This electric longboard is designed for the ultimate carving experience no matter the terrain, and with a clever design, it can easily swap its wheels

Like the cable diskbrakes you find on mountain boards? No.

I found it very easy to learn to skate on an electric board. I've never ridden anything non-electric.

I just slowly used the motors less and less to help in order to get the basics down. Just being able to hold down the brakes while stepping on made it a cinch to get started. And also being able to remotely halt the board rolling away when you bail.

    There seem to be a variety of designs, some are just a lever with some rubber with a peg you step on and others are more elaborate. Footbraking seems to be a lot more punishing on my longboard compared to my skateboards so I was looking for an intermediary while I learn to slide.
