Power, speed and climbing
The 1450 W motor powers the board over more challenging terrain. Its top speed is 38 km/h, and its stated climbing ability is up to 30°. This is an angle in degrees, not a 30% gradient. The slope the board can actually climb also depends on the rider’s weight and surface conditions.
A high top speed does not in itself make a ride safe. Adjust your speed to the terrain, available grip and your experience; a helmet and protective pads are sensible equipment.
Battery, range and charging
The 10 Ah battery provides a range of approximately 20–30 km. The distance depends on the rider’s weight and the difficulty of the terrain, so it is wise to allow for a shorter range when planning a route. Charging takes approximately three hours.
Wireless control
The SYL-08 is operated using a Bluetooth remote control. The wireless connection lets the rider control the mountainboard without a cable, but it is still important to become familiar with the remote and adapt your riding to the conditions.
Wheels and suspension
The board has 8-inch pneumatic tyres suited to riding off paved surfaces. They help absorb bumps and maintain contact with the ground on routes such as forest tracks, meadows and rocky trails. Grip varies with the surface and conditions, however.
Dual suspension at the front and rear helps absorb impacts on uneven ground. Together with the pneumatic tyres, it contributes to comfort when riding over bumps.
Maple deck and weight
The deck is made from maple wood, which combines strength and flexibility. The complete mountainboard weighs 13.5 kg, which is worth considering when carrying it between rides.
The SYL-08 is intended for riders looking for electric power for recreational or sporting rides off-road. Its range, weight and the surfaces on which it will be used are important factors to consider.
