- Ok, well the board broke. Things happen, I understand that. Bearings fail, crap happens. As you can see in the video Wowgo started out nice about it. Asking me what happened, asking if I was hurt, and calling me friend in the emails. Then they asked me to send them a list of damaged parts. This is where it went south. If you ask me what parts are damaged, I am going to tell you all of them. Small damage or large, I included a list of damaged parts.
2 Wheels
2 outer bearings
2 inner bearings
1 pully
2 outer washers
2 inner washers
2 lock nuts
Well, as you can see in the video after that the conversation changed.
This is not the only problem with the board. I have decided not to pay Wowgo $40. I will be replacing the parts on my own and will continue the review. Spoiler alert, it is not looking good.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It does suck to have your board broke. I bought 4 year old Evolve board and Evolve are nice in providing support. When I broke my remote and found that I cannot get a replacement anywhere; I asked if they have a broken one that I can scrounge for parts, they did just that and only charge me $5 ish for shipping. I think it’s safer to buy from a company that have local support. We do save a lot of money buying over seas but when something goes wrong, getting help is difficult.
Well said! Thanks for sharing your experience
Hello, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. The shipping fee we asked is for the fast shipping, it will be shipped by air. Airfreight has risen sharply due to the virus, so we adjust the shipping fee accordingly. If you choose the standard shipping, it will be another price.
We will offer you a pair of wheels and the accessories that you need.
And as for the problem at 6:58, the wobble is normal, when you put a whole set of things on it, that won't wobble.
My colleague will send an email to you and tell you more details. Please check. Once more, We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
WowGo I’m impressed. I’m glad to see your company is reaching out, a lot of these e-skateboard companies are just shutting out their buyers, (unless they would like to buy more) after they’ve made the sale. I just bought my own WowGo 3 from you guys on May 27 as kind of a birthday present for myself. I know because of Covid it will take a little while to get all the way here in Canada. But I can’t wait to go for a test-ride and use it for everyday commuting.
They did reach out and try to make it right. But at that point I had already bought the parts locally.
Customer support really shows what a company is made of.
Why are there hairline cracks in the wheel core?
@@Ramatorix Hope they did still send you the part nevertheless... It's just a principle...!
Hi, So sad to hear such bad news. I've just ordered wowgo 3. Hope I won't need to test wowgo warranty. Wish you good luck with solving your issue!
Same bro on the 27th, really want it to work smoothly
Hi guy. We will do our best to offer the best service for you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Never mess with Wowgo. Most difficult company to deal with. They'll kiss your ass as you buy the product, but as soon as you need something. They will dick you around until your shit is over as far as warranty. This goes for Meepo. Hell all of them are horrible. China market is not so good here in USA. This is why every one loved Boosted. They did a great PR job always.
Man where were you before I bought a wowgo lol. Thanks for the comment and your experience! Take care.
@@Ramatorix I just saw your new wheels on the board. Dude. I wouldn't deal with a company that treats customers like shit. Period. You have a good deck. And ok trucks. You could just build a bad ass board using their deck. Get some Caliber 2 trucks, bigger better motors and have a blast. Oh and motor mounts can be had off ebay, Amazon, or any company that does belt drives for e boards. I'm in the process of doing that to this Backfire G3 plus. Yeah. Battery went to shit inside of a 2 month period. Who woulda ever thought. But shit happens. Now a motor is going bad. Time to just build it like the 6 million dollar man. Make it stronger, faster, better. Lol. You know what I mean.
Bruh. Have a good time with them wheels. And if the board gives you anymore issues. Build it to the way you want it. Waste of time on these Chinese warranties.
Dam I'm sorry this happened to you. I just got my Wowgo3x on May 15 2020 and I'm at the 129 miles point. No issues just rattling sound from something probably loose. I used some locktite but the sounds is still there. Performance is not affected though. I already ordered New 97mm wheels and bearings. I will keep what you said in mind about the bearings. My next board will be a Backfire Zealot and Backfire has a service shop in LA so I don't have to deal with China drama. I would suggest throwing away the wowgo3x wheels away and get new wheels and bearings. That should do it. hope you get your board up and running. Stay safe bro.
