First, let’s talk about that shape. Trampa calls it a "squircle" (square + circle). It’s 15" long and 9" wide. Yes, you read that right.
The moment you bolt on your bindings (or slap on some thick grip tape), you realize your feet aren't going anywhere. This is a 4-wheeled snowboard.
The Trampa 1x4: Is This "Mini-Monster" the Ultimate Urban Carver?
Because of the 35-degree angle, mounting a motor mount is tricky. You need their specific "Infinity" channel trucks to make it work cleanly. However, if you do it right—slap a single 6374 motor on the back with a small 6S battery—you have created the ultimate "last mile hooligan board."
Let's address the elephant in the room:
But is it just a novelty, or is this the ultimate short-distance carver? I’ve been riding one for a month. Here is the honest take.
It is terrible for commuting (you feel every vibration), but incredible for sliding and pivoting around city obstacles. You won't go 30mph, but you will have a smile on your face at 18mph.
Compared to a standard Loaded deck (38") or even a short Penny board (22"), this thing is a postage stamp. But the width is where the magic happens. You aren't standing "on" this deck; you are standing "in" it.
