Backfire is now using Sunpower brand 21700 battery instead of Samsung 30T.
Do you have a review of the Mototech 1600w dirt board ?
@@g.n.4046 Man you do NOT want to get that thing. That uses a lead acid battery, which is an outdated battery technology that outputs a pretty low amount of power, and is highly prone to failure. If you want something similar to it but a wowgo AT2, ownboard bamboo AT, or backfire ranger X2. All of those use lithium ion batteries, which is a hundred times better than lead acid.
Time for an update in 2021. Much has changed in a year
what about summerboard?
@@user-pk9tw7ju9r Summerboard IS NOT budget friendly , its $1500 a pop
Range isn’t really talked about, which makes a big difference.
Agreed video was useless shut it down half way
Foreal
The one thing that can easily be modified. My board can for only $60 be taken from 25 kilometres up to about 41. My small board I have taken that from about 10 to 20.
@@chuckmaddison2924 how
@@Joze10 simple, range = capacity milliamp or amp hours how ever you call it. So just add batteries in parallel. Where I am 18650 cells can be bought for about $ 20 each but Aldi power tool batteries with 10 high capacity Samsung cells are only $30 . That's how I did it. Just pull pack apart. And install plastic holder with cells and just reconnect balance charger to change which I power from a laboratory power supply.
When is Tesla gonna drop one with a thicc battery
Some reclaimed Tesla 2170 cells popped up and they would fit perfectly in my TB40 enclosure, problem is they were $5 a cell and used. bigbattery.com/product/bigbattery-model-3-2170-cells-w-cap-box-of-25/
You can get excellent 21700 new cells for way under $5 with nearly the same specs, but if they show up for less than say $4 a cell I will totally make a pack with them. They are bound to show up at competitive prices sometime it's just a matter of when.
Id buy an electric skateboard or one wheel from tesla for 5-10k$ .
You can already get tesla battery skateboards
@@pokiblue5870 its not a skateboard if it has one wheel
thats why i said * or * id buy both products one or the other if TESLA would enter this market.
The *perfect* e-board would have:
- A range of at least 30-40 km
- Offroad wheels
- A replaceable battery so you can carry a second one in your backback, doubling the range
Also a fast way to recharge it ! Stop at a cofee shop and recharge it or have a solar panel to gather energy !
two years later is there any one like that
Or one that uses heat energy made by the wheels moving and solar while still so we dont gotta charge anymore
I wanna make this but dk how lol
Can we just give thanks to this man who spent hella research just to narrow it down for the best and best budget
Change playback speed to 1.25x
You're welcome.
Yoo. I did not notice how slow he was until I read this.
1.5x even better
Woah Man thank! I felt like I was watching a work orientation video for a sec.
Why would anyone downgrade from x2?
love your channel and the way you do consistent reviews makes things so much more clear for newbies. KEEP IT UP
Awesome video well done! Definitely was needed!
I have the Ownboard w2 and holy crap the control is unreal, and it’s still got a shot ton of torque, and top speed it’s really the best board for people that want the comfort and amazing better speed of belt drives. So much fun I have it and it’s great.
Amazing and informative video. You just confirmed my own research. You nailed top picks in each category!
Thank you! Appreciate the validation!
This video was the most helpful thing ever. Literally I binged watched this video to get the pros and cons of each board. Nicely done!
You can’t binge watch a single video
very underrated video. thanks for the info.
Absolutely wonderful content. If it wasn't for this video, I'd be spending literal weeks trying to compile this information! Thank you so much.
Too many made in China, I'd rather not support slavery!
Great reviews i lvoed every second. I personally prefer DIY but these reveiws are spot on for a newbie to learn the difference! Keep it up!!
Nice in depth review that doesn't sound completely like Amazon ads.
Best board list to date !! 5/5 stars
Awesome vid. Thanks for all the details. website is great for extra specs as well
Man that bustin board ad cracks me up every time. Those old ppl bustin moves for sure
Thanks men!
