Hey everyone. I have the new Zealot S and Ownboard reviews coming soon. Hit that subscribe button. Also if you like any of these boards consider using m link to support the channel.
Bless Backfire, bless you, bless you all
🤦♂️🤦♂️😝 too funny.
Holy shot god
There's another point about hub motors i really don't hear much about: the silence!
I get the points for belt drives but that noise... sorry but i cant stand that permanent wiz that really affects the ride...
I like to get the wind without this sound, people should also consider this as a ride comfort.
Just a personnal opinion, and honnestly, Backfire wheels are good. Maybe not the best, but good so that's fine if i can't change them.
Nice vid as usual, my vote's for Backfire
Hazell K nice thanks for stopping by. I think these birds on this list are solid. So many options great for us. 😎😎😎
Just got my g3 and you weren't lying this thing is FAST. I got 30mph on flat out of mine and I'm 245 lbs.
Yes it’s really good. Most backfire boards can go faster than what they state. 🤙🤙
Do you still love it?
@@NealChauhan yup lol
Placed my order for the Zealot using the link from your review video. Your reviews and the Backfire CS is what helped make my final decision for my first esk8 as a 195lb 40 year old. Thank you for sharing your experiences, keep up the great work!
Jesse G you will enjoy this board a lot. Make sure you get some pads and a full face helmet. Thank you for your support. 🤙🤙
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Amen Brotha! PPE is a must, have too much to lose not to. Greatly appreciate the kind words/thoughts.
Hey everyone I hope that you enjoy the video. If you like any of these boards please consider supporting the channel by using my links in the description when you make your purchase. Your support also helps my wife not look at me so crazy when creating content LOL 😝 👉👉 Quick side note.... I think my top two are really 1a &1b. They are both really good. Great performers.
I own a backfire zealot and I also own an evolve GTR bamboo and the zealot is easily faster than my GTR. I weigh about 140 lb and the range that I get on my zealot is around 20 ish miles and the range on my GTR is around 27ish miles. Considering the price that I paid for the zealot opposed to what I paid for the GTR I would say that the zealot is a solid higher end budget board. I think it's on sale right now for like $650 at that price it is totally worth it.
Yep the Zealot offers so much value. It’s underrated.
@Patrick I have GTR Bamboo and I consider Zealot as a second board. Which board do You prefer? Is Zealot much more like a skateboard? How about the flexibilty compare to Bamboo?
Thanks so much for your time and informational value! I am currently looking to get my first eboard. I was 100% sold on the exway flex, until I found their customer service is near non existent (so I’ve heard) as they’ve severed ties with their us distributors. I’ve watched videos of people reporting to have big problems with over heating, battery sag and brakes coming on. Obviously I have no experience with any of that, just what I’ve watched so I’m not knocking the exway, but after sale service is EVERYTHING to me personally. I’m 5’ 11” 205 so your weight and battery relation is close to mine. It appears I have possibly saved myself a lot of frustration in buying the flex by coming across your vid, thanks so much! Ride safe! Subbed. 👍🏻
Take care buddy. What are you deciding on? Did you make a decision yet?
Yo! Thanks for getting back to me!.. I haven’t made a 100% decision yet, but now maybe that g3 because of those 🍩 (thanks for overview) ride same! And thanks for the content! 🛹 👍🏻
That dude plays guitar and rides a onewheel at the same time! That’s talent!
Yeah he been doing it for a while he got some national attention off of it too.
thank you for making this video! my meepo is giving out on me with less than 500 miles on it so I'm looking for a new board and am in between the G3 and the Zealot. I already rode the G3 and I absolutely love it but I think once I get a taste of the Zealot I think I'm settled on my new upgrade! your video really helped, thanks!!
Yeah I love my zealot as well. I ride it way more than any of my other eboards.
Q Anthony happy holiday. Thanks for stopping by. Zealot is solid. Feel free to share the video with a buddy or two.
