Hey guys my Zelaot will be arriving soon. Stay tuned. Anything you want me to address during the review?
I got mine today & just got back from my 1st ride. It’s awesome! This is my first E-board so I have nothing to compare it to but I’m happy.
What kind of wheels the pulleys work with
Nice man I am glad you like it.
They should send you one, let you tell us like it is!! Sup Backfire, get my man a freshie!
j-sun davis Backfire lets give the people what they want 🤙🤙
There's something about you that makes you seem super relatable. I feel like if we ever met you'd be someone I'd instantly gel with. Thanks for the content and keep it coming! Stay safe.
Appreciate that Esk8 has been great for me and my family. Thank you for stoping by. Stay safe as well.
I have a backfire G3, but your video talking about the Zealot came first in on my sight, and look that I follow then to! Good work! Thank you!
R. Quinttella thanks appreciate it thanks for stopping by. Stay safe. Glad I could help.
Great vid, of course. Great info, super intrigued! I want one!
j-sun davis so many good boards at this price point. I love it great for consumers.
Really enjoying your content on this channel BTW. Well all I know is I'm buying one! I'll use my G3+ for super smooth roads, my original G2 for wet weather and the zealot (with cloudwheels) most of the time because the roads and pavements (sidewalks) near me are just awful.
Tiller Tiller that sounds like a great plan. You have a good selection of boards. Please share the channel with a few buddies. Stay safe. 🤙🤙
I love your channel. Huge support
Kim Fly appreciate you. I love making Esk8 content. 🤙🤙 stay safe.
Hey congrats on 4k subs sir!! 👍🏻 I picked a random older video to comment on but can you give me a recommendation on some new wheels for my Zealot please. I have almost 700 miles on it and my wheels are perfectly fine but I'm itching to try something else. Preferably in the 95 to 105mm range. NOT Clouds though. Thanks bud, keep up the great work
Super interesting video, I'm actually very fascinated by the battery and its Watt/Hours. Addressing the voltage sag might play into their favour! I'm very convinced that this and the Exway Flex will be most peoples first purchase. I just need to decide if I should get the Zealot or Exway flex/
ExplosiveFruits yep I agree. These to me are the best boards to purchase at this price point.
Awesome video brother 👍
AXLE SESSIONS what up bro. Always good to hear from you. 🤙🤙
Should be the sweetspot board. I think the zealot will be more powerful with more range compared to the flex riot. And with the app coming, it might be a killer 😵. Can't wait to watch some tests. You deserve one 😜
David-John MONNEY yes so many good boards. They keep getting better and better. Thanks for the love 🤙🤙
That backfire looks fresh :D just ordered my flex too :(
Andre Fortune the flex is dope bro. Don’t feel like you’ve missed out.
Also, I'm tempted to get this board, (but as you may know), I'm waiting on my MetroboardX to arrive in 40 days, plus I've already know in the fall I'm ordering either a Kaly.nyc board or Lacroix Jaws.
I want to support Kaly.nyc since he's a "paisano" (my peoples) of mine, but I've read about folks waiting like 18 weeks for his boards.
That should be nice.
I am a bit curious, in the full review you say you have not used protective cover of the battery enclosure to test if it can scrape the ground but in this footage you have that installed?
When I grab footage I just pull it from different times of riding the board. This was such a long time ago. You know what I think the board on this video was the G3.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent OK, didn't mean to be critical. I trust you. More interesting now that it seems you cannot select the carbon deck on the zealot only default on the zealot s. Thanks
I’m 250 lbs, looking at the Exway Flex Riot or Backfire Zealot. Worried the flex may bottom out with my weight. Is the Backfire stiffer?
Justin Curtsinger hey brother. With your weight it might be a class call. I am 225. Maybe ask Backfire. You may need to get a board with a stiff deck. Something like an Ownboard AT of Vestar Blackhawk. How much do you want to spend. Message me on IG we can talk better there. It’s Lansing Phillips
I'm rockin the G3 as well and never owned a belt driven board or even rode on one. I chose hubs since it's less parts to deal with breaking. I bet the ride is more comfortable though. Oh and I saw the zealot range test and it was only 18 miles. I get 16 on my g3. Now the big question is "Is it worth the upgrade?".
The comfort of a board with flex and belt drive is amazing. I will probably never use a hub motor board again. The Zealot also has a lager battery. Stay tuned to the channel I may have some new videos that may be of interest to you.
Board looks real good. If you could only rock one board, which one would it be? I'm on the fence about my first board and I've been considering an Exway Flex or a variant of the X1 so far.
Personally I prefer the flex over the X1 the range is superior. I love range. Plus the flex feels really good. The new Zealot board looks interesting too. If you do decide on the Flex I have links and discount code in the description. Sub I have some cool things coming really soon!
hello from France . is it possible to mount 120 mm wheels? on backfire zealot. thank you .
