Strengths

  • Awake's entry jetboard: a high-volume hull the brand says new riders master in about a minute.
  • Big jet propulsion delivers surge-free thrust through chop, the platform Electrek praised in hands-on testing.
  • Flex XR4 2.55 kWh swappable battery with a 2-hour charger included.
  • Powerful enough for heavier riders without the intimidation of the race boards.
  • Premium Swedish engineering with a dedicated US storefront.

Weaknesses

  • Real-world ride time is 30-45 minutes per battery; spares are expensive.
  • $11,990 for the entry model.
  • 120+ lb shipped system, boat-or-truck gear, not carry-to-the-beach gear.
