Which electric skateboard to start with

There is no best electric skateboard in absolute terms, only a configuration that fits the way you ride. A beginner who wants to go for gentle rides does not have the same expectations as an experienced rider or a professional rental company.

Good to know

In short

Which board to start with, based on how you will actually ride

The six profiles below cover the most common ways Sternboard customers use their boards, each with a recommended starting configuration.

The digital nomad

Riding between several places you live in, where compactness and a removable battery matter more than raw power. See the urban nomad guide.

The boardsports rider

A rider who comes from skateboarding, surfing or snowboarding and wants a plan B when natural conditions are lacking. See the guide to the electric longboard for boardsports riders.

The outdoor family

Outdoor outings to share, without chasing performance. See the guide to the electric skateboard for outdoor family outings.

Urban mobility

An efficient commute, without looking like a toy. See the guide to the electric skateboard for urban mobility.

Van life

Compact transport between two stops on a trip. See the guide to the electric skateboard for van lifers.

Professional rental

Intensive use, exposed to sand, snow or rain: for rental companies, hotels and campsites. See the Professional rental guide.

The best electric skateboard? The one that fits how you ride

The Stern' is not an entry-level skateboard. The way in is the Stern' Urban 1000 W, with an integrated battery, at €1,990. Next come the backpack battery configurations, which go further. Choose by how you ride first, then by price. To put the eight configurations side by side, see the comparison tool; for the whole range, see The Stern' page.