Love it thank you!!
Very good and useful video. Good work! Thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks man!
I just got the Ownboard bamboo and ordered a set of cloud wheels and gears. Thanks for this info!
lovely content
Thanks man!
This is so cool! I want one!
Great video! I ended up getting the Metroboardx.
How it does?
April update for this list:
- Wowgo 3 is now $499 after $100 price cut.
- Backfire G2T is now $499 after $100 price cut.
- Ownboard W2 is now $549/$649 after a $50 price cut. It is still a recommended belt-board but at a very narrow price window as it was sandwiched between Apsuboard X1 at $465 and Exway Flex Riot at $$699.
- Backfire Mini is now $599 with a $100 price cut.
- Meepo City Rider is discontinued.
- Exway Flex ($649-$699) added as a recommended mid-tier belt-board.
- Exway X1 Pro series get a STEEP $200 discount, it's now at $749 and $799(riot)
- Wowgo 3x dropped from the list, outcompeted by the cheaper yet better Exway Flex Riot.
- Evolve Bamboo GTR is now $1699 after a $200 price cut.
Riptide R1 is also 599 now instead of the 399 you have in your video.
Backfire G2T is now only shipping in Europe and no longer in production. N/A in USA/Canada
what about teemo m2?
Looked all over for an hr looking for a city rider. And then I see this comment. I'm looking for a board w big wheels and around that $650 price range. What would you recommend?
Does backfire ship to United States and are they a creditable company I don’t wanna waste my money
Great Video! good Work!!!
Thanksss!
Wow, amazing video!
Excellent video!
Thanks Yoav!
TY do this great catalog
great video dude
Thanks dude!
Solid content 👌
Thanks man!
Thank you, for the info some of these boards I didn't even know exist, I have my eye on the hoyt st 👍👍👍
Going for the classy one eh!
@@ElectricSkateboardHQ there's no review about this board ?
@@boris1567 Hoyt is quality
Great Content !! Lets hope your channel grows !! : )
Thanks man!
Verreal F1 is going on sale for $330 right now. I heard a lot of good stuff from them.
Indeed! Verreal F1 at $330 will be a better deal than Apsuboard V3.
Dang, I ordered the aeboard ae2 like two seeks ago. Haven’t gotten it yet fedex said it’s in Cali right now. Did you cop the verreal ? If so lemme know what u think I’m pretty interested. I’ll let you know about AE as well
Oh also the ae was 359 out the door, but I still woulda liked to save the extra 30
DONT GET VERREAL !! its a really bad company with very poor customer service & angry attitude , I have experienced it ...
Esk8 Tapas danggg that sucks it looks promising from the reviews I’ve seen. I look forward to this AE tho. It has very few but very good reviews. I just wish I would have gotten the first version or the af now that I looked into it. I’ll let u guys know tho how it goes. I know AE is cheap too but I’m hoping with me being new it won’t suck to bad and hopefully it will last a year and a half or so so I can see if I even like e boards ya know ?
I thought I finally found the right one for me... the Exway X1 because I don't like the look of those big batteries and after the price cut it is a budget board now. I went to the shop page and then I saw it. Out of stock and it won't be available again... damn so close the get a fine budget board. But thanks for the video it is really helpful. I'm completely new into electric boards. I hope to see some updates of this kind of videos.
Great Video
Just bought a electric skateboard. Hiboy s11 it is very fun ride. As long as the battery last a year. I'm cool with that. It goes 12 to 13 miles per hour. Anything over that your risking injury. Thanks for the advice Skateboard hq.
My range test on my Lacroix Lonestar was 65 miles.
Woahhh.
LONESTAR LACROIX and KALY NYC are best boards in the market,
price is 4k for both if not mistaken.
The second best board i would say is the BAJA BOARD.
thats crazy!!!! XD ! how much do you weigh ??
