We first heard of Linnpower as a component supplier for big brands such as Meepo and Acedeck.
After years of building parts for others, Linnpower finally decided to take center stage, launching boards under its own name.
This month, they’ve released a pair of flagship all-terrain boards: the Linnpower OX, at a launch price of $1,699, and its big brother, the OX ER, priced at $2,199.
OX: Launch Price $1,699 // Retail Price $1,999
OX ER: Launch Price $2,199 // Retail Price $2,499
Essentially, the ER version packs a bigger battery and more premium wheels — and that’s what we’re reviewing today.
At this price range, you’re already in the realm of premium eskates, where almost every board is maxed out on specs. What matters most now is how they differentiate themselves.
That said, we’re still going to look at the numbers — because that’s what we do here, for fun.
Deck & Design
The OX ER’s deck is a blend of Canadian Maple, Bamboo, and Fiberglass — the same triple-composite formula we usually see on top-tier boards.
What’s unique here is the split-angle design. This is the second board we’ve tested with such a layout (the first being Acedeck’s Nomad series).

For the Linnpower OX lineup, the front truck is angled up 8° for more responsive carving, while the rear truck angles down 8° for added stability at high speeds.
We loved this configuration on the Nomad and always wondered why more boards don’t use it.
The deck itself has a double-drop shape, giving it a low center of gravity, plus a healthy U-concave that locks your feet in securely.
It’s also a large deck, measuring 45 inches long and 15.5 inches wide.
Linnpower says they use high-quality epoxy resin and high-pressure molding in construction, giving the deck both a premium finish and impressive durability.
But marketing aside — it just looks delicious.

ESC & Remote – Hobbywing ESC
(ESC Specs: 16S Hobbywing | 180A Peak Current Delivery)
That hump in the middle of the deck? That’s where the ESC sits.
Instead of placing a bulky battery box under the deck like typical mountainboard setups, Linnpower positioned the ESC on top, freeing up more space below for the massive battery.
It’s not intrusive — slim enough that it doesn’t interfere with foot placement.
Linnpower uses the tried-and-true Hobbywing ESC, so you can expect buttery-smooth speed control, smart power-on, and customizable ride modes from the remote.
The remote itself feels solid — while the electronics inside are Hobbywing-standard, the CNC-machined aluminum frame and scroll wheel give it a premium touch.

Battery & Range – 16s6p, that’s a WOW.
Flipping the deck over, the thick enclosure houses a 16S6P battery.
- OX (Base Version): Uses EVE 40P cells, totaling 1382 Wh with an advertised range of 39 miles or 65 kilometers.
- OX ER: Upgrades to Samsung 50S cells, totaling 1728 Wh with an advertised range of 51 miles or 85 kilometers.
These are impressive battery capacities for the price, but what’s really notable is the 16S configuration, which you don’t see often in this category.
Compared to the more common 14S setups found in competitors, the higher voltage means it delivers the same power with less current, resulting in less heat, better efficiency, and stronger torque at high speeds.
In short, the OX ER should maintain consistent performance even during long, demanding rides.
Motors & Power
Both OX models use dual 6487 motors, each rated at 4000 watts, for a total system output of 8000 watts.
They’re paired with Linnpower’s gear-drive system, which comes with an 11-tooth gear by default, but you can swap to a 13-tooth for higher top speed if you’re brave enough.
Drive System: 3-Gear Drive V4.3 | CNC 6061-T651 Aluminum | Hardened Steel Gears
With the 13T setup, the OX ER is advertised to reach 43.5 mph or 70 km/h; the default 11T setup maxes out at 40 mph or 65 km/h — both insane numbers we didn’t attempt to verify – for lacking courage… I mean for safety reason.
The OX also claims 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) in 3 seconds, and based on our testing… that’s believable. We didn’t quite nail it, due to skill issues — but we sure had fun trying.
Acceleration: 0–30 mph in 3 s
Trucks & Handling – CNC as expected.
With great top speed comes the need for great stability — and the OX delivers.
It uses forged and CNC-machined Traditional Kingpin trucks, machined from a single block of high-strength aluminum using 5-axis CNC technology.
Even the kingpin and axle are made from forged chromium-nickel steel, heat-treated and electroplated for durability.

Wheels & Hubs
Both OX models come with 160 mm wheels, but the OX ER steps up to wider 160 × 70 mm NEXT Racing Slicks.
These slicks are fat and smooth — no grooves, sorta like a F1 tire.
By the looks of it, they’re specialized for tarmac and track use, offering massive grip on clean surfaces but less traction on dirt or uneven terrain.
This, unfortunately, makes the OX ER less versatile, as least in stock settings, as it felt abusive towards the board to run the racing wheels on sand and pebble trails. Thankfully, the NEXT Quick Release hubs make wheel swaps tool-less and fast, so you can switch to all-terrain or mountainboard wheels in minutes.
Tires that compatible to hubs of each model:

Riding Experience on the Linnpower OX ER
It really-really wants to go fast
The Linnpower OX ER is a board that clearly specializes in one thing — running really fast on tarmac — and I imagine it will absolutely shine on a racing track.
On smooth pavement, it feels incredible. Those fat racing tires are wide, flat, and sticky — they hug the road and give a very very pleasant sticky ride feel.
The power and torque on this things are the main highlight, the acceleration is pure thrill — limited only by your skill and bravery, not the hardware.
At 31mph (50kmh) — the OX ER feels calm and nonchalant, like it’s barely trying.
Few boards make that kind of speed feel this easy and low-risk.
And if you have the legs for it, 0 to 30 mph in 3 seconds feels achievable. Again, the board has no ceiling in power, your skills and bravery is the only limits here.
And there’s a price to be paid for going that fast
But this specialization to speed & acceleration comes with trade-offs.
The trucks are stiff, tuned for high-speed control rather than agility, which also means that its not the most nimble board, even by 45″ longboard standards.
It has a rather large turning radius means it’s not easy to pull off a U-turn on a double-lane road.
This isn’t a flicky, carving board — it’s one that locks in and charges forward.
And, as mentioned, while the OX ER has the torque to till a field, its slick tires aren’t meant for off-terrain ride, at least not straight out of the box.
They’re smooth and groove-less, gripping beautifully on clean tarmac but losing traction on loose or uneven surfaces.
It’s not about power — it’s about the wrong tires for the terrain.
Thankfully, that’s an easy fix. A quick wheel swap turns it into an all-terrain beast.
(Note: The standard version of Linnpower OX comes with normal 160mm pneumatic tires that are good for off road uses)
That said, we’ve had tons of fun riding it — the power hits instantly, there’s no limit to how fast you want to accelerate, and no limit to how far you can go thanks to that massive battery.
It’s fast, stable, and addictively fun.
Verdict – Linnpower OX ER
As we said at the outset, once you’re shopping for premium boards over $1,500, they’re all amazing — it’s really about what kind of amazing you’re after.
The Linnpower OX ER is like a two-seated race car in the eskate world.
It has a narrower use case than an SUV or a sedan, but every time you hit the throttle, it’s freaking awesome.
That said, it doesn’t need to be boxed in — it has the hardware and options to do everything.
Swap in all-terrain wheels, tweak the bushings, and you’ve got a whole new personality.
For riders who want a performance beast that’s nimble or versatile, there are boards that come that way out of the box.
But this one? It’s tuned for speed and stability — and that’s exactly what it excels at.
With all that said, we love this beauty.
