Electric skateboards and skateboards in general are becoming a more popular way of commuting. Not just your regular commute though, no, there is this special term that is being used for this “way of commuting”. It’s called a last mile commute. The last mile commute occurs when you have to walk from place to place for more than 20 minutes. Then there must be a more convenient way to commute. That’s where the skateboard comes in. A cruiser board, penny board, long board or electric skateboard all seem pretty good choices. Of course skateboarding brings the solution but it’s not the regular street skateboard that comes to help. It are those other forms of skateboarding that will become the future of the “last mile commute”. There is a full review up on my channel about the electric skateboard in this video but I do not recommend it since it stopped working a week after the review. I do like my penny board and of course the regular skateboard in this video. As shown in the video I do not own a longboard but there are good reasons for that. I linked some current proper ‘last mile commutes on top of this description”.

I personally do my commute to school on a simple street skateboard, but I live on a hill so its basically one long hillbomb.
Dovydas Grigas that’s fucking awesome
But going up should be a absolute pain in the ass or not?
Cid Titulaer you can skitch up
This is amazing , sadly I got expelled
Dovydas Grigas lucky bastard
Put cruiser wheels onto the street board, and you've got such a good commute board. This is what ive been doin, one board for commute and one for tricks.
Same ! I also use a normal skateboard but with cruiser wheels
i dont know any trick but i have a skateboard with 60mm wheels for comuting
Facts
a video about the biking culture in amsterdam would be cool 👍
its not only in amsterdam in the whole netherlands its more likely to have a bike tham a car

Yep! Got myself a 22" Penny for my last mile commute. I swapped out the wheels for Bones Rough Riders and Reds bearings to combat cobblestones, works well!
Soft wheels on the cobblestone. It’s like floating on a cloud. OJ Juice.
Yeah, soft wheels are more for cruising and transportation and he's obviously using hard wheel so its definitely hard to commute
I just got a genuine penny board off ebay second hand for $1. Best deal ever!
I commute with regular skateboard and hard wheels, but the half of the way to my work is unskateable, so I thought just to buy cruising wheels. I think it's a good option as the regular skateboard is really comfy, can be attached to a backpack and you can actually do some tricks while you go - not everything will work because of the wheels, but even making regular ollies will move you forward on curbs :). It's more heavier than penny board though, even when attached to your backpack ;).
:)
I love commuting with my regular street skateboard in my city. Streets and sidewalks are all just so smooth and perfect

jeff is MY waifu excuse me
Dude i have skated around 4 years with regular skateboard and last year i bought my self longboard and i think its alot better than penny :) love your vids!
Nice vid. I'd like to say that an electric skateboard is very useful, however, the fact of usin' an alternative vehicle like a bycicle or skateboard is to make some effort to commute and this helps a lot to your own health and encourages not to be sendetary.
Just got back from Amsterdam and they are doing it right, even the air feels clearer too breath in compared to London! Also it shows how much work your putting into your videos bruh keep it up!!!
you should!! Longboarding through Amsterdam this last summer was AMAZING! all we had to do was act like a bicycle and it was perfect! all around the core all the way out to and around Vondelpark!!!! coming back in september! maybe we can go for a ride!
Man, i can;t believe i've been going to Nederlands at least once a year for 10 years now and never saw your channel for the best spots.
You should make a video about Amsterdam!! I love learning about the cultures of other places!
I don't have an electric skateboard because I feel like i would eventually stop remembering to charge it and it would end up as an expensive, heavy, not electric skateboard
I personally prefer my cruiser, but I originally started with Skateboarding 10+ years ago.
I used that to commute for like 7 years lol, then I bought a used Bustin Brooklyn Longboard from a guy I met. Used that 3 years to commute, until I got my Sector 9 Cruiser.
This thing I can tell is by far the superior choice.
It's as fast as a Longboard, while you're still able to ollie everything. When you're getting used to it, you can actually do every Fliptrick as you could on a Skateboard.
Great video btw, I enjoyed seeing Amsterdam a lot :)
Tricks don’t matter but it is nicer how light some the smaller cruisers are and easier to carry. Walking down the street with a regular longboard starts to weigh on you as you get further into the walk, specially if it’s a hot day.
My 32 inch cruiser has been my last mile commute for a year now and I haven’t been happier
I like these type of videos where you fix a problem.
I work in Amsterdam and actually commute my last mile to work on a Penny board. Love it!
