It has four speed levels and I haven't even been able to get it off the second level. I was getting speed wobbles, but I picked up some harder truck bushings last night, so hopefully that'll help smooth it out. It's a fricken rocket.

My teenage son has a long board with hub drive motors. It can top 35km/hr. He's eaten #### a few times already, but thankfully wears his helmet and the knee/elbow/wrist pads he got for Christmas. He also has headlights and flashing red rear lights that double as actual brake lights (decelerometer sensors).
