Great video! I love the breaks downs. Lox seeing 4k miles on a board too. I had 1500 on my Boosted Mini before I sold. Happy to really see how far you can push these things. Keep spreading the good word of these boards! PS. You have huge nuts riding this board on what look to be semi rural roads. I would be so afraid to get run over.
Yeah the rural roads in the new town I moved to are a bit too sketchy, lol. Another part of the reason I retired the board. I've been riding an ebike lately
*esk8 is the best way to get around!* ⚡️🤟🏽🤙🏽🤟🏽⚡️ eBoardin is hella fun. Recommend a belt drive board though. I commute 5-8 miles each way regularly. I used to ride rough streets of East London on 90mm hub motors, it's doable. If you got huge gaps and super rough roads then 100-105mm wheels. Agree about dust, dusty streets cause wheels to slip out sometimes 😭
@@sagesends I know many people like AT wheels, not for me, longboarders been ridin rough roads on 80-85mm wheels for years. AT is safer at much higher speeds though, for speed demons and older folks.
Glad to hear your experience. I loved riding my board in college for fun but I’m not the best rider despite my years of experience with longboards and probably like 500 miles logged on my e board. My top speed I would go on a road I knew very well was like 22mph. Otherwise I would feel too afraid of wiping out and I did a couple times. Thankfully it wasn’t anything too bad but it really could have been. That being said I don’t think I would ever use one of these for transportation. It felt awesome riding it but as a rider I never felt safe around vehicles of any kind and know I would be better off riding something a little more traditional and predictable.
Yeah I was lucky to have a lot of bike lanes and bike paths in santa cruz that it was great on. However I was always on edge around cars. And yeah 22 is plenty on these things. I've gone 30 a fair few times and it is always a little terrifying. Only did it to get the adrenaline going, it was never necessary lol. I just did one of those mid drive ebay conversion kits and god damn it's such a better method of transport... faster, wayyy longer range, way more practical, more comfortable, and similar price. I paid under $700 for the whole conversion.
I was torn between the Endurance 2.0 and Lorentz Major. I went with the Major and so far I'm more than pleased with my decision. Still might get the Endurance as a base for learning DIY before going full DIY
i find it puzzling that you didn't mention the availability of off road big wheel electric skateboards. I've been riding the backfire ranger for years and I only use it in the city. much safer and nicer to ride
I guess I was only thinking budget/entry level boards, that a beginner rider would buy. Generally, when I see people with a pneumatic tire board, they're enthusiasts. This video is meant for people who have never eskated, and would probably only want to spend a few hundred bucks. But yes, you make a great point, large pneumatic tires would fix many of these issues.
@@sagesends ya or just large rubber tires, dont have to be pneumatic. and ya they are more like a grand minimum thats right. but I would argue they are much safer and easier to ride then urethane small wheel boards, so people should def consider them. I haven't found one yet that actually tolerates riding during the winter in Denmark where I live tho. the ranger x3 from backfire is water resistant but I think the salt they spread on the roads here fs up the bearings, cuz thats what I experienced.
Aye, all the more reason to go e-bike. I'm an esk8 kid at heart, but the practical side of me knows you can do a DIY ebike conversion or even buy a prebuilt ebike with fenders for under a grand that will be 2x as water resistant, way more comfortable for long distances, and able to haul stuff on a rack. This video was basically me saying "if you want a good PEV for commuting, an esk8 probably isnt it" However I think it came across more as "esk8's suck" which is totally not the case, I had hella fun on mine (which you can tell by how well worn it is, haha). Thanks for watching either way! Don't take my videos tooo seriously, lol
@@sagesends ya for sure. no, I fucked with the vid and its crazy how long the merpo lasted I gotta say. was just curious about your opinion on big wheel esk8s.
Allgood input except you neglected to mention that a more expensive all-terrain electric skateboard what's solve most of the issues are all of the issues encountered with the cheaper hub motor board and allow you to maintain thale level of fun if not increase it. I'm on my third board. Each an upgrade from the last. Backfire Zealot to OwnBoard Zeus to my current ride the Lorentz Major. The major eats any potholes I fail to dodge, typical road debris etc etc. It'll do 40mph and so far my longest single trip was 17.5 miles and I only used 40% of my battery on that.
Great point, I definitely should have touched on AT boards more. I was considering a meepo hurricane as well. I think I should have included a disclaimer that my thoughts in this video really only apply to entry level boards. Thanks for watching anyhow! Cheers
Is this video real? Are you still riding on meepo v3 while I already went on to backfire zealot and sold it, some electric scooters and mopeds that I also sold, and now one wheel and EUC begode T4? I understand that there must be something about money, but it is no longer inexpensive to purchase new hub motors or perform general maintenance. Anyways let me watch the video ahhaha
I believe the EUC is the safest of all electric devices, especially with the huge tires and suspension. It eats all the potholes, and there's no need to worry about getting over the handlebar since there isn't one, and you have both hands free. A single charge can always provide at least 50 miles of range. It took me a long time to convince myself to buy one. Now after almost two years and no need for even the smallest maintenance it's really my favorite.
Yeah! I kept it cause it just kept working. My car and sur ron kept need maintenance and the v3 just kept going. I fixed the hubs twice, so that did happen. Yeah EUC is hands down the best portable form of transportation. I would argue that if size isnt a limit for a PEV, ebikes are the most capable, especially the ridiculous range you can get from pedal assist ones. I have a tongshen mid drive ebike I just converted and it's amazing. 45+ mile range and itll do 30mph, and the whole conversion only cost me like $650 (I already had the bike). You might not be able to go over the bars on a EUC, but if they malfunction somehow, or lose power, or you go past the torque limit... at 30... that could be a life changing injury. Very low chance but if it did happen... would just be soo bad. I like the bike cause I know that even if the motor bricks while I'm riding itll keep rolling and I can keep pedalling. Thank you for watching and providing your experience! Cheers!
The hardest part is definitely having to trust EUC, but thankfully everything just works. I love things that work flawlessly. When I used skateboards, the remote would occasionally disconnect even when I was riding. This happened with literally everything else I tried. I was afraid of bikes because my belt fell off on a slope and I got stuck. EUC's job is to literally keep you alive and level no matter what. If anything would stop you, even when using an e-bike, EUC would magically speed up the wheel to get you through the obstacle. Anyways please continue recording more videos thanks
Yeah it was denfinitely a tossup for me, I was really thinking of getting a kingsong or begode. Went with the bike purely for the cargo hauling capabilities. I'm using it as a complete car replacement at the moment. More videos to come!

My gear drive Lorentz Major with 200mm pneumatics is an absolute tank.
The man the myth the legend returns
dude okay I uploaded like 3 weeks ago it's been pretty consistent 😂
Love it! Any follow-up review for Veymax too?
Need to log a few more miles on it! Only around 500 down!

I've got an Mboards Endurance so looking to ride it more and commute on it :)
Oh yeah with big wheels like that you'll be fine. It's just the normal PU skateboard wheels that are pretty exhausting on most streets

Highly recommend isinwheel V10 electric skateboard for 620 with a discount good range and tires
This right here^^ if you’re getting speed wobbles get 93a riptides krank it feels just like my propel!(less acceleration obv)but very stable! ❤
do you strill have your cokoie clicker owrld
Dude I wish, that install of chrome got wiped before I made an account

Yeah it was denfinitely a tossup for me, I was really thinking of getting a kingsong or begode. Went with the bike purely for the cargo hauling capabilities. I'm using it as a complete car replacement at the moment. More videos to come!
The “best”? For everyone? Ok dude.