I am very excited of my Zealot. Probably be here tomorrow. Gonna be my first board.
Ivan Strange oh yeah. Pad up wear a helmet. 🤙🤙
Mine comes on the 7th maybe
Just curious, are you still hyped? Do you rode it regularly? My Zealot s comes in in a few weeks and I'm super hyped and hope it lasts
I can't argue with your list, sir! I really like my Meepo NLS Pro hub drive board for its relatively bargain price and crazy speed, but it also sags at 30%. A happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. I hear that Meepo makes some very solid entry level boards. Would love to review one for you guys. Have to get one in my hands first though.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent why isnt the meepo awd on the list?
Love this boil down for the best of the year man. Great balanced breakdown
Thank you greatly appreciate that. ‼️‼️
I just ordered a Backfire Zealot S as my first board.
I was going to get the G3 plus with the carbon fiber board, but they were out of stock in the USA and I would have had to wait a full month so I went with the Zealot S
Backfire boards are awesome for the price. I have a G3 and loving it. Enjoy your reviews . Keep up the good work.
Glad you are enjoying it. Stay safe. 🤙🤙
I had to cancel my order for a backfire Zealot. I wasn’t aware that shipping was 45 days to USA. I’m looking for a second best option at this point
Should not be that long. They have US warehouse. Did you order from their US website? Honestly I would say it’s worth the wait.
I waited 37 days for my G3 and duuude it was worth it!
I Waited 30 Days And I Received My Backfire Zealot $650 No Tax . That Was In March To April. It Was Shipped Over Sea.
I bought the Backfire Zealot because of your reviews. Thank you! I’m very excited to get mine, it sucks that it takes 2 months for you to get the board 😭😭
Why so long?
MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Not sure but I contacted Backfire and they said their lead time right now is 40-45 days. I ordered mine April 9th and they said I should get it by mid June. I was going to pay just to ship it via Air Mail but it’s $200 and it’ll still takes 3 weeks 😭
*Backfire's service is consistently rated better than the other budget brands.* DKwan has also stated Backfire is his choice for number 1 this year for similar reasons to yours. 👏🏼👏🏼
I remember seein pics and info showin Backfire's new composite deck is from the same people that made the Boosted V3 (Stealth/Plus) decks.
Cool. Thanks for stopping by my guy. 🤙🤙
Good video! Have you ever tried the Bustin Hybrids? Both boards are at or less than 1k. I would love to see you review either board if you haven’t had the chance. I own a Bustin V2 Hybrid Sportster X+. I ended up paying $1050 for that board and it’s Bustin’s newest model. You can get another variant of the Sportster that keeps you right at 1k, the Bustin Hybrid YoFace is $700. I can speak to the CS, QA and all the performance specs for the board.
I have not but I am interested in definitely checking one out.
This dude is amazing! When he's not on Key and Peele or directing movies he is reviewing E boards!
No doesn’t...!!!
Great video. Fair comparisons and keeping it to what you've ridden is solid. After watching tons of videos and reading a lot I went with the BKB Duo and you're right, its a beast as a first board. Ive ridden other stuff a lot though so figured it would be fine. The power is amazing. The torque is so fun, feels like a miniature sport bike or race car. I really considered the backfire and am sure Id like that board as well. What won me over was I liked the ability to be somewhat future proof with the components of the BKB and a way easier ability to swap decks or customize as I go.
Yo I agree with everything you said. DUO Board acceleration is crazy. It is also very modular like you said. Glad you are enjoying yours. Nice video on yours too. Take care buddy.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Excellent video man! Id really like you to do a video on the Meepo NLS Pro Belt and the Ownboard W2 Pro! That would be interesting!
Haydon Jones I would too bro. Maybe shoot them and email requesting it.