I have been wondering myself for a long time now what has been the reason for this, and my board one of the motors is a little bit loose. Nothing much, just a bit. And I am afraid that it is just going to get worse. Please reply if you find out something. :)
@@manmanbig8380hey there. I fixed most of the rattling noise. What I did was I installed the new belts and the sound disappeared. The motor still has a low rattling sounds but nothing like it was earlier. I'm convinced it's just normal wear and tear of the belt motors. You can try tightening screws with locktite and installing the the Xtra pair of belts that came with the wowgo3x. This will get rid of most noises. I guess the belts that came with my board were loud and a little worn. Good luck 👍
Omg 129 miles in 15 days on a electric skateboard 🛹
I'm in the same boat for a hub motor. Good to hear their hub motors are as sturdy as their belt system. Looks like a design flaw, not surprised. Hub motor is 70 bucks for a new one and they hit me with the 30 dollar donation for shipping. Here is what he said after troubleshooting. According to the warranty policy, we can send you a motor for free parts, you only need to pay the shipping fee of $30 US dollars. Could be just me but sounds like he will send me a used or not functional motor, for free parts. this is the second hub motor from wowgo in a year that failed with the same issue. I fixed two solder points on the other motor and it still didn't fix it. My Meepo AWD Pro exploded a ring clip inside the hub, probably due to overheating the part, and I explained to meepo that I essentially voided my warranty to have a look at the hub explaining that a ring clip exploded and if they could send me another clip or tell me the size. Within two or three emails they sent me a entire hub free of charge and it got here quick. Matter of fact I am still waiting for my other hub from wowgo which I purchased a month and a half ago which just got its second tracking number yesterday. Unfortunately their tracking site is in mandarin so it is useless to me. Its sounds strange but I should have just purchased another meepo awdpro for another hundred dollars rather than the wowgo3. It's just as slow and unreliable as my wowgo2. Boooooooooo
Ya, sorry you had a bad experience also. I am so glad I went with a better company with my second board. It has been such a better experience. Not to mention how much nicer the board is. Glad meepo took care of you.
I just happened to watch this old vid. I'm shocked to see a "Zealous" bearing fail in this way. I use them almost exclusively on all 5 of my boards I've never had an issue, they're always very smooth & roll forever. One of their best features besides being inexpensive & durable is the built in spacers & speed rings, although I usually use extra speed rings(washers). Not sure I can fault Wowgo on this one unless they somehow installed them incorrectly(not sure how they could've done that) or severely over-tightened the rear wheels? Which is what I suspect they did.
It was not the bearings fault. Wowgo only used 1 bearing in the wheel which caused side pressure on the bearing. That said pressure cause the bearing to fail. Because of the pulley desgin I can not run 2 bearings. It is a desgin flaw with wowgo.
@@Ramatorix Holy crap, that is a serious issue. Glad I never bought A Wowgo. Thanks for the clarification. 👍
Hello, you or wowgo forgot the second bearing for the rear wheel, should be two bearings in the rear wheels as well plus the one in the pulley. Charging extra för sending boards these days with a fixed sum is fine given the very high prices of air shipping but of course not the same if you just send a few bearings. Mind you, problem is because the rear wheels had only one bearing installed.
Scariest thing when that happens! My evolve carbon gt trucks have failed in the same way...
I got lucky on this one. I was not going fast and was on a trail.
@@Ramatorix that's the reason I don't travel faster than 15-20 kmhr. I have it in the back of my mind his is a possibility. No use taking to the board maker with an injury t that point.
when i cancelled my order, they gave me a LOT of problems. i had to get my credit card company involved to smack them up. they responded with friendly words too and acted like its all good lol.
I bought a wowgo 3 when they first came out and they advertised it with an 8 amp hour battery, but when I got mine it was a 6 amp hour and they completely did the same thing to me except they wanted me to send them like 400$ through that same donation system with no receipt for the correct battery 🤗🤗🤗 does it look like I have dumbass written across my forehead?!?
