Coming here back after riding it for 2 months now: dope board, no complaints at all (its my first board). but man, its nice too see the board once clean again :D im riding it through any dirt, except for wet surfaces, avoid them bros, everything else is fine
Update after a year of driving: left hub broken, right doesn't get enough energy and the support team is an unbeatable, incompetent pain in the... They don't talk with you, you have to make videos of the problem(wtf, describing it is not an option) - which is not possible since even a short video is too big to attach it to a mail. So 600€ for the trash, I strongly DO NOT recommend Backfire at all. I even suggested sending it to their support warehouse in Hamburg - they refused like every other option that I offered. If you want to save some nerves, take another company!
@@tr4nsist0r92 thank you so much for the info! Is it okay to learn how to skateboard with an electric board? And do you have a recommendation for which board to buy? I think I'd like a longboard style big board. I got an ebike I ride 40km daily so I think I should adapt quickly I want a electric skateboard so badly
It has been very fascinating to watch the progression of electric skateboards. It seems like most board companies are going with flexy decks. This is a good thing for lighter riders but for heavier riders this could be problematic. Good looking board. I did a video comparing flex of flexy and stiff boards I am 225. The results were interesting. Good video.
@@way2comfortable698 It was so much fun. Brought me into more electric vehicles, so I bought myself a Surron. But the Backfire G3 was amazing when I rode it!
@@way2comfortable698 such a blast dude! can ride it as a dirt bike, street bike, or just cruise. and there's so many options to customize it to however you want
Pretty soon everything is going to be electric whether its winter time or whatever the weather so I feel like it's good to test it In the fall and winter so they know what to make stronger for you know.... Progress:) good review thanks Talen
Dawson Weems I had initially thought about getting Exway but ended up buying G3 with no regrets at all for what I was looking for, which was a quiet hub motor with a smooth ride. Exway hub motor board has thinner back wheels which makes for rougher ride. I absolutely looove my new G3. It’s quiet as the night and buttery smooth ride. With trucks slightly loosened, it carves like a dream. I feel my life is more complete with G3 and get stoked every time I ride it 🏄🏻♂️😅
I've been watching all your e-board reviews since the beginning Talon and the A/T backfire has me the most excited thus far, so bring on the review mate.... Keep up the great work and flawless content!!!!
just bought one on offer up! $150 with the virus happening folks are dumping a lot of things. fyi . check on offer up !you can find deals like this. its scary fast.
A new esk8 review vid! I think eboards are underrated for outdoors adventuring. Planning on doing a multi-vid series on my channel next year as I skatepack the Central Ontario Loop Trail on an esk8
I have had a Wowgo 2s since Fall 2018 and used it daily until it had motor issues that I couldn't fix and only took care off months later. I like it, but am definitely tempted by this deal and to give the Wowgo to a friend for free/cheap if I do jump on this deal.
I just got the G3 and I can tell you that it is much quieter than I even imagined. It’s smoother than I thought as well on nicely paved roads. It you don’t mind the loud noise, then go with Zealot since you can change the wheels. But if you want quiet ride, then G3 all the way
Thanks, Talon. That Ranger 2 board looks real nice. I look forward to the review. The G3 also looks like a real nice board, especially with that price point.
I've ordered a G3 as well but its been 10 days and no shipping updates so far, it just says ready for UPS, I'm in the UK btw. I'm at university at the moment and my lectures are about 1 mile away so I have to walk there and back multiple times a day so this is going to be a life saver!
I have to say this I've bin looking for the right board to grab an you helped me out in Major way would like to say thanks an keep makeing videos. But back to it I decided on the backfire G3 not the plus just in the fact it's much flexible but sturdy which I like. This will be my 1st eboard ever as I'm an old-school Kat that Misses skateboard ing . Thanks
