Hi everybody. I was searcing on the web, the most famous e board on the market now, and in sequence we have, Evole, Boosted board, Inboard, Blink, Meepo , Lou, Slick revolution exc… All with beautiful website, all with cool photos, but in every case, you never see the factory production. I was a baker of Lou board on kickstarter, because in the video the young guy said, we are Swiss and this is Lou, but finally it was a 100% chinese product.

So my question is: is there a factory that produce them in USA or EUROPE, or in any case they come from China? I see on my bamboo gt, made in China on the package :frowning:
so what do you think?

One of the best ones fits all your criteria … Metroboard. They have youtube videos of their production facility in Washington, USA

It’s the only one?

whats wrong with the chinese factory tho?

i believe in Montreal Canada there is one company make themselves. has bad naming can’t quite remember. some one will name it here for sure

5

Whats your point? Batteries, electronics, motors are all made in asia? So in the end to assembly them somewhere else is bit no point…

6

yeah agree, the electrronic components, all from shenzen china

If it needs service, shipping is cheap and fast and the personnel are very good at communication

I think you will always be scarfing with pre-buildt, not saying they are bad boards but doing the research and building your own is very rewarding and you can always change your design for riding preference and tuning purposes. I like taking things apart and learning how they work and eSK8 is one of the best options to learn about motors, drives, batteries, electronics ect… I know it is not for everyone but when you roll your own you end up knowing so much more about whats under your feet doing 30mph. This community has such a strong commitment to helping the beginner to the most advanced enthusiasts I am so glad I did my DIY.
