Today, we’re reviewing the Veymax Mini Monster, a $759 electric shortboard from a smaller brand.
Even if you’re unfamiliar with electric skateboards, a quick search will tell you that the electric shortboard market is packed, especially in the $500-$1000 price range. That means the Veymax Mini Monster has its work cut out for it.
But first, let’s run through the specs and see what your $759 gets you.
Veymax Mini Monster Specs:
Price | $759 |
Battery | 403Wh Samsung 40T battery504Wh Samsung 50S battery |
Controller | Custom 14S Hobbywing ESC: |
Top Speed | 32 mph (52 km/h) |
Range | 28 miles (45 km) |
Deck | 8-ply Canadian maple and fiberglass |
Motor | Dual 3000W belt motors |
Deck – 8-ply Canadian maple and fiberglass.
Starting with the deck, the Veymax Mini Monster features an 8-ply Canadian maple construction with a layer of fiberglass.
It’s a pretty typical shortboard deck, measuring 30 inches long and 9.6 inches wide. It has a functional kicktail, which is always a plus. Veymax has also pre-installed a tail puck, a nice touch that wasn’t common a few years ago but is now almost expected.
It also has a mild concave, which is nothing too crazy here.
Battery – 403Wh Samsung 40T or 504Wh Samsung 50S battery:
Next up, let’s talk about the battery. The Veymax Mini Monster comes in two battery variants, so you can choose one that fits your needs and best suits your budget
The $759 standard version comes with a 403Wh battery using Samsung 40T cells. This setup gives a range of 28 miles (45 km), but for an extra $200, you can upgrade to the 504Wh Samsung 50S battery for more range.
What’s interesting is that Veymax decided to follow the recent trend of premium electric shortboards and go with a 14s2p configuration instead of arranging the same number of cells in a 10s3p configuration, which would give the board a higher Ah. This means they would prefer the Mini Monster to have monster power and no voltage sag rather than maximizing the range.
Meanwhile, lesser-known brands that are trying to break into the market often configure their boards with higher AH ratings and range figures, as first-time e-skate buyers tend to focus on numbers on specs sheets —without realizing that power and torque don’t show up on the spec sheet.
So, I’m happy to see Veymax using a 114-volt battery. This at least means that we can take them seriously. Plus, as far as we know, the only other shortboard with a 114-volt battery is Tynee’s flagship, The Tynee Mini 3 Max——and that thing is a rocket.
Motor – Dual 3000W belt motors:
All that battery power flows into a pair of 5255 3000W motors. These motors are 140KV, and for those unfamiliar, lower KV ratings mean better torque.
The belt-drive system features a 2.4:1 gear reduction.
With a top speed of 32 mph (52 km/h), the Mini Monster isn’t the fastest shortboard out there, but it’s still faster than what most riders would ever need from a board this size.
And the ride performance is pretty much as expected. The combination of a high-voltage 14S battery, large motors, and a 140KV setup gives the Veymax Mini Monster the monstrous torque it was clearly named after. It launches from a standstill very fast, which is an absolute thrill.
However, what’s more noteworthy here is that the board has extraordinarily strong brakes—strong and sharp, stronger than any other electric shortboard that we’ve tested.
Trucks – 8-inch, 45-degree RKP trucks
Veymax uses 8-inch, 45-degree reverse kingpin cast trucks with CNC finishing.
Most electric shortboards use narrower 7-inch trucks unless they are specifically designed for high-speed stability—in which case, they use 8-inch trucks, like the Tynee Mini 3 Max.
We generally prefer wider trucks on shortboards. Wider trucks give a shortboard the stability of a longboard at high speeds, while the shorter wheelbase keeps it agile and easy to turn.
And, of course, you can always kick-turn for the tightest turns.
There’s no way we’d ride a shortboard at 30 mph on 7-inch trucks.
ESC and Remote – Custom 14S Hobbywing ESC:
For the ESC, Veymax went with a custom 14S Hobbywing ESC.
If you’ve ridden a Hobbywing-powered board before, you know what to expect—buttery smooth acceleration and precise braking. It also has a smart power-on feature, meaning the board turns on automatically when you power up the remote.
This ESC also allows for advanced customization, either through the mobile app or directly on the remote.
Wheels – 90 x 60 mm, 78A durometer or 105mm Cozy Wheels
The base Mini Monster has 90mm 78A wheels, while the upgraded version features 105mm PU wheels, which Veymax calls Cozy Wheels. We’re not familiar with these wheels, but larger wheels can be useful or those looking for higher top speeds and better safety on rough roads,
The 90mm 78A wheels are fairly standard—similar to the stock 90mm wheels used by most major brands today.
Specs Summary of Veymax Mini Monster
For mid-market electric shortboards around $759, the Tynee Mini 3 Pro sets the standard.
The Veymax Mini Monster enters the scene with competitive specs but ups the ante with a 14S2P Samsung 40T battery, compared to the 13S2P Molicel in the Tynee Mini 3 Pro.
It seems Veymax is following Tynee’s proven formula of building a torquey and powerful electric shortboard while adding its own small twists—a 14S battery instead of 13S, wider 8-inch trucks, and different wheel options. Tynee does have the Tynee Mini 3 Max, which also features a 14S battery and wide 8-inch trucks, but with the added advantage of forged and CNC-finished trucks and a gear-drive system—though it comes at a higher price of $959.
As you can see, Veymax is taking a lot of inspiration from the two Tynees there.
The main drawback is that Veymax is still a lesser-known brand. However, that’s less of a concern because it uses proven components like Samsung battery cells, a Hobbywing ESC, and Hobbywing motors. The board is also well-built and relatively portable, at 19 lbs (8.6 kg).
Riding experience of Veymax Mini Monster
It’s become a trend to make electric shortboards with extreme torque, and Veymax seems to have gotten the memo.
The Mini Monster rockets off the start line, likely thanks to its low KV motors and high-voltage battery. In fact, it’s the second most powerful shortboard we’ve tested, just behind the $200 pricier Tynee Mini 3 Max. The acceleration is incredibly fast and thrilling—most riders probably won’t go full throttle from a standstill, but just knowing that much power is available at a flick of the throttle is exciting.
To handle the high torque and power, the trucks are configured for straight-line stability out of the box. Perhaps because we are lightweight Asians, it took more effort to lean and get the board turning. We ended up loosening the trucks slightly to make carving easier.
Otherwise, the wider trucks help compensate for the short wheelbase, adding stability at higher speeds.
Aside from that, the other aspect of the ride is pretty standard. The Hobbywing ESC delivers smooth and intuitive speed control, while road vibrations are as harsh as expected from a shortboard with 90mm wheels.
Verdict of the Veymax Mini Monster
The Veymax Mini Monster is a well-built board with specs and a riding experience that holds its own against other shortboards on the market.
It’s a solid choice for those who want more kick and range than a $500 budget board but aren’t ready to shell out $900–$1,000 for a luxury ride. If you’re looking for a little more bite without breaking the bank, the Mini Monster might just be the beast for you.
