¨The Truth About Electric Skateboards and Weight

Most electric skateboards claim to handle “up to 120 kg.”
Then you put your weight on them — and the deck flexes like a trampoline, the torque dies on inclines, and the range cuts in half.

Let’s be clear: flex decks and low-voltage systems kill performance for heavy riders.

That’s exactly why ONSRA built the VELAR — a full-carbon, 14S powerhouse designed to handle real weight and real torque without flinching.


The VELAR – Big Board for Big Riders

The VELAR isn’t a toy or a commuter board.
It’s a precision-built tank for riders who need raw, stable performance and can’t be bothered carrying a wobbly flex deck.

Key Specs that Matter:

  • 14S / 63 V Battery – higher voltage = massive torque and sustained power

  • 6384 150 Kv 3500 W Motors (x2) – delivers instant torque under heavy load

  • CNC Carbon Deck & Enclosure – zero flex, full structural stiffness

  • Weight: ~14 kg — it stands on its own, you don’t carry it, it carries you

  • Drive: Belt or Gear Drive options

  • Max Speed: 60 km/h+ with full control

  • Build: Hand-assembled, bullet-proof carbon shell

When you step on it, it doesn’t bend — it commands the ground.

Why Heavy Riders Need a Stiff Deck

Deck flex might feel nice for light riders, but for heavier riders it’s a problem:

  • It absorbs torque, reducing acceleration.

  • It alters stability at high speeds.

  • It weakens over time from repeated compression.

The VELAR’s full-carbon CNC deck solves that. It’s stiff, stable, and precision-cut — the kind of feel you get from high-end downhill longboards, but powered by ONSRA torque.


Power That Doesn’t Sag

The 14S battery isn’t marketing talk — it’s a voltage advantage you feel immediately.
More voltage means less current draw for the same torque, which keeps performance strong even with heavier riders.

Where 12S systems fade halfway up a hill, the VELAR keeps pulling like it’s on flat ground.
No voltage sag. No stutter. Just continuous, usable torque.


Built to Be Ridden, Not Carried

At around 14 kg, the VELAR is no featherweight — and that’s a good thing.
It’s meant to stand upright on its own, ready when you are.
You don’t fold it up, sling it over your shoulder, or baby it.
You ride it, park it, and ride again.

Real Feedback from Big Riders

Heavier riders consistently say the same thing:

“Other boards flex and feel unstable. The VELAR feels like a machine.”
“It doesn’t slow down on hills.”
“Finally, a board that feels built for me.”

That’s the difference between marketing specs and real engineering.

Watch how the VELAR holds traction and torque on steep climbs — zero flex, zero fade, full control.

Best Setups for Heavy Riders

Rider Type Recommended Board Setup
90–110 kg BLACK Carve 3 PRO Belt Drive 55T pulleys + 150 mm wheels
100–130 kg VELAR Belt Drive 60T pulleys + 200 mm wheels
>130 kg or Off-Road VELAR Gear Drive 200 mm AT wheels + gear drive torque

If you’re over 100 kg, this is your board — no second guessing.


The Verdict

If you’re a heavier rider, forget flex decks, cheap motors, and “up to 120 kg” claims.
You need torque, voltage, and structure — not soft rubber and hope.

The ONSRA VELAR was built for you:

  • Big board, full carbon, bulletproof.

  • 14S power that doesn’t fade.

  • Stability that doesn’t flex.

  • Stands tall — just like you.

It’s the best electric skateboard for heavy riders, period.