They all weak, my board goes 50 miles, but too much power to sell
@@Hydrojn what is it?
6:23 so we're just going to pretend that didn't happen?
Ya we do
I’m confused what happened
@@christiangregory9315 The high five...
The Preacher 36 good eye
Nice catch
Just ordered the Mini V2, it's on sale for $379! Can't wait!
@Mannie Illescas yeah thanks I'd take any board at any price range over a one wheeler 😂
I love my meepo mini
I really liked the WowGo 3 and Backfire G2T. if you were to pick one, which would you choose and why?
Ownboard bamboo gt is 899 and the carbon gt is 999. I own the carbon GT and at this price range it is a very good board with good range and double kingpins. If you like to carve you will love double kingpins. and the cloud wheels are a real bonus
Just bought Action X1 for 140$. The best budget choice
I just want speed... Haha. A quick mention of top speeds would be nice for videos like this.
Edit: might buy the 4wd meepo. 55km/h sounds hella fun.
you w8 speed go bioboards
A list of the names would be great. I hate it when I have to go back again to see what the exact name of the board is
what do you recommend between Apsuboard X2 and Meepo V3 Standard ?
which one is better?
I really like the sound of having thick soft urethane with a belt board, but really want to be able to push, or ride down hills without leaning on the throttle, as seen on hub boards. The roads here aren't fantastic much of the time. This is so much to choose from....
Well I got a meepo v3 don't really have any complaints
If you have a budget at $600 I recommend getting the merlo classic 2 with 25 real world miles of range and a top speed of 25mph with the same trucks and wheels as the nls pro with a similar board with a bit more flex
Left out Revel Kit for the best low mid tier solution imho. Direct drive as smooth and quiet as a Carvon and use with any board (flat) Has cruise control, removable battery and can add another kit to make 4wd. My only issue is I like a slight drop down drop through deck. I'm still waiting on a direct drive or modified direct drive internal hub that pairs with a small wide pnuematic tire.
And love the innovation of the JayKay with a folding deck for travel. That finger remote!
I left out the kits in this video.
Mellow, Loaded Unlimited, Revel and Jaykay,
But also as none of our team have reviewed the Revel and Jaykay.
Wowgo 2S or the Meepo V3? Both seem nice and are similar price points.
hey. I wanna buy a e-board. im looking at two budget boards, the backfire g2 black and lycaon board gr. Do you have any opinions about the smartest purchase? or do you may know a better board?
thx
Meepo AWD Pro with customized wheels through 3D for offroading is where I'm at
3d printed or..?
I got the Backfire Mini and i can really recommend but you have to know how to skate.
Hi! You seem to have tested great amount of dfferent boards! Can you tell which one absorbs best the roughness of the road / has the best flex and smoothness? That is the most important thing for me. I quess any shortboard does not absorb well. The second in priority is the portability.
Have you tested Elwing Nimbus? A long shortboard.
Thanks!
Check Vestar night fury, and you can find 20% discount，and I just purchased and wait for it ! Cost me 640 dollars with double motors.
How you could miss the Bajaboard?? I was waiting to the end for this
Great video! In the market for an all terrain around $800-900ish. Thinking the Ownboard Bamboo or Raldey Carbon v2.. For commuting and streets near me are in bad shape..
Ownboard Bamboo GT. I never did a head to head amongst them but I think Daniel Kwan tried both and thinks Ownboard is better.
Plus, if you are thinking about poor road, flexible bamboo deck gonna be more comfy than carbon deck.
@@ElectricSkateboardHQ Thanks for the feedback! Switching from an escooter to eskateboard. My only concern with the ownboard is the 3 month warranty if it breaks. Heard anything about the quality and ordering parts to fix if it breaks down?
@@mash17303 raldey has those bigger wheels though for better clearance.
I'm curious if the Skatebolt Breeze 2 was considered for this list? It's a newer board but I'm seeing and hearing excellent first-hand accounts and the specs that it boasts are top of the line. Any thoughts?
