Boosted Mini X Battery-Powered Board, available on Best Buy and Amazon, $999.99
The Boosted Mini X is a shorter board that's easy to carry and compact enough to be stored under desks, and its a few hundred dollars less expensive than the company's longboards. It can reach speeds of up to 20 mph, has up to 14 miles of range, and a battery charge time of 1.75 hours.
If you're looking for an under-$300 option, you may want to check out the RazorX DLX Electric Skateboard (currently $199.99, originally $289.99) that provides up to 40 minutes of continuous use.
We want to remind parents that electric skateboards can be dangerous, and if used improperly, they can cause serious damage. We suggest buying pads and a helmet to go with this and strongly encouraging your teen to wear this protective gear.
