Unlike some other boards on the market, the Quatro sports a set of hub motors, meaning the motors live inside the wheel and don’t need to be attached via a belt or chain. The Quatro is easily one of the most feature-packed eboards we’ve ever stood on.įirst and foremost, there’s the motors. To hold all that battery, the board is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, and feels extremely sturdy as a result.

On top of that, it’s also equipped with a massive battery that fills up the majority of the board’s 39-inch deck, and provides over 22 miles of range on a single charge.

It also has insane amounts of torque - enough to push a car on flat ground, or propel a 165 pound rider over a hill with a 30-percent grade. This monstrosity of a skateboard carries four hub motors (one in each wheel) that collectively provide 2,000 watts of power, and propel the board along at speeds up to 23 miles per hour. It’s called the QU4TRO (henceforth referred to simply as “Quatro”), and we rode it around Portland for a few weeks to see how it stacks up against some of the bigger names in the electric longboard space. Nearly two years ago, a Californian startup named Acton launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a four-wheel-drive skateboard.
