I'm new to electric boards I have 3 longboards I've never had trucks bigger then the ones on the zealot I dont want cloud wheels cause I want maximum range and bending over to to turn the board on won't kill me I use to work 12 hour shifts in a warehouse slaving so that definitely not gonna kill me the zealot is perfect for me I coulda got the s but I needed a lil extra money for a helemt knee pads the wrist guard things cause I dont wanna risk taking a dive without those
@@DruMarr the zealot S is definitely worth the extra $150 because of the bigger motor, purple light and u can turn the board on by a click of the button
the zealot comes with abec pullies standard and kegal pullies in the box. so u can use them to use ur meepo 110 wheels, the same pullies that r on the 96mm wheels will fit the cloudwheels. those black abec wheels should fit too. i dont recommend 120mm clouds on the zealot tho. takes away too much power and agility.. but thats all personal preference.. as always, great polished video bro 👏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
You have to buy the pulley kit for the zealot to use cloudwheels. But If you buy antwheels the standard abec pulleys for the zealot fit right in. Personally I prefer the antwheels to clouds
You can use both kegel and abec style wheels on the zealot which means a lot of choices. Original pulleys work for abec and you get pulleys for kegel in the box.
@@DruMarr I have the h20 mini and meepo mini ER, I am looking at that phantom, the sex panther or hurricane, I've watched your vid on the hurricane but now the zealot is cheaper and still pretty decent
@@curiousbacon5573 the difference in power between the zealot and hurricane is truly insane, the hurricane definitely is in a completely different category. If you want to save time and money and buy the last electric skateboard you’ll ever need, then go for the hurricane. Jumping from hub motors to belt drive cloud wheels is cool, but once you go pneumatic you won’t go back, at least that’s how it was for me lol, good luck :)
I would go with the Zealot between the two, but you do have to keep in mind that it's not really within the same price category. To compare with the Zealot, something like the WowGo2S Max with their cloudwheels would be a better comparison, with only a $50 difference. In this case, I would go with the 2SMax any day.
100% the Backfire Zealot. I own both the Meepo V4 (regular) and the Backfire Zealot and the Backfire Zealot wins in EVERY category, even if range wasn't accounted for. You feel every vibration with the Meepo because of the hub motors and you can't even try to make it better by switching wheels bc it's hub and bc Meepo glues on their PU sleeves to their hubs. I got the Backfire Zealot in response to how disappointed I was by the Meepo and it is an amazing board. Please do not get the Meepo V4 when there is an option to get the Backfire Zealot
My fasted hub board is between the V4 and the 2s max. I don’t know the true acceleration of the 2s max because I’ve only use it with the cloud wheels, so if I throw the 90mm wheels on there I think it’ll be really good torque. How would it be compared to the zealot? Close but I believe the zealot will win, I’ll see if I can get the chance to test it off camera ;)
@@DruMarr Honestly just curious where the power band is on the Zealot. I am very familiar with the V4 but have never seen a zealot in real life. Which is better off the line or from a roll. I think the V4 will have a higher top speed.
i’m deciding between the zealot and zealot s… this will be my second electric longboard but my first belt driven instead of hub.. i’ve been comparing the two for about a week now and i don’t really think 200W stronger engine is worth the $150.. seeing as that’s the only difference i care about (the 2 extra miles won’t affect me, purple instead of white i could care less, and i already push the botton of my current board so that doesn’t matter to me in the slightest) any input or info i’m missing would be appreciated.. -it’s gonna be used as a commuter to work, replacing my current halo board-
Zealot S has the auto start when you push the button on the remote and the deck is made out of a different material, other than that all the upgrades are pretty minor like you said. I would save the money and go zealot and treat yourself to some cloud wheels while you’re at it ;)
@Dru marr Hello I am thinking of purchasing my first electric longboard and have narrowed it down to the Backfire zealot S or the WowGoAT2, the only thing I'm uncertain about is the range, I know that the WowGo advertises an 18 mile range but since I havnt ridden one before I'm wondering how long ride time that translates to? for how many minutes can u ride it before battery zagg kicks in?
Yeah expect 10-14 mile range for AT2 but my AT2 were one of the first ones to come out so the range for mine is more, sag kicks in like a quarter mile before it’s dead really so pretty good
Hey Man, I want to get a electric skateboard with hub motors and a brice of $517 USD I am debating on the Meepo V4 er or the Wowgo 2s max with the honeycomb wheels, I also live in quite a hilly area so I need a fair bit of torque the board. What can you recommend for me
Both board have about equal torque, ( I have videos on both) but if you use the bigger 105 wheels you’ll feel less acceleration, but at least you CAN switch to 105, so in my opinion the Wowgo wins in comfort, the review is on my channel
backfire zealot s has been out for a while and has the features that the zealot lacks such as wider trucks, a bit more range, and turn on via remote
Yes 100%, it’s weird to have both models but if the extra $100 is worth it I’d go for it