Vestar is a good brand also, their boars with decent speed and excellent range.
Great video! Would you have a look at the Verreal RS and the Vestar Black Hawk? I wish the Ownboard AT boards would have the possibility of using real street wheels.
Verreal RS should be good but going with the full length aluminium enclosure is gonna make the board vibrates like a metal plate. I had the old AEBOARD AE1 that does the similar set-up and it really can be a dealbreaker.
Ownboard AT's doesn't have enough height clearance for street wheels. It's already sanding it's bottom with the cloudwheels on. You can probably get 107mm superfly on if you top mount the deck and put a riser to it, but that will be kinda pointless lol.
@@ElectricSkateboardHQ Thank you
Just ordered a Meepo V3
how is it?
"it all comes down to personal preference", soooooo price, huh? 😋 (And everytime he says "respectively" you have to take a shot!)
Thinking of getting Wowgo3 or Wowgo2s. Noting that I am on a budget. Which is best value for money??
I am trying to decide between the Verreal F1-$340 and Apsubaord V3 - 320
What Is wrong with New Koowheel d3m? i was ready to buy it :/
Just ordered the backfire G3 for Black Friday, free shipping, came out to $560 I’d say that’s great for what it originally is :P
Love that V3 mention! For $429, I haven't been able to find anything that can come close to my Meepo V3. 31mph, 100mm wheels ($38, upgrade) and 10-15 mile range depending how you want to ride. Don't like the range? Add $200 and you're in the 20+ mile range with the extended range battery. Personally, standard has been great for me and I've gotten over 10 miles on it many times. Got 415+ miles on it and it's been flawless, literally not one issue.
Thanks for sharing! I think Meepo V3 is a great one, but instead of adding $200 to get the ER I think most should just get NLS Pro at that point =P
I had a Lacroix Nazare, sold it and got a Lacroix Lonestar. Lonestar has a longer range and IMO has a better ride with the 8" wheels vs the Nazare 7" wheels
What about Baja Boards G4X? That monster eats off road trails!
i said the same thing !
and now they have the pantera i think it's an absolute beast
i have a bajaboard and came here wondering the sane thing
They weak &overpriced, never seen a baja board do anything impressive offroad
I said same I got the g4x
I've bought xiaomi Acton , saw your video and web page, cancelled the order and bought meepo mini 2 , just waiting to get it
how do you like it
they keep it in the shed next to the exercise bike mate
Wowgo 3 is $499 plus $25 off right now and a killer at that price. Best board out at that price
Good video
I starting at the bottom I bought a Raxor x longboard for 175 now I’m looking at a boosted mini x for 899 im not a fan of wearing safety gear I wouldn’t want anything faster than that
I have an electric skateboard before, and once I fell really bad on a downhill and the brake poorly works. So which one is easier for beginners and has less chance for an accident?
Meepo v3 has 100mm option which are a game changer for comfort and speed. You should of mentioned that. Especially as it's a top board away such a low price.
You mean self-upgrade as an option? Because I just check and it still only offers 90mm as stock option.
How long does the battery on the remote last in hours? Roughly?
I've never been on an electric skateboard, but I'm eyeing that WOWGO 3X.
I have it and for the price, it's great...does hit the 24mph and almost 14 miles on a charge...carves great too...go for it.
Joseph Sedotto how does it do on tougher ground? Like cracks in the sidewalk or older roads, not skate park smoothness
Well, the Wowgo 3X has everything I need and is only 710 USD after their discount code!
3x is the best choice as a result that i did the research for a week.
Good review. AWD GT only would go 31 mph on smooth pavement when I had it. Also on pro and expert mode the board rides by itself you can't stop on awd it stops only if u hold the breaks then rides 3 or 4 mph by itself with not clicking anything. Tho I still have my Meepo Nls Pro which is beyond amazing and exceeds that speed. I hit 32 mph on flat pavement with nls pro. Not sure why tho that the stats were off either way Meepo is amazing
Thanks for the input, curious what is your weight thou? And the braking part... you sure you didn't get a faulty unit?
