I upgraded from an Evolve Bamboo S1 GTR to the Bamboo Hurricane. Worth the upgrade, although one thing I've seen so many people say about the bushings is that they are terrible, and after riding with the stock bushings, I can see what everybody meant. Bought some Independant 90A bushings so hopefully the carves should feel better.
I’ve ridden a DKP Meepo Hurricane Carbon for almost 2 years now and I absolutely love it. I’m currently on 200mm pneumatics running a 66T pulley and 360 belts and it absolutely eats hills and rips. I’ll never go back to polys or hybrids. I do a lot of off-road riding and live in an area with a lot of steep hills. This is definitely the setup for me.
@@NeobeesI think I mentioned in the video the board is ip67 water resistant. But riding in the wet isn’t a good idea as if water gets in the battery it could become a fire hazard
@ASeSkater i feel for uk esk8 reviewers! Yeah I figured you did some on your london trip. Glad you worked brum in there though cus I love your brum locations.
Good video mate, didn't know you were in town or I'd have rode over. I'm itching to pick up a new board, kind of hoping Propel will bring out an endeavour in aluminium. I'm curious to see what Evolve are doing with their new mountain board, would love to give that a go. - Miles aka libC
Cheers Miles. I'll have to let you know when I'm next in your neck of the woods. That evolve mountainboard looks interesting, especially as the battery isn't top mounted! Wouldn't knock it completely before I tried it though
Excellent review man! I don't really believe in brand loyalty but I've gone through 3 different models from Meepo and they have all been great. They design them with great care no doubt. ^_^
The Ninja is a beautiful board but you can get the Propel GT right now for 999.00 through Black Friday. That's a heck of a deal and 200.00 cheaper than the Ninja.
you can get the ninja only $100 more ( they have a black friday sell going still) new i went refurbished and got the bamboo hurricane for 899 free 4-5 day estimate of shipping just waiting on them to send it out for shipping as i ordered yesterday on Saturday
distance would have been more without carving ive tested this with my board (a teemo board ive bought the hurricane yesterday waiting on it ofc) i got 5 extra miles without carving in galvaston vs carving 90% the way i still carve tho i love it but that does impact more then you think
@@ASeSkater i completely understand i do the same your test is more realistic as most esk8s carve and dont just ride a line i norm only will if i skate to work for the range
The ESC on the Hurrican can draw 55A from the pack. At nominal voltage of 44.4V you're looking at 2444W peak power before battery sag and resistive losses. Isn't there anything more interesting about the board but the max potential power spec on the motors?
Why not lead with that instead? Otherwise you're propagating a misleading myth that motor power spec has anything to do with actual power. Teach your community to know what's right so they know what to demand from the manufacturers. In the end we all get a better product that way!@@ASeSkater
@@RudeWolfy thanks for your input. It’s appreciated. Technically speaking the motors are dual 3500w. Though the output the esc will facilitate will be below that, in real terms the board is still very powerful under the feet and that is all that the average consumer will be fussed about I feel. It might be a point however to raise directly with manufacturers, to lead their motor specs on what can be generated from the esc and pack
@@ASeSkaterTbf when you have Meepo marketing 7000w motors and Hoyt marketing similar with Meepo’s esc running 55a and Hoyt’s albeit VESC based 190a that 7000w number is worth addressing more technically because that Hurricane isn’t performing anywhere near where a Tabor is.
It’s a good board. I own one and it’s great for the money. It’s built like a tank, feels great and is fast. However. I do think 55amp is very disappointing. It should be 70amp minimum, but ideally 100amp on a board this size and weight. I feel like meepo are being a bit sneaky. Make more use of those huge motors and give you a more aggressive ride. After riding my Dads Hadean, it feels quite soft when it comes to acceleration.
13min video and only about 1-2mins of your personal insight in what it's like to ride. Would have loved to hear more what you thought about bushings, less specs that I can read on the website. Definitely got potential to be a great reviewer though
Please Ammar, we have to get the motor effect down more clearly. The wattage of the motors tells us what the motor COULD give and even more so take. They could give this power but will be limited by the battery, BMS and motor controller. Saying is a board is powerful based on the wattage of the motors is something the companies want you to do since it is easy to supply. Not saying this boards is not powerful.
Love my hurricane ninja. Just a bit disappointed it now uses a 50amp ESC. That’s way underpowered for the kind of board it is. Don’t get me wrong it’s fast and certainly powerful enough. But it just does not have the monstrous kick my dad’s Evolve Hadean has. The hurricane should come with a 70amp ESC MINIMUM.
@@ryank2780 yeah I think you can, you’d need a custom ESC. Not sure how to do it myself, but might look into it one day. It would make the board twice as powerful, the motors aren’t getting anywhere near the power they could get.
Idk about local laws there but suppose it could be argued that the motors being rated for 7kw doesn’t mean the for the most part 2kw board is hitting crazy numbers like that anyway. In Queensland, Australia where I’m from our local laws were anything over 250w was illegal a few years ago, now it’s a speed based system instead so 25kph on bike paths, 12kph on footpaths/share paths unless signed otherwise (I know 12kph is less than ideal but in heavy foot traffic zones fair enough.)
@@ajplant96 the law here, as far as i know, is 250 watts, ebikes only. literally everything else is illegal. onewheels. skateboards. scooters. 500watt ebikes. you name it. it's only because our local police here don't give a fuck and accept that the law is stupid that i can ride my onewheel.
Hi. Could you please help me decide. I want to my my first electric skateboard. I'm in between the Meepo Ninja hurricane bamboo and the Acedeck Nomad N1 gear drive all terrain. I dont want to spend more than $ 1.200. im 200 lbs. Witch one you think is better? Thanks
Just ordered one after watching your London ride. I hope all goes well since there's no refund 😅. Any recommendations or mods to improve the board? I am a newbie and this is gunna be my first board super excited!

Having the board hanging over the water was giving me serious anxiety Nice review though, board looks great 👍
Thanks Tim! You aren’t the only one 😂 it didn’t even look as cool as I imagined so probably wasn’t worth the risk lol
@@ASeSkater raining days ☔🌧️ no problem???... My ONSRA blackcarve stop Today... Water infiltration 😭
@@Neobees oh no that sucks. I hope Onsra help you out as a good will gesture

The b-roll shots in this video 🔥🔥🔥
If that board went into the drink at least it was recorded man 😂😂🙃😅
Great review my dude👊🏽🤙🏽
Haha thanks Mark! Was holding my breath the whole time 😂
So jealous of your 24 degree weather. My next vid is the Z-S2 but it's been raining for a week! Nice video as always 🤟🤟
Thanks man! This was actually (partly) shot weeks ago and only just edited! I have the same rain problem as you now 😄

Good point. Yea can get more with carving. Personally I carve a lot and wanted my range test to be realistic so I didn’t change my style

Power + comfort + modularity + doesn’t break the bank

What if someone randomly beats you and steals your kool pad….😅😅
Yes it's a wonderful board by Evolve, oops, I mean Meepo.
They literally just put out their own Chinese clone of Trampa, Kaly, Lacroix, Raldey, Lorentz, Onsra and so on. It’s not that deep.
Onsra, Evolve, are you listening? Screw your crappy boards, there's a new sheriff in town.