I think they only fit 105's but that enough to me. The larger the wheel less torque.
I don't see anyone talking about the Vestar NightFury. It seems like a comparable board. Any particular reason why this mid-tier battle seems to be limited to the Flex and now this Zealot? Also, any thoughts on why none of the direct drive manufacturers are using a flexy deck, single kingpin trucks and separate battery and ESC housings? I feel like they assume everyone who would be interested in a direct drive system only wants to ride downhill with it. Sorry for the book.
Mason Crouse I don’t know much about the night furry. It has a crazy size battery though. I think they need to get their boards to more reviewers. I think Vestar needs to do a better job of getting out there. I would like to review one of their boards. Maybe in the future. But that’s a good question.
Hey, I noticed your enclosures look like they have some kind of carbon weave pattern. How did you do that?
Video coming soon.
The budget board options are getting interesting, makes me wonder 🤔 with battery technology advancing what will eBoarding look like 2,5,10 years from now? 30 mile range?
I'm fairly new to eBoarding and skateboarding, but comparing newly released budget boards to budget boards of 3 or 4 years ago its drastic.
Joe Tavarez yes exactly there are so many great boards at this price range. Really crazy.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent but the drastic change between a few years ago to now! Wow!
Joe Tavarez exactly. Eventually there will be no need for thousand dollar boards.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent well, there will always be customers who tend to buy "premium" items. There will always be a company that caters to those customers. Right now there is a drastic difference between $2k-$4k Kalys, Metroboard, Lacroix vs the $1k boards.
What I see happening is the $1k dollar boards start nipping at the $2k-$4k boards.
It all means that the future looks fun!
Joe Tavarez I could not agree more. This is so good for consumers. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent hey whats your top speed in the g3 I weigh around the same as you and I'm just curious what top speed you hit on level surface in turbo mode
Aaron Arce I hit the stated top speed. Most reputable board companies have a accurate top speed.
I love exway expescailly the x1 and x1 pro but i like the look of backfires boards over the look of the exway flex
Pierce Kapustka the “budget board” arena has a lot of good boards. Great observation.
Is the back fire zealot too flexy. I'm thinking of getting zealot or wowgo 3x I've never had an electric skate board before. Wowgo3x looks nice but the zealot has longer battery life and you can change wheels the only thing that puts me of is people have said the deck is to flexy as opposed to the wowgo 3x which is supossed to have flex but not to much. What's your thoughts people wowgo3x or zealot ??
johnthr33 I have a full G3 review on this channel where I also do a flex test. The G3 and Zelaot have the same deck. I have ridden and Wowgo 3x a few times but I don’t have one. So I can’t comment in detail. People keep asking me about the Wowgo 3x maybe they will send me one.
Hey mate, what are those nose protectors on your boards ?
SCOTT DAVIES ESK8 & TECH REVIEWS hey how are things. Which ones?
Whats the best bang for the buck, g3, zealot, or exway flex? Ive skated my whole life, im used to longboards and skateboards, i live in philly so i want something that can eat alot of bumps and gravel but can also have some speed for fun...just overall the best board, thank you!
I would look at the Zealot and DUO Board. I have reviews for both on the channel. Do not forget to hit that subscribe button.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent just subbed, think ima buy the zealot, thank you i appreciate it!
What''s your opinion on the best board? Im in the market and it seems you have every deck imaginable. Backfire Zealot seems to be the way to go right now especially for the cost. Im currently on the fence between exway flex vs backfire zealot.
I like them both. Decide what factors are most important to you.
That carbon fiber on the board batteries is clean. Do you know where I could pick up a wrap like that? Great video as usual!
Hey I am going to do a video on al my protective gear. A lot of people want to know.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Gotcha. Looking forward to it
I bought the G3 because I wanted a torquey fast acceleration hub board. Is the zealot way more torquey and have faster acceleration? I wouldnt be surprised if it is torque-ier but is it very significant, I hope not aha. Been waiting one and a half months for delivery of my G3. Should be here in just under another 2 weeks
I have you guys covered soon.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent ooh a drag race! Been waiting over two months for my G3 and it's still not updated shipping :(
Did you notice that in the video (34 seconds in backfires video) the board had lights? And it looks like the lights say backfire on them. Look carefully. I wonder if the board comes with lights? Or if this a Shredlights competitor?
Joe Tavarez did not see that lee see. Someone recommended that they should do that though. Good catch.
Joe Tavarez I looked I did not see it can you send me a screen shot
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent checkout Instagram, I just posted it.
I saw it great catch. When you said lights I thought you were talking about the lights on the bottom of the board.
In terms of the video, I think the 45 second video for their Exway Flex competitor seems odd and makes me wonder if the board is not as ready for release as they make it seem 🤔.
