**The Stealth: A Top-of-the-Line Electric Skateboard**

My goal with this review was to take a closer look at the Stealth, a top-of-the-line electric skateboard from Boosted, and see how it performs as a piece of Apple-connected tech. I also wanted to explore its potential for commuting and having fun on the streets.

**Design and Build Quality**

The Stealth is a longboard-like design, similar to most previous Boosted boards, but with some key upgrades. Gone is the bamboo deck, replaced by a custom composite design made from poplar, fiberglass, and foam. The company has also reinforced the edges to reduce wear and tear, while doing away with the mid-section taper that was present on older models. Other notable features include metal pulleys and wider 85mm Boosted wheels, which give the board an aesthetically pleasing look. However, it's worth noting that the Stealth weighs a significant 17 pounds, making it less than ideal for carrying long distances.

**Performance and Durability**

The Stealth is designed to be tough and durable, with months of testing showing minimal wear and tear despite being subjected to dirt, stones, cracked sidewalks, and repeated drops on the ground. Riders of older Boosted boards have often reported worse performance in similar conditions. In my experience, the Stealth does feel slightly stiffer than some of its siblings and rivals, but this provides a significant advantage when it comes to bump absorption. The key selling point of the Stealth is speed, with the option to select the board's fifth ride mode, Hyper, which allows riders to hit speeds of up to 24 miles per hour.

**Ride Modes**

The Stealth offers four different ride modes, each with its own set of characteristics and benefits. The beginner mode reduces acceleration and caps top speed at 11 miles per hour, making it suitable for those just starting out on their electric skateboard journey. As riders progress through the modes, they unlock more advanced features such as improved acceleration and hill-climbing capabilities. The sweet spot for daily use is likely to be Eco, which improves acceleration and allows for a top speed of 16 miles per hour. This may sound low, but it's actually a practical cruise rate that strikes a balance between performance and range.

**Range and Battery Life**

The Stealth's range is dependent on various factors such as temperature, weight, and strain on the motor and battery. As riders progress through the higher modes, their range shrinks significantly. The board's actual range can vary from around 12-14 miles in Eco mode to just half that of Eco in Hyper mode. The Boosted app makes it easy to switch between modes using either the handheld remote or the iPhone.

**Safety Considerations**

Riding the Stealth requires skill and caution, particularly for beginners. There have been instances where riders have leapt off the board to avoid a crash, so safety gear is essential, including a helmet and protective gear such as wrist, knee, and elbow guards. Maintenance is also necessary, including regular grip cleaner usage, inspection of the truck's, and eventual replacement of parts like wheels or belts.

**Conclusion**

The Stealth is an exceptional electric skateboard that offers unparalleled performance, durability, and speed. While it comes with a price tag of $1599, making it more expensive than most other Boosted boards and some competitors on the market, riders who value raw power and precision will find it hard to beat. However, for those who don't need the absolute best, there are cheaper alternatives available, such as the Mini X short board or even a Segway mini Pro.

**Future Developments**

Boosted recently revealed that they're working on products beyond skateboards, which has generated significant interest among enthusiasts. As always, we'll be keeping an eye out for any updates and will let you know if they follow through on their promises of all-terrain rider boards.

**Disclaimer**

I'd like to emphasize that the Stealth is not a Segway or Bird scooter, but rather a high-performance electric skateboard designed for thrill-seekers. Riding it requires skill and caution, particularly in challenging terrain. Always wear safety gear, follow local laws and regulations, and be aware of your surroundings when operating the board.
