The Blink S2 is capable of reaching 18mph and can cruise for a total of 14 miles on 1 charge, and only weighs in at 12lbs. The battery compartment has been tested and is rated as “water resistant.” The motors are connected to the battery via custom designed rear truck that outputs 1000W of power. Each wheel contains a motor that is wrapped by a poly-carbonate wheel that is capable of both forward and reverse drive. The Blink S2 utilizes two in-wheel hub motors that provide a much cleaner look than it’s belt-drive counterpart. Acton put in a lot of work to design a clean looking undercarriage, and I believe that hard work paid off. You can see here that the belts and motor mounts take up a lot of real estate under the board, and really aren’t that pleasant to look at. The belt-driven motor does provide a very snappy response when the accelerator is pressed, does not look as aesthetically pleasing as the Blink S2’s in-wheel hub motors. As you will see below the difference between the overall aesthetic between belt-driven and in-wheel hub motors is quite intriguing. Acton, creator of the Blink S2, has used the in-wheel motor since their first board, the Blink Lite, hit the scene. The Blink S2 is a unique electronic skateboard because it does not utilize the belt-driven motor that many of the current top manufacturers use. ![]()