That would be one reason why they didn't want to go into details.
Joe Tavarez wow that’s a really interesting perspective. Maybe they are waiting on reviewers. Daniel has a board.
Which board is wider? The Exway Flex or the Backfire G3?
Jonathan Smart I have full comparison videos coming soon. The Zealot video will be first.
What did u put on your battery enclosures? The tape?
Jesus Carrillo getting a lot of question like this. I have you guys covered soon.
The video was way too short for sure, I thought they would go into more of the board itself. The question is which would you pick flex or zealot?
Richmond Sapatin way too short my son was actually mad. 😝 he said I should dislike the video. Of course I did not though 😂😂
The zealot has more power and higher speed but you can get software updates on the flex
In your G3 review and Zealot review, you seemed to really appreciate the G3 and Zealot. But in your comments to this review, you don't seem to really like the G3 anymore. I'm thinking about begin the G3. It would be my first electric board. No experience. Just want to use it for casual smooth rides. Should I reconsider?
I love both of them. I would get zealot for wheel options though and more torque. But both are good. Use my backfire link to support the channel. 🤟🤟
What are the customer service and quality thoughts with Backfire? I currently ride a Ownboard but looking to upgrade to this type of set-up with the cloud wheels. Lately the quality and customer service with Ownboard seems sub-par, according to FB posts.
Two Forty Exway and Backfire have a solid reputation for customer service.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I have a question I just ordered the backfire g3 yesterday do you really think I'm missing out on anything with the zealot ? Besides a belt drive and having a slightly bigger battery?
I’ve emailed questions twice to Backfire and received a response within less than 24 hours both times. That is amazing.
Backfire has the best customer service I’ve personally experienced out of most of the Chinese companies. Exway seems pretty good as well.
S Scott I agree very responsive.
where did you get the carbon fibre cover for the board in the background?
maplejake let me find out. I will do a video for you guys.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent thank you cause i bought a backfire zealot and I think it uses the same case so it'd be sick to replace it with one that looks like carbon fiber
Hope they make those cloud wheels also for the G3!
Patrick De Sousa Fenza I guess they could make a custom sleeve. That would be game changing.
On their instagram you can notice, that cloudwheels won't fit G3, there will be no adapter for hubs. However, company called iWonder is going to release soon the transition for hub motors, so I'm pretty excited. As soon as they are released, I think I'll purchase them :)
Adam S that will be a comfortable ride. And game changing
Would you say it's worth the extra money as opposed to the g3 today?
Have you had a chance to see my Zealot review
So many options. Not sure where I should pull the trigger
I'm with you man, I'm thinking im gonna pull the trigger on this board
@@ianpeyer1242 Same
yo mr philips, we once wrote a little together, maybe you rember maybe u dont. I have the issue with my G3. Its not rolling as well anymore, you can make it clear if you let free roll the backwheels with remote lifted from the floor. one of the wheels spin way more then the other. Do you know how i may can clean up the backwheels bearings? I once tried to remove then to clean the bearings, but i didnt want to break sth. I would love you to make a video about to clean up the backwheels. Do you think you may could do such a video? Would be awesome. Btw. great Video again!
Oli Don Bello I have never had to clean mines yet. I bet Backfire has a video. Email them and see if they have one. 🤙🤙
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent can u give a link tho?
im sure they would ask you rather then me
Oli Don Bello I don’t understand
A little off topic, but how do you feel about “free mode” in the Exway Flex? Is it comparable to a boosted with that same buttery feel and no lag? Does it brake better in standard mode?
Alex Kupriyanov it’s funny that you ask that. I talk about that in my Exway video. ruclips.net/video/gdweveTXqI0/видео.html Free mode is good man. Check it out though in the video when I talk about the brakes. 🤙🤙 Stay safe.
Where did you get that carbon fiber wrap, it’s so cool
?????? Have a video where I discuss all my protective gear coming soon.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent wonderful, I just purchased the flex and I really want my board to last
Spec wise, would you stick with the Flex or the Zealot?
Corman Nook that’s a good question. To be decided. Backfire send me a board 😜
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent oh wow! As much as they repost your videos, I would've thought you had one by now.
Joe Tavarez just being patient. 🤙🤙
That promo video....was kinda flat they should have had some ride footage...some real marketing... something. Like get me excited to buy the board lol great video btw. Waiting forever and a day on my Flex😂
YMK The Creative 😝😝😝 hang in there she will be there soon. You will be happy. I think Backfire waiting on reviewers to do that for them. I could do a dope video 😂😆😎
Making me want to cancel and order this zealot the deck is amazing. I ordered the Flex this week but i guess it has the advantages with the trucks, exsisting app and most of all esc.
Andre Fortune both are solid. You are winning with either.
