What Makes Miles Special?

Miles is powered by motors built right into the wheels. There are no belts to drag you down or break during a ride. You control stopping and going with a wireless remote. The carbon fiber deck is so thin that nobody will know there's a high capacity battery and smart computer hidden inside!  All this makes Miles the most portable (and sexiest) performance electric skateboard out there!

Great design. Lightweight. Built to last. HUGE power and range.

Most importantly, our support team and rider community are ready to help with any questions you might have!

 

What's it Made Of?

 

 

 

Big Features

(Small Price)

Featherweight

Miles is almost impossibly light. The Single is only 10.5 lbs, and Dual only 12.5 lbs, That means Miles has the best performance to weight ratio of any board out there! You don't need to let a bulky, heavy board slow you down any more. Miles is easy to carry and stow so you can take it with you wherever you go! 

 

Insane Speed

Don't let the size fool you, the Miles Board has powerful brushless motors right in the wheels. Accelerate to 22+ mph and feel the wind in your hair as you zoom past traffic.

 

Ride More, Charge Less

Cruise through campus, hit the gym, shred with your friends. Spend more time riding and less time charging. 

 

Crush Hills

No more walking up hills. Hit the throttle and fly up them instead. Climb grades up to 20% with enough speed to carve around just for fun. 

 

Beat It Up

Skating is about pushing your limits.  Miles can take a beating and keep on cruising! If anything breaks, you can order a quick replacement from the Miles shop. 

 

Built To Last

The deck is made out of 100% Carbon Fiber giving it unmatched strength and a look that's guaranteed to turn heads!! 

 

Get Wet

If you ride hard you'll encounter some puddles. The undercarriage is sealed and motors completely waterproof so you can ride through some puddles and cruise in light rain. 

 

Limitless Range

Go ahead, ride across the state! Just swap in another battery when you run out of juice on the go. Bring the 99WH Airline Friendly Battery, and you'll be shredding foreign countries in no time. 

 

Smart Remote

The Miles Dual sports an LCD Display that shows everything you need to know about your board!

  • Battery Life of Board and Remote
  • Odometer for the Current Trip and Lifetime of the board
  • Current Speed and Top Speed of the trip
  • Drive mode: Forward and Backwards
  • Speed Setting: Low and High

 

Why Indiegogo?

First, meet the makers.

 

TLDR:

We've done this before.

We're doing it again.

You can trust us to deliver you an awesome board.

Hi, we're Rob and Pete.

Several years ago we met on Airbnb and found a shared passion for wheels, green energy and things that go fast.

We put our hearts and souls into designing the electric bikes of our dreams. We launched FLX Bike on Indiegogo in 2016. Thousands of people around the world joined the movement, raising over $2 Million for bikes in just 60 days! We got to make so many beautiful bikes for FLX fans that we actually moved into the factory to personally oversee and inspect every detail of production.

It hasn't been easy though, we were faced with challenges almost every step of the way. We learned and grew together, driven to deliver the coolest, best performing bikes for FLX riders (and we did!)

We built a team to handle product development, manufacturing, customer service and all aspects of the business. This freed us up to pursue another dream, to develop an electric skateboard.

When you hit the throttle and feel a powerful electric motor propel you through the city and up steep hills, it's a magical feeling. We want to share that feeling with as many people as possible.

We've already shipped hundreds of Miles boards and people are absolutely loving them! Sure, there are a few details we'll improve for the Indiegogo production run. The only major thing is that many riders can't afford one.

That's why we've brought Miles to Indiegogo. With a massive volume of boards, we'll be able to ship direct to you (skipping all middle men), get the price for every component down, and add awesome upgrades to the boards that are only possible with big volume.

Join us, for the ride of your life.

 - Rob, Pete and Team Miles

Performance

My Miles Arrived. What now?

 

 

What’s the difference between the Dual and Single?

The Single has one powerful hub motor while the Dual has two.  The Single will hit speeds of 18-20 mph, but won’t accelerate or brake as fast as the Dual. 

The Single comes with a basic remote with fast/slow, forward, brake and reverse functions. There is no display.

The Dual comes with a premium remote with information display and safety light on top of the basic functions. 

 

Why do you use hub motors and not clumsy belt motors?

The first electric skateboards were developed with elbow grease and off the shelf components. They were clever devices made of hobby motors bolted to skateboard wheels. We salute the pioneers that brought electric skateboarding to life!

Belt motors are typically geared down so they can achieve more torque than hub motors. The torque helps in acceleration, hill climbing and off road riding. There is a trade off however , as there are more moving parts, more friction, a loud whine and more things to break. That means range and top speed can suffer with belt motors. If you’ve ever tried to ride a board with belt motors, you can feel what a drag all those moving parts and friction can be. On or off, that friction is what robs you of speed and range.  

