New Deck Offerings on the Metroboard Slim Electric Longboard

Check out our latest deck offerings on the Metroboard Slim Electric Longboard. Unfortunately, Honey Skateboards is getting out of the deck manufacturing business, but we've found some great alternatives made proudly in the USA by Madrid Skateboards. We are now offering two deck options on the Metroboard Slim: an all black deck and a bamboo deck. So now there's a deck choice to match your personal style!

10 mile Slim Battery Pack takes Metroboard Weight down to 13.5 lbs and length down to 29"

Coming soon, our new 10 mile slim pack, weighing in at just 1.16 kg (2.55 lbs). This will enable us to build with a slim pack on our shorter boards (even our 29" mini). The minimum wheelbase is about 19" to fit this pack. The only board it won't fit on is our 32" shortboard which has only a 14.5" wheelbase. It will be housed in a slim aluminum battery box similar to the one on our longboard, but just shorter in length. This pack will enable us to make Metroboards as light as 13.5 lbs! Should be available within 1 month!
