In-Depth Review: The Inboard M1 Android App Experience

I have always been fond of the general feel of hubs, allowing me to effortlessly coast and ride it like a standard longboard. With hub motors, I can push the board when it runs out of battery - which is inevitable. While I still love the appearance of the M1, I recognize that it's a more expensive approach and less serviceable by the end user compared to other options.

The Inboard M1 boasts a stiff, clean-looking deck with all components integrated inside, giving it a sleek and modern design. Its appearance stands out in an era where many longboards have adopted the Boosted look or feature an enclosure that runs the full length of the deck.

After extensive use over the past four years, I can reflect on my experience with the Inboard M1. While it has held up well overall, it was not without its faults. I've used this board as a daily commuter to the city, a grocery getter, and a recreational vehicle. According to my Inboard app, I have clocked an impressive 643 miles of use on the board.

In hindsight, the Inboard M1's performance has been solid, but it did not meet some of its initial promises. The board required firmware updates to address performance issues, which were well-documented online. Despite these challenges, the Inboard M1 has remained a reliable and enjoyable ride.

Unfortunately, the Inboard M1 is no longer in production and can only be purchased second-hand or through third-party resellers. This marks the end of an era for Inboard, as the company has shifted its focus to fleet scooters. The legacy of the Inboard M1 lives on, however, serving as a testament to the innovative spirit that once drove the company's efforts.

Overall, my experience with the Inboard M1 Android app has been positive, despite some initial teething issues. While it may not be the most affordable option, its sleek design and reliable performance make it an attractive choice for those seeking a premium longboarding experience.