I skate in average 2km (1.24 miles) from my workplace to my home on my popsicle. I also have a longboard but it's more of a downhill/freestyle setup and It's way to big for cruising. I also changed my wheels from 52mm 101a spitfires to 52mm 80a ricta clouds, 57mm 78a mob magic street wheels and 60mm 90a powell peralta rat bones.
Softer and bigger wheels feels more confortable but I don't feel much faster and I like the feeling and sound my hard wheels make if I roll over cobblestone-streets (the more smoother ones). I feel less exausted with the softer/biger wheels at the end.
But also like 1/3 of my way is downhill. As I started skating I skated to my workplace from home too, that means up the hill which almost killed me everymorning so now my mom drives me one way now.
My way is like 24mins by walking, 5mins by driving and 10 mins by skating.
I use my old 7,5" street deck with a set of penny wheels I bought from ebay for 15 €.
For me, living in a big german city, this is still the best for quick commuting. The wheels were enough to get rid of the problem with coupple stones and rough grounds.
A penny board is to fast, small and dangerous for me, but I still was very used to just cruise with my old deck.
It was like a 10+ to comfort with the new wheels. You should try that sometimes.
honestly a great video! so well put together with great info. you should definitely make more vids like these
My town has some bumpy thing for sidewalks just to stop skateboarding....bruh
I also use Penny board anywhere I go in my city! :) Its the best! Especially when you have to carry it around in your hand. Its so light! :D
I love your videos so much!!! Your style of making these videos are unique and creative. You inspired me to relearn to skate again. Just wanted to let you know :3
Hello Mr Bruh, disagree about the regular skateboard not able to fit into the category; I have got Antihero 9,25 deck, put 2 sets of shock risers, riding 59 mil bones rough riders and it works just fine on the rough London terrain. If I wanted to, I could fit this setup on something not as wide as 9,25, but maybe 8,5 or so - without any problems. Regards.
XvallorX he is obviously referring to the basic 'street' setup (regular skateboard) which consists of hard wheel for landing tricks. Softer wheels are great for rough terrain but the smaller harder wheel which is commonly used on a regular trick board sign suitable. Also bones wheels are fricken great 👍🏻
Hi Cal, the beauty of skateboarding is: you can customize your board to your preferences. For example, I like to ride 8.5 inch, 58 mil hard bones SPF's, but my friend is riding 8 inch board with low thunders and 50 mil wheels. If we want we could just change some parts and adjust to the environment. Regards.
Had the same thought process, he categorized it in : Longboard / Electric / Pennycruiser
But totally forgot the regular sized cruiser, which in my opinion is the far superior option for every skill level since it combines all the best aspects.
It offers the larger board for stability, the big wheels to be able to ride fast and pretty much anywhere and remains close to a regular board for the feel/transportability.
And, very important for the actual skaters, you can pop some good ollies if needed (you can do it on a pennyboard but its harder and your plastic tail wont last long.)
Yes! I can pop a good ollie even on my 9.25 with large wheels (in fact, I can pop it higher than my regular "skatepark" setup) and jump over the holes / curbs. Do that on electric board lol xDD Cheers
Sk8 4 life you judge people based on what they skate on? I think this kind of attitude is retarded.
Ive only done 3 kickflips on a penny in my life. Just randon times. Started skating with a new board 8.4 supreme and i cant kickflip just focusing on getting my lack of skateboarding outtq my life qnd just skating everyday. Drunk post
My city is a construction mess and lots of areas just straight up don’t have sidewalks, they just recently put a sidewalk up to the skatepark, before that you had to carry your board through a field
nice video. I have a little tip just in case if you want to do another uber delivering thing. Put griptape on your penny board. You can ollie some stuff maybe even powerslide if your wheels are hard enough. Also it looks quite good in my opinion
Please do make a day in the life in Amsterdam... I'm deciding whether to go to uni there or in Utrecht since I've gotten accepted in both cities and I want to know which one would be better! Keep doing ya thing bruh!
Carlos Badilla Amsterdam is pretty expensive and pretty damn packed. I'd say Utrecht is a pretty good option, and its very close to Amsterdam so you could pretty much go to Amsterdam whenever you want. G'luck tho!
Thanks for the help, man. its appreciated for sure!
I started out on a longboard then started skating after a year. It’s a good gateway
in 2022 electric is getting more expensive although you still see a lot of electric skateboards not needing to charge your board and being able to grab it and go are a massive bonus of the regular street skateboard, plus being way more affordable outright, and getting cardio isn't a bad thing.
The biggest problem with electric skateboards and other motorized balance boards in the Netherlands is that the government sees them as motherized vehicles without a licence plate making them technically illegal to drive.