Now that more riders like you have embraced electric skating, technology has evolved and it's now possible to put the motor directly inside the wheel. This means that you can ride with less moving parts, less friction, less weight and more fun! It's why you can get incredible range on a Miles board and still cruise at incredible speeds.

Belt motors may be cheaper to manufacture, but for a sleek street board, they’re not for us. We wanted a fast, smooth, lightweight sexy ride that lasts for miles and miles. Hub motors were the clear choice!

 

What range can you get?

From our testing data (and we push the boards hard!), we get the following range:

Single: 7-12 Miles

Dual: 10-18 Miles

With the airline friendly battery, you can expect about 6-14 miles from either board. 

Your mileage will vary based on weight, terrain and speed.

 

Why is the Range longer than other boards?

Both Single and Dual come with high capacity lithium batteries. The Single has a 108WH battery while the Dual has a 144WH battery.

WH = Watt Hours, is a measurement of the total energy in a battery

This is more capacity than popular boards like the Boosted 2 (99WH), Boosted Mini S (99WH), and Inboard (97WH).  

Not only does it have more battery capacity, but with less moving parts (NO BELTS = less friction = more efficient), Miles boards can achieve incredible range.

Beware: Many electric skateboard brands (especially the budget ones) don’t even publish their battery capacity. Are they afraid you’ll find out the truth?

 

Can I get another high capacity battery?

Yes, you can get it here. Choose the capacity you want. Note that the Single 3AH, Dual 4AH, and Airline Friendly 2.75AH battery can be interchanged and used in either board.

 

Can you change the battery?

Yes, you can swap the battery out in about 5 minutes. Just remove the deck lid, turn the battery off, unplug it and insert your new battery. This feature is great for those that want a looong ride!

 

How long does it take to charge?

Typically 1-2 hours, slightly longer if completely dead. 

 

I’m heavy, can I ride it?

If you weigh less than 270 lbs, that’s a big YES. Though we often ride 2 up for a combined weight of ~350lbs, we can’t recommend it. Performance will decline with increased weight and the boards are not officially tested past 270lbs. 

 

I’m tall, can I ride it?

Yes, there’s no height limit and the board is very stable for all folks short and tall. Check out this review from Brett, a 6’4” Miles Rider in Folsom.

 

Can you ride it with no battery or no remote?

Yes! The hub motors are precision engineered for the least drag possible. Boards with belt motors (and orange wheels :P ), are a drag to push with no power. Miles is a breeze to push and cruises almost as fast as a traditional push longboard.

 

Is this practical to use for commuting daily to work (5 miles) and shopping, etc?

Yes! 5 miles is a great distance to shred on your Miles. With the Dual you'll probably make it there and back in one charge too. You’ll have the most fun if your roads are smooth and it will sure beat uber, traffic, busses etc.

 

Can I ride it underwater?

The board is water resistant, not waterproof. That means you can ride through light rain and decent sized puddles but you can’t go swimming with it.

The motors are completely waterproof and can run completely underwater. The electronics and battery in the deck are not waterproof, so it’s not a good idea to submerge the whole board or ride in heavy/torrential rains. The warranty does not cover water damage.

 

Can I ride it in the Grass? 

YES. You can cruise over cut grass from a dead stop but may want to get a rolling start if it's on the longer side. Grass takes more energy to roll over than asphalt, so it will slow any board down and use more battery than it would on hard surfaces.

Miles is designed for asphalt, concrete, and other hard surfaces and that's where it really shines. Don't let that stop you from getting creative though. Take the board to the golf course and shred it up if you fancy!!

 

Can I ride it Off-Road? 

It's not the smoothest ride we've ever had, but it definitely powers through to get you from point A to B!! While it is meant to shred the streets, the board can handle grass & gravel surfaces. The Powerful Hub Motors and Extremely Durable Wheels combine to allow you to continue shredding through those rough terrains!!

 

Can I ride it in the Sand? 

NO! Sand is too fluffy to get through on even the MIles Dual. The board just sinks in and sprays sand everywhere. You'd need big off-road tires to get over sand, and even then, only hard-packed wet sand will work. Miles is not an off-road board, but if you want to get creative you can always fly over hard dirt trails or grass!!

 

Can it do powerslides?

Yup! Can you?

 

How much weight can it tow?

We're gonna need more people next time!

How does it handle cold weather? 

While this was just a few minutes at an extremely cold temperature, the board did better than us. It's tough to imagine you'll be able to ride in any weather cold enough to shut the board off!

As with all batteries, the lower the temperature, the lower the discharge rate and capacity of the battery. For example, at 10 below freezing, the battery can discharge at about 40% of its normal capacity. The board will still work at this temperature however, your max power, speed, and range will decrease... The good news is the motors and battery will heat up slightly during use to improve power and range.

There is definitely a temperature at which the battery won't be able to power on the board. Luckily, we've never been cold enough to experience this, but according to data from our battery supplier, we believe it's around -25 degrees Fahrenheit. At that temperature, we recommend finding a loved one and cuddling up by the fire before you go out and shred ice!

