Elos Mini Cruiser Skateboards Gifts for Teen Boys, Men, Beginner, Adult, Kids - Lightweight, Portable & Durable Wooden Commuter Cruiserboard Longboard. DIY Gift Box kit, Build it Yourself Skate Board

We ordered three boards for the family for ages 8 to 40. We are an active family that bikes, scoots, skates, and skis. We have now added skateboarding to the mix. We live in the city and the easy transportable design makes it great to pop around the city with the board in tow. We all found the Elos easy to learn to ride and fun. We found our new favorite activity. Update: I rode this board over the summer and I seriously love it. The more comfortable and familiar you get with the board the more you can appreciate how well it works. I ride in the city on flat ground and slight inclines and declines. Stopping the board going down a steep decline can be a chore since the elos does not have a tail and I haven’t learned (if it is possible) to slide it to slow down. Not a huge issue for where I ride though.

I needed something to ride to keep up with my little boy on his bike - I broke my hand at work last year and gripping the handlebars on my bike really hurts. I'm still learning but the videos made it really easy and I'm getting more confident every day. Still not keeping up with the kiddo but I hope to be cruising very soon. Beautiful woodwork. Nice big cushy wheels. I wear my helmet and wrist guards every time as I'm very clumsy even without wheels! I haven't fallen yet but I bet I still look very awkward and goofy. With practice I think this is going to be great. It's also very fun! I'm really glad I bought this and not a cheaper knock-off. I feel like the quality is exceptional!

The board itself is beautiful. It's well made and well thought out. The wheels and bearings are nice as well. The hooks on the trucks that allow you to hang the board are a great idea and could be added to any skateboard. I was surprised and disappointed, however, to discover that the trucks are made of plastic. It doesn't seem to make much sense to create plastic trucks specifically for this board when they could have easily sourced better aluminum trucks from an existing supplier - just like almost every other skateboard manufacturer. They are also difficult to adjust. The bottom line is that the trucks are jenky and probably will need to be replaced.

I finally took the plunge and bought this board once it went on sale. It had been on my wish list for a couple of years. I love that it's great for beginners that have zero experience with skateboarding. It feels pretty stable, and I get a little bit better and more confident every time I take it out. I highly recommend wearing all the protective gear, and just practicing on a basketball court or empty parking lot. I found it highly useful and helpful to watch the Elos tutorials, as well as YouTube tutorials for the absolute beginner. My elbow pads, knee pads and wrist guards just came in today, and I can't wait to take it out to the basketball courts or parking lots. I can tell I will need lots of practice before I can go cruising around town. I will keep the trucks tight for now, until I improve. The benefit of practicing in a basketball court is that it forces you to work on turns, and provides a smooth surface. I am a female in her early 40s that enjoys working out. I lift weights and love the outdoors. I paddle board too. My friend that is in his early 60s, bought one too, on Prime Day for $129.99. He kept using mine, and said it's a lot more fun than he thought it would be. We both agreed it's the first skateboard we stood on that doesn't feel like we're going to fall and crack our heads open. We find it addicting, and so fun! I thought my friend would have been zooming right away on this board as he is a surfer. Surprisingly he's having to practice and watch the tutorials as well. He's not as balanced as I thought he would be, for a surfer. Please do yourself a favor, and treat yourself to this board. We all deserve some fun and excitement in our lives, especially after going through Covid. Be patient, and Make sure you practice, practice, practice. I posted this video is after taking it out a few times. My first few experiences with this board, was just getting used to standing on it, and getting used to proper footing.

I would totally give this 5 stars, except that it really looked like mine is used (but it isn't). Scuffed on the front and side. Not worth sending it back, since I am sure it will be scuffed soon anyhow, but I can't give a five star review for that either. I wouldn't have left any review because I feel like a 4 star review is harmful and I think this is a really great company with a great idea and great product that meets a real need, but if I leave a review there's a sticker saying I will get a free adjustment tool. So I guess that shows their integrity - they are willing to air their dirty laundry in public to be sure they really get feedback! I looked at the Elos when I was thinking about learning to longboard (at age 44!). I love the portability and wide platform and my feet fit on it better than I thought they would! But I actually didn't buy before learning to ride on another skateboard. I got a Boarder Kontrol skateboard because it had a for-real brake. Sounds strange, but I am committed to keeping my bones as much as possible the way they were before I started this hobby. Now that I don't totally suck at riding it, I can go without the brake, but I needed something smaller and more portable, and it is well-made and good looking and actually meets my needs. Can't wait to travel with it! Before I forget, be sure to actually watch the videos. The little pegs on the back can be used kinda like a kicktail. That fact was kind of a game changer for me on deciding to buy it.

Amazing amazing amazing! Very stable and easy to start for beginners. A+++++

Calidad de materiales, diseño atractivo y muy manejable. Lo hemos comprado para nuestra hija de 6 años y nos gusta para nosotros.. Ella está encantada! Un pero que le pongo; podría venir con la llave para ajustar las ruedas.

Genialissime! J'adore la glisse et j'étais plus que septique sur la fonctionnalité et le produit en générale. Une fois les trucks desserrés à fond, du caviar! J'ai un carver super snapper donc incomparable en terme de pompage et pourtant, carrément envisageable et efficace avec cette board en forme d'œuf, par contre, oubliez les descentes, la planche roule ULTRA bien, objet parfait pour déplacement quotidien, je recommande vivement!

mi e' piaciuta la grandezza e il fatto di poterselo portare con se, poco invece la piccola sacca di colore chiaro, che si sporca subito, ma d'altronde non credo potessero dare pure un borsoncino a tracolla))

the board is way too small at 45cm, the nose should be bigger to have more foot placement, the grip is awful and the foot anchor should be at the front not the back, the trucks are made of plastic only 2 parts are in metal the axel and the baseplate. this is a RKP trucks but they give you TKP bushing and kingpin ...smh need a lot of work is needed to improve this thing. if you have 0 skate experience this is a 4 star , but even a penny board is better than this... and cheaper!!!
