UDITER Pixel Rider Review

Hey eSkaters!

UDITER Pixel Rider is a unique entry in the electric skateboard market, blending solid performance with a feature never-before-seen in this space, an integrated LED screen on top of the deck. While most e-boards focus solely on speed, range, and ride comfort, UDITER Pixel Rider adds an extra layer of personalization, making each ride visually distinct.

UDITER Pixel Rider Review

Deck and Design

The deck is big enough at 38.2 x 10.8 inches to give you plenty of room to move around and stay balanced, which is a huge plus. It’s made from 11 layers of maple wood and 5 layers of fiberglass composite, so it feels super sturdy and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

Because of the fibreglass, the deck is extremely stiff and doesn’t have any flex. Which for the purposes of this electric skateboard is a good thing. Any flex in the deck would compromise the LED screen. It just means you’ll feel a little more of the road through your feet, however, it’s not too bad thanks to the wheel and bushings setup UDITER have opted for, more on that later.

The integrated LED screen is a total game-changer and unlike anything I’ve seen before on an electric skateboard. It’s really cool to be able to customize the animations through the app and make the board your own. Riding around at night with the lights on is going to turn so many heads!

When I first saw the screen on top of the deck, the grip tape was my biggest concern. I couldn’t figure out how they would be able to make the deck grippy enough to be able to safely rider this. 

It turns out, the grip on this board is constructed from a high-quality silicone material. This provides the same kind of traction and grip as traditional grip tape, ensuring your feet stay securely planted during rides. Additionally, the silicone material offers superior water resistance, preventing moisture absorption and maintaining its grip even in wet conditions. 

The other thing I wondered about is how dirty the screen got, because from experience, all my boards end up super dusty, which usually doesn’t bother me, but the Pixel Rider’s main drawcard is that screen, and if it’s dirty, how would that affect the quality of the image.

The screen does inevitably end up getting dirty, and the screen starts to look a bit murky, but because it is a silicone material, cleaning is a breeze because you simply wipe away the dirt with a damp cloth and it’s like brand new.

Wheels

Equipped with 105mm PU wheels, the Pixel Rider offers a smoother ride compared to the usual 90mm wheels found on most electric skateboards.

The larger wheels provide better shock absorption and stability, making it easier to navigate rougher city streets or uneven terrain.

Whether you’re carving through the city or cruising over potholes, these wheels ensure a comfortable ride, helping to reduce the impact of bumps along the way.

Trucks

The 8-inch CNC magnesium-aluminum alloy trucks on UDITER Pixel Rider are rock solid. They offer just the right amount of responsiveness, making it easy to carve and cruise at high speeds. Whether you’re navigating tight corners or just letting the electric skateboard roll, the trucks perform well in every scenario.  

The cylindrical bushings are what really elevate the ride here. They provide a balanced feel, especially at higher speeds, helping reduce unwanted vibrations. This makes the electric skateboard feel stable when you’re cruising fast, and it’s a real asset if you’re into smooth, controlled rides. The combination of the trucks and bushings work in harmony, providing a solid and enjoyable experience, whether you’re on a quick commute or just enjoying a long ride.

Battery and Range

The Pixel Rider comes with a 42V 10S3P 18650 7.8A 328Wh and is marketed to get around 25 miles (40km) on one charge, which is perfect for getting around or just cruising on the weekend. But, the best part about this battery is that it is a quick-swap system so if you run out of battery, you can just swap it out for a new one and keep riding.

The electric skateboard has a dual charging port system, allowing you to charge the battery separately from the board. This means you can leave the board behind, charge a spare battery, and swap it in to keep riding while the other battery is still charging. If you have two chargers, you can even charge both the battery and board simultaneously, reducing charging time to just 2 hours.

Motors, Speed, and Hill Climbing

UDITER Pixel Rider is powered by dual 600W hub motors, whether you’re cruising on flat ground or tackling a 30% hill climb, these motors will get you where you need to go without missing a beat. I’ve ridden on some pretty steep inclines, and the board never lost speed or stability. It’s a comforting feeling, knowing the motor won’t bail on you when the going gets tough.

The UDITER Pixel Rider tops out at 28mph (45 km/h), which is plenty fast enough to get that rush but not so fast it feels out of control. The 4 different speed and brake modes allow for a variety of riding styles. Whether you’re in the city or out on the open road, the motor’s power will keep you feeling like you’re gliding effortlessly.

ESC and Remote

With Linyi 2.0 Smart ESC, UDITER Pixel Rider ensures precise control and smooth acceleration and braking. The electric skateboard feels super responsive, especially when carving through turns or braking. It just feels connected to your movements, which makes it a lot more fun to ride.  

The remote is pretty straightforward but offers all the necessary information, including speed, range, battery level, and ride mode. 

Another bonus is modular design. If something breaks or you want to upgrade a part, the modular setup means you can easily swap accessories without having to buy an entirely new electric skateboard. This makes it a solid long-term investment.
