It features a turbo mode for increased power production and a comfortable riding experience. Additionally, the battery is a 12S2P pack, which gives the board greater energy for a more luxurious experience.
Pros
- Range among immediate competitors
- Standby mode to power on using just the remote
- Price

9. Meepo V3
Price: $469.99
Speed: 28 mph
Range: 11 miles
Weight: 17 lbs
ShredLights Compatible: Yes, (front = standard mounts, rear = flat mounts): Meepo V3 Lights
One of, if not the most popular, low-cost electric skateboards on the globe is the Meepo V3. Out of the three primary budget boards (Wowgo 2s Pro, Backfire G2 Black, and Meepo V3), it has the best price-to-performance ratio and the highest performance. The V3 loses comfort, smoothness, and range in exchange for increased speed and power. But compared to Backfire and Wowgo, Meepo’s quality control seems to be more hit or miss; some V3s we’ve had have ran for more than 1,000 miles without a single issue, while others have been rife with issues.
Pros
- Speed (for the price)
- Power (for the price)
- Price
Cons
- Less range than competition
- Throttle/Braking Curves are harsher than competition
- Build Quality