I just got one it’s super fast
Nice ride safe.
What would your rather have? G3 or zealot?
Have you seen my Zealot review?
Uhhhgh zealot sold out till end of April. Not getting the S for 200 more tho.
My S review will be up soon 🤫🤫🤫
Well for now its been two months that i ordered my G3 plus, ans still haven't received scratch from Backfire, and neither does UPS... The boards are nice, but don't be impatient guys.
Anyway, thanks for the vids and content, hope you'll be able to review it!
Hazell K appreciate it me too. Stay safe.
I’m still riding a V1 boosted. Has anyone had a V1 and can tell me how these new budget boards compare?
Way more range
James Ruhmel these boards have more range. They often have higher top speeds. Boosted may have a little more toque but to me not enough to justify nearly 2000 dollars for a board. 🤙🤙 Consider subscribing. Stay safe.
V1's acceleration is kinda dwarfed by many budget belt drives now.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent yes sir I subscribed. Thank you for the feedback!!!
Is that a ROMP guard on the Flex?
Canyon A it is. Can’t wait to get some from Exway
It is I have a link and discount in description.
I would like the zealot vs the flex way.
Kevin Chandra lets see only thing I am missing is the Zealot. 🤙🤙
For a college student who values comfort and range and would want the best value . Out of exway, the g3, and the zealot what would you recommend ? Others have offered be cheaper boards like meepo but for the ER it would pretty much match up to these boards values . I was thinking about belt driven systems because there availability to have smoother ride options but I never ridden an eskateboard to know if hub motors are something to stay away from . I’m gonna be on the road and concrete a lot .
christian Reynolds to me after sale service is so important. I would stick with Exway or Backfire. I would also focus on their belt drive systems. Comfort and wheel options. Wait to see some reviews on the Zealot and the Flex. My Zealot will be here soon. It’s stuck in customs. So I give you some info that may help.
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent appreciate it! This helped me narrow things. Can't wait to see the review.
Bro backfire making a belt drive board after dissing them so much is hilarious.
LOL you crazy!!!
What’s awesome is that they’re humbly acknowledging that by naming it the “Zealot”
DEVIL theGOAT I like that.
I just ordered the g3 anybody know how long it takes to get to the destination it says 7 to 15 business days is that accurate?
Aaron Arce it depends on where you are based. If you are US if they have boards in stock you get it very soon. If the board has to come out the country it takes longer.
I ordered the Ranger X2 April 6th and the G3 on the 13th. Still haven’t received either. My buddy ordered the Ranger X2 April 3rd and received it on the 18th. That’s all I know.
I had to order from China stock bc they were sold out USA stock it says 7 to 15 business days
I live in Indiana
@@robbiecan have you had any notification that it shipped ? Or did your friend get notified when it shipped and was he able to track it
Yeah, video premier is way too short!!
Way too short LOL but is was great marketing.
When I first clicked in this I was wondering why Martin Lawrence was doing an electric longboard review 💀
First!
Joe Tavarez I see you 👀🤙🤙
Anybody who make video to compare exway flex and this zealot?😀 I personally think its better deal... and also with the branded cloudwheels... hope its not gonna be as traggic as the real cloudwheels with their cores
Mike Rubek that will be a good video. Exway has their own cloud wheels too. Going to be interesting.
How loud is the zealot Vs the G3? Could you send a video to me on Instagram @Matthew.Sherman
It a little louder but its worth it sounds cool and you have more options with belts. I have link in description. If you use it it supports the channel.
Every board should have a quick change battery!!! Also, they should be putting money into direct drive
Aeroworks540 I agree. That’s one of the things I like about Exway. But the range on this board seems solid.
I honestly like the zealot but I dont think it's worth it rn
What would make it "worth it"? Stronger motors?
Bigger batteries?
Lower price?
If so, at what price? I mean $600 is dirt cheap.
I paid $240 for my regular non-electric landyachtz longbaord.
Even more shocking, I just ordered a MetroboardX for like $2,600 if you add the premium Riptide bushings I asked them to install we are at $2,700.
Just curious how this $600 board is not worth it.
E-Skate Media what does not seem worth it to you. Interesting perspective.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent $600 is dirt cheap. Even for a high-school kid. I mean that's like half the price of a flagship phone...🤣
@@JT-xf9sw Im not saying its a bad board because the board is awesome but, I wanna be able to use different wheels other than the 96 and the 105s and i also don't like it when you put turbo mode on that the lights turn on and flash, some people in my neighborhood would get annoyed. Its just nitpicky stuff i actually would buy this board if i could but I'm not too much of a fan of big wheels
Joe Tavarez 😜😜 look they be buying boosted 😆 naw but they have cheaper boards. But this board and others like the Exway Flex will be solid for a while.
