@@brandonrose8123 Yeah but Inboard M1 is not a budget board. It's quite expensive alone and thinking that you must get spare batteries to get a decent range, yeah it's really expensive.
I am almost tempted to get this for the integrated lighting system... and the kicktail...and the swap-able parts...and the app that I probably won't use
I just got my meepo mini and I'm loving it! I was able to get it in 7 days with fast shipping. I don't want to wait 40 days to get a board. But this wave looks sick!
Great review! I was very tenpted to get the Evolve Stoke, but after finding out about the Exway Wave and then seeing this review im sold! Definitely getting one! 🤘
Hey Daniel, just bought a new flex from exway and used your discount code combined with Ronnie's for a total $40usd off, thanks mate. Your videos are great, informative and fun.
In America it's so hard to ride Non-all terrain boards because of the terrible roads. But a board like this would be so awesome to have in a nicer country. You have some beautiful pavement there Daniel!
Float like a butterfly , sting like a wave is something I would alwayse say pretending that that it made sense. I disagree with a short boards being a less smooth ride on rough Terrain. What I always do with my regular skate is lift the front wheels and do Microhops and micro lifts over bumps and cracks. to conquer to terrain like that Cobblestone Road you better believe that I'll be hopping so fast that I'm basically levitating;) a over unexpected 1 ft wide potholes I've survived with this technique, shorter boards with tails make this much easier to accomplish. With longer boards that have no tell you can still just do the hop without the hip. Thank you so much for such an amazing badass detailed review! Steady As She Goes.
Nice industrial designs, love it. I’m also in Shanghai and use Lou board as my main transportation. Those ridiculous long heavy raining days leaves some scarves on me. Thank god the weather is better so that I can ride it everywhere now.
I was planning to get Ranger x2, But now after you review on wave I think it's definitely worth it to wait for exway Atlas because of exway innovations. Thanks man.
I'm a little torn. I ordered the Flex yesterday but six months from now when it finally arrives, I'm fearing Exway will release a 2.0 version with swappable batteries and the "party in the rear" lights. I hope Exway releases a direct drive kit. That would be sweeet!
I just bought it with cloudwheels because of your great recommodation. I am abt. 14 and really looking forward to this board. Of course with protective gear from TSG. Keep up the great work I am a big fan of you. 😁
If you're in the US and looking for a short board like this, but the power and range of a long board, I'd recommend the Build Kit Board Dual Motor. The thing is a beast.
Hey, thanks! Your reviews are no doubt next level and I love the detail that goes in to your editing. This one might just be my entry to electric. Thought about a larger one but I think my Tan Tien will have to do for bombing hills ;) Peace!
Finally a review of this board :). Totally agree with you, this is the best shortboard no question. idk why everyone else is still trying to use hubs on their shortboards...
Some of us are hub purists, not too fond of belts snapping and love the free-rolling ability that hub motors give. Road vibration does suck but it depends where you ride and how much flex your deck has.
1:21 Thank you so much for this video, 6ah battery specs confirmed! (I messaged them on facebook and sent emails but got no response after two days; these specific specs aren't listed anywhere on their website...)
it's too bad that the trucks are way too wide for a small bord. I'm longing for the day when you get a proper electrical slalom board. Or just a board like with say 120-150mm trucks as 50-degree baseplate. 45degre are downhill degrees nothing that you want a small cruiser.
nice video !! Thanks again mr Kwan !! the traveling option would be the only good reason to get this board in my opinion, be ready for the 2-3 months waiting for the shipping , Exway has been really really bad with shipping recently.
I'd love to have that, but I already have my Onewheel XR. Not the tiniest of boards to carry around, and much more expensive, but it's sooo comfortable.
Daniel mate, your videos are so so good. I'm actually envious of the boards and the video editing. You ever come to the UK we are going for a ride 😎 The wave literally held no interest for me until I watched this tbh.
