(sorry for my english, i'm not fluent) Hi, i'm a student in a huge city in France looking to start electric skateboard, but since it's such a rare hobby i'm kinda lost and at most have seen 3/4 peoples with one.
Firstly, on the vast majority of electric longboard i've seen online there is a weight limit of 90-100, is there some special one for more ? I weight around 120 kg (264 pouds) for 195cm, and most of the time carry a full bag weighing 10 kg.
Secondly can you use these outside of city ? On road/ Forest ? I'm a photographer, being able to get to the forest like i use to with a bike would be nice. I've seen some type of wheel for all terrain (cloudwheel i think)
What budget should i invest ? I'm not rich, but i don't want to die in an accident for buying something cheap, and i have to keep some money for protection (again don't want to die).
Talking about protection, what gear are you guy using ? Are we closer to the gear of a skater or a biker ?
And lastly, how to test ? Using a tradi longboard for a time would simulate the sensation of an electric one ? Just to know if i really like the feeling. (i've already done a bunch of thing somehow similar (i think) snowboard/waveboard/surf ...)
thanks for reading, have a great day
