a single charge of the battery. So the higher the battery power the higher it's Range will be.
If you don't ride very often then you might think that you can go for a cheap battery but trust me soon you will regret that why you did this to just save a few buck. So just choose slightly above your requirement.
Speed
You do not always need too much speed because you don't always ride too fast, unless you want to be a part of history by owning World's Fastest Electric board or you are a speed freak then check our list of fastest motorized skateboards.
But it does not mean that you should completely ignore speed, No never because what is the point of having an electric skateboard when you can't go faster, So Choose wisely.
Torque and Braking
Torque is also important because it helps in gaining acceleration and climbing hills and you know why braking is also really very important for you.