Great video Daniel as always! Some comments on it: I don’t think that the battery is less water resistant if it is fully sealed like other exway batteries. Where is the ESC on this board? Is it integrated to the battery? If that’s the case, it would be more expensive to purchase every new set of battery because the ESC is integrated with it.
Love your videos man! Looking into getting an exway, it's going to be this one or maybe the Flex. Unsure at this point, but I'm sure I'll love whatever one I choose.
打你哦宽 lmao hahaha. For those of you who can't read chinese, in the title he wrote Daniel Kwan Reviews in Chinese, but his name is a play on sound that actually reads as "Beat you up Kwan Skateboard"....clever
No competition is a stretch, i feel like the evolve stoke is one of the better boards out there, but ofc, being a evolve product, the price is allso up there :3
Hmm this is or the revel board xr kit(again) for my secondary/cruiser/loaner board. I do like the smart features and integrated lights but also like the flexibility of using almost any board with the revel board kit.
Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to these products sir! Can I ask if you've had an opinion on the shark wheels electric skateboard? I'm sure u haven't got to test it but any early feelings towards its specs?
Amazing board! Can you also make a video to test the cloud wheels over little puddles since some of my friends told me that the cloud wheels may be more unstable than the original wheels on wet road. Thank you!
Damn I can’t choose anymore! TnT I am a total beginner with zero knowledge of skateboard or electric skateboard and your review on exway flex sold me haha. I like the exway hub since it require less maintenance bcs I really wouldn’t know how to “fix or adjust” a belt drive one 😂 then this came out and i am definitely intrigued and interested. This one is great bcs it’s more portable and its easy to just bring it into train station without looking too big but it won’t be as comfy as exway flex since the road from the train station to my university is definitely not smooth...and I’m afraid that i will fall lol I’m so confused as to which one I should buy now 🤣 maybe I should wait for more reviews before deciding.
Unless you have perfect roads, you definitely don't want a hub motor board XD Adjusting a belt drive just takes a few basic tools, and over time you will be thankful that you don't have to replace the whole drive-train when something breaks. As for falling - wear lots of safety gear until you get comfortable, after that stick with gloves and a helmet - imo it's the bare minimum you need to not have a serious injury if you fall.
@@rusinsr wait really?? I thought hub motor would be good on non-smooth road 😭 damn it!! I guess i need to read a bunch more reviews on this 😂 someone commented that the exway flexi deck is ideal for rough road bcs you won't feel the bumps in the road as much. That's what i meant by falling haha. I'm scared that if i buy an eboard with stiff deck and the second that it hits a non-smooth road, i will lose my balance way easily 🤣 don't worry, i will definitely be wearing protective gear! XD
This review is about 4 years old and neither exway or their competition has, feature for feature, put out a product that is as good or better. I did just pick up one of these in 2024 and it has less than 30 miles on it but only charges to 88%
Loved many of your reviews until you just said hubs were a mistake. The belt drive noise isn't good for some people. My Meepo Hubs give tons of torque and power, I'd never regret buying them.
What about the Backfire Mini as an Competitor? I ride this Board for half a year and I love it! There are some drawbacks (no protection on the back and the weak brakes in eco) but all in all this is a Great Board. Did you ride it?
Wow, that's impressive. How may km you ride in average week? And why didn't you buy more expensive/better board, it would be worth for you. And what kind of maintenance are you doing, how many parts did you replaced already?
@@infiniteoffset I just finally saw this after two years. yes, i'm still riding the board. I've replaced the controller (too many drops) and I had to replace the charging port. that's it. still riding strong :) i revisited this video because I'm moving back to canada and want to have a travel battery
It’s been 10 Months since you blessed us with this awesome video, now do you still think it’s the best short board on the market? I am wondering how you would compare it to the Hoy St Booger and the recent Miles Board ? Thanks in advance for your time to respond. Cheers !!!
