You should have a general idea about your skill level before purchasing any electric skateboard. Almost all of the best electric skateboards have multiple modes to suit riders of different skill levels. If you are ever unsure about which mode to use, start on the lowest setting possible and see how comfortable you are on it. You can then work your way up slowly before pushing yourself and experiencing the thrills at top speed. All electric skateboard modes are operated through their remote control meaning everything is manageable at a click of a button so you never lose control.
