Taking your Electric Skateboard on an Airplane


People have asked about taking their Metroboard Electric Skateboard on an Airplane. This link summarizes the rules:

Note that the Metroboard battery is estimated to have 18g of lithium content which is below the 25 g limit classified as "larger lithium-ion" battery. Technically this is allowed both as carry-on as well as checked baggage, but our bigger boards may be considered too large for carry-on. 

To be safe and to avoid excess baggage/oversize baggage fees, it's probably cheaper and safer to ship your board to your destination by Fedex/UPS Ground
