- What's up blade riders, in this video we are taking a look at the Metroboard Phoenix electric skateboard, at $3k this board wont be topping any most affordable esk8 lists anytime soon, but does the performance make up for the flashy price tag? Watch on to find out.

Great video!
Thank you kindly 🤙
nice! id love to scoop one if it wasnt for the top middle mounted esc and the high price tag.. for almost 3000 with the 153mm is just nuts. i bought a set of those and those tires were taller and less contact patch then there 155mm tires. they even admitted it was supposed to be the same design as the 155mm but just smaller, and it wasnt. they also acknowledged how sometimes molds come out different. they refused to send me a proper set. 3k for that setup is just too much. just my input & experience . as for the lights, i remember talking to them at the first esk8con , and they said they couldnt figure out the lights controlled by the remote . i wish there were more customers and or reviews on these boards to get a better idea of real world speed tests and longevity of the build. ✅
For real, quality is top, but there are just not enough of these put in the wild to get a baseline, what I really like about the metros in general is you open them up and nothing in there is proprietary so super easy to fix/update. But yeah its definitely a steep cost barrier for most riders
damn esk8unity got screwed over my metroboards damn shame the new management must be gold diggers with no customer care and the boards specs for the price are a joke compared to many other company boards out there well another stupid esk8 company to add to the naughty list that keeps on building up.
@@NitroSoldier what companies are on the "naughty list?"
Bro for 2800 I’d get the new MBoards endurance 2.0 +.. oh wait I already did 🤙
@@erike7297 for sure, its two approaches to the same market, US made and supported but at drastically different price points, but with Metros future kinda up in the air now the endurance is certainly a no brainer for an off the cuff recommendation
Really good honest open review. I really enjoyed the ride feel of it at esk8con. Of course that’s in a small area. At least they’re honest about their target market. Customer service and dependability goes a long way. 😎
Fo sho, its a bit unfortunate that they announced the re-structuring right after I dropped the vid but is what it is, I stand by them still having some of the best quality builds and components, hopefully Metro pulls through.
Price point .....Ouch. killer specs, trucks look insane. I would like to ride one before I commit at that price!
Its one of the best feeling DKP boards I have ever ridden, period, but yeah at that price point its a bit much to ask.for most
That's not a fast charger. It's just "faster" than most wimpy chargers you get. A Molicel P42A pack's 1C charge rate is 4.2A. For a 4P pack (like the one one the Phoenix), you would need a 16A charger to hit that. A 10A charger is barely putting 2.5A into each group during nominal charging. That's just over .5C. That's zero stress on the battery pack. To put it into perspective, there's more stress on the pack when you're accelerating from a dead stop.
Fair point, I'll freely admit Im not super well versed on the EE side of things for that sounds right for moli's, and yeah this is more generally fast charging but it's hyper charging compared to most other production boards which usually top out around 8a at most.
ESK8 companies are always killing me with their "fast" chargers. None of the out of the box boards come with a charger that even hits the 1C rate of the cells from what I've seen. And everyone seems to always believe that slower is better, which is true. But that doesnt mean that faster is bad if you arent even hitting the 1C rating of the cell. Kudos to calling this out. Sometimes I feel like Im the only one who ever says anything about it.
So you r wrong about the esc/vesc Video shows a D75 ? Dv6 is only up to 12s ....... also liked and subbed.
Good call, when I did the VO I was going off the website specs, which probably also needs another once over, will pass alomg 🤙
*Awesome video!*
🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️🤙🏽
🙌❤️👊
No more lights
Yeah, its a weird move cause they could jist drop an inline switch in there to manually turn them on, but I'm sure there was more to that decision than I know.
@@DredSk8 Ilan the OG owner of MetroBoard was not happy about this choice but he sold the company so 😪😪
@@eBoard3R I'm sure he'll materialize in the comments here shortly, my biggest gripe is they didn't color match the cover plates.
This board looks terrible for the price. Clean build inside but what the hell is that engineering failure of a hump doing there? The trucks are pretty ugly IMO. The charger and Hoyt puck are the only things I like.
