Are you searching for an ultra-stable street electric longboard with solid range, quality components, and an unbeatable price? Look no further than the new OMW Lancer. As OMWEV's third electric skateboard, OMW Lancer is arguably one of the most compelling urban e-boards on the market today due to its performance, size, weight, and competitive price point.
First Impressions: Designed for Urban Performance
OMW Lancer is OMWEV’s third release, and it’s clearly built with urban environments in mind. Whether you're weaving through downtown streets or cruising on a coastal path, this board offers a perfect balance of power, stability, and design. It's available in bold black or eye-catching red. We appreciate brands that take risks with color and design.
Solid Build and Ride Quality
Deck Design - Flex, Strength, and Comfort Combined
OMW Lancer's deck is a marvel of engineering, crafted from a blend of carbon fiber, fiberglass, and epoxy resin for flexibility, impact absorption, and durability. It’s relatively thin (4–5 mm) but incredibly strong, with a lifetime warranty on the deck. The deck features a subtle W-shape in the center, and distinct drop-down sections at the front and rear, keeping your feet securely locked in for aggressive riding, braking, and carving. Beginners will appreciate the added security and control, while experienced riders will love its aggressive potential. The cushioned, 3-4 mm-thick griptape further enhances shock absorption and comfort. For larger riders, the board's extra width and length are a significant advantage.
Riders can also adjust the flex depending on truck placement: a longer wheelbase provides more flex and comfort, while a shorter wheelbase offers sharper, more agile turns. The factory setting strikes an excellent balance of these characteristics.
Truck & Bushing - Smooth, Stable and Customizable
Thanks to the traditional kingpin 9.25-inch forged trucks, CNC baseplates, and 1 cm risers, OMW Lancer delivers a remarkably comfortable and stable ride, handling cracks, bumps, and rough patches with ease.
Out of the box, the bushings come with soft black ones in the front and the hard orange 55A+ bushings in the rear—ideal for heavier or beginner riders who need more stability. But once you loosen them up, this electric skateboard becomes significantly more agile without sacrificing mid-to-high-speed stability. Whether you’re carving aggressively or just cruising, OMW Lancer adjusts to your riding style.
Standard with MAD Wheels - Comfort Meets Control
The default 105 mm Mad Wheelz V2 wheels (72A) are soft, grippy, and comfortable even on rough city pavement. While not as plush as pneumatic wheels, they provide superior comfort, traction, and stability compared to most street setups. You can also upgrade to 125 mm MAD MAX wheels for an even smoother ride and longer range.
Built-in Lighting & Custom Features - Ride Safe, Ride in Style
Safety and visibility are top priorities with OMW Lancer. Rear brake lights are integrated and flash when braking, and front LED headlights are available as add-ons. Additionally, customizable RGB LED strips can be added under the deck, offering various animations and colors to enhance both style and nighttime safety.
All lights are powered directly from the electric longboard's battery, eliminating the need for separate charging. Double-pressing the power button turns on all lights, and three quick brakes on the remote's wheel allow you to change colors or animations for the RGB LED strips.
Power, Control and Performance
Battery and Range
OMW Lancer is powered by an excellent 10Ah (504Wh) battery, featuring Samsung 50S 21700 cells in a 14S2P configuration. The included 4.2A fast charger allows for a full charge in just 2 to 2.5 hours. For a 67kg rider on flat terrain in mode 3, a range of 42 km (26 miles) was achieved, which is excellent for a street board and sufficient for medium to long trips without daily charging. An 80kg rider can still expect around 35 km (21.7 miles) of range, which is impressive for the price.
Motor & ESC Performance
Propelling OMW Lancer are Hobbywing 4235 motors, comparable to 5255 size. These motors deliver strong performance with a sporty, slightly louder and higher-pitched tone than the Cavalry or Hussar. Power delivery is smooth yet strong, thanks to the Hobbywing 9028 14S ESC. While not as punchy as the Cavalry or Hussar, it's definitely powerful enough for any rider seeking a high-performance street electric longboard.
Braking on OMW Lancer is excellent, offering smooth, strong, and predictable stops within a few meters. Braking can be adjusted via the app, and the remote provides fine control for either soft or aggressive braking.
Riding Modes & Hill Performance
OMW Lancer offers four modes, making it suitable for beginners in modes 1 and 2, and advanced riders in modes 3 and 4. Mode 3 can tackle steep city hills, while mode 4 is for very steep climbs or aggressive riding, with a claimed max incline of 38%. The claimed top speed on flat terrain is 50 km/h (31 mph), varying with rider weight and conditions. During testing, the Lancer climbed a steep hill at 26-27 km/h in mode 4, demonstrating stable hill-climbing superior to other Boosted-style eboards.
Urban Handling & Build Quality
In terms of city maneuverability, OMW Lancer can handle nearly everything a Boosted-style street board can. At approximately 12 kg, OMW Lancer strikes a sweet spot for portability and stability. Lancer's unique size, shape, and weight set it apart from typical street electric longboards, making it an ideal commuter vehicle for urban areas and paved routes. Its ground clearance of approximately 3.3 inches (8.5 cm) prevents scraping, even with aggressive carving or heavier riders.
The battery enclosure is made of durable plastic with segmented modules to support deck flex and spans nearly the entire deck. The ESC is housed in a sturdy metal box at the rear. The enclosure is sealed with a rubber gasket for IP55 rain and dust resistance.
Conclusion
If you're in the market for a street or super-street e-board today, OMW Lancer is an outstanding and incredibly well-balanced option. Its stability, safety, smooth ride, impressive range, and unbeatable price make it a truly compelling choice. We're in love.
