Performance

The battery provides about 10 kms of range on a single charge, and takes about 90 minutes to fully charge. The board has smart sensors to detect weight and motion. Push to start the endless mode where you can kick less to move more. The sensors also detect when you dismount, and can stop the board.

Design

The NG3 from Swagtron has mainly been designed for younger adults and kids. It is small, has 72mm polyurethane wheels, and weighs around 3.5 kilos. The deck is 8.9-inch wide and is made using super-dense polypropylene. This material is very durable, yet flexible for easy handling and shock absorption. The board can take a maximum load of about 60 kilos and features rear mounted LED indicators. These light up when braking and also show the connection status. If you’d like an electric skateboard that looks like a traditional longboard, then try out the RazorX Longboard Electric Skateboard.

Value

The Swagskate NG3 kids electric skateboard is great value for money, especially if this is your first electric board. It has just enough power to cruise around with ease, and offers good stability as well. The cruise technology is great, but can take a while to get used to. There is no remote control for the board, and all the moving and braking is handled by the onboard smart sensors. This kids electric skateboard is light and compact enough to carry anywhere. If you want a more versatile product, then try the Hover-1 Switch 2 in 1 Electric Skateboard.

Swagtron Swagskate NG3 Electric Skateboard Wrap Up

The Swagskate NG3 kids electric from Swagtron is an excellent choice for beginners. It features a lightweight and small form factor that makes it easy to carry around. The smart sensors make it easy to ride, and the 15 kmph top speed with 10kms range is plenty for most users. Unfortunately, the board doesn’t offer manual speed controls as there is no wireless remote.
