Acedeck Horizon Gear Drive Electric Skateboard

Acedeck’s latest release, the Horizon, isn’t just another long-range board – it’s a complete reimagining of what’s possible when power meets endurance. With an unprecedented 110KM range on a single charge, this beast is targeting riders who demand more from their electric skateboard adventures.

What sets the Horizon apart is its massive 2072Wh Samsung 50S battery configuration – literally the biggest Acedeck has ever produced. But raw range means nothing without the power to back it up, and the Horizon delivers with true 160A output and 8000W peak power through custom 6890 150kv motors. The result? A top speed of 44mph that feels both thrilling and controlled.

Comfort hasn’t been sacrificed for performance. The refined suspension system with shock-absorbing channel trucks means road imperfections disappear beneath your feet, making those epic long-distance rides genuinely enjoyable. Each wheel moves independently, so when you hit that unexpected pothole, your balance stays intact. Your knees will thank you after hour three of riding.

Practicality shines through thoughtful details. The integrated 1600-lumen lighting system handles nighttime adventures, while the new 9A fast-charger cuts charging time in half. The semi-flexible deck design accommodates different riding styles while maintaining the durability needed for high-speed adventures.

Safety remains paramount with reinforced components throughout, from M4 screws replacing M3s to triple-bearing motor designs that handle increased torque without compromising reliability. The 150kg max load capacity means this board welcomes riders of all sizes.

At its core, the Horizon represents Acedeck’s commitment to pushing boundaries while maintaining the reliability that serious riders demand. Whether you’re commuting across the city or exploring new territories, this board promises to take you further than ever before – safely and comfortably.

When the trail gets gnarly and other e-boards tap out, TRAMPA’s Spur Gear Drive mountainboards charge ahead like mechanical beasts. These aren’t your typical street cruisers – they’re engineered for riders who laugh at muddy hills and snowy trails.

The secret lies in the closed-drive system housed within a CNC-machined aluminum tub. Two cylindrical toothed gears deliver insane torque that’ll pull you through conditions that would strand lesser boards. We’re talking 50+ km/h speeds with acceleration that pins you back.

TRAMPA offers three configurations to match your riding style. The Basic (£2050) delivers solid all-around performance with 6464 160KV motors and POM gears. Crave more power? The Full Power (£2400) packs 6386 165KV motors with steel spur gears for serious trail shredding. Distance demons will love the Long Ranger (£2800) with its massive battery box and 9-inch Megastar hubs.

Unlike belt drives optimized for smooth rides, spur gears prioritize torque and durability over pure top speed. The enclosed system laughs at debris, moisture, and impacts that would destroy exposed components. Just remember to pack a spare inner tube – these boards will take you places where walking home isn’t fun.

For riders seeking the ultimate off-road electric experience, TRAMPA’s Spur Gear Drive transforms impossible terrain into your personal playground.

Top speeds reach 43mph on the Pro and 38mph on the Standard, with both models capable of climbing 50% grades.

The Major V3’s advanced lighting system deserves special mention. Ultra-bright 4000LM headlights provide excellent visibility with 10 adjustable brightness levels.

The signature laser lights enhance safety and visibility while maintaining that distinctive Major aesthetic.

Build quality remains exceptional with a carbon fiber and Canadian maple deck featuring polyurethane side edges. The modular battery design allows for easy servicing, while the Real Smart BMS provides comprehensive protection against various electrical hazards.
