This is my favorite bored for what I need it to do, I don't always know where I'm going so the off roading ability is a big pro. Now just need to save up 😭 lmao.
Micah, love the video. Thanks for all your articles on Electrek too. I've been looking to get a Onewheel pint. I think you would like it. I look forward to seeing more of your reviews.
I ordered and received my X2 as soon as it was available, so I've had it for quite a while now and can agree with this review 100% on all points. One thing I don't believe was mentioned but I think is maybe the best feature of the board, and one of the most intangible things about it is the incredible feeling of pure confidence it gives you, and a feeling of safety that I don't get in any of my other boards. You just feel like you can either glide over obstacles or power through them, and whichever way you choose to do it - and whatever speed - you feel safe and secure. It's a combination of the shock-absorbing flexy deck with a perfect concave grip to it, the double kingpin trucks which are both stable yet can turn extremely tightly, and the wheels/tires which eat up pavement cracks, curbs, grass/gravel transitions and loose debris effortlessly. Once you get accustomed to this incredible feeling of confidence, it is difficult to go to other lesser means of electric transportation like a EUC or OneWheel, or regular street eskateboards. So while it may be the most intangible feature, as an owner and daily commuter I can say it is what makes the X2 one the most enjoyable devices I've yet ridden.
@@BackfireBoardsOfficial -- Hey there! Glad to see you on CZcams comments. By any chance would you ever consider selling used boards? I'd love one but can't afford a brand new one at this time.
@@BWT599 No not an issue for those things BUT I will say I have scraped mine up just a tiny bit by trying to go up and over a very high curb (which I made it up and over no problem) but yes it did scrape the battery cover in front. Just scuffed up a bit, and I probably should not have tried it in the first place so I consider it my own fault. I can go over shorter curbs and other obstructions without bottoming out, still you would be wise to keep it mind for going over larger obstacles.
Amazing board.. just got mine last week.. a few things..like were the charger port and on and off button are, that's were the potential for the most damage is..would love them on the side were there protected.. but love my Ranger2.. 😁
This review doesnt give me the sense you've actually owned this board all that long... feels more like a paid promotion than it does a customer talking to their friends...
i have the X1 redux which minus the power boost is the same board. My only complaint is your going to stack up on tires if you ride bad pavement like i do in ny.
I own an Backfire Ranger X1 redux (w2 with out the power boost) I liked the video but....its kinda misleading because your riding on streets that are almost flawless!! Bring that board to upstate NY and youll find out really quick that youll need to replace the tires every season. Just pavement.... bad pavement but my tires are bald!!
It had over a third more 🏋 so COST per pound is ☝(x200 coupon code or otherwise below $k versus prior WEIGHT is reduced a quarter) I like idea of flip down ultralow rolling resistance front truck that gets snapped back if bumped to increase range when you step up minimising sponged weight in back. Let deck protect. (My SECOND paragraph is obscure presently to me? Could someone remind me WHAT I meant? My battery being 20% leaves me out of range of intended meaning TONIGHT)
Tried to leave email with website but am dimmed the beta android twilight ap finally works fully on even lg buttons so i failed to prove i was human... Oh well am too young for esk8 adw by fool tools ANYWAY but UNDER $400 range is BEST they claim?
Well manufacturers are often very generous with the ip rating. Maybe if the seals are completely new and all but after some time it will definitely degrade faster when riding in rain. Salty snow and salt water puddles are board killers. Parts of the hub motor will definitely rust when you drive on wet winter days.
jacob paternostro depends on the tire. Classic flat Longboard wheels give you allmost No controll on wet pavement. Things like 120mm Foamies are okay for lower speeds. I have never tried the wheels from the video but they look like they could allso work okay. But if you really want All weather all terrain wheels go with at least 160mm Pneumatic tires.
Thank tou for your review. I just tried now to save the 200 with the code you provided but i gyess its too late. Would you happen to have another? Pleeeeeeeeeeease lol
Everything broke in this board before I could even pay it off. I’m an aircraft mechanic and the maintenance on this is trash. I’ve put just as much money into spare parts as the board costs. Go with a different brand
I love the evolve bash at the end, lol how much did they pay you fam? Lol it looks like a good board for those not needing 31 miles of battery life (evolve) or the 26-28 mph (evolve) can do but for a solid cheaper board it’s decent, would reframe from bashing other companies who do it better though for future references since this guy seems like backfire gave him a script lol
Thumbs up for the ghostly selfie stick.
i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Kingsley Reginald lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Willie Donald Yup, been watching on Flixzone for since march myself :D
@Willie Donald Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it!
@Kingsley Reginald Happy to help =)

Great review Micah, however please cut out the repetitive music! ;-)

can you do this review on our website?lol,thank you www.backfireboards.com

@@PaulAndHarris we have several used board like 90% new in Germany and USA,if you want the deal,please contact adi@helloskate.com
I ordered mine and it's arriving in a few days. Did you find the size of the front battery an issue for speed bumps and other cracks in the road?

Would get a lot more range riding coffin style, but it really needs mudguards.
Shouldn't be difficult to 3D print some.
This is much faster than my Xiaomi Pro lol. I am keen on E-skareboards just as much as E-scooters & E-bikes too! 😁👍🛹🛴🚲
Micah I just started commuting on the Onewheel pint a few months ago. In your opinion is this board less fun, similar or more fun than that board?
Think I might pick this up for school. The rough roads and rainy days destroyed my G2t. Need something more heavy duty

i have the X1 redux which minus the power boost is the same board. My only complaint is your going to stack up on tires if you ride bad pavement like i do in ny.
Little late here but about to buy the X2. Should I buy the extended warranty or nah?
can't wait for new battery technology ! it will enable us to put in a bigger wheel, motor without sacrificing range !
is it water proof?
Great video. Does the battery bottom out when hitting a speed bump?
Thank you very much! Very informative video :)

So when it does run out of power how easy is it to use as a regular leg pushed board?
Is this safer than the onewheel?
I have the X2 and have to say, the screen on the remote is in no way "easy to read," unless you are good at riding while using a magnifying glass.
How long battery working?

Does it have Cruise control?
Is it quiet?
Why does every video have e crappy music? Just talk and let us hear nature.

Sadly your Discount Code is No Longer a valid Code😢
Did you intend to copy the enertion logo for your emblem? lol.
Would it be rideable in rain and snow? I’d like to replace my scooter for short rides
yes,IP65

Do you think the airless tires will be able to handle rain and snow?

Any skateboard group? I want to join some skateboard group.

Newx2150 is the current promo for this board. Saves $150
Is this a real i dont want to get ripped off 999.00
Did you buy one did you get it
Could you try it on packed sand? Like beach?