@@ElectricSkateboardHQ yeah the AWD GT seemed wired from the first ride. I did feel like the torque was amazing tho once you get up there it just topped out at 31 mph. I weigh 149 lbs.
O.O so my question I wanted to ask you is the Meepo NLS PRO is listed for 29 mph. I bought the NLS PRO at 32 MPH listing before it got changed and it rides at 32 MPH I love this board thought about buying anotha 1 tho they changed the listing to 29mph not sure if they tweaked the board to go slowah or whattt though because they changed the board I wouldn't want to buy it if they did tweak it unless they just put it down to 29mph because ppl ova 200 lbs might not make it to 32 mph I am really not sure I think Meepo Should Address this because it is left unanswered on the website on what exactly happened
love his reviews. subscribe*
June 2020, comparing current prices....what is the best call? Wow go 3 or Backfire 2b?
The Ownboard W2 is technically a 499usd with the smaller battery option, so it could just barely fit into the budget board category 😅 Saying that, Im definitely for including it with the 9Ah battery, as the 4Ah option is a terrible idea unless you want to get like 5 miles of range 😄 Great vid regardless!
Oh it got a price cut! Lets see if thats permanent.
Electric Skateboard HQ I think so. Ive been looking to buy an eboar for around half a year now, and i check it now and then and it has stayed this price for the whole time 😄
Ive been seeing this company called Miles that also does electric bikes, is their board not good enough to compare to these ones?
How do I open battery pack on a Phoenix rider to in stall new trucks and mother wheels help
Is Maxfind a good brand I was thinking about getting the m4
Yes. I am using m2 for 2 years.
Is there any chance I may be able to do payments on one of your boards I am trying to get by day by day. Don't have to send it till paid off.
We need an update how much did you save? Did you stop saving?
What in looking for is a board that will deliver the best battery life and be as confortable as it can be while still staying on a budget. What would you recommend me? (Edit: Yes i would like to go fast too but if i would have to cut speed for battery and confort i would
is blitzart good? i’ve seen some of their boards and they give me a boosted vibe.
Ive had a blitzart before I got my v2. Remote connection and response is NOTHING compared to a boosted but for its price it was incredible. Better range and sound than a boosted. The boosteds are too loud but they are truly safer. But the blitzarts are good and their customer care is great
If i have a budget for it should i get the Lacroix Nazare or should i just get an Backfire Hammer?
BioBoards on the wAY whit the plutonium !!!!! time too rock w4 drive
What about the Mototech 1600w dirt board ? Does anyone have an opinion on this board ?
why did you said that backfire mini, is better than the meepo mini er ? , if meepo mini er have more speed and range? whats the difference? thanks my men
How about halo board, you did not mention it at all, while it is very good brand. I was waiting to see your comment about it. Or what do you think!
May I ask why the one wheel wasn’t included?
What about the Teamgee H20 or H20T ?
Ppl watching this guys video should really consider the HaloBoard Beast... GE ranked it the best electric skateboard of 2020.... its a carving bamboo board that comes stock with the 97 mm street wheels, can easily swap out them out with the 120 mm all terrain wheels.... I literally cruised for around 15 miles yesterday at the Virginia Beach oceanfront and I only used about half the boards battery, rated for 26 miles on charge. The board can cruise up to 32 miles per hour in Beast mode with the 120 mm wheels equipped, with the 97 mm wheels equipped in the same mode it will excel up to 28 mph. Bought it 3 weeks ago for $1275.
Here i was thinking that Evolve was the top of the line..... I See now how wrong i was... But I now i don't know what to get is it boosted or something Else??????
What would be the main consideration when deciding between a short and long board?
Preferences , you don’t want a board too long but not too short either
Are electric boards allowed up in Alaska?