Love the design of that remote, better than my Meepo Hurricane, and the built in lights are huge for night time riders.
It’s just so good
The video quality is insane!
thank you fam
thanks for making this video man, I've bean waiting for it.
More to come!
the zealot comes with abec pullies standard and kegal pullies in the box. so u can use them to use ur meepo 110 wheels, the same pullies that r on the 96mm wheels will fit the cloudwheels. those black abec wheels should fit too. i dont recommend 120mm
clouds on the zealot tho. takes away too much power and agility.. but thats all personal preference.. as always, great polished video bro 👏🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Maybe 105mm clouds would be good, but my 120s dont fit on their abec core, if I try it I’ll see if it sucks lol
Well made... You are right, the community does need a new Zealot. I was hoping this was a surprise attack on a new one.
Thank you! Hopefully I can review the zealot s
You have to buy the pulley kit for the zealot to use cloudwheels. But If you buy antwheels the standard abec pulleys for the zealot fit right in. Personally I prefer the antwheels to clouds
Love the intro video. Awesome cinematic scenes!! Fantastic review over all my man!!
Appreciate thank you 🙏🏽
Keep up on the amazing work 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you fam ✊🏽

The Zealot S is arguably the best budget board on the market... worth the extra $150
💯
Great video! makes no sense why you do not have way more subs already
Good question lol
Just bought this board and I love it!! Good info thank you!
Hope you enjoy it!
has it broken down at all? have you had to replace anything?
So are the current regular zealot board come.with the auto on feature or its for the S model and up
Aww dude every time I make my mind up about a certain board to purchase, you change my mind haha nice upload 👌
Lol! What boards are you looking at? Hopefully i can give you some insight on a good purchase
@@DruMarr i am thinking to buy my first esk8
I am confused between backfire zealot s, meepo and exway either x1 pro max or flex…

That push-to-start feature is mainly due to older Ling-Yi ESC's.
But only the zealot S has the smart turn on, but the old zealot hasn’t been refreshed
Does someone know if the zealot uses standard bearings or special backfire sized ones? Thx
Some sick editing
My newest looks better 😮💨
I think the electric 🛹 is just ok but this guy making the video is killing it, and he's cute!
Hopefully we’ll meet one day ;) thank you
How many miles do these belts get before they break?
insane quality.
Favorite youtubers
awesome review
Appreciate it wolf 🤟🏽
Amazing content
DUUUVAL!!!!!!
Should I buy the backfire Zealot or the Meepo V4 Shuffle ER both fit within my price range

100% zealot, you can’t easily upgrade to cloud wheels with V4, and zealot accelerates faster and better ride feel
@@DruMarr would it be worth the extra money to get the zealot S.
Beautiful
I am curious to see a VS with this and your fastest Hub board.
My fasted hub board is between the V4 and the 2s max.
I don’t know the true acceleration of the 2s max because I’ve only use it with the cloud wheels, so if I throw the 90mm wheels on there I think it’ll be really good torque. How would it be compared to the zealot? Close but I believe the zealot will win, I’ll see if I can get the chance to test it off camera ;)
@@DruMarr Honestly just curious where the power band is on the Zealot. I am very familiar with the V4 but have never seen a zealot in real life. Which is better off the line or from a roll. I think the V4 will have a higher top speed.
does this board last though... i had the wowgo 3x and after 3 months I had to replace almost evevrything on the baord
Yes, backfire parts are made in the USA, and they’re customer support can help you with any problems you have
i’m deciding between the zealot and zealot s… this will be my second electric longboard but my first belt driven instead of hub.. i’ve been comparing the two for about a week now and i don’t really think 200W stronger engine is worth the $150.. seeing as that’s the only difference i care about (the 2 extra miles won’t affect me, purple instead of white i could care less, and i already push the botton of my current board so that doesn’t matter to me in the slightest) any input or info i’m missing would be appreciated..

Which board u will preffer
Meepo V4 vs backfire zealot s vs EXWAY flex ????
Broooo
zealot is the way, exway flex has some annoying deck flares and the V4 is just hub

Bro why u didn't get the zealot s
That’s what they sent me fam
Oh ok I thought u bought it lol I was bouta say the better buy the s
We need higher range on every Backfire board. Otherwise they're perfect.
That’s true, wish it had a little more

OK
Yes :)