Bro, get a cheap cruiser board like Ridge, learn to push, skate and cruise, and in 1 month you’ll be ready to cruise on any board. You can do it, go go go! (Been skate-cruising for 3 years now and I’m finally waiting for my first e-skate this month)
Great info/vid sir! Request. As ur spreadsheet grows, it would be cool & make it easier to compare if you could side-by-side the col's "Claimed" Range by: "Actual"Range + "Claimed" Spd. / "Actual" Spd. etc..... (omg i'm so lazy) ;P
Awesome vid as always! You should check out the Meepo Mini 2 ER sometime soon, just got it and the torque is insane for such a small board. Plus 20 miles range isn't shabby either.
My first electric skateboard had a USB charging port and now that it's broken I don't think I can get another board that doesn't have it. My phone's battery kinda sucks and my board saved me so many times there. Backfire it is!
Man the ranger x2 looks like a sweet board that mean look it has is badass but i like the side led light's on this board overall tho i liked this board 2 min.'s into video awesome video thanks again👍👍
Is it possible to carry an electric skateboard in your carry on bag onboard an airplane? Need some tips. Trying to buy a wowgo and bring it with me overseas.
the learning curve is not that sharp, it’s actually pretty easy to get used to, after about a week maybe a bit longer depending on how much you ride it, it becomes very comfortable, and it’s really fun.
I’m replying to my own question basically because people hit the like button but not I fucking person can even answer what I’m asking. What’s the point of having a channel if you can’t even reply to a actual real question that would actually make the difference if someone buys or doesn’t buy the shit your pushing for people to buy. What a asshole.
the My only learning curve is the battery goes out in less than 6 days of riding🤦♂️ I did 5miles riding everyday since I’ve got it. Now I gotta wait for a new battery for my g2t🤦♂️ don’t believe the hype
Can you please review the new Meepo V3? I am thinking to buy one and I always agree with what you say, I would love to know what you think about the board.
Right on wearing the dome bucket. Andy Anderson is the best skater in the world right now and he is always sporting his helemet. He even loses money because of it but doesn't care since gettin a brain injury is no laughing matter. T.B.I's are a quick way to loose a persons love for target shooting and tactical training due to loss of muscle control or even being able to walk and talk again after a bad crash
Yo Talon, I am om the edge of buying the Vestar Night Fury (hub) If there is anyyyyy possibility you can test that out, you would make a Dane insanely happy 🤘🏻 Thanks for your nice reviews 🙌🏻
hello I bought it today and I'm waiting for the email that indicates the code to track the parcel could you tell me how it works and the shipping times I live in Italy
Quick question... which board is better? The Backfire G3 or Meepo NLS Pro ??? wondering if the NLS Pro is worth the extra $100 considering Backfire is offering a $150 discount.
I bought this board. 599usd on the official site. But the deck is not even close to that kind of flexibility. It's pretty hard and stiff and after a while, the back foot starts to get hurt... Pretty annoying
nice review as always! Have you tested out the Exway boards? Curious what your thoughts are on those boards. Noticed you didn't have the Exway boards on your spreadsheet
Damn guys. leave a like, is it so hard to stop for a second and tap your screen? Come on guys, give this dude a hand, he's giving you amazing content for free! Give him a like
Great video! You had a ride on the sidewalk a couple of times because of the cop. How did the board feel when you're on the sidewalk with the cracks in the sidewalk? I'm coming from a one-wheel and trying to decide which board to get and I want one that could handle the sidewalk without feeling every single bump and crack. Thanks
I've been riding a G2S since March and absolutely love the board. After 9 months of hard riding nearly every day, 1,500 miles and about 350 charging sessions, I'm ready to upgrade to the G3. My current board can only get about 6-7 miles full charge and the voltage sag is starting to get pretty noticeable after 3-4 miles into a trip (which is fine because my commute is just less than 4 miles and I charge at work). You guys think I could sell the old board for $100 or is it pretty much scrap now? Can't decide if I should sell it or just keep it as a backup.
