For 1 week Uboard will be providing a 15% discount with the promo code 'fbuboard' on all products. Products start at $699 before the 15% discount.

UBoard is located in Australia and each product is checked thoroughly for Quality Assurance before being sold!

We have Blue, Black, White in stock now. We provide a 1 year warranty on all products!

All product sales come with an Australian output charger, carry bag, instruction manual and the UBoard unit.

We understand that there is a host of similar products being sold, our point of difference is that we have been to China and met several manufacturers and pinpointed the best variation. This has also enabled us to weed out the teething problems and be able to provide a finished product that is built to last! check out http://www.uboard.com.au

    Why did you link to a picture, rather than your website?

      I'd say it's because there is waaaaaayyyy too much going on when you visit their homepage :\

        Poor use of a video background

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:01

          Thanks for the feedback, the business is in its early stages, could you recommend a way to make it more appealing?

        • tin tin on 06/10/2015 - 13:07

          @Uboard: Make video darker to improve contrast, shoot a video that is more relevant to the product, or just have a static background?

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:09

          Thanks! we are in the process of making a video, I will be sure to update within a week or so

    Are these legal in Australia? @_@

        they are legal thanks

        Yeah seems NSW is probably a 'no'. Wondering about the legalities of electric skateboards anywhere else, though the board I'm looking at could 'pass' for a regular skateboard so I doubt anyone will notice. Unless I go up a hill. ;)

          "You are not allowed to use motorised skateboards, roller skates or roller blades on public roads, footpaths or nature strips. But, you can use these on private property."

    $699 RRP

    • Sage on 06/10/2015 - 13:01

      Way too much. We had a deal the other day at $280.
      I've read that they have sold for $89 USD.
      These aren't made by 1 company so the ones without licensing are fairly cheap and there's lots of competition.
      Neg for ridiculous cost.

      • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:07

        I appreciate the feedback, the supplier we use is more expensive than others, however the quality has proven to be much better and more reliable. Our product is aimed towards users who would rather pay a little extra for a stronger and better built unit

        • jasong on 06/10/2015 - 13:27

          Can you do a better deal for OzBargain since you've claimed to be the cheapest on the market? ;)

          From your Facebook page:

          People are having a hard time believing just how cheap the UBoard is, similar products are being sold worldwide from anywhere from $1000 - $2000.
          You can get a UBoard for more than half that price on http://www.uboard.com.au. But paying more means better quality right? In this case its quite the opposite,
          We are the only provider that actually perform Q/A tests in Australia, regularly communicates and meets with the supplying line. Not to mention our team has traveled the world, testing more than half a dozen variations to be sure that this product is the absolute best on the market.
          So Why is a UBoard the cheapest on the market? Well, a better question might be to ask other suppliers why they are selling this product for anymore than it needs to be sold at!

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:33

          On the date that post was made, we were one of the cheapest on the market. Some competitors are still selling it for more, however we are aware that some on gumtree etc are selling the product at cheaper prices. We will look to continually improve the price. with the discount you can purchase the product for $594.

          If anyone is aware of any businesses selling the product cheaper please feel free to link them.

  • d39833 on 06/10/2015 - 12:54

    I cant find the specs anywhere on the website?

    • stumo on 06/10/2015 - 13:00

      Don't worry, apparently they have been to China.

      • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:03

        Yes we were at the canton fair in may, when the product launched. the specs are listed in the purchase screen and in the instruction manual, will be sure to update the page to be more informative thanks

  • KiTau on 06/10/2015 - 12:59

    Do your company have any public liability insurance on these things because my friend said its quite unsafe if you use on the road when the battery dies it can throw you off maybe getting hit by a car etc. he imported a few costing around 300aud but no insurance company is taking the risk on this product so far

    • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:08

      We are in the process of obtaining all relevant insurances. Our product is not meant for roads and only for indoor use

      • [Deactivated] on 06/10/2015 - 13:12

        only for indoor use

        Reminds me of those mountain bikes that should not be taken off road

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:38

          very clever

  • StevieRay on 06/10/2015 - 13:00

    How do you know the other resellers have not "been to China and met several manufacturers and pinpointed the best variation"?

    • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:04

      Well I don't know that, however logic and basis of the market I have been involved in for 6 months would tell me that most would not have visited the supplier

    • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 13:59

      The 6 months is way misleading. The domain was only registered on August 16.

      • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 14:50
        -1

        so because I only registered a domain 2 months ago, its impossible to not have further experience. You do realise businesses did trade and start up before domain names.

  • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 13:12

    These look exactly the same as the ones going for 2-300 on eBay.

    • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:35

      Yes correct, feel free to purchase from these suppliers

      • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 13:55

        No thank you. Even they are making pretty good margins. I just had a quick convo to my sourcing guy and he can get the base model of that for 180AUD landed after taxes and port charges.

        This is a pretty bad ripoff when you haven't even included all the extras that are available such as bluetooth, remote. For anyone curious each extra costs about 5USD, also dodgy as how no specifications are listed.

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 14:00

          LOL 180AUD, specs are listed when purchasing

        • [Deactivated] on 06/10/2015 - 14:02

          Tell your sourcing guy I'll buy one for $181. Instant profit.

        • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 14:04

          @TightBottom:

          haha I would need to bring in half a container of these. However I can get an airfreighted one for you for 280/300 if you want. Not really interested in selling this item though tbh.

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 14:05

          why don't you post a link where we can all buy them for $181, I'll buy 50 right now!

          you do realise that when you go to the supermarket to buy an apple, the retailer did not buy them for the same price as the consumer right? and that there are different kinds of apples that do range in cost based on quality etc

        • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 14:05

          @Uboard:

          Yes I think you are either:
          1. Getting ripped off
          2. Going through an exporter in China
          3. Not getting enough quantity and getting them air freighted over

          @Uboard:

          Not with these products… you must be pretty new to importing if you truly believe that. I bet they told you to choose between the LG or the Samsung battery to.

          If you would like I can wholesale them to you for 280.

        • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 14:52
          -1

          so you are not a consumer, just a disgruntled competitor. you just mentioned $180, why are they now $280??

        • justinh93 on 06/10/2015 - 15:08

          @Uboard:

          Definitely not disgruntled nor a competitor. Just putting value on my time. I am still offering you a saving.

  • strikerzebra on 06/10/2015 - 13:16

    What happens if it breaks?

    • AssociatedUboard @ UBoard on 06/10/2015 - 13:34

      we have a 1 year warranty. However if the unit is broken as a result of misuse (notable damage) we can fix the unit at a small cost

      thanks for your concern, but until they stop selling I will continue

          I'm looking for a sales rep in NSW, maybe you are interested in that
