Is it the same as a penny board

Yes, it's the same. It's flexibly, yet sturdy & durable. Without the hefty price tag. My daughter rides it on a daily basis & she said the ride is very smooth. I'm totally satisfied. I even purchased 2 other boards for my sons. Hope that helps!

I believe so- size and shape are the same as my neighbors across the stree who has a penny board. My daughter is very happy with it(12yrs old). Good quality.

I bought myself and Eightbit and my boyfriend a Penny. It's the same size, the same shape, they are identical. The logos are different and the Penny's are made with a sturdier material and are super smooth. The EightBit board has some flex but still rides really smooth. For something half the price, it's a darn good alternative. EightBit's are good for people under 130, anything higher, you would like the support of the Penny.

Yes it is. The headboard and the footboard are exactly the same. It comes with legs that you add to it to make the headboard or leave out for the footboard. You have to order 2 to get both of them.

No, the newest (and genuine) Penny boards come only with tags that explain warranty. Penny does not add anything more to the real boards.

No, this board is only for the soft tip plastic. Metal would not stick and ruin it in no time.

Yes it appears to be the same.I haven't used it yet since I have only done slides so far.

Yes, the design is very good but be sure you get the correct board to use with it. Hope this is helpful.

I ended up purchasing from another vendor but I believe it to be the same item and it's high-end particle board. I was trying to save from the PBK price and it was worth it - I love it.

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

As long as you buy from an authorized Penny dealer you will get the real board. Look at the sellers comments to see.

No just with the board, its pretty fast but its not the offical penny board. If you want high quality board then go buy a real australian penny board or nickel board, but in my case if your using it for a prop or just to have a board to ride around with (badically unprofessional things just casual stuff) then go with this board.

No. "Penny" is a brand name. This is not a Penny, it is an "EightBit", another brand.

The board we have is not magnetic, but it is not the same as the one pictured here. We have the BestRite 4 x 6 Feet Reversible Dura-Rite Markerboard.

My son said it does not turn as good. After using this for awhile he bought a real penny board.

Yes. All of the boards that makeup the module are exactly the same except for the location of the holes. Each board is prominently labeled for easy assembly. Since this is not solid wood, you need to be careful when inserting the pegs. I used a rub mallet and gently tapped the peg. I placed a piece of cardboard on the board so as not to strike it directly.