Can you explain to me how you slow down on these boards. I'm getting my first board soon and I'd like to know how to do it. Also would like to see the video on the ranger 2! It looks like a fun board!!
Awesome talon thanks for your time! Just a tidbit I wanted to share, my first board is lookin like an explore X6 murked out! Looks like its gonna be a fun board!
@@citizensnipz6961 Just as a precaution though, don't skate faster than you can stop yourself, and learn how to footbrake. I've had a few times where the controller disconnects which means no brakes. It'll save you from getting seriously injured in the future.
citizen snipz you pull back on the scroll wheel. Some boards have a feature that when you pull back on the scroll wheel the wheels turn in reverse. With those type of settings you pull back in the scroll wheel until the board comes to a stop. This particular board does not have this feature. However some people really like having access to this feature because it means you can come to a complete stop on hills and if you miss your stop you can roll back very quickly. Cheers 🥂
I just bought a G3 as well as some Cloud wheels. A friend let me play on his recently, and it seems to overcome my fears of having a pebble stop the board and send me flying, which I really don’t want to do while my dog is running along beside me. But a big problem that I have is shaky knees. Boards wobble to turn, and I have a little trouble centering myself and staying steady, so going fast is just not a possibility. How do I get over the trembling? Am I thinking about the wrong thing when trying to balance? Is there a tightness to the trucks that would help me? I’m kind of new to this, and I just want to have fun while giving my dog a fun run wherever we travel. But I don’t want to go slower than my pupper’s natural strolling pace.
My tips are: 1) don't go faster than you're comfortable stopping, 2) don't skate next to a dog when you aren't already comfortable turning and stopping bc dogs sometimes will stop suddenly and you don't want to pull them, 3) practice, practice, practice! I've been skateboarding before going on my current search for an eboard and it helps a ton with balance and comfort. Skateboarding is a lot about balance, so practice turning and changing your weight on the fly depending on your terrain. Anytime you step on a skateboard, accept that you will probably fall. Wear a helmet. Good luck :)
Also your board shouldn't uncontrollably wobble while turning, it only would wobble if your legs are wobbling. If you're having lots of trouble with stability, try tightening the trucks. It'll make it more stable but lower your turn radius.
@@cindy7544 thanks. I can feel that the source of instability is in my legs though. I mean, my friend stepped off of the board and handed me the remote, and he had no problem. So I’m 99% sure there’s a mental concept i’m missing that needs to be put into action. Remember, i’m not a skater. Think back to your first time trying to balance. That’s what I’m doing at age 33. As for my dog, don’t worry about him. Pretty much every question you have of him is answered, “Quite simply because he’s a good boy.”
I have G2T for a few months now and I love it. so far there have been no any issues except the battery runs out fast when you always go on full speed (sport mode) I should have waited for the holiday sale but I mainly use it for commuting to work. On the other hand, if you're a speed demon like me then all the backfire board will disappoint you eventually. The price is very reasonable with the G3 and overall performance is amazing since you can ride it with stability and comfort.I have not put my hands on any meepo eboards yet but it looks like they have great designs and accessories. But if you're going with backfire boards, the best money you can buy is on the G3 with small differences over the G3 plus or you can do more research. Good luck and be safe!
Coming here back after riding it for 2 months now: dope board, no complaints at all (its my first board). but man, its nice too see the board once clean again :D im riding it through any dirt, except for wet surfaces, avoid them bros, everything else is fine

