They're the most overlooked component on an electric skateboard — and the cheapest, most impactful upgrade available. A $15 set of bushings tuned to your weight and riding style can transform a board that feels vague and unpredictable into one that carves precisely and holds its line at speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rider has a different optimal bushing setup based on their weight, riding style, and terrain. A 60 kg rider who carves aggressively needs completely different bushings than a 90 kg rider who prioritizes high-speed stability. Stock bushings are a compromise that works adequately for nobody in particular. Custom bushings are a precision fit for you specifically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBushing Hardness Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e70A–75A (very soft)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Riders under 65 kg; maximum carving response; less stable at high speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e78A–83A (soft)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Riders 65–80 kg; good carving with reasonable stability; the most popular range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e87A–90A (medium)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Riders 80–95 kg; balanced carving and stability; good for mixed riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e93A–97A (hard)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Riders over 95 kg or high-speed focused riders; maximum stability; less carving response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBushing Shapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarrel bushings provide stability and rebound; cone bushings provide more carving response and less rebound.
