First Preorder Metroboard Slim Electric Longboards started shipping this week!

This week we started shipping our first preorder Metroboard Slim Electric Longboards! The weather this week was very wet in the Portland, Oregon, area where we build them, but we managed to squeeze in a few test rides during some short dry spells. The first few boards take quite a bit longer to build as we fine tune the manufacturing process, but we are very excited to finally get this product into our customers hands (and feet)! We appreciate our customers' patience as we ramp up production. We think you will be very pleased with the end result!