Dang, 400, hell no. That's crazy. I am so glad I went with and onsra now. I rode the wowgo the other day and it is now after owning the onsra I don't even like to ride it
@@Ramatorix yeah the wowgo3 that I got was a good first beginner board but honestly after that nightmare of customer service I ended up ordering a metro board X
Same thing happened to me. I got a wowgo 2s and it came with a defective battery and when I asked for a replacement they made me do a bunch of tests, buy a voltmeter which is 20-30$ here and then told me I had to spend 70$ for shipping to ship the defective parts. This company is so shady but lesson learned.
Same, learned my lesson will never buy another board from them.
I was thinking of purchasing the wowgo 3x and wanted to know if you could give me some insight on the company’s service. I know that you posted your experience with them but I wanted to know if I could trust them.
@@jaeminkim5602 absolutely not. I loved their board and everything about it but their service is horrible. Yes the wowgo3x is a cheap and amazing looking board with great comfortability from what I hear but the chance of you receiving a faulty or bad board and then just havin to throw all that money down the drain is very high since they have close to no post purchase service. Up to you but I’m sticking to backfire
I got the wowgo 3x about 2 months ago. And i have no problems with it, but i got a sound like a loose skrew on the back right wheel. I don’t know What is it, but it have not effected the ride or the board. And after watching ur vid I am very scared it’s going to break. I bought my board on Esk8europe.com. And if i would recommend a buying a board it’s there. He has very Good customer service and very Nice guy. His YT is Fabi. Great vid!:-D Keep up the Good work!
If I was looking for a new board WowGo just wouldn't be on my list after watching all your videos and reading all the comments. Too many issues with these boards. It s beyond bad luck by now.
At least buy it on your credit card so you have some levarage if you really must.
I thought it was just my board but seeing all the comments it turns out a bunch of people had issues with the board and the warranty.
Well fuck, I just bought one yesterday and see this today.
So right out of the box locktight the grub screws and make sure your wheels have 2 bearings in them. Good luck. Let me know if you have questions
i almost ordered wowgo at2 few days ago. when i was at shipping it was 130$. i asked them how come you dont have your best board in eu warehouse and received such a stupid response i couldnt believe what i see.. 130$ just for shipping seems too much. now i m happy i didn t purchase that board because Backfire has 20$ shipping costs for eu and customer service is awesome. 3x and Zealot are two different worlds as i see.. i m sorry you had this situation
No worries bud. Because of this board it fueled me to make this channel. Live and learn lol. Good luck with the new board! Let us know what you think.
Dont buy nothing online or out of your area. 130 for shipping is nothing. Try shipping a car wheel across the ocean
Ramatorix i think you are wrong about how the back bearing works. The bearing sits in the rear wheel and that wheel bearing combo stabilizes the fork thing.
Thanks for you comment. I might be wrong. But in the car world and everything i have researched on boards says that these bearings do not do well with side loads. When you tighten down the wheels nut without the spacers this puts a side load on the bearing. This causes the bearing to fail much faster. That is why on all skateboards you run a spacer between the bearings. To prevent a side load. But hey, if I am wrong then thats ok too. Take care and stay safe.
I would replace those bearings with bone reds.. they are awesome.. I've used my first set for 4 year's already
Wow, what a joke!!! It is shit like this that I vow not to ever buy
anything made or shipped from China. It’s an ordeal. Thank you for the video.
I tried to order yesterday (Saturday) for a friend because he doesn't have a PayPal account.(lol) To load the PPaccount up and getting the money from a friend could take a day or maybe 2(incl. getting the money Wired on my checking Account) So I thought I just use my Credit card. Thank god nothing worked! it directed me back to Papal every time. Also, the price changed by like 20€ (take a wild guess in whose favor)? Now seeing this video and reading the comments I'm very happy it didn't work out...lol
Ya, it is completely dead now. After 250 miles the battery died. I am not going to pay to fix it. I did not like this board. Check out my channel for boards i do recommend. Thanks for the comment
sorry sir.. the backwheel has 2 bearings.... both with a spacer facing the inside of the wheel just like in the front wheel it has 2 bearing in the wheel, but in the back you have a geawheel that is also one bearing....
