The electric skateboard market just got a serious shake-up with the CS2 Direct Drive, and after diving deep into its specs and design philosophy, we’re genuinely impressed by what’s on offer here. At €1,499 (down from €1,999), this isn’t just another incremental upgrade – it’s a thoughtful reimagining of what premium e-skating should feel like. The standout feature is undoubtedly the direct drive system with lower kV motors, delivering over 30% more torque than its predecessor.
For riders who’ve felt limited by belt-driven systems, this translates to genuine hill-climbing capability at 40% grades and acceleration that’ll pin you to the deck. The dual 3500W motors aren’t just about raw power though – they’re paired with a fully programmable 90A ESC that lets you customize everything from braking curves to speed limits across four distinct modes. What sets the CS2 apart is its future-proof approach. The modular design means upcoming drive trains and battery configurations will be compatible, protecting your investment as technology evolves.
The 14s4p Samsung 50s battery pack delivers an impressive 65+ kilometer range, while the 100cm forged carbon deck provides the stability needed at the 40-65km/h top speeds this beast can achieve. The engineering details matter here: 45° CNC traditional kingpin trucks with carefully tuned bushings (85A/90A front, 95A rear) create a carving experience that’s both responsive and confidence-inspiring. The 115mm rubber wheels strike the perfect balance between grip and roll speed, while the wider 35cm track width adds stability without sacrificing maneuverability. For experienced riders seeking premium performance and future-ready technology, the CS2 represents a compelling evolution in direct drive electric skateboarding.