You should review the Landyachtz Dinghy! That would be really cool :). I am thinking about buying it too!
Nah I'm not changing my skateboard for any other. I've always considered cruisers etc to look dumb as hell for me. I'll stay in nostalgia
@Benjamin McCann bro what thee fuck is you talking bout
My more than 2 years old comment besides, why do you care
@@ruisleipa7014 lol im a month late but ofc ppl would get offended if u straight out state other kind of boards are dumb. sometimes u gotta keep ur opinion to urself. btw u got ur grammar wrong tho im not a grammar nazi. no offense
@@decentea9891 my grammar is not perfect because my english is not my mother language.
@@ruisleipa7014 na isokay it's not my mother language either
Bones Wheels released cruiser wheels so u can ride ur normal traditional skateboard through the city without being uncomfortable. Ride is smooth
There is also something that is better than wheels! Avenue suspension trucks
We want the bicycle themed video bruh
Bicycle Bruh
thrashed potatoes imsomniac was better
uhhhh... we do?
just get soft wheels
Yeah, and replace the hard wheels. Thats what I did with my skateboard, but once I get a cruiser board, I don't need to constantly change wheels
Awesome video
Did some longboarding to get to the ferry and then the last mile.. agreed on the wheight factor… a small cruiser in combination with for instance..
A “MellowBoard” would be great:
It basically a pair of wheels that you put under any board..
I don’t own it but would be my first choice since you can transfer it to other boards if that would suit your needs
Great video man! I think a video about bikes in Amersdan would be sick!
Hey Braille skateboarding has a video with a collapsible long board this would be the perfect last mile commute it works just as well as a normal long board and it folds to be the size of a penny board
Amari Smith I could totally see that either being heavy or breaking in half

Oh man, skateboarding, can't imagine myself skateboarding, this device is from hell, I feel like I'm gonna fall any moment and that the smallest rock or gap will tip me over. Remember once me and my mate had the genius idea of riding a skateboard downhill while pulled by a motorcycle, I quickly realised that I was barely able to upright on that thing let alone going 100km\h downhill. My city has kinda crappy roads, but I might give it a try.
parking at my school sucks. i have to walk a little over a quarter mile to get to the actual building. i ride a standard popsicle deck to class to save time, but my roads are really nice so it’s easy
When I was in Amsterdam I remember that there was some garbage collectors that were picking up bicycles from the bottom of a river and when they finished the work they tried to put the bikes on the river embankment but one of these felt in the river again and they started swearing, and that was so hilarious and weird that we thought that they were filming a movie LMAO
I think it relates to how far you have to go. Around 1 km the penny is great. Used it for my last mile commute at Schiphol airport all the time. Over 2km the electric skateboard maybe a bit nicer.
I think the street skateboard with soft wheels is the way to go if you don’t want to use electric
Yeah, I use that way as well
I ride a skateboard for the last part of my commute, NYC banned electric boosted boards on the streets and in trains. Never been a fan of longboards because of the weight. Penny boards are cool but sometime I want to do a little more than just commute.
I love the penny board
There is also a long board version of it
Looks exactly like the cobblestones here in Leipzig, Germany xD
A street skateboard is a stable deck and with fast bearings and super-soft wheels it'll do the job I should think. I also think a nickel-board or equivalent is a better option than a penny-board, portable enough and not as unstable as a penny. Electric board? Nah then I'd rather get an e-kickbike. Speaking of kickbikes, if you can deal with being seen riding one then they're probably the best choice for most.
In Australia we call it a 'last 1600 metres commute'.
My last-mile commute is over 6 miles, which includes a long climb and a ride through "sketchy areas" complete with gangs, criminals, and homeless drug addicts -- not a good scenario. It's also a 1.5 to 2.0 mile commute from home to the train station, which includes an even steeper hill, but at least I live in a few safe neighborhood and city.
If I took the bus to work from the train station, it's less than a mile and would be a more feasible -- and safe -- commute on my skateboard. I would most likely take my Penny Nickel board as my commuter board.
The penny, but wood and a little bigger. Confident. Once everything is very bike friendly, it's also board friendly. Boards are cheaper
I recommend for transportation purposes just get the same setup with bigger softer wheels
When is the next uber eats coming out?
I live in a German city called Bayreuth and it is supe historical and it is like 50 % cobblestone
Ouch ._.
Whatever you ride Is I respect it… support your local shop.👍🏼
Then a scooter kid busts down the door
“Sounds like a challenge”
You should definitely make a video on Amsterdam's bikes!
