Lux LT

Electric skateboards cater to those seeking thrill, convenience, and a modern twist to personal transportation. The Lux LT, with its streamlined design and punchy motors, is a choice worth considering if you're into e-skateboarding. However, for people wanting extreme range or heavy-duty features, this board might not check every box.

Design and Build Quality:

From the moment I unboxed Lux LT, its elegant design caught my eye. With a weight of only 6.1 kg, carrying this e-skateboard around was a breeze. The choice of materials screams durability without compromising on looks—smooth lines coupled with a robust frame to withstand daily use. Assembly, thankfully, was a non-issue; straightforward and done in minutes.

Overall Performance:

Lux LT excels in day-to-day commuting and leisure rides. A top speed of 35 km/h is more than enough to inject excitement into rides or swiftly dodge city traffic. Speed picks up quickly thanks to the dual 380 W motors, while braking is responsive enough for safe stops. However, tackling steep hills revealed its limitations, as the board struggled slightly with inclines.

The Motors & Battery:

Power delivery from the motors is mostly consistent. They propel the board forward with gusto on flats but falter when challenged by steeper terrains. Battery life felt accurate to the 126 Wh specification in regular conditions but expect less when pushing the board's limits continuously.

The Wheels & Braking:

Riding over smooth surfaces was nothing short of delightful; however, comfort decreased noticeably on rougher patches due to the hub drive system's direct road feedback. Braking inspired confidence in urban settings but required careful modulation on descents to avoid abrupt stops.

Overall Handling:

Handling proved nimble in congested spaces and stable at higher speeds. Maneuvering around obstacles was intuitive while maintaining a comfortable stance—even during longer sessions. Despite its agility, riders craving plush rides over varied terrain may find the experience lacking cushioning.

Maintenance and Repair:

Maintenance remained minimal during my time with Lux LT, mainly cleaning and checking for loose components—tasks easily managed by any rider. While I didn't face severe issues requiring assistance from customer service, sourcing spare parts appeared manageable online.

Additional Features:

Simplicity is key here; no fancy bells and whistles but a solid performing e-skateboard with all necessary attributes like reliable electric gauges and safety features seamlessly blending into daily use without overcomplicating operations.

Rating:

Based on my experiences, I give Lux LT a solid 7/10. It shines in design, ease of use, speed capabilities but loses points for hill performance and comfort on uneven surfaces.
