Are your electric longboards waterproof?

Our boards are water-resistant, not waterproof. Most our our boards have an IP rating of 54.

Summit XT & Rampage are exceptions with IP65 rating. We don’t recommend riding them in the pouring rain, but you wet roads generally don’t cause issue.

On our other boards, It’s best to stay out of the rain, avoid puddles and stay off roads that just got rained on. However, if you get caught in some light rain or ride through a puddle, by accident, it’s not going to kill your board. It’s just best to avoid these situations.

Drying roads that are still a little damp are acceptable to ride in and usually won’t cause issue.

Our warranty doesn’t cover water damage. We have stickers on the electrical components inside the boards that turn red if they’ve been exposed to water. If these stickers are red, the damage isn’t covered by our warranty. Riding in water is at your own risk. We have any of the parts you need in stock and available for purchase.

You won’t find any information about water resistance on the product pages for our boards because our warranty doesn’t cover water damage. We would rather be honest with our customers, rather than promote a product as water-resistant and leave you to pay for damage out-of-pocket if it breaks due to riding in water. We want to educate you on the best practices when it comes to taking care of your board and getting the longest lifespan possible.

Financing – Affirm

Affirm is a third-party lender. Much like a bank, Affirm provides potential customers with a loan so they can purchase a product. Shaboardz doesn’t finance your board – Affirm does.

If you use Affirm to purchase a board, you pay them, not us. Just like a bank, Affirm will collect your personal information to qualify you for a loan. If you don’t pay the loan back, it directly affects your credit score.

If you’re interested in financing your new board – choose Affirm/ Make Payments as the payment option at checkout.

Get 0% APR interest on 3-month plans. You can also choose plans of 6 to 12 months in length, but there will be interest added to the price of the board. The interest rate is determined by Affirm.

Payment options through Affirm Canada Holdings Ltd. (“Affirm”). Your rate will be 0–31.99% APR (where available and subject to provincial regulatory limitations). APR offered is based on creditworthiness and subject to an eligibility check. Not all customers will be eligible for 0% APR. Payment options depend on your purchase amount, may vary by merchant, and may not be available in all provinces/territories. Actual payment option terms will be shown at checkout. A down payment (or a payment due today) may be required. Affirm accepts debit cards and PAD as forms of repayment on payment options. Select payment options may be eligible for repayment in the form of credit cards. Please review the terms and conditions of your credit card when using it as a form of repayment. Sample payment options may be: a $800 purchase could be split into 12 monthly payments of $72.21 at 15% APR, or 4 interest-free payments of $200 every 2 weeks. For more information, please see https://www.affirm.com/en-ca/how-it-works.

How can I pay with Crypto?

You can now pay for your new electric skateboard or mountainboard with crypto!

When shopping on our website you’ll be able to select “Pay with Crypto” after you enter your shipping/billing information for your order – you’ll see the utrust logo as one of the payment options. After making the selection you’ll be redirected to the Utrust website where you have the option to pay with a variety of cryptocurrencies, which include: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Elrond (EGLD), Utrust (UTK) & Dash (DASH).

We can also send an invoice direct to your email & you’ll be able to pay the invoice with cryptocurrency. If this way makes more sense for you then give us a call: 604-250-9039

Utrust locks the value of these coins for 15 minutes based on the current value. Once you make the selection on which coin you’d prefer to pay with, you’ll have the option to Scan a QR code or copy the wallet address and manually send the payment from your wallet. Shaboardz will process your order just like any other and your new e-board will soon be on its way. Utrust pays Shaboardz in fiat currency, we don’t receive the crypto.

Can I get ticketed for riding an electric skateboard?

The short answer is NO.

Shaboardz has been in business for over two years and during that time none of our customers have been ticketed or had any negative interactions with police. We also do a lot of riding and commuting and we’ve never had a negative experience with the police.
