Best Electric Skateboard in Canada (2019)

Top Choice: Boosted Mini x is the Best Electric Skateboard Canada

In March 2020, Boosted went out of business, so for this reason we no longer recommend you purchase a Boosted Board. All of their inventory was purchased, and is being sold by BoostedUSA.com. No previous warranties will be honored, but any boards purchased through BoostedUSA will have a 60 day warranty. BoostedUSA also provides repair services.

The Mini X doesn't have the fastest top speed, but it does have a powerful 1000w motor which makes it great for climbing steep hills. Being a small board makes it great for commuting and is easy to store (and lighter to carry), but also makes it a little bit trickier to ride at high speeds. In that respect, the board may be better suited to riders with previous boarding experience.

Another thing to note about this electric skateboard Canada, is that with a composite deck, it may be more well suited to a wet climate commute than an electric board with a plywood deck.

The NextGen 2 is one of the best electric longboards available in Canada. With dual 450watt motors (for a total of 900 watts of power), it can easily climb hills as steep as 15 degrees. With the dual motors, both wheels on the rear of the board have a powered wheel giving it more traction on wet or uneven surfaces then electric longboards with only a single in-wheel motor.

This is the heaviest board on our list, but it is also the longest board so it has the largest deck and that contributes to the overall weight.

One of the features, Canada, that puts this electric skateboard on some peoples must-have list (and on others not-haves list) is the AI touch-sensitive control. While the board does come with a hand-held controller, the longboard can also sense your desired actions based on intuitive weight shifts and can accelerate and brake.

The RazorX DLX electric skateboard is a step up from the Ripstick Cruiser electric skateboard. It has a more powerful motor, a longer range, and a faster top speed. However, for a serious commuter - as opposed to an electric skateboard for kids - this might not be the best choice. That being said, if you are new to skateboarding and want to get an electric board for your commute, this is an entry-level priced way to give it a try without investing too much. Plus, you have the added benefits of a brand that's been around for a while so you know you can expect quality, safety, and service just like Razor is known for.

Razor insists the DLX electric skateboard battery pack will last for up to 40 minutes of continuous riding, which should give a range of about 12 kms.

There are lots of satisfied owners, with even some people who have a top-of-the-line Boosted Board buying a Razor DLX as a play-around electric skateboard toy.

There are also some complaints about reliability, with the DLX board not taking a charge after only a few weeks of use. Sometimes the battery becomes a little loose in the plastic case under the deck, so you can wedge some cardboard into the case against the battery pack to hold it tight against the contact points. This only seemed to happen to some people, and with Razor's 90 day warranty and company history, it's not a deal breaker.

This entry level electric skateboard is great for kids

The RazorX Cruiser electric is an entry level cheap electric skateboard from Razor. Performance is less than some of the leaders in the industry, but the price is also substantially less, making it a great first board, and one of the best electric skateboard for kids.

Razor says the lithium-ion battery pack is good for up to 40 minutes of continual use, and since the electric motor is hooked to the rear wheels by a gear (rather than an in-wheel motor), you should be able to replace the wheels with any other skateboard wheels when they wear out.

RazorX Cruiser is recommended for ages 9 and up, but at the same time the 5 ply maple deck and 125w motor can support riders up to 100 kgs.

If you're looking for a cheap electric skateboard, this is about as cheap as they come. You can get one cheaper, but it'll be some no-name company. This has the brand reputation of Razor behind it, which is why it made it to our list of the best electric skateboards in Canada.

The Boosted Stealth Electric Skateboard is no longer seems to be listed for sale in Canada

With nearly the fastest speeds and longest range in our electric skateboard comparison, the Boosted Stealth comes in as our upgrade pick. It's almost twice the cost of the Boosted Mini, so it seems a little like overkill to us. However, it has by far the most powerful electric motor rated at 2100 watts!

All of this is a trade off as the Boosted Stealth electric skateboard weighs in at 7.7 kgs.

As with all Boosted boards, expect top notch customer service, and reliability that is second to none.

Ninestep Dual is a contender for the best electric skateboard, losing out because of some reliability complaints, but making up for it with significantly lower prices than our top choice

The Nine-step electric board calls itself a 'professional' electric skateboard. Built with high quality components, like the LG 6.6 amp hour battery pack and the dual electric brushless electric motors, the Ninestep says it can power up a hill as steep as 30 degrees! If steep inclines are a part of your commute or planned pathway, then consider this electric skateboard, Canada!

It also comes with the longest advertised range of 30 kms per charge. All of that is traded off in the weight - it's over 8 kgs so don't plan on carrying it a long way.

While the price is less than the Boosted brand of boards, this is built in China and reliability seems to be less than stellar. That's the only reason this board isn't our top choice for an electric skateboard in Canada.

While not a cheap board, the Maxfind electric skateboards give the Boosted boards some decent competition. They are cheaper than the Boosted boards, but provide similar performance, especially when compared to the Boosted MiniX.
