Discover why the VIPER electric miniboard stands out with its premium construction, advanced features, and unmatched performance.
1. Unmatched Truck Strength
The VIPER features Precision-Made LP RKP Trucks, setting a new standard for miniboard durability and performance:
- Forged Baseplate: Made from a special aluminum alloy, forged and CNC-machined for superior strength (exceeding 6061).
- High-Strength Axle: Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel is forged from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, heat-treated, and electroplated for break resistance.
- Innovative Kingpin: LINNPOWER's fastening structure eliminates traditional weaknesses, ensuring stability and longevity. Chromium-molybdenum alloy steel is forged from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, heat-treated, and electroplated for break resistance.
- Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Riptide bushings (25×16) for a customizable ride.
LINNPOWER emphasizes reliability and safety by avoiding the use of cast components, which can be more prone to defects and breakage. Brands using similar forged trucks: Evolve Diablo series, Boosted Mini S/X, Backfire Zealot X.
2. Premium Deck Design
The VIPER's deck combines functionality and durability:
- Materials: Bamboo & Hard Maple wrapped in fiberglass and epoxy for exceptional strength.
- Design: 31.5-inch length, 10-inch width, and an extended kicktail for stability and control.
- Features: Slightly concave with flared wheel wells to prevent wheel bite, ensuring a stable and agile ride.

3. Advanced Battery Technology
The VIPER uses the LINNPOWER FlexVolt Battery Pack, designed for safety and performance:
- Safety: Fully enclosed holder made from fire-resistant materials and custom nickel strips for better current handling.
- BMS: TOLL-packaged MOSFETs for higher power and lower heat generation.
4. Superior Charging & Performance
- Charger: VIPER includes a 4.5A fast charger, compared to Tynee Mini 3's 2A or 2.5A.
- Gear Ratio: VIPER's 2.8 gear ratio delivers greater torque and climbing ability, ideal for steep hills.
- Waterproof Connector: External, easy-to-clean design for hassle-free maintenance.
5. Enhanced ESC & Remote
Both boards use Hobbywing ESC and motors, but VIPER's remote is a more reliable option:
- Remote Design: CNC-machined aluminum alloy frame with a scroll wheel and double-bearing fixation for precise control.
6. Capacity & Range
The VIPER features a 12S1P, 216Wh battery pack, offering a balance of power and performance. If range isn't your primary concern, the VIPER is the ultimate choice for an electric miniboard.
There are even more nuanced differences that you'll discover through personal experience, such as the specifics of the waterproof design, the custom pivot cup, the wheel options, and the overall riding feel......
