What is the cheapest electric skateboard?
US$199 — MEEPO Campus, at meepoboard.com. That is the lowest price any of the shops we read is asking today for a complete electric skateboard you can actually put in a basket. We re-read every catalogue twice a day, so this name changes on its own.

What this page refuses to tell you
It will not tell you which one is best. That needs a tester, and we are not one — we read catalogues. Anyone ranking cheap machines by quality without riding them is guessing, and you can usually tell because the ranking never changes.
Prices and stock are read from the shops' own catalogues twice a day, so this page is as current as our last sweep and no more. A shop can sell its last board between our reading and your click — we tell you who had it, not who still has it this second. We take no payment to place a board on this page, and the order is price, nothing else.
What one costs across the whole market, not just the bottom: the full distribution.
Is it legal where you would ride it?
The price is half the question. The other half is whether your state, province or country lets you ride it on the street — and the answers range from a clear framework to an outright ban. We read the statutes for 50 US states, 13 Canadian provinces and territories, 8 Australian states and territories, 20 other countries and 8 cities, with the section number and a link for every rule: where you can legally ride.

Questions this raises
Is the cheapest electric skateboard worth buying?
We do not know, and we will not pretend to: answering it means riding the machine, and this site tests nothing. What we can tell you is what the market looks like around it. The median complete electric skateboard is US$899, so the cheapest sits well below the middle of the market — that gap is where you should ask questions about range, battery and support.
How many electric skateboards cost less than $500?
36 complete machines, across 13 brands, with at least one shop declaring stock.
Does the cheapest one stay the cheapest?
No. It moves with every sweep — a sale ends, a shop sells out, a new model lands. That is the whole reason this page is generated from the database instead of written once and left to rot, which is what a list of "best cheap models from 2023" is.
Where does this price come from?
From the shop's own catalogue, read directly, twice a day. It is not a manufacturer's list price and it is not a price we were given. How this works.
Do you get paid for this order?
No. The order is price, lowest first, and nothing else decides it. We never take a payment to move a product up a list — it is written in the footer of every page here.
