Firstly, our boards use lithium-ion cells for many reasons. They have a high energy density, so we can get more current, which translates to the boards’ power, out of a smaller space and keep the e-skateboard profile slim and looking like an actual skateboard. This is one reason why Evolves’ boards are the best electric skateboards on the market. They are low maintenance compared to other battery types, so no scheduled cycling is required. They have no memory effect to always deliver full performance and also have a slow self-discharge rate. Small lithium cells are also easy to assemble in the configuration our boards require, which in turn determines overall battery voltage and current output
