Boosted Boards, makers of the most popular electric skateboards, has urged all owners of second-generation Boosted Boards to stop riding and charging them over potential overheating issues related to their lithium-ion batteries.
Sanjay Dastoor, founder and CEO of Boosted Boards, said in a blog post the company's engineering team is investigating two separate instances where lithium-ion batteries overheated within the electric skateboard's fire-retardant battery enclosure.