Storing the board indoors at room temperature before going out into extreme cold will greatly increase the performance under cold temperatures as the internals will be closer to ideal operating temperature.

What colors do Miles come in?

Black and pink baby! The Miles Board comes with a swappable deck lid so you can purchase extras and swap them to fit your mood in minutes Keep an eye out because we’ll be adding more in the future! 

 

How many watts are the Motors?

We don't disclose the motor wattage because it's become industry standard to lie about motor power. You deserve better than that.

Many companies claim to have 2000W, 3000W motors when they only have 100WH batteries... 

Let's calculate that out: 100WH/3000W = .05 hours of run time. If their claims were true you could only use the board for 2 minutes!

You're welcome to put the board up against top brands and compare performance, you won't be disappointed!

 

Support

Is there a warranty?

Yes, we’ve got your back with a 6 month warranty that covers the entire board from defect or malfunction under normal use. If anything on the board should stop working, just hit us up (call 833-MYMILES) and we’ll get you rolling again in no time! The warranty does not cover any damage from misuse (including water damage), tampering or unauthorized alterations/repairs. 

 

What if it’s past the warranty or I broke it myself?

No stress, we still have your back with excellent support (from real humans in the US) and will help you purchase the correct replacement component(s) to get rolling ASAP.

 

Components

Does it have lights?

No. The Dual remote features a small LED safety light to use in a pinch for visibility. If you ride at night, we do recommend investing in a set of lights though. We'll have some for you to order before the campaign ends! 

 

If I wear the wheels out can I replace them?

Yes you can, just loosen a few screws and swap a new one on in about 2 minutes! You can find replacement wheels here.

 

I just crashed and broke my _____ where can I get a replacement?

You can find all replacement components here. Can’t find it? Give us a call at 833-MYMILES

 

Payments and Shipping

When does it ship?

After we get the funds from Indiegogo, we'll build the boards and deliver them as soon as possible. 

How long for delivery?

After we build the boards, most orders outside the US will ship direct from the factory and arrive approximately 3-4 weeks after shipment. US orders will be shipped via container to San Diego and then via courier to your door, they'll arrive approximately 6 weeks after shipment from the factory. 

Where do you ship?

We're starting with a list of 52 countries and aim to expand this reach even further. If you find there's no shipping method for your country, you can let us know where you're from here. We'll work on the logistics and reach back out if there's a solution! 

In our last campaign we were able to ship 99% of orders, but there were just some locations like remote islands or countries with very strict rules that were impossible to ship to. We refunded those orders when it was clear there was no other way. If for any reason we can't deliver your board, you'll get a full refund (unless you live somewhere really cool - then maybe we'll hand deliver). 

 

How Much is Shipping?

You can check the most updated shipping rate for 52 Countries by beginning the checkout process and inputting your shipping info. The rates are calculated by country, so there may be a handful of regions (remote islands etc.) with special handling rates. If that's the case, we may reach out after building your board to collect any additional fees that apply. 

Note: There's an additional shipping fee for orders to Hawaii ($100) and Alaska ($120). If you order from Hawaii or Alaska, we'll email you with payment instructions when the campaign ends for the additional fee. 

 

Who is responsible for any additional taxes, duties or VAT?

The backer is responsible, please check your country's import duties before purchasing. It is 0% in the US and varies internationally. 

 

Can I test one at your office?

Yes! Come cruise by the showroom in San Diego. 

Can I get a refund?

Please refer to IndieGoGo's policy here. We'll put the funds from Indiegogo directly into producing your board, and delivering each order is important for this project to work. 

 

Misc

Do I need to wear a helmet?

We strongly recommend wearing a good helmet. Accidents happen (ask Rob : D ). If you value what’s inside your head, a helmet can protect it from damage. Not only that, it’s the law in many places. Bottom line: you’re responsible for your own decisions. Please don’t come crying to us if you crack your skull or get a ticket. You may see us riding without helmets from time to time and that’s a value decision we make and own. We trust you’ll make the right decision for you each time you ride.

Other protective gear can save you from scrapes if you’re new to skating, riding hard or just clumsy. Please be safe out there!

 

Can you take it on an airplane?

Both the Single (108WH) and Dual (144WH) batteries can be taken on airlines only with permission from the airline. If you plan to travel via airplane, we recommend choosing the 99WH airline friendly battery, which in the US generally does not require any airline permission. We often fly with our boards and have only encountered an issue flying out of the Tijuana airport (because it was a skateboard, not because it was electric!)  Be sure to check with the airline, airport or any governing authority when you fly. 

 Is it legal to ride on my roads?

Please check the regulations of your jurisdiction to find out where you can or can't ride. Above all, ride safely and responsibly. Your destiny is in your hands. We just help you get there faster.

Are you hiring?

Yes. If you love to shred and have creative talents, DM us on facebook or Instagram.