I haven’t tried every short board of course but this is the eboard I use the most frequently by far. Not saying it’s for everyone but it’s great for my situation. Never tried Hoyt St Booger. Miles Phantom is more of a short longboard, ie., it is drop-down and has no kicktail. Kind of resembles a downhill board.

@@DanielKwan I just learned something about the phantom. Happy to hear that you are using the WAVE a lot. Thanks, I am appreciating EXWAY so much due to the insights you share on your ATLAS video. Cheers,and hope to meet you at US group ride.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for your video. I was going to go for the hub motors but then, I hear you said " If you bought the hub motors and realised the mistake it was...". Do you believe Belt driven is a better option ? Thanks
I also noticed the comment and was thinking the same... the problem is the maintenance... but Im more inclined to the belts... but I just want to know the specs on hub vs riot to make my final decision ^^
looks like the engineers decided to actually think during the design process, unlike most other e-skate companies
True, but most of them have been making gradual changes; things like larger battery packs and faster motors.
Boards are finally getting to the quality we all want and have the features we’ve all been asking for, love this board
And it's a budget one too!
Inboard M1 had all these features, and they were the first to do hub motors...too bad they're now defunct
@@brandonrose8123 Yeah but Inboard M1 is not a budget board. It's quite expensive alone and thinking that you must get spare batteries to get a decent range, yeah it's really expensive.
damn, might be time to jump the boosted ship for exway. Thanks.
An official endorsement by Jesus Christ himself.
Unfortunately boosted seems to have jumped ship themselves lol.
Is this board still good, or any upgrades been made? I seen it on Amazon
Yessssss I was waiting on this so long
Great video.loving the current theme !!
I am almost tempted to get this for the integrated lighting system... and the kicktail...and the swap-able parts...and the app that I probably won't use
Well the important part about the app is the adjustable acceleration settings and the odometer and such.
@@Cabry also firmware updates which is pretty important
lol trust me you're gonna use the app because there's software updates and adjustable acceleration curve tensity
You deserve way more subscribers. Your videos are the most thorough and enjoyable electric skateboard videos on RUclips. Awesome video Daniel!
This! ^
Just pre-ordered it, lets pray I receive it before July of 2021 👏🏻
Jad can I get one
When it's broken you wont have anyone to call
Haha you’re awesome man thanks for another great review. Love your humor and clean transitions/editing.
Damn you already are riding the wave and my flex hasn’t even arrived
That's because he lives in China
How long do you wait
I've been hesitating on getting a new eboard since i prefer short boards. Been hovering over exway flex for months, so glad I waited!
Have you enjoyed this board?
Thanks for the shout out man! Always love your videos! Love the Trist trucks! I wish they weren’t sold out I would get them for my other boards!
I just got my meepo mini and I'm loving it! I was able to get it in 7 days with fast shipping. I don't want to wait 40 days to get a board. But this wave looks sick!
Judas Blewit same here meepo mini is such a beast
@@SE_Tanks seriously so fun and the price is great to. I just looked up the wave and it's gonna be alot more.
Expat wave is already in production. Won’t take that long!
Great review! I was very tenpted to get the Evolve Stoke, but after finding out about the Exway Wave and then seeing this review im sold! Definitely getting one! 🤘
Love your reviews. They're always entertaining, great scenography. And there's no one explaining things better than you imo.
Exway is so innovative on many points. I don't understand why other brands and the DIY don't copy it.
Hey Daniel, just bought a new flex from exway and used your discount code combined with Ronnie's for a total $40usd off, thanks mate. Your videos are great, informative and fun.
How long did you wait for it to arrive?
@@emm4558 About 3 weeks, from China to Australia. Worth the wait, great board.
Wow the swappable battery system on this is exactly what I've been wanting
You seen the one on Revel Drive's kit? Uses 4-6ah swappable batteries too and uses direct-drive motors.
In America it's so hard to ride Non-all terrain boards because of the terrible roads. But a board like this would be so awesome to have in a nicer country. You have some beautiful pavement there Daniel!
