- Since I tried the prototype Ownboard W2 a few months ago, many improvements have been made to the board. It's one of my favorite electric skateboards right now and one of the best deals for a belt driven electric skateboard today.

11:26 Ownboard W2 or Boosted Board
Daniel Kwan please consider me for a give away ❤️😍😍
Hi Daniel, how may i contact you? I need some tips and advises in getting a E skate board
Hi Daniel am looking to get the W2 kit and am wondering would it be worth waiting for a Meepo belt drive system or is this as good as it gets for budget belt drive options. I am on my Meepo V2P still Loving it but would not mind eventually switching to e belt driven boards, thanks in advance.... Milan 😁
So what if I wanted to put 120mm cloud wheels from IWONDER, would they fit? Or any type of longboard wheels.
great write up, and loving the new style! You're right, these boards are getting to be waaay too fast lol
The problem with this style is it takes me a full week to put out a video 😅 So I wonder if I can do the next one in one take haha
To me Ownboard is underrated, I mean most of the time few people talk about this brand but to me they really do an excellent job while trying to not be too expensive. Great review but now I want the W2!
Yeah they don’t do much marketing. I feel like this B2C Ownboard business is a side gig for them 😄
I really enjoyed the video bro. Great job! Simple to the point and visually appealing. You hit all the points that matter to me in a review. Not just the specs that manufacturers give but how it pertains to real world and comparisons to other boards. Great job
Thank you ☺️
The structure and editing are top notch on this video!
Ordered w2 in March, it arrived only in May. The battery died on the second ride. The truck went bad as well. Waited almost 3 months for replacements. The new bushings rattle and the washings don't fit. There's a gap between the status display and the enclose it sits in. Any splash gets through there, and through the top also (between the foam and the enclosure). The wires inside the ESC enclosure are protected from water with a tape. It's an amazing board, but only if you get a good one. If you get a defected one, be prepared to spend A LOT of time and energy to get anything from them.
DK you make the best reviews. Thank you so much
as usual great review
i really love my w2 with w1as swapped deck. been riding 20-40km a day the last month now.. really wish i had gotten the kegel pulleys tho, they incl them like a few days after mine was sent to denmark :D also great video Daniel!
Nice! My W2 is arriving in two days and will be a nice upgrade from my current Ownboard W1S. I was going back and forth between the W2 and the Meepo NLS Pro but finally settled on the W2 because I've never had a belt driven board.
Cool I think you’ll find that it’s less jarring going over small bumps and rough surfaces, even with the 83mm wheels!
Just got mine and it is a great ride! The flex is identical to Boosted actually and has incredible range. Very happy with the purchase
Thank you for this review, thumbs up! I like it comes with extras wheels and belts - looking at the new version for 2021 at the moment.
Hi Daniel, can you make a video about Wowgo 3x Vs Ownboard?
What a great video review. I acknowledge that it isn't as refined as a boosted but I feel it is a much much better value especially with your discount code. Even though it has the generic hobby wing remote IMO without the boosted app it's just as good as the boosted remote minus the trigger. You get so much more than a boosted at a much better price.
Thanks for the update! Have been looking around and I think this finally sold me on the W2.
Love the slow mo clips 😁
Imagine being the idiot who disliked this video. Keep it up, your videos getting better and better and its always a great watch
I love my W1ASKT with the Sanyo battery. I know it's a hub motor but I still love it. I'd love to ride this one too.
hmm board arrived a week ago, and i don't have rubber ring and also come unstuck grip tape. But otherwise the board is excellent. Ownboard should seriously raise quality control.
great comprehensive review! seems like a great budget option for people who want belt driven boards but cant be bothered to spend more money
Great review thanks
Dangg! Awesome review!
Great review!
Super awesome electric skateboard
Mr Daniel :) Love the new format of your videos (fells more "refined" and I like it (not that I didn't like your other videos). Excellent review, thanks for taking the time to create it.
Thank you!
this review is really thorough and good. Thanks. I have been wanting one like this since boosted first came out. I was hooked on evolve one day, but can't justify price. I see this to be the one I'll probably go with. What's the major difference between this and the AT with cloud wheels? Do they have similar road feel, or is the AT far more comfortable?
Really good review bro. Well detailed. Let me find out that WowGo is upping their game.
Hi Daniel,
It's been six months now that you've had your board. Does it still hold up well? Thanks!
Best review yet
Want this for college. Is it good enough for class to class travel? I looked at the fixing belt tension and it seems way too complicated haha. Is there like a charging stand or something to charge it
I actually rate the customer support due to corona virus it was delayed but sally was there all of the way answering any questions fast considering the huge time difference but yeah I’m happy to say my ownboard w2 is arriving today.