What about hoverboards? Like in back to the future??
I feel you. Seems to be the same all over Europe. Hate them old German streets. Plain asphalt almost nowhere to be seen. 😂
That's crazy. Iv'e never seen that many bikes in one place
Longboards are pretty good with cobblestones
The perfect combo would be an AI skateboard that can park itself and meet you when you are ready to go home. Armed of course with tasers to prevent theft.
Hard small wheels are just noise pollution as are electric boards. Get bigger softer wheels on a smaller board. It IS the perfect "last mile transport" pity all the "save the environment types" seem to hate on skaters.
My advice: buy a board with a wheel base option ~15 or over, Buy indy stage 4 trucks (they pump great) matching or just under the board width, get riser pads / wedges (wedge front and back thin part pointing forward in direction of travel), get ceramic or bones red bearings, add dragon wheels (or any filmer wheels) biggest size you can get (you can slide them but feel soft). This set up can push/pump/dodge/slide and at a low cost. It will last a couple years and by then you will have the basics down, the stamina/structure to progress, and know which direction you want to go next but have a good grounding necessary for safety.
Heh, in my country you're not even safe inside your car + the streets are trash + there are very few bike paths in my city + it's always hot af. Basically all goes against commuting.
You dont have to have a long board that is too long to carry, they sell some that are 36''. 40'' and 41'' unless you're 7 foot, you will have to lift to carry by the trucks or it's going to be heavy.
yeah dude you should do the video on bicycles in amsterdam!
Bruh the rip stick is the greatest last mile commute
*cough* *cough*
Heelys.
*cough* *cough*
The electric scooters in paris look bloody good if you ask me!
Coming from the uk, they are not cobble stones, what we would call a smooth surface
A random thought I have:There needs to be more skateboarding/skateboards/skateboarders, people need to actually take the time and effort to learn to cruise around a skateboard first and then learn how to do tricks. Hopefully there's more skateboard friendly roads and people in the future.
not everyone has the passion
they do🤷
I'll stay with the penny as it's way more fun when going downhill and i'm literally living and top of one.
A combination of the two would be the Lou board which is widely accepted as the best currently
i highly recommend Landyachtz cruiser skateboards 😊
I use a cruiser. I don't have too but I just want to. I can drive anywhere without trouble since I don't live in a city. Cruiser will ride forever, over my shitty roads. I find it better to ride and carry my street board to a spot that is skateable.
Light short distance portable vehicles quite practical useful
Paul here from Michigan and you need some cloud Wheels
AT5 is probably that secret local news source
Wow I would really love to visit Amsterdam one day:)
Lol this year I sat on the exact same bench and smoked haha
"Dam is known for is weed but yo check out these push bikes" :D
2:03 rollerbrlllrlrade
Keep making vids man!
why do people hate on the penny board? ive been using mine since I was a fetus about 7-8 years now and its never let me down or even came close to breaking (other than the bearings lol) its very useful for transportation cause you still get that work out in and its quite fast tbh.
i think that the penny vc electric board depends on where you're going/your plans. like if you plan on going place to place then the penny board would be better bc of the light weight, but if you're just going to one mmaybe two places then the electric one would be the way to go. juat my opinion tho
I only have a little cobblestone but the bike paths arent smooth, they're just like the roads (except for this one tunnel) kinda sucks here unless you have bigger wheels like 54s or actual cruiser wheels
I think that it's just good to put some energy in traveling. Otherwise people are just getting more lazy everyday. And after a few years people don't have to do anything anymore.
Slap on some low durometer 70mm+ wheels and that cobblestone will turn to butter
Got some 80mm 80a wheels on my board.
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
Really loved this video. Everything was well done.And I own a Penny too! But right now I'm interested in the landyachtz dinghy or something similar. What's your take?
Iike your videos but i like the ones you skate in at the park doing tricks at your local park
I got 60mm wheels on my board to help deal with the shitty roads in my town and if I really wanted to it would take me about 30 minutes or so to skate to my school
Hello ! I'm Luis from Brazil.
Can you give me some advice on the foot position in a penny board ? Recently a friend borrow me one, but I broke it :S. I got a new shape smaller, same size of yours.
Thank you !
Take a shot every time he says 'last mile commute'
make a video about the bikes!!! :)
When the articule 13 get aproved i cant continue whatchin you 😭😭😭
Afonso Gonçalves why
Im using a cruiser board with shark wheels atm. It's all good until I have to go uphill.