Hey man great content. I'm really after performance. Can you do some actual time trials and hill climbs with the same weight rider and outside air temperature, winds,etc... I'm looking hard for actual data to help me along with the decision making. Specifically looking for 0-100 and 0-200metre time trials drag race type of straight line torque stuff and some hills with a 30% grade to see how badly these decks exhibit battery sag and to what degree. I'm not worried about range just raw power, torque and acceleration. Thanks for considering these types of tests in your reviews. Based on boards you've got. I would love to see a scientific, metrics based showdown between:
1. Zealot S
2. BKB Duo with the Xenith ESC
3. Eovan GTS carbon pro
4. Lycaon TRX 2.0
5. Verreal RS
6. Black Carve 2
Keep up the great work. Challenge issued.
nicely done brother. i have a blitzart dual, exway x1 and meepo mini 2. I want the zealot next
They are coming out with a new zealot too.
Id say,
1- BKB- VESC, good battery, excellent motors, mounts, trucks. Overall this board is way better than the 3. Not even close.
2- Flex- smart SONNY battery, FORGED and cnc trucks, solid enclosures, decent esc, decent morors, good deck and the APP.
3- Zealot- 21700 cells(unbranded), regular caliber 2 trucks, decent esc, decent motors.
4- G3- a poor mans zealot.
ray nicoli There are also factors not mentioned in the video for time constants price, ease of use, customer service, practicality,.... Also there are some things you can’t experience unless you have the board you can’t just go off of specs or talking points. But you have an interesting way of looking at things. Either way all these boards are solid. But I agree the BKB is amazing. Number one and two are really 1a and 1b.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent thats what usually buyers do, no? Check out the specs compare board to to board til they decide where they really wanna put their money into. they gona look for the Good quality trucks, trusted brand battery cells, esc/vesc, the deck, wheels, quality motors, WARRANTY, how it looks and most importantly is the CS. If I was looking for a board i gona go with my list.
ray nicoli that’s fine. I get the talking points but they don’t always translate into real world performance. I think people are most concerned with range, acceleration, torque, customer service and speed. The top two on this list rank higher in those categories. But hey people choose what they like. Some things are subjective some things are not. But like I said they are all solid. If you don’t mind me asking I think I saw you post Exway Atlas renders on facebook. How did you get them?
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent someone posted them on Reddit and its on D. Kwan recent video
Great videos, I watched them a few times before purchasing my Backfire G3 and my Backfire Zealot w/ 105mm cloud wheels. Both great budget boards and great recommendations on your end. Right now I'm looking to buy something that accelerates faster than my Zealot with similar riding feel (love the composite deck) or maybe go a different route with a carving board with DKP's for shits and gigs (Onsra, DIY, etc). Just looking something either a step above my Zealot or maybe a different kind of fun.
If you had a sec I just wanted to ask how big of a difference in acceleration is there between the BKB DUO Kit and the Backfire Zealot in turbo mode? Also how does the BKB DUO's stiffer Deck feel compared with the Zealot composite deck? is it similar, worse, or different? And lastly I know you've mentioned it's stability at higher speeds, but how does the BKB Duo feel stability wise at high speeds compared to the Backfire Zealot?
Right now I love my Zealot for the composite deck, torque, high speed stability, and the level of confidence I get from high speed carving with it.
If the acceleration / deck feel between the BKB DUO and the Backfire Zealot is minor I probably would just end up getting a carving board. But if the BKB DUO is a Zealot on steroids then it sounds like my next board.
Any insight is helpful and again great content and thanks for the detailed reviews.
Patrick .K you can get the DUO Board with your choice of deck. I have the stiffer deck which is recommended for my weight. You can get the more flexy deck. The DUO Board has really good acceleration. Check out my full review of the board on my channel. The DUO Board has really large motors and has very aggressive torque and acceleration. I think you would appreciate it. I have a link and discount code for 50 dollars off that board if you select it. It’s in the video description. I think all your questions will be answered in my full review of the DUO Board which has been on the channel for a little while now. I hope this helps.