OKAY !! I'm watching Ownboard W2 from prototype stage - and now I really think that I will get one \ it simply fits my budget \ or BANG for my BUCK $$$
They are well-made boards.
Awesome and thorough review! Thanks Daniel! If only streets in the U.S. were as nice as the streets in China. I really like the board, i have an Ownboard W1A hub motor, its rough riding on the streets here. But its held up over the past 2 years or so. I am debating on the W2 or an all terrain board. if only they made really small tires for boards like this. Maybe someday.
The major downside of an AT board is its portability, but how much that affects you might depend on where you live. I imagine it’s much more of a hassle in places like SF or Manhattan and not much of an issue in suburbs.
finally!!! been waiting for this. Do you get a lot of rocks stuck in the belt? I have to clean it every ride
Wha?? No I haven’t had rocks stuck in there, but the streets here don’t have many pebbles. The rocks get stuck between the teeth?
@@DanielKwan no the rocks get stuck in the belts, like embedded, I have to dig it out. I think it's because the w2 doesn't have shields like the boosted
TheSpore35 also my motor mounts are not even at all which causes me to bottom out lots on one side
@@TheRobincanuck nah homie my pulleys don't really get pebbles stuck, just the belts
As always amazing review/vid 🤙!
BUT LESS flex than the Wowgo 3? Then there's something wrong with my Wowgo 3 or Ownboard W2. My Ownboard W2 is super flexy. My Wowgo 3 is much stiffer, though it has more flex than stiff decks like Koowheel/Kooboard, TeamGee H9,...
Hmm interesting... Sounds like they weren’t always shipping the same decks.
@@DanielKwan yeah, that's what I was thinking. Because W2's deck is AMAZING 😱! If it had the enclosures and finishing touches as the Ownboard 3, then this board would be the t*ts 😅. I'm going to contact Wowgo 3 for this. My W2 is super flexy and a joy to ride. Just ordered my Kegel pulleys and my Cuagama's and Zealous bearings are waiting to put on 😎.
Thanks again for a great vid amigo 🙌🤙
Just ordered the kit from ownboard. No more gas!! I cant wait to toss on those 90mms
Any idea why they changed the belt covers? A list of changes/improvements and reasons behind them would be awesome! I purchased my first eskate (the W2) based on your coverage. Thanks!
Yeah don’t know why they made that cosmetic change. The other changes, off the top of my head: battery, clip to hold motor cables, detachable pulleys (Flywheel), both trucks, Kegel pulleys, extra set of wheels... I think that’s it. There might have been other minor stuff. Oh and there’s now a logo on the ESC enclosure.
How do you feel about this now
Can you do a comparison with the wowgo 3 and the onboard w2
I think those would be good to compare
yesss
@@DanielKwan +1 +1 +1 make this comparison!! It's the two boards that I have in consideration for my first board purchase, I'm probably going with the Wowgo.. But this one is definitely my no.2
@@DanielKwanI love the handle on my boards. I have the W1AS because of your review video. I still love that board and ride it regularly. Thanks for the accurate reviews.
Wowgo 3x would be an even better comparison
Man have you not heard of the meepo v3 yet?
Daniel I’m with you on the breaks!?!? I think That the more you pull the wheel back the harder the break should get and if you pull it back all the way the wheels should lock up.
Nice video in fact I just ordered one but the purple ring was in there because the trucks were not aligned last time
As far as performance goes which do you prefer; ownboard w2 or wowgo 3s?
If talking about acceleration and braking, then WowGo 3. W2 performs better in range and grip.
You are awesome!! Great videos! BUT PLEASE review the new W2 pro. Not a single review out on the internet about it...
Thinking of purchasing a Backfire G2T, do you have a discount code for the G2T?
No discounts for Backfire at the moment, but if you use my affiliate link dkwan.com/backfire and keep your email receipts, I’ll send you some stickers later. I’ll have more info about that soon.
Great review! Would you pick this or the wowgo 3 for rough city roads? It's gonna be my first flexy board, figured it'd be good for rough roads, but i hope i can still take either up to speed when i want to.
This one, since you can change to bigger and softer wheels if needed.
The option to go with any style wheel is good. I have the wowgo-3, the wheels are not only soft but wide and with the flexible deck it eats bumps pretty good.
A good review, I much prefer hub motors but then no choice of wheels.
hi there, may i ask how is the turning radius for sharp turns? and the flex on the deck, road conditions in SG are pretty rocky.
It turns fine. You can always make it turn more by adjusting the trucks and/or changing the bushings. It has a decent amount of flex, similar to Boosted Stealth (tho I’ve seen others report more flex). I think choosing the right wheels will do more than a flexy deck for bad roads tho.
