The invention discloses a control method for a four-wheel skateboard and the four-wheel skateboard. The control method for the four-wheel skateboard comprises the following steps: applying load to thefour-wheel skateboard, and enabling the load to press an inductive switch of the four-wheel skateboard, wherein the inductive switch controls a power switch for starting the four-wheel skateboard; driving the four-wheel skateboard to slide through assistance of the load; enabling a controller in the four-wheel skateboard to control a motor to be started so that the four-wheel skateboard is drivento slide; and when the load is separated from the inductive switch of the four-wheel skateboard, enabling the inductive switch to control the power switch for turning off the four-wheel skateboard. For the four-wheel skateboard provided by the invention, under the driving effect of assistance of the load, the controller in the four-wheel skateboard controls the motor to be started, the motor obtains initial velocity for driving the four-wheel skateboard to slide, the four-wheel skateboard depends on the assistance of the load and does not completely depend on the force of the motor, therefore, under the condition with the same distance, the electric quantity needed by the four-wheel skateboard is little, the number of demanded lithium ion batteries in the four-wheel skateboard is not large, the demanded battery capacity is not high, and thus the manufacturing cost of the four-wheel skateboard is reduced.
