Hey Tony long time subbed, always love the informational video on different products all around. I'm looking for something in the budget range around 200-300$ if you happen to know a real low budget board/scooter/bike would be very helpful. Stay awesome!
Thank you so much Dillon! So...for 200-300, you'll likely have to find something used. Like on Marketplace. I would stay away from the "Amazon specials" that you'll find, with off brand names. If you're already spending that much, it's totally worth it to spend another 100-200 to get something that's more reliable. Truth is, these things are not inexpensive. And safety is of the utmost concern. You might look at something like the Tynee Board Ultra that's around $340 right now. If you really want something that's at the lowest end of esk8 prices, but still great quality, you might look at the isinwheel V10. I have a review on here of it, and it's got all the bells and whistles, including fantastic belt drive and power / range. It's around 750 on sale right now. I might even have a discount code in the description for that video. If you see a board you're interested in, send me a link on socials and I'll be happy to take a look at it and give you the pros and cons. Thank you again for your support, and have a blessed day!
If you're considering buying, please read first! Maxfind lied about the motors. Both the FF Plus and the FF AT are 1200W motors but with different battery configuration. Which drains the battery suuuper quick having to overclock/max out the battery to achieve a 1500W output. Maybe they sent these guys one with a real 1500W motor 🤷♂️ but according to Maxfind's customer service the FF Plus and FF AT now have the same exact motor now despite still advertising the FF AT as having an upgraded motor. Good luck riding this thing long term without blowing out the motor. I already feel the motor vibrating occasionally on max speed setting. Does NOT roll freely when turned off (if your battery dies you will be walking home with a heavy board on wheels that are resisting you and making that whirring motor sound when they turn). The braking in 4th gear is harsh and dangerous. The smooth braking only happens in 3rd gear and below. You can get used to it but you've been warned. The battery cover/seal comes up constantly when riding on bumpy terrain because it's sealed with a quarter turn plastic lock...waterproof of IPX5 is irrelevant with this 😂 it's basically a nice little pool for water to settle into if it rains. Also the rubber "seal" going around the cover is too small diameter so it doesnt actually make contact with board/cover making it useless as a waterproofing even if the cover stayed on. The wheels are just as hard as polyurethane wheels of probably 90 or so duro. TL;DR get the cheaper FF Plus. They are basically the same but the FF AT has an upgraded battery that basically just enables the 4th gear. Or spend a little more and get the Ranger from Backfire (I wish I did) or whatever other hub motor all terrain board you can find. Lastly, they will not let me post a review on their page unless the review is 4 stars or higher and is overall positive. In case anyone is wondering how they have such high ratings lol
Hi Jeremy. Thank you for a well thought out comment, and your opinions are always welcomed here. I can only speak from my own experiences with these boards. I have the FF Belt and love that board, and this is pretty much the same thing, but with the hub / AT wheels. Have never had any issues with that battery door being secure, and I use it with thanes...which are bumpy. That's not to discount your own experiences, and in no way are these things waterproof. I never advise to ride in wet conditions either way. This is my first hub motor AT board, and I haven't ridden it more than 10 miles, so the motor issues you mention may be a thing? I just don't know. And one of the reasons I prefer belt or gear driven boards. If I were to add anything here, I would suggest to not do hub AT boards if you're more than a hobbyist, but a heavy user. Not very serviceable, and nowhere near as versatile or comfortable as belt with the wheel options available. I'm sorry that Maxfind feels the need to limit your ability to give an honest assessment / review. That's something that should be pointed out, if true. Thank you again for your thoughts on it, and most of all, thank you for watching!
A huge catch 22 for me with Maxfind's AT models is their double kingpin trucks;
I'm strictly into single kingpin truck designs
Yea, I think that would be better for an AT board. Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏻

This is currently the fastest board with AT hub motors at 28mph,
meanwhile, Backfire's offerings only do 24mph
Yea, it’s pretty fast! Fun too
Should be compatible with Cloudwheels' 165mm Rovers R
On the front, sure. But the back? It appears it’s all one part, but perhaps they have donuts available to put on the hubs?