I agree with Daniel on this one, finding a set of semi at wheels would make a world of difference (something like the slick revolution rough stuff)
Are the motor mounts screwed on? Could I put the motors on the opposite side of the trucks?
Great review as always. When you said less springy than the stealth was that good or bad? Sounds like with a bit stronger motors and better looking enclosures this would be the perfect and real alternative to Boosted.
Neither good nor bad... Just different. I didn’t spend very much time on the Stealth’s deck so maybe I’m just not aware of the benefits of its design.
I’d love to go cruise around with you buddy!
I like speed and carving and range
Should I go for nls pro or ownboard w2 with 90 mm wheels
Never tried NLS Pro so I can’t say for sure, but I like the ride on real wheels much more than hub motor PU sleeves.
Check the board reviews on this blog - you can find both boards www.samjadelaide.com/reviews.html
@@DanielKwan does it feel better on the nls or ownboard
gg e If you’re talking about comfort, maybe the NLS. The deck on the NLS is flexy and quite big. The big wheels help too.
very professional review ,
We need a WowGo 3 (flexi deck, orange soft wheels, Telemetric able HW ESC, LED display Remote) with the Onwboard W2 beltdrive, and that Samsung 40T 10S2P 60A able battery...
Is it possible to change the wheels to AT wheels? I'm thinking of getting the W2 dual belt motor kit to install it on my backfire G2T but I would love to have AT wheels on it
would you prefer this board over the backfire G2T ?
Yes
Traffic looks pretty intense over there. You may want to consider getting a small mirror for your helmet (just like ones commonly used with cycling. 🚴♀️) those little bikes that are everywhere there won’t sneak up on you.
Ah yes, good for spotting traffic cops too. They can be sneaky
my choice is between ownboard w2 and the meepo v3 but can’t find any meepo reviews. what’s your guys opinion
Hi, thanks for the review
Do you think I should buy the w2 or the wowgo 3? I live in the hills and need a board with decent torque
WowGo 3 would probably get you up a hill more quickly, but W2 should get you up more hills (assuming it’s able to get up those hills). Hard to say for sure...
@@DanielKwan thanks
great review but your point about torque of belt vs hub is wrong. you might use a bigger motor in a hub to compensate but pulleys on belt drive give a great mechanical advantage.
Are there any other belt driven electric skateboards within a budget of $500-$600?
Daniel Kwan,
I am ordering a w2 for myself and ownboard is asking for a picture of the actual credit card price deduction. They say I can cover everything else up and just show the w2 transaction, but this is still weird to me. They said I have to send the picture before they ship the board, just wanted to know if this is your experience too or not. Thank you for the great videos!
Several people have brought this up on reddit. Seems to be normal for Ownboard. To prevent fraud or something.
Daniel Kwan
Thanks so much for the reply, I feel much better paying now. Happy holidays and keep up the great videos. I love the quality, no bs, and great humor. You’re definitely doing something right man.
I dont know if i should pick this one up or a nls pro
Jellan HD I’m facing the same dilemma
He doesn’t have a review of nls pro so I don’t know how it compares. From what I have heard the nls pro has a pretty good ride so that eliminates the one advantage to this boars
No body ever talks about the meepo v3 😤 smh. The best budget electric skateboard, in my opinion.
But the NLS pro?
I think it's because Meepo wouldn't send just anyone a free board. John Paul's es8 YT chanel has all the great V3 videos, currently the top 3 fastest board he's ever tested.
Can we get an update on the w2 a lot has been updated like a new remote and battery
I wish this board was out when I bought my Boosted Board, I could have saved a lot of money...
hopefully they make a budget bamboo all terrain model for around the same quality and price.
Bnory ownboard has pretty bad customer support reputation. You can see a lot of posts on reddit about it. I think the boosted board was still worth it since you can always count on the company. Hope you have fun with it!
@@najeff2 uh...
@@gregkosinski2303 About time to take my words back lmaoo
Pretty sure you have heard of the Vestarboard V2-pro. Have you had a chance to try it and how do you think it compares to the ownboard w2?
I have not tried it but it seems like a good improvement over the Vestar V2. If comparing with Ownboard W2 be sure to check the battery and wheel options.
What shoes are you wearing in this vid? I love them
I have a question, i am looking to get an electric skateboard and boosted is too expensive. And l am on a tight budget 600 $ max, which one would you say is better this board, or the backfire g2 galaxy?
This one
Thank you for this review it’s very awesome and can you please do a video of a hill test for this bored thank you!
I’d really like to but there are no accessible hills near me. :(
If you could only keep one board, and one board only.. Would you go with the Wowgo 3 or this one? (Wowgo 3 with better battery, 120+ dollars for Molicel 8.4 Ah battery) The Wowgo do become slightly more expensive with this though compared to the W2. But if money is not part of the discussion which one would you go with
If I could keep only one I guess I’d choose the
@@DanielKwan OMG hahah
Does anyone know if you can fit cloud wheels on this board?
