In the meantime I could get some electric skating miles on my belt before the Bamboo GT arrives and shorten my commute. I debated for a week whether I wanted to take a chance on a brand new, and un-reviewed product, but figured at $350 (on sale through eBay), I could take a chance, return it if I was really unhappy, or sell it. In came the announcement of the Blink Lite, which on paper seemed perfect for my needs. I had read about the Acton Blink board, predominantly it's issues with abrupt braking, fraying wires, and controllers getting stuck, and for $500, I didn't want to deal with those issues. I wanted something small and light to complement the Evolve. I was excited and still am at the prospect in riding that beast to work (9 miles each way), but the thought of carrying a 17 lb board around if I wanted to hang out, take the subway, or run some errands seemed less than ideal. A few days later, the Bamboo GT came out and I jumped on it immediately! Top speed wasn't as important for me, as well as the super carve trucks since this would mostly be for commuting in NYC. The carbon seemed too stiff and delicate (in that I would be bothered by scratches), but the board's specs looked exactly like what I was looking for, especially the range and AT wheels. I at first jumped on the Boosted pre-order because I wanted to hold a spot in line while I researched, but soon came across the Evolve GT line. After being convinced by Casey Neistat's blog that I had to have a electric longboard, I watched video after video in search of the perfect board for my needs. Hi guys, some background, I have never owned a electric skateboard, and have not ridden one before, although I have and ride rather infrequently, two longboards.
