      My Zealot S is on its way as well. I researched the hell out of this purchase. I could have purchased my friends V2 used Boosted Board but for $300 more I could not justify spending $500.00 on a used BB when I could buy a fabulous brand new board that appears from all reviews and specs to actually be a better board than anything BB has ever made. I wonder what you guys would have done. The BB has like 200 miles on it and is in good shape.

    I totally agree that these wheels feel super grippy when sliding or even heavy carving. I previously had a Meepo V3 and found sliding easier with the less grippy wheels of the Meepo compared to the Backfire Zealot. Not sure if that's really better overall as the grippiness definitely adds to the stability most of the time. Nice vid as always!

      It’s all preference, research every board you can and set a good budget, if you’re going low budget then look at stuff like exway, if you’re planning on going off roading, then one wheel, there’s so many options, just research what is right for you!

    • @sethsimmons3783
      @sethsimmons3783 4 года назад +5

      I’m late to this response but I went with the zealot and couldn’t be happier. The only problem I have is it tells me it’s getting hot or some other warning pretty often, I haven’t figured it out yet or found it anywhere else. But I ride it hard and fast and full throttle acceleration and speed most of the time. Doesn’t seem to be hurting the board or causing issues, I just ride slow once it pops up and then it’s fine again. I couldn’t be happier with it personally. I haven’t drained it all the way yet, but according to the remote I got 11 miles with 25% battery left.

    This is my second day with my zealot S and I wasn’t confident to pull a slide on a tight turn. I jumped off and my board took a big scrape in the front :(
    Anyone know it’s durability with impacts against walls? Like how many can I count before my board snaps?

    • @teewylerable
      @teewylerable 2 года назад +2

      Unfortunately, just due to the nature of impacts/damage, there's no "magic number" for a board. It depends how hard it's getting smacked, how often, impact angle, etc.
      You can buy stuff to go on the sides/front of the board-like little bumpers, basically. They can help protect against this.

    "A couple of scrapes" it looks like the work of freddie cruger!!!!
    In all seriousness though the flex needs the deck shape of the Zealot but the flex of the flex. Those damn wheel flares are killing the flex for me into considering this as my no.2.
    And I ride off curbs but with 7 inch AT's makes it super doable. Maybe wouldn't recommend for chonky riders, could be more risky for the deck but yeah I've never scraped the motors or and damage thus far.

    You look so light and the board flexes allot with you, a heavier person won't be able to e joy the board so much.
