So the best way to see if that 70 dollar price gap is justified is to take both completely apart and compare each part.

Both boards are the same size, 22 inches long, and 6 inches at its widest point. Now, I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty crazy how identical the decks are. It seems like they’re made with a similar mold. When riding them, the 30 dollar one bends slightly more than the real one because it’s a little thinner. Everything on the deck is pretty much the same, except for the logos.

When it comes to the hardware, I did notice a few differences. The bolts are similar in length, but the real Penny is powder-coated versus the other one it looks like it was painted, which chips off much easier. Another difference in the hardware is that the real penny has self-locking plastic built into all of its nuts to ensure they don’t loosen over time, whereas the fake only has this on its two truck nuts. This is a little concerning because if the wheel nuts loosen, one of your wheels could fall right off. And the speed washers are basically identical.

Next, we have the bushings, which are both barrel and cone bushings, and honestly, they’re basically the same. When it comes to the quality of the trucks, you can tell the fake ones are cheaper. Not only can you see this in the truck itself, but if you check out the base plate, it’s quite thinner than the other penny board truck. This would concern me if I was going to ride the board every day. If your trucks break, you’re pretty much screwed.

The wheels from the surface basically look identical. The 30 dollar one had one wheel with a small hole that went all the way down to the metal. So from a quality control standpoint, the real Penny is superior. I have all five penny board sizes and I’ve never run into this issue with a wheel. Not to mention the 30 dollar board wheels have less polyurethane, which makes you feel riding over bumps much more. When you cruise over pebbles or cracks on the real Penny Board, it’s a lot smoother. This is one of the major differences between the two and if you’re gonna be riding a bunch, I’d either suggest changing these out or just get the 100 dollar one.

When it comes to the bearings, there’s no comparison. The 100 dollar one has much better bearings that actually spin after I push them. Versus the other one, which are almost hard to get to spin! The 30 dollar penny claims they’re ABEC 7, but like they’re trash bro.

The final difference that I noticed was between the warranties. The 100 dollar one comes with a 12-month warranty versus the other one has a 30-day warranty.

It all comes down to what you’re willing to spend and what you’ll be using it for.