Gilberto, thanks for the comment. I modified mine to run 2 bearings which put way less stress on the pulley bearing. Take care and stay safe.
This is why I don't fuk with cheap Chinese boards. DIY all the way for me.
I learned that with this board lol
Lol all your components are still coming from china are they not? Batteries and motors? Possibly belts and gear drive? Chipsets? At the end of the day what are you getting that is honestly made in the USA with youre DIY setup? Deck, Bearings, Trucks, and Wheels I guess...I would agree that you would be better off buying from a company based in the US but most of your electronics are still gonna be coming from China. The difference would be better customer service with a US based company...
40usd shopping xD. They told me my spare parts are free but i just have to pay 10usd for shipung
I think it is all dependent on what part it is, how much they charge for "shipping". One person commented they needed a new motor and it was $60 for shipping. Seems like they are compensating for the cost of the part but who knows. Glad yours were reasonable!
use this as an opportunity to get some larger wheels some clouds or the rubber ones w holes in em or even some boas 110mms...
and unfortunately nobody wants to replace anything for free now adays nobody stands behind their shit its actually very annoying
Ya, at about 200 miles the battery craped out. The board will only go about a mile before dieing. I have not touched this board since last year. I found better quality boards with double king pin trucks and never looked back lol.
The extra money is funny
Glad I didn't go for WowGo 3X. It seem to have so many issues with it since they are only using one bearing on the back wheels and pulleys that don't sit properly.
Yes, this board did not hold up. The board has about 300 miles on it and the battery is shot. I would not buy this board again.
@@Ramatorix Yeah that's really sucks. Sorry that you had bad experience with that board.
when you tighten the nut to much the wheels can have more resistance u want to tighten it so it has a tiny bit of wiggle room so u can move it a bit also just go buy spitfire bearings and you could get could wheels or boa wheels or go to ur local shop but they probably only have small wheels for boards that you can do tricks on
Thanks for the comment. With the correct bearings and spacers the wheel tightness would not have been an issue but I know what you are saying. This video is old, the wowgo is dead lol. The battery died. But i have much better boards now so not sweating it. Take care and stay safe.
Should've gotten a backfire. They've never charged me for shipping and have always.been good to me.
Just to confirm, each back wheel has 2 bearings same as the front and the adapter has a separate bearing?
So the way wowgo did this is the rear wheel has 1 bearing and the pulley has 1 bearing
Ramatorix eSk8 reviews I was thinking to order the AT2 they releasing but seems they get allot of things wrong. Like on the AT1 when the back truck was fixed and did not move. I will steer clear .
@@KK-ol5ov i will be honest, since that problem at 80 miles I have not had any more issues with the 3x. I now have almost 200 miles on it. I do not ride it much after recieving the onsra but it makes a good loaner board lol. Take care and good luck with whatever you decide.
Ramatorix eSk8 reviews thank you, I have heard good things about the onsra. Cheers
@@Ramatorix of course not. The wheel has 2 bearings the same way as the front... come on. Watch Kwan's "How to properly change wheels on an electric skateboard (for complete beginners)", I think you will get a better understanding how these bearings work.
Bruh this was your fault you washed the bearings out and didn't put any oil then probably took it out for a few runs not just one and broke both the bearings wowgo should have done anything for your bored
Bruh, I have never washed a set of bearings in my life. If you dont have 2 bearings and a spacer it created a side load on the bearing causing it to fail. Thanks for your comment though
how tall are you and weight if you dont mind me asking? two seasons ago when i bought my first meepo esk8 i weighed 265 and was def pushing the limits, now i am 205-210 and on a newer wowgo 3x belt driven board and i absolutely love this board... just hit a 100 miles and just tighten every couple of rides and havent had an issue... i think if u never clean the wheels or wipe down the bearing they gather dirt and fall apart i havent had a single issue knock on wood ( knock knock) i just noticed today actually and it scared me back home but the bolts holding the motor can onto the rear trucks look like they loosened up my worst fear is a huge failure or a wheel falls off or i lose the kingpin nut and everything sends me flying and rolling on the ground at 25mph... ive eaten it before doing 25 and it is not fun at all....
