Pricing and Pre-Order Update

Production Pricing

This week, we’re excited to begin shipping our first boards to post-Kickstarter customers. These boards will cost $1,995, an increase from our estimate 18 months ago.  The new price reflects a higher build cost due to improvements in performance, reliability, and quality.

Upgraded electronics and sensors, stronger motors, safer batteries, metal and composite mechanical components, and intelligent software all make the board even better than our original vision.  Each board is hand-made and tested in our facility near San Francisco using modern manufacturing and quality control techniques.  The board is an incredible riding experience, and these choices ensure it’s also a more dependable, powerful, and practical vehicle.

We’re proud that our riders can rely on their boards for daily commutes, errands, and short trips.  Our earliest riders have told us it’s the product they use most after their phones and computers.  They drive less, visit their friends more, and end their commutes smiling.  When we offered to buy back some boards for the production price, they said “no way”, “not a chance”, and “over my dead body”.  We were told overwhelmingly that the improvements were worth the new price, or even more.

These improvements and their extra cost have enabled us to build and support a vehicle you can count on.  It’s the best electric longboard ever made, and it’s our first step towards changing transportation.

Production and Shipping Schedule

The timing of your board’s production depends on the customers ahead of you in line.  Over the next 6 weeks, we will finish contacting each pre-order customer, according to when the pre-order was placed, to collect final shipping and payment information and provide an estimated production and shipping date.  If you don’t receive an email from orders@boostedboards.com by June 1st, please contact us.

International customers and backers, please be patient as we obtain import certifications for each country.  We don’t want your boards to be returned, delayed, or seized due to improper documentation.  We will update you with timelines and shipping schedules once we have more details.  If you’d rather receive your board sooner at an address in the US, contact us and we'll arrange that.

Thanks,
-The Boosted Team
