Most of you must have realized that there are three different types of springs to come with any of your ECOMOBL boards: Blue, Red and Green. So what are they? What each color stands for? And what’s the difference? Let’s get started by talking about trucks.
What Are Skateboard Trucks and Why Are They Crucial for Off-Roading?
Skateboard trucks are the metal T-shaped components mounted on the underside of your deck. They connect your wheels to the board and are responsible for steering, turning, and overall handling.
In off-road or all-terrain electric skateboards, trucks must do more than turn. They must:
- Absorb shocks from uneven terrain
- Offer stability at high speeds
- Provide flexibility for carving and sharp turns
- Be adjustable for different rider weights and preferences
So how is Ecomobl’s truck system? The secret under it is the spring base, which outperforms traditional bushings with varying stiffness. They offer greater tuning flexibility, which is a must-have for you if you are the kind of off-road riders who want more control and adaptability.
An Overview of Ecomobl’s Three Spring Truck Systems
So Ecomobl equips its boards with three color-coded spring options, and each offers a different level of resistance and ride feel:
- 🟦 Blue Springs: Softest option – Best for carving and responsiveness
- 🔴 Red Springs: Medium hardness – Balanced stability and agility
- 🟩 Green Springs: Hardest option – Optimized for high-speed stability
These springs are placed in the trucks to fine-tune steering resistance based on your weight, riding style, and of course, terrain.
And the best part is that you don’t have to spend extra for different springs, because Ecomobl board comes with one or two spring types（according to the different Eboards）, so you can swap them freely and easily, depending on your needs.
Performance Showdown: A Head-to-Head Comparison
So how do you choose based on your needs? First, you need to know how each spring performs in different areas of riding. Look at this chart for comparison:
| Attribute | Blue Springs (Soft) | Red Springs (Medium) | Green Springs (Hard) |
| High-Speed Stability | Less stable, more flexible | Good balance | Very stable at high speeds |
| Carving & Agility | Maximum responsiveness | Solid control, less nimble | Reduced turning sensitivity |
| Adjustability | Easy to compress, ideal for lighter riders | Works for most rider weights | Requires more pressure, best for heavier riders |
| Maintenance Requirements | Low – Soft springs may wear slightly faster | Low – Balanced wear | Low – Very durable under stress |
Which Truck is Right for You? A Guide Based on Riding Style
For the Speed Demon: Prioritizing Maximum Stability
If you’re often pushing your board to its speed limits, stability becomes your top concern. Green springs provide the firmest resistance, keeping your board steady and minimizing speed wobbles. Ideal for:
- High-speed trail rides
- Heavy riders
- Long straight runs
Recommended: 🟩 Green Springs
For the Carving Artist: Seeking Ultimate Agility
Do you love weaving through tight turns, carving down hills, or making sharp directional changes? Blue springs offer the highest flexibility, giving you effortless turning and flowy movement. Ideal for:
- Riders under 200 lbs
- Terrain with lots of turns or obstacles
- Low to moderate speed riding
Recommended: 🟦 Blue Springs
For the All-Rounder: The Best of Both Worlds
Want a balance between carving freedom and stability at higher speeds? Red springs are the goldilocks solution—not too hard, not too soft. Ideal for:
- Riders between 150–200 lbs
- Mixed terrain and variable riding speeds
- Commuters and general off-roaders
Recommended: 🔴 Red Springs
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I switch out the springs myself?
A: Of course! And we offer free tuition of that. If you’re unsure how to switch, just email services@ecomobl.com and we’ll be glad to send you a step-by-step video guide.
Q: Are blue springs too soft for heavy riders?
A: That depends on your riding style. If you’re 200 lbs+ and ride mostly at high speeds, we recommend red or green. But for slower speeds and tight carving, blue springs can still perform well.
Q: Which springs wear out the fastest?
A: All Ecomobl springs are built for durability and off-road stress, but softer springs (blue) may wear slightly quicker with aggressive use.