were you riding when this happened? and did u get tossed from the board or were u safely able to come to a stop?
and last question im sorry but do u periodically wipe and tighten up the nuts and bolts or is this your first time tightening and tuning up the board? reds has some banging bearings and get some of that speed lube it makes it so u can legit push kick and carry decent momentum or makes ur battery last much longer... also try losening up your belts a little bit, i noticed my board shipped with the belts super overtightened it would have done more harm than good if i left it as is and didnt repair it myself... anyways id love to know the details i fear the same thing now that i hit 100 miles on my wowgo3x... cheers,
-peter
Yes I do periodic maintenence on the boards and this happened with only 70 miles on the board. The issue was only one bearing in the wheel and no spacer. Caused a side load on the bearing and caused it to fail. But live and learn. I was ridding but did not get thrown from the board. I am 5'9" and weight 200lbs. This was my first board. I watched as many reviews as I could find before buying it. Everyone said how great of a board it was. After buying it I did not like it. So I decided to dedicate this channel to 100% honest reviews. So I guess it was a good thing I bought the wowgo.
Poor built quality. I’m happy I didn’t buy this shoddy workmanship, customer service is important.
Thanks for the comment. All boards will have a percentage that have issues. But your right, the customer service is what makes these companies stand apart. Take care and be safe.
Yup thats how they do it.
I was not a fan lol. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the review... Very detailed...
keep in mind, they're receiving your emails at 3am in their morning. I have no experience with Wowgo, but i have bought all my boards direct from China. My meepo mini hub motor developed a squeaky sound, I was concerned about the bearing so I reached out to meepo. They responded a day or so later requesting a video so they could assess the noise. 2 weeks later I had a new hub motor, shipping was $21.40. My second board (boundmotor) arrived with a damaged battery case, appeared as though the extra wheels came loose inside the box and became pinned below the board, crushing the case. I didn't ride the board, sent photos, then two weeks later I had a new battery case, shipping was around $23. So far my experiences have been great with dealing directly with overseas sellers so I'll continue to do so. For something like bearings, which is a consumable item, it's hard for anyone to really know if the failure was caused by user neglect, or manufacturing defect. Since both wheels were in a state of failure it kind of points to a lack of maintenance.
as a rule I swap out my bearings to a trusted brand right away and keep the ones that come with the wheels in a junk drawer. Not enough value is placed in the importance of good bearings.
I was told 3 months warranty. You should probably of said you got injured they might of been more keen to help.
Lol, no big deal. It made me buy an onsra and start this channel so I am glad it happened.
@@Ramatorix I got the wowgo 3 and I'm on 460 km so far. I love it now my son wants one! I can't afford thousands unfortunately but 38 kph is great fun!
@@daveatkin7557 that is awesome! I am glad it has been a good board for you and really happy your son is into the sport. I understand the cost. My fist onsra was bought with tax returns and I do all kinds of random jobs to buy my boards lol. The evolve was bought after about 2 months of turning wrenches on the side. I know where you are coming from. Best of luck to you and your son. Thanks for the comment!
Also I prefer hub as its very quiet and if I see police I slow down n push with my foot keeping remote in my pocket! Hopefully that way I can keep riding for a long time.
@@daveatkin7557 I see that argument. It is not illegal where I live so I like the torque of belt drive, i also weigh 200lbs lol.
Wow that's crap. What a major design flaw! that's recall material right there, who sells a board without a load-bearing spacer! the only time you'd get away with that is with a thrust bearing on a tapered shaft. Well done on getting to the bottom of the issue. Personally I'd take it to an engineering outfit, show them the issue and they will make a proper spacer plus they could fix the play with the first bearing by sorting the diameter of that shaft where its seated. No big deal for a competent engineer mate. Grab some decent bearings from a skate shop or something also, abec 7 or 9's maybe then take pictures of the modifications and the invoices and slap it back to wowgo proving how it should have been done the first time, suggesting they should reimburse you for R&d fixing their mistakes. Doubt they will but would feel good haha. Terrible behavior from Wowgo there. Good luck.
