Nothing against traditional longboards, but this gets me where I need to go in a fraction of the time. Less time spent traveling=more time to get stuff done. As a busy college student, this is awesome. Cute girls stare and sometimes even compliment me as I ride by, so that's a nice bonus.

I absolutely love this board. From the quality of the deck, the power of the motors to its incredible maneuverability, this is my favorite e-skate. The shorter board length makes for a really responsive ride that feels a lot like surfing when carving. Great job on this board.

THIS IS AN INSANE LITTLE BOARD! Its perfect size, has great speed and half the time I feel as if I'm just coasting! I use this mostly for film so pair this with a 3 axis gimble and it easily becomes the most valuable asset in film production. Runs smooth and so much fun carving around! If you're tired of walking and would rather ride then GRAB THIS BOARD

So far soo good. Thanks for the board nice to ride and the kicktail is wicked much easier to ride then a longboard. Short compact great at carving n sharp turns also dropping off curbs its much easier on this board - the kicktail is key works so well. Good job riptide you have crafted an awesome board.

Rode my R1 alongside a boosted board yesterday in about 30 degree winter weather.The boosted had a very slight acceleration advantage but the R1X has a slightly faster cruise top speed. I live around extremely steep hills and it and cruise up 95% of hills comfortably. I weigh 190 pounds and it has no troubles getting me anywhere! The quality of the trucks, wheels, and bearings is so smooth and stable.

TOP SPEED: 22 MPH
The R1X reaches a blistering 22 mph - our fasted board ever. Enhanced regenerative braking with our RX Remote mean you can come to a stop just as easily.
RANGE: 14 MILES
Never stop riding. With 14 miles of range you can take the long way home, or go on multiple rides per day without recharging.
SOFT WHEELS, BRIGHT LIGHTS
The R1X's cushy 90mm 74a ABEC11 ReFly Wheels feel like snowboarding - they're that smooth! Normally wheels this soft will chunk and wear out, but ABEC11 lent their 30 years of experience to the ReFly - their best wheel yet.
Head and Tail Lights from ShredLights can be set to bright, dim, or blink, depending on your riding style.
The R1X truly is our flagship, top-of-the-line model. We went all out on this one! We doubled the range and amped up the top speed by 2 mph, while still improving the comfort of the board both under your feet (our softest wheels yet) and in your hand - with the brand new RX Remote.
Designed in San Diego by lifelong skateboarders and surfers, Riptide was built on the belief that an electric skateboard can be super powerful and incredibly convenient, while retaining all the features that make an unpowered board great.
Our new RX controller features an oversized roller thumb wheel so you'll have finer control of both acceleration and braking. With the RX Remote you can either make small speed adjustments or redline the acceration depending on your need. Also, brighter LEDs and larger buttons make sure you always know your speed mode and charge level.
Note: The RX Remote is compatible with all R1 and R1 Elite models and can be paired in just 15 seconds following these directions.
Function: The R1X's kick tail allows you to tack around, pop it up, or even ollie curbs. Micro-concavity hugs your feet while carving. Built in handles mean you can literally carry the R1X with just one finger.
Form: The R1X's eye-popping Rosewood makes it look unlike any other board on the market. Detailed touches like the laser engraved logo add to the appeal
With a 3:1 gear ratio, deep-toothed 15M belts, and hardened pulleys, the Riptide's drive train can take you up steep hills - with refined control.
The "Hubs vs. Belts Argument" was easy for us. When matched with our short, stiff deck, all the hub motors we tested - and the minimal, low quality urethane that came with them - failed to provide the performance and smoothness we seeked.
I used to skateboard in high school, but hadn't ridden in years. When I saw electric boards come out I was interested but they were outside of my price range, plus I was never comfortable without a kick tail. When I saw the RX1 style with 14 mile range, I knew I had to have it. I was worried about what the experience would be like, having never ridden an esk8 before. Well... the acceleration is an adrenaline rush, and handles some tough uphills pretty darn well. It's great at carving too, despite the shorter scale. 11/10 would buy again!
Riptide Skate definitely has some attitude when riding it. I love the feeling of the old school skateboard looks. The dual belts drive are more powerful and faster than my dual hub motor Halo board 2. Distance and speed are on par w/spec. Using the Riptide's Blue wheels: Max speed: 21.8mph. I'm only 129 lbs. Love it! Kinda scare to put on the black wheel. Since, I only wear a baseball cap when riding. I might get 3-4 mph more from this R1x. My only advice for Riptide is: You guys should check out 121cboards.com. They have 4 models of Carbon Fiber boards, BEAUTIFUL! I bought all 4 boards. Going to build myself an electric board soon. The boards price are very reasonable! Please team up with these guys, get their boards and balance out your power to create your Unique Carbon Fiber Riptide. Build your brands with Carbon Fiber, Wood is just damn heavy!
So stoked on this battery- definitely worth the money to upgrade! First ride about 8 miles up and down hills and no loss of power whatsoever. I’m looking forward to many more long rides without power anxiety. Easy to swap out. Well done Riptide team!
Rode my R1X alongside a boosted board yesterday in about 30 degree winter weather. Boosted started out at 74% battery I was at 85% when we ended our hour long ride I was just over 40% and the boosted was totally drained. The boosted had a very slight acceleration advantage but the R1X has a slightly faster cruise top speed. I live around extremely steep hills and it and cruise up 95% of hills comfortably. I weigh 190 pounds and it has no troubles getting me anywhere! The quality of the trucks, wheels, and bearings is so smooth and stable.
So far soo good.. thanks for the board nice to ride and the kicktail is wicked much easyer to ride then a longboard.. short compact great at carving n sharp turns also droping off curbs its much easyer on this board kicktail is key works so well. Good job riptide you have crafted a awsome board. I have added kustom griptape to my deck not because i didnt like how it came it looked good as is. Just trying somthink different 👌👌
Hey guys,
I just recieved my bhoard about a week ago... I must say i have been having alot of fun riding.... My concerns are that the controller sometimes gets stuck in the forward position and that is not good and just feels cheap ( must say not a fan on the controller but still works)..... My other concern is that when braking the belt skips and i do not think that should be happening... Please advise if there is a way that i can fix that.
Awesome board
I'm 6 foot 230 pounds and the board whips me around like I'm half the size. Lots of fun.
I love my new riptide R1. I take it to class everyday, and it definitely helps me go up hills that I couldn’t with a normal longboard or even a hub motor electric board. Great product overall.
