Meepo’s latest board is the Hurricane, a stylish, high-performance e-board that’s capable of cruising city streets and tackling off-road trails. Priced at $1,799 MSRP, the Hurricane is a top-shelf model that’s designed to compete with today’s fastest, top-performing electric skateboards.
Incredibly versatile and ideal for a wide variety of riders, Meepo’s Hurricane is capable of tackling city cruising and off-road trails, packs a 35 mph top speed, and can cruise for 44 miles on a single charge. Delivering excellent stability and control, the Hurricane features a high-performance design and is built from the ground up to handle higher top speeds and longer range.
A new favorite of Meepo staff members, the Hurricane has quickly become the ride of choice around the brand’s headquarters due to its “smooth cruising and crazy speed”.

The Hurricane from Meepo is a stunning electric skateboard model that features a high-quality T700 3k twill carbon fiber deck, double kingpin trucks, and two included wheelsets: 155 x 50mm pneumatic all-terrain wheels, and 90mm x 62mm street wheels. This beast is powered by two 3500W belt drive motors and a 725Wh Molicel P42A battery, giving the board impressive acceleration and hill-climbing capabilities.
Obviously, given the incredibly strong power of this super fast electric skateboard, it’s not as lightweight as many other models on the market. Having said that, the Hurricane is lightweight for its class at only 34 pounds.
Included Accessories & Optional Add ons
As is common with consumer-direct electric skateboard manufacturers these days, Meepo sells a well-rounded array of replacement parts and accessories for the Hurricane, including batteries, chargers, wheels, bearings, bushings, decks, trucks, and more.
Warranty & Customer Service Rating
While Meepo’s other electric skateboards come with a 6-month warranty, the Hurricane includes a beefed-up 1-year warranty which provides you with additional coverage in the event of a manufacturing defect. Unfortunately, there’s no return policy which is a negative, especially for a board in this price range.
Also, whenever we review electric skateboards, we always test the responsiveness of each company’s customer support department to see how long it typically takes them to respond to inquiries. Meepo’s customer service was a bit slower than most to get back to us, taking about 2 and a half days to answer our emailed inquiry…