Not only did they not give me any money back but they tried to charge me $40 shipping on the new parts even though it was under warranty. I explained the problem at length, told them they need 2 wheel bearings and shorten the center of the pulley by 1 to 2 mm. They told me it was like that to reduce noise. Im over wowgo and their crap customer service. Its a loaner board now to get people into the sport. I have moved on to better quality and performing boards.
@@Ramatorix Absolutely mate, so far Fabi/Onsra is definitely demonstrating what a healthy business model should look like. Wowgo will fall away to the history pile with this attitude. Keep up great content ;)
Hello again, just curious about one more thing about the wowgo. A part from the bearings/wheels I think you said in a recent video that the board is now dead. What else has happened? I know how you feel about wowgo and I totally understand but the wowgo AT2 has got fantastic reviews by so many now also long term. Also has a felly deck and smart turn on, what is your take if you have seen any of these reviews? It is very cheap compared to others and many parts are kind of generic like trucks, battery and HW ESC. Thanks
First thanks so much for the questions. So my wowgo only keeps a charge for about 1 mile now. It says 100% then at about a mile it will drop to 60% then just shut off. I reached out to wowgo and told them about the issue and I believe I was right at the end of the warranty. They had me remove the battery and check the sticker for water exposure. The sticker indicated it was water damaged. This was crap because I never rode it in the wet and I live in a dry climate. So I decided not to put any more money in it. I have seen the AT2 but wont buy one because I have a bad taste with wowgo. I think like verreal, if you buy it knowing you will not get support and just replace anything with aftermarket parts then you will be fine. As far as the reviews thats what made me buy mine. All great and positive reviews. I had a different experience lol. Hope this helps
@@Ramatorix That type of scam was used a lot regarding damaged phones.. Bet it indicated water damage when it was new. I understand that puts you off wowgo. I do hear a lot of praise of exways support... I have had the Verreal RS, it was fine in most ways, did not like the rock hard deck much. Before I sold it I ordered a 45T pulley and belts for more torque, 8 weeks and I have not got them. You are one of the few that actually come back to a board with additional info after use, good and bad. I still think the wowgo AT2 may be a great board, I am sure many good people work hard at wowgo. One problem is that to sell their boards so cheaply they have to save a lot on support and warranty, also they take the cheapest shipping options to save money whereby it takes forever to get the boards. Cheers
@@jonassvensson1819 thanks for the comment! If you end up getting one let us know how you like it. For me I will steer clear for a while lol. I dont mind the stiff decks as long as they are bkp.
Could you take a closer look at those hairline cracks in the wheelcore? It looks like the problem some other wheels have like cloud wheels...Its defently not good if it is real cracks.
They are cracks but it was do to the bearing getting sooooo hot and melting into the wheel. Then I had to pound the race out with a punch and hammer which added to the damage. The damage to the wheels was 100% because of the bearings. The front wheels are just fine.
Shouldn't there be 2 bearings in the rear wheel?
Yep, but wowgo decided to put 1. They claimed it reduced noise . The side load is what cased it to fail
That's a serious fail.
@@eliocosaro360 agreed
Wow,that really sucks Bro.
Right and that was when it was almost brand new. I was mad. But he live and learn. I have been on that board for 5 min since the onsra lol. Its my loaner board now.
Well that's discouraging, I just ordered a WowGo AT
You might have better luck then me. I suggest you look at your battery for white stickers. They are stickers that indicate if the battery got wet. I started having problems with my battery and wanted to make a warranty claim. They told me to take pictures of these stickers. I took the battery out and the stickers were red. This was confusing to me because I have 300 miles on the board and never road it in the rain or wet. I also live in a very dry area. So make sure the stickers are white when you get it. Good luck and keep us posted how everything goes.
@@Ramatorix Interesting. Water shouldn't be an problem but I'll let you know if it has issues after awhile.
@@duskrider1724 i wish I would have looked at the battery when I first got the board. I have a suspicion that the stickers were red when I got it.
