The Nyx Z3 doesn’t just talk the talk when it comes to range; it delivers an impressive up to 95 kilometers (59 miles) with the 1554Wh battery configuration. Whether you’re planning epic trail sessions or extended off-road explorations, this board gives you the freedom to ride further without range anxiety. Multiple battery options (1554Wh, 1295Wh, 1036Wh, and 777Wh) mean you can choose the perfect balance of range and weight for your riding style.

What sets the Z3 apart is its revolutionary Acedeck Gear Drive 4.0 system – the Element Gear Drive represents a quantum leap in electric skateboard engineering.

Mach One

radium-performance.com/mach-one

The electric skateboard world just got a massive shake-up with the arrival of the Mach One – and honestly, we’re not sure we were ready for this level of innovation. After four years of development, Radium Performance has delivered something that reads more like science fiction than your typical e-skate spec sheet.

Let’s talk numbers first because they’re absolutely wild: 45mph top speed, 30-mile range, and 0-30mph in just 3 seconds. But here’s where it gets really interesting – this isn’t just about raw power. The Mach One introduces the world’s first torque vectoring system on an electric skateboard, called the Radium Torque Steering System (RTS). Think of it as power steering for your board, where each motor independently controls steering like oars on a kayak.

The engineering is genuinely impressive. That F1-derived monocoque chassis isn’t marketing fluff – it’s a legitimate carbon fiber tub that serves as the board’s backbone. The hollow composite deck weighs just 1kg and features a swappable system, so you can upgrade or customize without buying an entirely new setup.

What really sets the Mach One apart is its suspension system. Unlike the complex, heavy systems you’d expect, Radium developed single pivot swing arms with just one moving part per truck. It’s motorcycle-inspired engineering that promises to absorb road vibration while maintaining that direct, locked-in feel we love.

For the community wondering about real-world usability, the 1kg compact charger delivers 90% charge in under two hours, and the Hoyt St Puck 2.0 remote features proprietary radio technology that channel-hops across 16 frequencies for interference-free connection.

This isn’t just another premium e-skate – it’s potentially the beginning of a new category entirely.

The SE1 Dragon Electric Skateboard just dropped at $4,550, and it’s redefining what premium e-skating looks like. This isn’t your typical board – it’s packing patent-protected Pivot Shaft Trucks that literally pivot on bearings, delivering stability that’ll blow your mind whether you’re carving streets or hitting the track.

What sets the Dragon apart? Those revolutionary trucks feature 10 front bearings and 12 rear bearings, plus spring-loaded steering tie rods that you can actually adjust. Want tighter turns? Dial it in. Need more stability for speed runs? Got you covered. The engineering here is next-level.

You’re looking at dual Hobbywing 6584 motors pumping 3300W each, paired with battery options ranging from 14S4P Samsung cells to 16S5P Molicel configurations. The 49″ XL9 carbon fiber deck gives serious riders the platform they need, while the 40″ standard option keeps things manageable for varied skill levels.

Here’s the real talk: at this price point, you’re investing in breakthrough tech that’s genuinely different. Those Pivot Shaft Trucks aren’t marketing fluff – they’re patent-protected innovation that changes how weight transfers through turns. Add titanium axles, IPX-6 water resistance, and your choice of racing slicks or all-terrain tires, and you’ve got a board that’s ready for anything. Early riders report the experience is legitimately unlike anything else on four wheels.

The NEON Smart Helmet By Unit 1 is launching soon, designed to break every trade-off in helmet design. Tested by Virginia Tech, NEON ranked #28 out of 281 helmets with a 5-star rating, while its sibling helmet AURA sits at #17. Together, they hold the #1 and #2 spots in Smart Helmets and place in the Top 5 of all urban helmets tested.

NEON is more than just protection—it’s smarter visibility and safety. It features a bright 180° rear light, turn signals, and automatic brake lights (with the UNIT 1 Remote, sold separately). The helmet is NTA-certified for e-bike protection and includes Crash Alert through the UNIT 1 app, automatically notifying emergency contacts after an accident.

Customization is central to the design. NEON supports magnetic visors for day, night, and adaptive riding, rain plugs for wet conditions, and a winter liner for warmth. Every component is modular, so parts can be replaced individually to extend the helmet’s life.

Key specs:

MIPS system, magnetic buckle, modular build
IP-67 water resistance, 3–30h battery life
430–490g weight (depending on size)
Certified under NTA-8776, EN-1078, and CPSC standards

NEON comes in five colors—Charcoal Black, Mineral Gray, Slate Gray, Pine Green, and Steel Blue—alongside add-ons for ultimate personalization. A streamlined SE version is also available, with a lighter build but fewer features.

The NEON Smart Helmet is built for urban riders, e-bikers, and anyone who wants safety without compromise. Launching in just days, this “impossible” helmet sets a new benchmark in performance and design.