I currently own the Exway flex. I am 6.5 and the board being shorter I find to be a positive, definitely feel locked in and it easier to lug around.
Good stuff
Rarely do I find myself disagreeing with MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent, but BKB Duo for the win all day long. The board is super comfortable, face melting fast, highly customizable, and has American based support. I own the Flex and the Duo. I've ridden the Flex twice since purchasing the Duo (August), and one of those times was because I felt sorry for it. I do love my Flex, but its not the Flex, it's me. I've fallen in love with another board, and she's perfect. Her name is BKB Duo.
Isahiyella I agree the DUO Board is the spec king. I was also considering ease of use for new riders and price in addition to all the specs. But I agree for the price the DUO Board has so much value. I actually put a comment above that I really should have made it 1a &1b. Take care. Stay safe 🤙🤙
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thanks brother, and I will say this. If you're a newbie to skating in general, BKB Duo is probably too much board for you. I've been skating for years, and the Flex was my first electric. Initially I loved it but, within a month or two, I needed more speed and more torque. Also, the point you made about the Flex battery is right on. When the battery falls below 30% it noticeably suffers. When it falls under 20% you might as well get ready to start pushing it manually, cause it doesn't have much left in the tank. I can say I prefer the wheels of the Flex over the Duo (97mm) and I wish the battery was larger in it. I've upgraded to the speed kit for the BKB and it eats the battery up much quicker than the default 15t did. But, I don't lose speed and torque like I do with the Flex.
@@Isahiyella I agree with you 100 percent I am going to do a video soon on DUO Board with AT wheels.
I have the zealot board and the only thing I dnt like about it is the range it dies way to fast for me and the hard wheels suck the cloud wheels feels way more better on the road for me I really dnt use the zealot board anymore I use the at board way more and has double the range
Nice. What is your other board
0:16 Aye is that Chavis Flagg with the electric guitar? Great review btw!
Jaxton Jr yep that’s him. We all roll. Thanks for stopping by. 🤙🤙 consider subscribing.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Been subscribed for a couple months, keep up the informative videos man! 🤟🏾
Loocking to buy the Zealot S or Wowgo 3X... Still computing the datas. The good thing, it,s winter time so got plenty of time to make the choice Lol ( I know, not the same price )
Would you put the beast board in this as well? Also is the WowGo AT2 worth the extra money over the Beast Board? The Beast Board just seems too good to be true haha
I have ordered 4 boards. Wowgo Knight, Exway Flex, Wave and Backfirfe Zealot. I was happy untill I started the boards. Just out of the box, Flex motor didn't want to spin, so I had to remove the wheels, covers, loose all bolts, and assemble breand new board. Next one, Wave, factory error on axle. Axle pin is not centered, so rear left wheel is woobling while riding. Backfire Zealot out of the box came uncentered front and rear trucks, so board ofloaded goes left always. Also had to loosen belts. Wowgo Knight was a gift, and I didn't open it, but watched opening and seems ok. So out of 4 boards 3 are defected Wonder why no one is checking the boards before putting it in the box? I mean wheels on my Flex literally stuck and couldn't spin out of the box.
Sorry to hear that.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I have contacted exway, send photos and video. They were super nice and send me new trucks for Wave. And flex motor started spining after couple of tries when I helped it with the hand, and gave it full beans. So now almost all my boards are in good shape. Once again thanks exway for sending so quickly replacement trucks.
Thanks for this one
I see you to the top
(From Paris) 🗼
Daniel Dacosta 🤙🤙 no problem. You guys asked for it and wanted to do it for you guys. Do me a favor share vid with a few buds. Stay safe. See you at the top 🔝
Happy Thanksgiving Lansing😁😁
Thank you same to you and your family
Quick question. Why do you need extra pulleys? Are they the same teeth count as the pulleys that come on the board? They just give you an extra set of the same pulleys? Thanks oh and are the 97mm stock wheels good wheels or are you going to change them out for something softer?
