Riptide R1 ELITE [Compact Electric Skateboard]

Author: A76 via YouTube

Commuting and moving around with the RipTide R1 over the last couple of weeks was super convenient with it’s 31″ deck and side handles. Having a much smaller footprint and a kick tail makes the RipTide R1 agile in tighter spots (even a skatepark). Range wise the RipTide seemed pretty close to what I get on my Boosted v2.
