MEEPO

After well over 100 miles on the MEEPO V3 MAX and feeling like a fairly skilled intermediate-level rider, I still have plenty of fun and room to push for new skill sets on that board. Cruising and even light carving at 20 mph are now commonplace on my rides. Even so, I never thought much about my size until I received the MEEPO Go for review. The V3 Max is rated for riders up to 330 pounds, and as someone who is 6’5″ and 240+ pounds, or 195 cm and 110 kg+ for my metric friends, that makes sense.

The MEEPO V3 MAX electric longboard is widely touted as an excellent beginner board, and after spending some time with it, I can see why. As a 37-year-old man who has skated short and longboards for most of my life but never touched an electric board, I thought I would transition seamlessly. I quickly learned, however, that approaching electric boards requires a learning mindset, especially if you think hopping into the higher gears right away is a good idea; spoiler alert — It isn’t.