Eddie Jackson extra pulleys are helpful if you break your existing ones. That way you don’t have to buy new ones or wait on new ones to come.
Minus some occasional remote disconnects, forcing you to turn both the board and remote on manually (That's just the inner lazy in me screeching, not a dealbreaker at all), the Exway Flex Riot is a fantastic choice in my opinion; a major upgrade from my first electric board and a great option for anyone looking into a more dedicated investment into electric skateboarding outside the entry-level budget boards
Gearcortex thanks for sharing. Disconnections can be very dangerous when riding. Be careful and ride safe. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent It's not a mid-ride disconnect, it's a disconnect when you first turn the board on. If it disconnected during my rides, I'd be terrified to even step foot on it
@@zeph_os Ok ride safe. That would still concern me.
I love my Bustin Sportster X+ I have 100mm thanes with the dualomo hub motor they use is awesome to push if you run out of battery and it coasts almost as good as a regular longboard. I can get up to 30mph now that I’ve ridden it for awhile and if I stay under 20mph, I can go around 18 to 20 miles if I don’t push any at all and I weigh 208lbs. And I am still in awe on how my board can climb some very steep hills close by me. It’s a sweet looking board and is only $999.00...... I’m no video expert but feel free to check out some of the vids of the board I have on my channel. No subscription needed since I just upload for fun.
How is the acceleration on it? Have you tried any other boards you might compare it too? I weigh about 215 pounds and like a lot of torque more so than top speed. The board looks really really nice, and I like that wooden enclosure and remote!
@@Mr-E. the wooden look is fake but it still looks good for plastic dipped to make it look like wood. The acceleration in 4th gear is very good and if you're not carefull it can sling you off the board but it does drain the battery pretty quick starting out in 4th gear all the time. I usually push to get some speed first so it isn't so much of a battery drain. When I ride in 3rd and 4th gear alot, I get around 10 to 12 miles on my board. I have some big hills around me and I havent found a hill I can't go up with this board yet. Its my first eboard and I was pleasantly surprised on how much torque this hub motor has. I have to lean forward a good bit when I take off in 4th and I have to lean back just as much when I brake in 4th gear also. Brake has 4 brake settings also. Its a very good board for it to be 999.00
@@rbrt_lux Good to know, especially if you are going up hills well, that gives me an idea of the torque. You weigh similar to me too, so that is why I wanted your thoughts on it. I'll do some more research. I like that it can have 100 mm wheels... the hubs I currently have are 83 mm wheels, so the ride is pretty rough.
@@Mr-E. I have some vids of the board on my channel. The vids are of when I first got my board and I just cruise around so I don't do any crazy sliding sideways or anything lol, but you are welcome to watch some of the vids i have of the board. Im no video expert so the vids are just for fun. Towards the end of one of my vids you will see me slow the video down and watch me run over a rock and sling it in the air and it go over my gopro lol
I also wish I had some vids of me going up the real steep hills when I took my kid trick or treating this year over by her friend's house. Next chance I get (probably spring lol) I will try and record some going up steep hills
Hey, what nose guard do you use for your g3 and would you recommend them?
Yes I like them. They are called romp supply. I have a video on the channel that breaks them down I also have a discount code in that video. 🤙
whats your opinion about verreal rs?
I have never ridden one. So I can’t provide too many details. Sorry 😞 maybe reach out to them and request that I review it. 🤟
X2 are the s with cloudwheels from Belgium Roads not always good
that was a good video, very informing, iam looking for a good board (bang for your buck)
Zealot S is really solid I have a review coming really soon of another board that may interest.
Lycaon Swift or Backfire G3. G3 is $80 cheaper right now.
You should try the milesboard phantom or sex panther
Unfortunately I have had no communication with that company.
Have you tried the nls pro or the mini 2 ? How is it for a 250 pound rider
I have not ridden either of those boards. I have a NLS Pro, beast board, Zealot S videos up. Lycoan Swift coming soon on channel. Check those out and hit that subscribe button.