Thank you for sharing this review
Backfire Boards it was a good review.
Great job! Got the G3 Plus, it is super powerful and range test of 22 miles. No voltage sag and the carbon fiber deck is beautiful.
I want the g3 plus because if the fiber deck
The deck weight is nothing. The plus has a bigger batt and is lighter then G3. The G3 supper flex will probably make it smoother on bumps.
thank you for supporting BACKFIRE
I appreciate this review so much man. A few other ones were sketchy because they were sponsored. I gotta say, thanks for not being full of crap lol.

I just ordered my G3!
Good choice, Hope you like it 👍Seems like a solid option from my first test.
How is it ??
Picked up a 2020 G2, with the ongoing BF deals. 389$ n I get it in less than a week. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Backfire boards
Hey lol I also just bought a backfire but a g3 since it only costs 549. I love it and if anyone else is looking for one, I highly recommend it.

Here we go..."I went to school UPHILL both ways" guy.😂
Just purchased looking forward to it! $150 off now online

If you do a little of aggressive riding than battery will heat up and it will perform well
This board is fckn LIT 🔥 just got one ☝️

I wanna see your review of the Ranger 2.
My main concern is being a 260 lbs. man. What best fits that type of weight for a person wanting to buying an electric skateboard?
Prob the koowheel d3m 2 gen. It has a really stiff board and I believe 2 300W hub motors making it quite powerful 👍
I think walking would do the trick
@@DarthVader-gp4kr 💀💀💀
Benyam Assegdw bruh 💀
Meepo AWD for sure
Awesome vid as always! You should check out the Meepo Mini 2 ER sometime soon, just got it and the torque is insane for such a small board. Plus 20 miles range isn't shabby either.
My first electric skateboard had a USB charging port and now that it's broken I don't think I can get another board that doesn't have it. My phone's battery kinda sucks and my board saved me so many times there. Backfire it is!
Backfire manual specifically says not to use the USB port other than charging the remote
Perhaps when you revisit this one in the Spring, you could also review the G3+?
yes PLEASE
I have the G3 plus, it's legit the same as the G3 besides the deck lol
love your vids brotha keep up the great work god bless
Man the ranger x2 looks like a sweet board that mean look it has is badass but i like the side led light's on this board overall tho i liked this board 2 min.'s into video awesome video thanks again👍👍
Waiting for the ranger x2 review !
I wonder what would happen if you threw some bone reds on that board. Acceleration would be insane 😂
You should review the Revel Kit
where’s the spring review? i just bought myself one of these and was wondering how it preforms in better weather conditions
He never did it lol
I assume better than colder and wetter weather. Hitting higher speed. etv
Cool. Thanks man.

Awesome review. I will receive my Backfire G3 12 days fr now.
Is the battery already charged when you received it ?
thank you.
Nice report, I like it. Was the battery depleted at the end of your 13mi ride? Is there a battery level meter in the app?
Battery meter on the controller and yes it was at a point where I would soon have to push
Tom Spurlock there is no app with this board. However is does have a screen that displays battery life of remote and board in addition to an odometer.
I bought this board.
599usd on the official site.
But the deck is not even close to that kind of flexibility.
It's pretty hard and stiff and after a while, the back foot starts to get hurt...
Pretty annoying
Please give your size and weight? It'll give us big guys +- perspective. Thank you.
Just picked up mine for $180 on Facebook marketplace
for 600 that thing is pretty much a steal.
Backfire G3 vs Koowheele Vs Meepo nls pro ?
u think batteries would preform better in cold weather. IDK usually they do.
So nice video! Do you have comparsion between MEEPO V3 and BACKFIRE G3 ? Which is better uphill?
Friends, help with advice with a choice, I have wowgo2 and I want a second board faster. What to buy? Wowgo3 8Ah or Backfire G3 ???

How do I get over the trembling? Am I thinking about the wrong thing when trying to balance? Is there a tightness to the trucks that would help me? I’m kind of new to this, and I just want to have fun while giving my dog a fun run wherever we travel. But I don’t want to go slower than my pupper’s natural strolling pace.
My tips are: 1) don't go faster than you're comfortable stopping, 2) don't skate next to a dog when you aren't already comfortable turning and stopping bc dogs sometimes will stop suddenly and you don't want to pull them, 3) practice, practice, practice! I've been skateboarding before going on my current search for an eboard and it helps a ton with balance and comfort. Skateboarding is a lot about balance, so practice turning and changing your weight on the fly depending on your terrain. Anytime you step on a skateboard, accept that you will probably fall. Wear a helmet. Good luck :)
Also your board shouldn't uncontrollably wobble while turning, it only would wobble if your legs are wobbling. If you're having lots of trouble with stability, try tightening the trucks. It'll make it more stable but lower your turn radius.
@@cindy7544 thanks. I can feel that the source of instability is in my legs though. I mean, my friend stepped off of the board and handed me the remote, and he had no problem. So I’m 99% sure there’s a mental concept i’m missing that needs to be put into action.
Remember, i’m not a skater. Think back to your first time trying to balance. That’s what I’m doing at age 33.
As for my dog, don’t worry about him. Pretty much every question you have of him is answered, “Quite simply because he’s a good boy.”
Can you please review the ka bar self defense knife!!
Another Evolve test? but with the Carbon!!
Great review. How does this board at $599 compare to the NLS Pro at $651 on Blk Fri. Which would you spend your $$ on and why?
I have G2T for a few months now and I love it. so far there have been no any issues except the battery runs out fast when you always go on full speed (sport mode) I should have waited for the holiday sale but I mainly use it for commuting to work. On the other hand, if you're a speed demon like me then all the backfire board will disappoint you eventually. The price is very reasonable with the G3 and overall performance is amazing since you can ride it with stability and comfort.I have not put my hands on any meepo eboards yet but it looks like they have great designs and accessories. But if you're going with backfire boards, the best money you can buy is on the G3 with small differences over the G3 plus or you can do more research. Good luck and be safe!
ski0alta backfire has better customer support i believe
