They have a wide range of travel and absolutely no wobble at speed ie very stable when travelling fast.
Ordered a new deck and wheels for my old Ownboard W1, they arrived in very good condition and time frame. The guys from support were very kind and quick to answer my requests and questions. See y’all next time when I’m ready to upgrade my gear!
was pretty easy to set up i had some difficulties making the ride drive ratio but i had contacted onboard and they helped me out. very good product and it looks, feels, and performs amazonia just like the original.
sorry. i have not received any package from you. could you please confirm that you have sent this package?
Here it is…after 380 miles on the Prometheus, I’m ready to spill the tea on the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly! The Good: The quality of build and components are 2nd to none! Reliable and exceptionally powerful LinnPower Gear Drives, Incredible Range, Decks combo of perfect foot feel, stiffness for stability, and just the right amount of flex for shock absorption and fatigue reduction is in a word…perfect! Speaking of perfect, the blissful high pitched whine of those huge motors at around 18+ MPH that sound like wizzzing Jet Turbines is simply music to my ears! Off Road I can attest to the fact that it is truly a Beast! Between the flex of the deck and the agility of those sick MBS Matrix III Trucks…it simply makes short work out of all but the most treacherous of trails! Pro Tip: Learn how to adjust and swap out those highly adjustable bushings to customize your preferences. It’s not only ridiculously easy to do, but they are probably the most customizable trucks on the market for what ever environment or style you prefer! The Bad: You will look and feel Bad A$$ and think you’re invincible at times. Trust me…you’re not! As well, you will get tired of people asking you How fast does that thing go? And then challenging you to show them…like your some kind of circus freak whose gonna take a chance with your life at that exact moment for their amusement?! The Ugly: The sometimes unpredictable throttle delay that OwnBoard has rapidly addressed by reaching out to all its Prometheus customer base and providing them with replacement remote to solve this specific issue! That was simply my only slight concern or complaint, and they’ve addressed it with me before I even said a word…it’s almost like they listen to their customers thoughts…even before they’ve expressed them?! 🤔😱

sometimes the Bluetooth connection of the remote control to the board disappears at speed. How can I fix this problem?
Another quality product from a company you can trust.
I've had the pleasure of owning and riding Ownboard ZEUS for over 2100 miles and it's still going strong. Just a beautiful board.
When I saw PROMETHEUS I had to have it and let me tell you, it's not just transportation; it's an experience! Whether you're a seasoned skater or a newcomer looking for a ride, this board checks all the boxes for performance, design, and sheer fun!
Right out of the box, the board's precision design catches your eye. It boasts a robust construction with a deck that feels sturdy yet flexible, offering just the right balance of stability and responsiveness. The board's aesthetics, with its clean lines and modern look, make it a standout, whether you're cruising through the city streets or off-road.
The motors, which provides serious torque to tackle any grade hill with ease, something that pleasantly surprised me. Acceleration is smooth, thanks to the variable speed trigger, allowing beginners to feel comfortable while giving seasoned riders that adrenaline rush.
Battery life is particularly impressive considering the board's performance capabilities. The board offers a remarkably smooth stable ride at any speed, thanks to the high-quality precision made MBS CNC Matrix III trucks with Linnpower gear drive to create a groundbreaking adjustable drivetrain that has the ability to go from carvy to stable with a simple adjustment.
The remote control feels intuitive, with clear feedback on speed, battery and more status.
Prometheus is a blend of power, design, and range making it an excellent choice for anyone interested in electric skateboarding. While it's an investment, the quality and enjoyment it provides justify every penny. If you're looking for a new way to commute with style or just want to add some electric fun to your life, this skateboard is highly recommended.

I have honestly only ridden once since my upgrade, due to heavy downpours/icy roads, but such a smooth feeling.
So I have to say I changed bushings on top of new esc on top of new motors, so like no wonder it feels great. Only little thing, and the reason for 4 star, was I emailed twice to get a video showing the assembly of the motors. For me I had to literally force the cable to connect, and I was worried if that was commonplace. My response was a group of pictures and they were helpful, just not what I needed.
I still recommend ownboard, long lasting and well designed boards, at least for me.