Would you recommend a backfire g3 or an exway flex for a beginner? Need a good beginner board! Looking for a cheaper option that provides value, also one with not as much maintenance needed.
Or do you recommend spending the extra to get the zealot S?
@@coleschindler2882 I am a big fan of the Zealot. The new one seems crazy too.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Do you feel like if I go for the G3 it will be worth the value? ,,, not trying to spend so much on my first board.
@@coleschindler2882 I just got my new zealot s get that. I have a link to backfire above it supports the Chanel.
Minute 9:30 where can I purchase this setup??
Heck out my DUO Board review.
When it comes to the backfire zealot and g3 what are the main differences and which do you recommend.
Get zealot because of belt drive if you G3 is hub motor. I have a zealot review on channel.I also have a Zelaot S review on channel as well. Consider using my links if you decide on board to support. Take care.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent alright will do love the channel👍🏼
I was stuck between the zealot and the G3 Plus Carbon board as my first E-board , and I ended up going with the G3 Plus simply for the range and the hub motors requiring less maintenance. I weigh 210 & ride very fast too. I think I average about 18 miles instead of the advertised 25 miles. I never leave sport mode because eco mode is pretty much a joke, and turbo mode seems best for me most of the time but it really burns the battery out. Do you think the G3 Plus is better than the zealot or no?
I like the zealot and Zealot s more.
I thought the backfire ranger X3 will be on the top 4... to expensive ? For what reason it's not ? Thanks
List is "Under $1000 USD"
The Ranger X3 is a little bit more expensive. Also it is not a street board. Ranger is solid. Check out my review of it.
I need a review on the SKATEBOLT tornado two.
They only have the backfire zealot S available on thier website. Is that as good as the normal zealot?
My unboxing will be up really soon. Full review soon after. 😊😊
Like everything about it except pink, nope.
Is the zealot a belt driven board.
Jack Irish yes it is. I have a full review of the board on my channel. I think you will find it helpful.
So Loaded is making the new backfire deck???
The deck is composite. Made of a variety of materials. Loaded does not make it.
What were those cops in the video telling you?
It crazy I was riding on sidewalk like a mile away. They told me I could not because the sidewalk was originate property. so I rode a mile in the street and jumped back on the sidewalk. These clowns followed me and told me I did not ride far enough in the streets to a sidewalk because I was still on private property. Surely there has to be better use of their time.
Where’s the lycaons here?? Those are better than the backfires
Marley’s Vision hey there. I would love to review one of their boards. But unfortunately I don’t have one.
dope video buddy
MEAT thank you greatly appreciate it. 🤙🤙 consider subscribing have some cool things coming.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent there not gonna supply a backfire guy a board bro it's pretty clear where your loyailty/marketing lies. Not hating love your reviews bought by zealot on the back of your review. Ranger x3 looks like another winner for backfire 🤙
What's the range you get with bkb duo?
Douglas macedo I break down all the specifics in my full review of the board. It’s on the channel.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent ok, thanks mr phillips.
Douglas macedo 🤙🤙
what is that thing he always has on the back of his board?, I am an idiot, lmao.
Why is that guy riding a wheelie past a family with kids……..
Why do electric skateboards cost $1,000....when you can buy an electric bike $1,000.......
Depends on what people want. Most people I know have more than one PEV.
$1000 ebikes are dog shit you gotta drop 5 times that for a quality ebike
Verreal Rs all day
Never tried one so I can’t comment. 🤟🤟
This review, like almost all other reviews, is pretty useless for the average commuter. It doesn't talk about long term reliability, which is the most important attribute of any board. Things break down and when they do, you life is literally at risk. I've been thrown off an Exway Flex multiple times due to modules malfunctioning - battery, motor unit, etc.. Who gives a crap about the minute differences in acceleration or even a couple more or less miles of range. How does the board do after 500 miles, 2000 miles, etc... ?
