Boosted Boards, once a pioneer in electric rideables, is officially shut down, with assets and IP acquired by Lime.

Prioritize comfort and style so you’ll actually wear it, and protect the most injury-prone areas—head, hands, knees. Use what you have, upgrade over time, and always ride responsibly. Quality gear saves pain, money, and downtime, making it essential for every rider.

Boosted Board, once a leader in electric skateboarding, collapsed under the weight of excessive venture capital and unrealistic growth demands despite raising $75 million.
