Many group rides take place at night or extend into the parts of the day where visibility isn't so great. So getting light for your boosted board are becoming a much-needed item of the many boosted board accessories.
The IWONDERoffer custom lights made for boosted boards. As they are built for Boosted, they fit the board, dont wobble around while your riding and you dont need to worry about them falling off.
The lights are powerful, give you a wide range of visibility.

Boosted Board Wheels

Boosted board come with excellent standard wheels. But you can quite easily change them for a different set of wheels, giving you a better carve or more cushioning.

You can even change them out of offroad wheels. More on these later.

[amazon box="B07CLMPP98" title="Orangatang Caguama 85 mm Boosted Board Wheels" description="

  • Fast & Comfirable
  • Lots of grip
  • Durable

"]
The most popular wheels most boosted board riders change to is the Orangatang Kegel 85mmm. Being the same size as the boosted board, there is no need for any additional changes to the board for them to work.

Orangatang Kegel wheels are designed to achieve maximum speed and grip during any ride.

The sharp, square lips of the wheels will give you maximum grip while still allowing you to slide at maximum speed with little traction when needed.

The urethane compound is durable and will take a lot of punishment before you start getting any signs of wear

Boosted Board Offroad Wheels

[amazon box="B07VHZV2BJ" title="Slick Revolution Electric Skateboard Wheels Foamies 120mm" description="

  • 120mm Diameter
  • Can use offroad
  • Different Colors avalable

"]
When I talk about offroad wheels here, I'm not referring to the all-terrain wheels you can get on the Evolve series boards.

But wheels which aren't entirely flat and smooth meant only for the road.
A few companies are now making wheels which are suitable for both roads and off-road tracks — providing grip on a multitude of surfaces.
Slick Revolution, have not only been making electric skateboards but also providing accessories like off-road wheels.

With a size of 120mm even most of the cracks, twigs & dumps you may encounter on an off-road ride, these wheels will glide over.
To install these onto your boosted board, you will also need to buy the conversion kit below.

[amazon box="B07Q3WC9VR" title="Slick Revolution Wheel Pulley Conversion Kit for Boosted Boards" description="

  • Use Offroad wheels on Boosted Board

"]

Deck Guards

[amazon box="B07HF8WC7R" title="ZUEXT Boosted Board Deck Guards" description="

  • Easy to Install
  • Extends the life span of your deck

"]
Most Boosted owners will stand the board on its end when they're not using it. Or use the slight kick tail to drop the board from a holding position.

Over time this can cause damage to the deck itself, and in some cases the deck can start to crack, resulting in a complete deck swap.
With Deck Guards, they will stop any damage of this nature to the deck, expanding the overall life of the board.

Helmets

The absolute first boosted board accessories you should purchase after you've placed your Boosted Board order is a helmet.

You will want the helmet to arrive before you get the board, as you dont want to be stepping on an electric skateboard without a crash helmet on.

Wearing a helmet is the difference between life and death.
Right, that's the speech done, now let's have a look at some boosted board helmets.

As the boosted board has a top speed of 20mph+ and the likely hood of getting thrown forward during a crash on a skateboard, then a full-face helmet would be your better option.

TSG Pass Full Visor Helmet

[amazon box="B07GP5MYM6" title="TSG Pass Helmet" description="

  • Great Visability
  • Perfect Fit
  • Extra Visor

"]
Here we have the helmet which was engineered with World downhill skateboard champion Martin Siegrist.

Designed for skateboarding, you get an excellent field of view with a minimal restriction at the sides of the helmet.

Its made from a Hardshell fiberglass construction, with the standards of EN 1078, CE, ASTM F1952.

With built-in airflow around your head and a nose & ear ports for added comfort.

You can adjust the size of the helmet by adding or taking out padding within the helmet.

The visor is tinted, but you can see through if looking from the outside.

Boosted Board Stand

[amazon box="B018FCZKR2" title="AmazonBasics A-Frame Stand" description="

  • Will Fit Your Boosted Board
  • Save on space
  • Make a room look tidy

"]
Ok, I know this is built as a guitar stand. But it can also double up as a Boosted board stand, Holding your Boosted board upright for the next ride.

