Design
The Blink S2 is made from Retrograde Aluminium (Aircraft Grade Reinforced Metal), with Canadian Maple Wood as the base; making it more rigid than the other skateboards in its range. It comes with integrated LED lights, perfectly engineered to suit riding in dark places. Owing to its natural wooden base, it is super sturdy and firm, yet extremely slim. The black, grey and clear grip tape provides state of the art support, the tape being the best in the industry.
The wheel bearings are oh-so smooth, almost buttery like. The board has no flexing, owing to its sleek design and you can feel each pebble, bump or vibration, just like regular skateboards from your childhood. The ride is soundless and fluidic, to say the least.
The board has a good foot space too, being 31.5 x 8.5 inches, suitable even for the tall riders, supporting up to 250 lbs. in weight. Acton has done quite a job on the Blink S2, making it look ultra-retro in design, yet having top and niche conduct.
Power and Performance
The S2 comes with dual hub motors for extra power, packed in a robust stainless-steel battery encasing. The motors help achieve mind blowing performance and top speeds in a matter of seconds. Enough to give you 14 miles, it comes with a wireless remote control– serving as the accelerometer and brake. It has 3 ride modes and comes ready with four built in LED lights– one on every side.
With 20% incline rate of 12 degrees, it gives you crazy uphill pull. The Acton Blink S2 takes just an hour to charge, and its most important feature is that it has two motors, four lights, all running on standard Samsung Lithium Ion Batteries, packed in durable steel.
It can hold up to 250 lbs., and has small, fast and efficient 83mm wheels. The Acton also comes equipped with a sensor to alert the rider of low battery. The Blink S2 is cheap, and is of great potential.
When you buy an Acton Board, you not only become the proud owner of this best in class skateboard, with the Acton App for iOS and Android, you can join the cult of other riders from across the world!
