Boosted Rev is a kickboard-type scooter introduced by Boosted, a company that manufactures electric skateboards and e-scooters. A rear fender that acts as a steering wheel and brakes, equipped with mechanical disc brakes, has a top speed of 38.6 km/h.
Boosted uses more advanced brakes than the scooters made by competitors. Like a remote control that controls a skateboard-type boosted board, this product can use not only mechanical disc brakes, but also electric disc brakes when turning the throttle in reverse. In addition, mechanical brakes can be operated with a lever like a bicycle. In addition, it comes with an LED display to indicate the speed and remaining battery level. BirdOne, a scooter-type model announced by a rival company, Bird, was equipped with front-wheel motor brakes and rear-wheel drum brakes.
Of course, stopping well is important, but the majority are likely to covet the speed of this product. Boosted Rev is strong enough to climb 25% slopes. With a single charge, it can run up to 35km continuously. Of course, the Bud is 17.5kg, while the Boosted Rev is 20.8kg, which is a bit heavy. Nevertheless, this product may be worth considering as a means of transportation.
Electric scooters use mechanical brakes on the same handlebars as bicycles, so they can give you a completely new riding experience, but safety considerations are needed. In 2017, more than 1,500 people were injured with electric scooters in the United States. Boosted Rev is scheduled for summer release. Related information can be found here .