I love my wowgo.. but AVOID PUDDLES AT ALL COSTS.. dont wory you will love it
@@TheAaronuk10 I go very slow when I need to ride over puddles. But after 100 miles I haven't had any issues thankfully.
Dam if I saw my wheel past me i lose it
Please can you make a test? if 2 bearings are used inside the rear wheel, How many Spacers Or Speedrings to fill the gap between the wheel and the truck?
Very dangerous Situation!! my wowgo 3X is coming next week, Most important things to do:
1- Put a second zealous in the rear wheels
2- Put speedrings between the wheels and the poulie
on by boosted V2 there is one giant spacer on the rear truck
On my stealth the v3, the giant spacer is mold directly on the truck
Wowgo 3 doesn’t have this problems right???
I am not sure what you are asking? If it is hub then it wont have the pulley issue no. Thanks for the questions. Take care and be safe.
@@Ramatorix oh okay, sorry it happened to you. It looks like a nice board, they obviously dropped the ball.
@@DSPangilan no worries bud. I thought it was going to be a good board. I watched every video I could find on it and everyone said it was awesome. Well, it was not awesome in my opinion. But hey, thats why I started these reviews. To give viewers honest reviews. Now i have multiple boards and make videos providing my honest feedback. Everything happens for a reason. Thanks for the support. Take care.
I would not buy a cheap belt motor anymore. It's just not reliable. Hard on the battery too.
I think the only sub $1k belt drive I would buy is a verreal rs. Knowing that if it breaks i am on my own. But if i could i would save and get something better. Onsra and evolve are still my favs.
@@RamatorixVerreal agree. I'm still riding a 3 year old Verreal f1 hub. Changed battery, wheels and deck of course.
Daily driver. I own 4 different boards. Very impressed with Verreal. Meepo.. fix fix fix.. Vestar.. gone.. Ownboard is awesome and great customer service.
@@superhotbm thats great info. Thanks for sharing. Love the onsra, evolve is great at everything except hills, still testing the eovan.
and u are a VERY fair man.. i hope they make it right
What ever you do, do not communicate in any forum to that comment by Liam. Supposedly there hackers trying to steal your account. I have a friend that got that same exact comment by the same exact person
Does your rear wheels have 2 bearings on each side?
Wowgo sent it with 1 bearing. Said it reduced noise. I ended up putting 2 bearings in it.
@@Ramatorix Thanks for the reply! Mine also has one bearing on each side and the wheels were off balance/wobbly from the box, tightening and reassembly did not help. Wowgo informed me that it’s “ok”
@@Unst0p hahahaha, so i put 2 speed washers behind the wheel to space it out from the pulley. Then put 2 bearings with spacers in the wheels. It worked great for about 200 miles. Then the battery gave out. I refuse to put any more $ into that board. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.
@@Ramatorix Thanks mate! Sorry to hear about your bad experience! :/ Good luck with the next board. Btw you should make a video of your upgrade of back wheels, i think people would be interested! Cheers!
@@Unst0p thanks bud. I thought about a video but really do not want to give wowgo any more attention. I dont feel they deserve it. I have since moved on and have done reviews on evolve, onsra, meepo, verreal, and eovan. Wowgo is in my rear view mirror and I'm not looking back lol. Wish you luck with your board.
damn. that sucks. wowgo was my first esk8 purchase. then while waitin i realized how awesome evolve is anddddd there customer service anddd how fast there shipping.. i cancelled the wowgo and got my first evolve carbon GTR. then i bought the entire lineup. i swear on my dead father, its the best purchase i have ever made.. get a evolve GTR (bamboo or carbon) u will feel the difference in quality. i promise u.. i rode a wowgo, a backfire, a meepo, and a ownboard.: all cannot compete with the ride over the GTR. i swear
Very unfurtunate, but thanks for the video now I know not to trust this company...
They may have changed and this was only my experience but I will not be buying another wowgo anytime soon. Thanks for the support to the channel.
I can't comment about your $40 issue ... but what I can say is that there are a few flaws in your assessment of the issue of bearing on trucks ... I would quite happily go into details if you want.
I find this video to be anti-races!
Lol!!
