All the important parts are now shielded against water damage, making puddles less of an obstacle, and are "modular" according to Boosted, allowing sidewalk surfers to fix and upgrade their boards without professional assistance. There's also a new port for powering accessories like headlights, and finally, a new dual Bluetooth radio setup for keeping a strong connection to the throttle/brake remote and Boosted's iPhone and Watch apps. Best of all, the second-generation electric boards are selling for the same price as their predecessors: $999 for the Single, $1,299 for the Dual and $1,499 for the Dual+. When you've settled on what kind of top speed you'd be comfortable with, throw in an extra $100 and you'll get the extended-range battery as standard.

Boosted is asking for a $100 refundable deposit to reserve one (no Kickstarter campaign this time around), with the first electric boards shipping towards the end of July. International certification also means riders outside the US can jump on a Boosted board for the first time. Come fall, shipping will be expanded to Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe, including the UK.
