Скачать или смотреть Acton Blink QU4TRO Unboxing & 12 Mile Test Ride vs. Future Motion OneWheel Plus + Death Wobble!

On 4/20/18, I finally unboxed and test rode the electric skateboard that I pre-ordered/backed on Indiegogo back in November of 2016.

My friend Vlad, an experienced long-boarder, joined me on the Acton Blink Quatro (branded QU4TRO) for a cruise along the Sammamish River from Redmond to Kenmore.

I followed along on my year-old Future Motion OneWheel+ (OneWheel Plus).

While both devices are similarly priced; weigh about 25 pounds; and are both surprisingly quiet while in operation; they are completely different creatures.

Here are some benefits of each in my subjective opinion:
• OneWheel+: Operates on any terrain and turns on a dot; Super quick 30-40 minute fast charge; Remote-less lean-and-go operation; healthy community of add-ones and accessories
• QU4TRO: Powerful 4-wheel hub-motor drive operation; Goes up any hill (30% advertised incline); Long 22-mile range; Large surface area

Some drawbacks of each:
• OneWheel+: Short 5-7-mile range - range anxiety is a serious issue which forces close monitoring via app/watch, but is alleviated through DYI recharge kits and the upcoming release of the OneWheel+XR (eXtended Range), which trades a slower-charging battery chemistry and a pound of additional weight for 12-18 miles of range.
• QU4TRO: Stiffness of the board due to the solid aluminum frame; 200ms+ delay between remote operation and board reaction; Inability to make sharp turns; Questionable build & warranty support based on reports from previous two Acton products.