Could you make a video for the belt tension?
The Raldey is a Hobbywing ESC and is belt driven..
And Leafboard, Exway, Vestar
I have a question about battery. My ownboard w2 is showing 0% battery and still can ride, is that have anytging to do with voltage, because display is showing 32V and 0% battery?
I don’t know the reason sorry, but mine can still move at 0% too. Just much more slowly.
I bought a w1s sanyo version last year but since then i was always looking for a way to put custom wheels on it. So now, can I upgrade my w1s to a w2 with an upgrade kit? Can I just get the belt motors or do i have to change the esc as well?
The ESC would have to be changed also.
Ah i see. Thanks man. Keep up the good work!
Karmabase DJ
i
so.... do you have something against evolve boards?
I do like everything on this longboard but not a deck, how do u think, could i put some solid top mount for this motor and battery? (Sry for bad english)
Not quite sure what you mean, but you can use your own deck if you’re willing to drill some holes and whatnot.
@@DanielKwan Okay haha thank you! I ment if w2 kit will be working with my drop trought low gravity deck* xd
Oh that I don’t know. You should consult Ownboard about that. I don’t think you can point the motors backward with the standard kit but maybe they have another solution. And then there’s the ground clearance issue for the battery case.
@@DanielKwan Okay thank you man, you halped me a lot! Its becouse the city when i live has a lot of downs, and i dont know if it will be comfortable to do downhills with this flexy deck :)
Can you review the w2 pro?
Great video 👌
Please more real speed tests
This board vs the meepo nls pro... Help pls:(
I second this! these are the two boards I'm looking at
@@bournechupacabra bought the meepo yesterday lol.. Belt driven are just too loud and gather attention.. +maintenance n stuff
Can u check your board to see if the motor mounts are even. I and others have noticed they are offset and can’t be adjusted
I asked the boss guy about that after seeing the Reddit posts. He said those trucks were from an earlier batch and the current trucks have indentations that lock the mounts in position. Pic: www.patreon.com/posts/28701035
Daniel Kwan thanks
Hi!
It’s better than meepo v3!?
Thanks, I really want to buy my first skateboard electric
I’ve never tried Meepo V3 but I don’t have much confidence in the ESC it’s using. I think Meepo’s best products are likely the NLS Pro and Classic 2.
Daniel Kwan hi Daniel, I’m fairly new to eskates and I’m thinking to get one of the Chinese budget skates. Which models should be the safest or what ESC and controller should I pay attention on?
Alex K. Look for something that uses Hobbywing’s ESC and take into consideration what your roads are like. I think Backfire G2 Black would be a safe choice for most first-time eskate buyers.
Nice tutorial on this e Board! But lets give some kudos to you, not an easy place you were riding in dodging peoples, cars and scooters..Hats off! :
Are the pulleys the same dimensions as Boosted pulleys?
Hmm I don’t know. I can check when I meet my friend again.
It would be great to have and abec pulley for my Boosted Board
I really want the ownboard W2 but have to keep it low key because of the popo :( .
I know how you feel
meepov3 or w2?
For the price, is it your favorite board?
This is how you review an electric skateboard
Tf where is the carry handle at
this is korea?
Meepo v3 please
So don’t sell my slowly aging and value dwindling boosted v2 xr and buy an ownboard? I’ve never got anything close to 20 miles on my xr and I just use it for cruising
Personally I would prefer the Boosted. The brakes are so good and there’s like no lag at all in the controls. And batteries are swappable. They really should update that remote’s charging port though. 😄
Daniel Kwan man that charging port is such a joke. I bought my boosted used and almost panicked because I don’t have any electronics that use that style or usb anymore.
Amazing title 🤣🤣🤣
Lol thank you
Their customer services are joke they sent me a scratch up remote and blame it on the shipping defective like seriously it all protected with foam poor customer service don’t order their boards you been warned
Anyone else had a problem with own board not sending out your $500 order a month after purchase
Than the what
ownboard 好像在国内没什么存在感
OWNBOARD SUCKS SO MUCH
i ordered the carbon AT on the 18.10. and till today the board/package still hasen't cleared the customer clearence in china... so my recomendation would be that you dont order anything from them because they are clules and they suck a lot... had no problems with meepo and backfire, meepo even delivered a week earlyer
also the customer service sucks, and all they have are empty promises...
Stop the clickbait and those horrible "sneak peak" intros dude... This ain't TV. I'll just skip to the part I wanna watch (and NO I won't go back to watch the rest, which I would otherwise...) A very bad strategy my friend