When you place your board on the stand, you won't believe it was never intended for this purpose.

Whichever room you've decided to keep your boosted board. Having a stand to hold your board will help make the room look a lot tidier than just having the boosted board leaning up against the wall.

Boosted Board Wall mount

[amazon box="B07D3C6PTQ" title="US2U Displays Skateboard Wall Hanger" description="

  • Hang your board on the wall
  • Save on space
  • Make use of wall space

"]
Here we have another accessory which was built for one thing, but in fact, works out to be a great addition to the boosted board accessories.
Having a wall mount instead of a stand means you make better use of the wall in any room.

If you have a few electric skateboards, then getting a wall mount will be your better option as you can hang up the boards above each other.

All-in-one Tool

[amazon box="B072LY5824" title="Zeato All-in-One Skate Tools" description="

  • All in one design
  • Easily carry on any ride
  • Lightweight

"]
The all-in-one skateboard tool is an absolute must, when out on rides. It will enable you to adjust how tight the bushings are, allowing you to change your carve, or tightening them up for more stability at higher speeds.

Not to forget about tightening the wheels. You can't take it for granted that the bolts holding your wheels are going to stay where they are — considering the amount of vibration loads they can receive.
I always check these before every ride.

Belt Replacement Kit

[amazon box="B07BJM6NZ6" title="Huck Boys Boosted Board Replacement Belt Kit" description="

  • Change Boosted Boards Power Belts
  • Maintaine your board

"]
If you own a boosted board, then you already know they are driven by motors which are connected to the drive shaft via a belt.

Like anything, the belt will erode over time and snap, leaving you helpless or underpowered if one snaps while you're out on a ride.
I always advise carrying at least 1 replacement belt with the tools to swap it out.

Just like a cyclist will have a puncture repair kit. Any boosted owner should also have a Belt Replacement Kit. Above are the best ones you can buy.

If you already have the replacement kit, and you're just after the belts then here is my recommended purchase.

[amazon box="B07TRYVSQY" title="Kutrick Boosted Board Kevlar Belts" description="

  • Durable
  • Perfect fit

"]

Boosted Board Bearings

If the bearings of your boosted board are coming to an end and you're looking for a replacement. Or you're just looking for better once than the standard which comes with the board.

Here are my possible replacements.

Oldboy Premium Ceramic Bearings

[amazon box="B075QLMQW6" title="Oldboy Premium Ceramic Bearings" description="

  • Smoother Ride
  • Extended Life
  • Water Damage Free

"]
These Oldboy premium bearings have an incredibly smooth ride, with minimal drag, which will slightly improve the distance you get out of the battery.

Not by much, but enough for you to notice the difference.

Made with indestructible polished glass balls, they have exceptional longevity compared to bearing made with metal bearings, as the metal bearings are prone to rust and easily scratched by dirt.

Extra lubrication will reduce everyday wear and tear on the bearings and also makes them more resistant to water damage.

Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings 8 Pack

[amazon box="B000FDRQ1S" title="Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings" description="

  • Best selling bearing brand in the US

"]
Bones are one of the most well-known bearings manufactures.
The set comes with 8 Bones Reds bearings which are pre-lubricated with speed cream, to enable less friction at high speed.

Although they are cheaper than the bearings, I've listed above, and the average rider will be hard to notice any differences.

Conclusion Of Boosted Board Accessories

As you can see, there are plenty of boosted board accessories to choose from.
The bonus of having the most popular electric skateboard is lots of manufacturers making accessories to make your life of owning and using a boosted board even more comfortable.

Not everyone will feel the need for all of these items, but I've tried to cover all the areas where the accessories will be useful.

Lights are always handy, even if you rarely go out in low light, as they can also make the board look even better in the day. But as they're a safety feature, it's always worth having them available to use.

Having a boosted board belt replacement kit with you can save you if you're miles from home, and a belt does snap. Remember, belts can go at any time, even if they're new.

So having the option of changing the belt while out on a ride and save you having to kick push your board all the way home.