Literally just destroyed my board on American roads
Float like a butterfly , sting like a wave is something I would alwayse say pretending that that it made sense. I disagree with a short boards being a less smooth ride on rough Terrain. What I always do with my regular skate is lift the front wheels and do Microhops and micro lifts over bumps and cracks. to conquer to terrain like that Cobblestone Road you better believe that I'll be hopping so fast that I'm basically levitating;) a over unexpected 1 ft wide potholes I've survived with this technique, shorter boards with tails make this much easier to accomplish. With longer boards that have no tell you can still just do the hop without the hip. Thank you so much for such an amazing badass detailed review! Steady As She Goes.
Just bought mine yesterday used the code thanks bro I’ll keep y’all updated on it.
Nice industrial designs, love it. I’m also in Shanghai and use Lou board as my main transportation. Those ridiculous long heavy raining days leaves some scarves on me. Thank god the weather is better so that I can ride it everywhere now.
I love how dkwan puts so much effort into videos
He should test the wave with all terrain wheels🤣 that would be a great vid.
Yes!
I was planning to get Ranger x2, But now after you review on wave I think it's definitely worth it to wait for exway Atlas because of exway innovations.
Thanks man.
Editing perfect as always :)
wow amazing. Thanks Daniel, I bought an Wowgo 3X because of your recomendation, and have loved it from day 1.
I'm a little torn. I ordered the Flex yesterday but six months from now when it finally arrives, I'm fearing Exway will release a 2.0 version with swappable batteries and the "party in the rear" lights. I hope Exway releases a direct drive kit. That would be sweeet!
im going to be pissed if they release a new board before i get my Flex i ordered 2 months ago
@@blank3406 been waiting 3 months. Im not even sure if ill even get it anymore
Wow looks like Exway really nailed it with this one. Thanks for the sick review!
The burn of the Evolve review 😂😂😂 that was a nice touch

OMG that is mee 😂
Great review Danniel thanks for your work. Btw I love your color grading, very much on point
NIIICE video man, I can see the board bringing a lot of people into ESK8 which is a win for everybody.
Love the jab on Evolve 😉. Great video Daniel!
love to see a comparison to the miles phantom
If you're in the US and looking for a short board like this, but the power and range of a long board, I'd recommend the Build Kit Board Dual Motor. The thing is a beast.
I really hope you get paid by Exway for this detailed well documented review
The wave is amazing
Great video! I can’t wait!
You got me sold on the lighting!!
Ok I’m definitely getting this board... As soon as I can afford it. Great review btw! 👍

Cool thanks for the updates. Stay safe.
I just ordered this board! Can’t wait to shred on it
have you receieve it yet? I just order mine a couple days and was wondering what shipping times are
@@ye11owb0y21 they've delayed it to mid june, unfortunately. they said the board is in super high demand. i ordered in near the end of april
I think I am going to get this instead of the flex riot. I love the idea of traveling with this and the battery interchangeable both sold me!
Finally a review of this board :). Totally agree with you, this is the best shortboard no question. idk why everyone else is still trying to use hubs on their shortboards...
cuz $370 for meepo mini is within budget of many people
Some of us are hub purists, not too fond of belts snapping and love the free-rolling ability that hub motors give. Road vibration does suck but it depends where you ride and how much flex your deck has.
Seems like more and more RUclips reviewers are getting this board hopefully that means it will be out soon! Great video review

Good call out on the available standing width being the same as a longboard while being physically shorter.
Yes this is review, love this board
I'd love to have that, but I already have my Onewheel XR. Not the tiniest of boards to carry around, and much more expensive, but it's sooo comfortable.

Probably the same price as the Flex model or slightly more.

Hi all,
A noob question here, can the exway wave brake light be turned off? I'd rather not draw the attention to myself.
Yea my thoughts also
Finally! I think the rear light need more extra brightness to it..
can you do an incline test?
It looks awesome!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for an entertaining review :)
