Magneto Complete Skateboard 27.5 in x 7.5 in - Compact Cruiser

In this review of the Magneto Complete Skateboard, the bottom line is simple: it is an affordable, well-built mini cruiser aimed at beginners and casual riders who want a portable board that still handles tricks. At 27.5 in long with double kicktails and an 8-ply Canadian maple deck, this board balances durability with a lightweight, travel-friendly size. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of sturdy construction and user-friendly shape that helps new skaters learn balance and basic maneuvers without committing to a full-size board.

Key Features

• Double kicktails: The twin kicktails make ollies, manuals and simple tricks easier to attempt on a compact deck, adding playful versatility to cruising.
• 27.5 in cruiser length: The mini longboard length keeps the board portable while still offering enough foot space for teens and many adults to stand comfortably.
• 8-ply Canadian maple: The Canadian maple construction gives a solid, resilient deck that withstands everyday use and keeps a familiar skateboard flex.
• 78A urethane wheels: Softer 78A wheels provide a smoother, more forgiving ride over pavement imperfections and rougher sidewalks.
• Aluminum trucks: Reliable aluminum trucks deliver stable turning and a predictable ride that helps new skaters build confidence.
• Surfskate vibe: The combination of concave shape and wheel choice creates a surf-like carving feel for casual cruising sessions.

Who It's For

The Magneto cruiser is best for beginners, younger riders and commuters who want a compact board that is easy to carry and fun to ride. Parents buying a first skateboard for a 9 year old, teens looking for an inexpensive cruiser, or adults wanting a portable board for short trips will find value here. The design and 78A wheels are forgiving enough to smooth out rough sidewalks and small cracks.

Experienced street skaters or those focused on high-performance technical tricks should look elsewhere; the mini cruiser size and softer wheels limit high-speed stability and precise flip tricks common on full-size street decks. Riders who need specialist downhill or long-distance commuting gear will also want a larger, more specialized board.
