Here’s the best 3 upgrades you can make to your Boosted Board with little effort and no modification to your board. These are plug and play for both the Mini S and Mini X.

Nose & Tail Guards — $23 at Flatland3D.com

First up, nose and tail guards by SurfCo. Even though Boosted made the edge of the board hard plastic, our board got a bunch of dings after a few weeks of use. These tail protectors by SurfCo fit perfectly on both the nose and the tail of the board. You can get a dual pack for $23 at Flatland3D. You can also find them on Amazon.

We noticed on our Mini S the bearings were pretty slow, and didn’t improve even after 100 miles of breaking in. Faster bearings means better coasting and improved mileage. There’s a few options out there, and for the price we recommend Zealous bearings on Amazon for $16. We’ve used them on our other Boosted board for thousands of miles.

Acer Racing Bearings — $40 on Amazon

Another bearing kit we highly recommend is from ACER Racing and while this one is more expensive at $40 bucks, it’s worth it. They are ceramic and also come with 2 replacement pulley bearing for the rear wheels.

85mm Orangatang Caguama — $68 on Amazon

Next, we upgraded our wheels to the new 85mm Orangatang Caguama. These are 5mm larger than stock. Bigger wheels means slightly higher top speed while also sacrificing a bit of torque. We tested them thoroughly and found the Mini S to ride even better with these wheels. We keep our trucks more loose and found there was no wheel bite, even while carving at high speed. We can still ride off curbs no problem, and they also absorb more bumps from the road. Installing the wheels you’ll need to remove the pulleys from your old wheels and fit them in the new ones. The pulleys need to go in straight or the wheel will have a wobbly ride. It might take you a few tries to get it just right. We also love the way the green wheels look compared to the white stock wheels that look dirty so quick.

Testing the stock wheels vs the Caguamas, it felt noticeably faster and we reached 19 mph top speed. The stock wheels only seem to get us at 17mph most of the time. We also tested the range and found it was the same if not better with the bigger wheels. We expect that the Mini X would get even higher top speeds using these wheels. In terms of weight, the 4 wheels in total add about a half pound of additional weight to the board.

Finally, we added lights to the Boosted Mini. These lights are from ShredLights and some of the best on the market. For $40 bucks, you get 2 headlights with a mounting bracket and a dual charging cable. Installation is easy and only takes a couple minutes. They look super sleek on the board and are easy to pop on and off for charging. If you use coupon code “techww” you’ll get 10% off.

For the rear, you can also buy a single tail light for $20. We found that this one didn’t fit as well, when the light is mounted you can no longer use the kick tail. An easy fix is keeping the light off the bracket when it’s not being used.

Storage & Carry Bags

Guitar Stand for your Boosted — $11 on Amazon

This is a favorite from the boosted subreddit, and for the price this is a must-have for your Boosted Board or other electric longboards such as Evolve, Inboard, etc. It fits both the Boosted Plus or the Mini S and Mini X.

BoardBag for Boosted Mini— $148 at BoardBag.co

This backpack is more expensive at $148, but is very good quality and made specifically for boosted board and the Mini, it features backpack straps, shoulder strap, hand grip and comes with two large pockets which can store two extra Boosted Board battery packs, or any other accessory you might want to carry.

Nike SB RPM Backpack — For Boosted Mini S, Mini X — $90–100 on Amazon
