    Absolutely incredible experience with Journ-E! From the outstanding customer service to the super-fast delivery and secure packaging, everything was handled professionally. The team is friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do. The quality of their electric skateboards is phenomenal, and the entire purchasing experience exceeded my expectations. It's refreshing to find a South African company that genuinely cares about its customers. Highly recommend Journ-E to anyone looking for an amazing electric skateboard and exceptional service!

    A Whole New Feeling of Freedom - Absolutely Incredible! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I absolutely ADORE my new Journ-E electric skateboard!! I honestly cannot put into words how incredible this experience has been!

    This board has given me a sense of freedom and movement I've never experienced before. There's something truly magical about effortlessly gliding along, feeling the wind in your face and having the freedom to explore. It's an absolutely AMAZING feeling!

    I also cannot praise the Journ-E team enough! Their professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail were outstanding from beginning to end. They helped me choose the right board for my needs and guided me through the entire process. Initially I felt a bit skeptical, but they made me feel confident and genuinely excited about my purchase. My board arrived in less than three days, beautifully and securely packaged, and everything about the experience felt premium. You can genuinely tell that these guys care about their customers and the products they're selling.

    And the board itself? JUST WOW!!! It's powerful, sturdy, beautifully designed and an absolute pleasure to ride!

    One of my favourite experiences was taking my two beautiful dogs to James & Ethel Gray Park in Johannesburg. While they were happily running around, I was cruising alongside them on my Journ-E Origins, effortlessly keeping up and enjoying every second! Usually, I'd be walking behind them, but now I can actually share in their excitement and adventures. Seeing them having the time of their lives while I glided alongside them was just priceless!

    It's so much more than an electric skateboard. It's a whole new way to experience the outdoors and turn ordinary moments into unforgettable adventures.

    I'm completely blown away and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I cannot recommend Journ-E highly enough! Absolutely phenomenal!!!

    Good service

    Board is perfect for riding on the tar roads, and gets me from the shops and back with groceries no problem. I've done boarding a while back but the shape of your boards make it very easy to get back into it, only fell twice and I was pushing it 🙃. All in all, a great product, thank you very much...

    I just got the phantom board and immediately loved it. I learnt to ride it quickly. I found it smooth and easy to ride.

    Incredible!!! No words can describe it. The feeling is out of this world! When you are flying down the streets it feels absolutely incredible.
    The board is Sturdy, durable, powerful and by all means a serious machine and not a toy!!!
    I first had my worries, but now I'm blown away.
    Would highly recommend it to anyone!!

    I Love this board, its so smooth and has such an easy learning curve! I will 100% purchase this again without a doubt.

    Expectations vs Reality

    If you expect a boosted board, you will be moderately pleased. The reason is that the maple wood is not as flexible as bamboo, which will limit the turning mobility. Otherwise, besides the logo (removing is pretty easy), it's fast, weighs around 10kg, and 96cm long. The remote is good, a bit more on the sensitive side (heads up). 8/10 I'm 70kg, and the range for me goes up to 14km, but I'm also on sidewalks, not going full speed cause 40kmh is extremely fast.

    Great product

    Without a doubt a value for money purchase, we are 4 men each with a board and we do on average a 12km ride on the Durban Promenade. I weigh 128kg and thought no way this board will take me and its been almost a year and still going strong. Caution this board does 40kmph no problems and if you meet soft sand you have an immediate stop.... Well the board stops not you so wear protection especially a helmet. Definitely looking at buying another 2 boards for some of the ladies now as they love it as well. Awesome to ride. Supplier one thing, where does i get new wheels when the time comes to replace? If you buy one you won't regret it

    Reply from Journ-EThanks Hugh - a year of 12 km Promenade runs at 128 kg is exactly what we build these for. On wheels: we stock replacements locally at journ-e.co.za/collections/wheels, and we hold spares in the country so you are not waiting on a shipment. Message us on WhatsApp with your board and we will point you at the right size.

    Bought it for myself as a quick way to go short distances. According to the booklet it goes 20km on a full charge, but its closer to 14km which is still alot. I was doubting that it would be powerful, but was pleasantly surprised with how quick it is. The only bad side to it is how big the logo is.

    Reply from Journ-EThanks Marcil - and fair on the range. Quoted range assumes a 70 kg rider on flat tarmac at moderate speed; real riding with stops and inclines lands lower, which is why we built the range calculator on site to give you your number rather than the brochure number. So please feel free to check it out! Thank you for the review!

    Very happy child

    We bought this for my son and he just loves it - well worth it!!!

    E board

    Heavier than expected and a bit difficult to turn so will require some adjustments but as a first time buy into the E powered things I'm pretty happy with it, I weigh 95kg and it works perfectly fine for me but I agree with the description, the lighter you are the better it will perform so if your over 120kg I don't think this product will meet your expectations, you'll have to find a board with a more powerful output
