Hey fellow riders I hope you enjoy the video. If you like this board, I have a link in the description you can use to purchase your board and accessories. When you do so it supports the channel. I also have a link in the description for true2lifemerch. Here are a few updates regarding the X3.
đBoards will ship by Nov. 30th for the first orders
đ The X4 deck is a composite deck just like Zealot from a new supplier. the Flex is really good.
đ The Board comes with a 1 year warranty
đ Fast charger is sold as an option with the board: 4A charger vs the standard 2.5A. The board ships with 2.5A.
đšSome of this info was given to me after my review was completed. Stay safe.
Hub motor on an AT board , seriously in 2021!!!
A hub motor core with real pneumatics, that would be a huge leap forward.
acidkhmer possibly I think what Backfire is going for is ease of use and a care free riding experience. With this board you donât need to inflate tires, change belts, adjust belts, remove rocks .... itâs personal preference though. This board is still very comfortable but like I said itâs up to what the rider wants. What is your primary board?
How fast does it charge from zero with 4 am charger?
Caleb Lucio I only have the standard charger.
Backfire x4 is already in productionđ€«đ€«đ€«đ€«đ€«...U.S legal mountain board meets ranger
You are so right about the final opinion,I'm that kind of people.I just want to ride,I don't want to worry about the wheel, the hub or the riot,the belt...so many thing to learn.I just wanna ride easily!
I hear that.
Thanks for a very detailed review... both you and your wife and your boy ride too, that is awesome... Family that rides together, sticks together... peace!
Thanks brother. Yes the family that shreds together stays together đ€ đ€ đđ
Excellent review as always.
Your wife wanting the x3 is relatable. My girl rode my OB with riptide bushings and 7" pnuematics a few months ago and that's what she would like for Christmas. That setup wasn't cheap!
X3 might be the way to go.
spliff de la kong hey brother. Good to hear from you. Yes I agree the X3 is solid and practically maintenance free. Great board I think for what you are looking for. Take care.
Your post made the sale. Bought it after clicking your link. Props on your video!
Daryl McClendon nice enjoy you will like it.
Very well done video. You explained all the features. This is definitely a board worth considering.
Appreciate that. Really enjoyed making this review.
The review we've all been waiting for...
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.
How the hell do you not have every board company sending you boards to review?
hard work and tenacity id assume đđ
Our man is too honest.
My guess is it's because he's a heavier guy that would make the range/ speed look lower than advertised and gives real world specs for that demo.
I agree with you though. Every company should send him boards to review because people his size/ weight wanna know how a board will ride for them.
I appreciate that bro.
Because they no he is aligned with backfire. The Chinese company's all talk with each other share data an info hell some of them are from the same family teamgee/lycaon
I read this all wrong lol
Damn this video is dope AF. You make Backfire look good!!!! I didnât think I wanted this board until I saw this review.
Appreciate it. Really enjoyed this board and making this video.
Dude I just bought my first electric board and already am looking for a nicer AT board and this is exactly the review I was looking for. You and dkwan have got probably the best reviews for eskates Iâve found. Thanks man!
Oh yeah. Also look at the hammer from backfire itâs their belt drive version of this board.
Thank you for the info, very detailed, great job
Thanks brotha! Super informative. Ordering now
Great review. Very clear and to the point! Definitely considering this model
The quality of your vids has come a long way from your older ones. I'm a 200lb guy myself so watching your vids give me a more realistic expectation on how these boards will preform for me. Keep up the reviews.
Really appreciate that. Really enjoy taking eskate and helping people choose boards while being fair as transparent. đ€đ€
Finally got to watch the whole thing, great vid bro! Appreciate the opportunity to ride with you during your tests. Happy to hold a camera for ya!!
j-sun davis my man. Yes it always great to ride and just talk eskate. Hopefully we can links Th is weekend
Great review! Very thorough.
Thank you I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed.
This is vid is super informative.
I am a person that knows nothing about electric boards at all
Thanks for making videos like this for people like me!!!
Thanks so much bro. Really enjoyed making this video. Been rolling on the board when my wife lets me đ€ đ€
Great! Great! Review!!! Coolest family too!! I have the x2 and love it!!
I really appreciate thatâŒïž I enjoyed bringing you guys the video. Thanks for stoping by.
Thank you. First took my first ride . Wow. I love my Boosted, but this is most impressive.
Awesome.
Well Done Broski Well done. I Enjoy seeing you and the family ride together and work together đȘđż
What up bro. I really appreciate that. Yes canât wait to get out with the guys. Been kind of absent because I been riding this and at the time I could not let anyone see it.
Great breakdown man!
GOOD REVIEW GOOD JOB ! ..I SEE YOU TO THE TOP đ
Appreciate it. Thanks you for the support. Glad you enjoyed.
đ„Oof, *back at it* with a *backfire like an addict*
My man. Whatâs up bro. How things been. Man I enjoy this board. Allows me to just chill and ride. Hopefully my wife does not steal it from me đŹđŹ
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent yh I'm good bro. That merch though đ„đ„ the idea alone is dope af and much NEEDED in esk8 đđŒđđŒ Lotta valid points made in this. It's very true that hub drive suits AT better than belt drive solely due to the debris issue. Everyone needs to implement Backfire's utilisation of turbo mode, cos like you say, you can switch it on or off easily with one button instead of cycling through modes. Good luck hidin the board from your family haha.
eBoard3R the board is already gone đđ itâs been my wifeâs board as soon a the review was done. Backfire help me out đ€Šââïž thanks man for the compliment on the merch. I am excited about it.
Great Video Bro. And like you sayed AT boards or set ups is like the best way to enjoy your ride worryless. Thanks for sharing..
Yes itâs so worry free. You can just chill. Good to see you brother.
Appreciate the effort in this vid
Great review! I used your link bought it!
How are you enjoying the board.
Well done MrPhillips, even have merch now! there are a lot of Great All-Terrain contenders out there now between ECOMOBL-M24, Raldey-V.2, WowGo-AT2, Evolve-GTR, & now Backfire-X3, and soon Exway-Atlas this is just going to make deciding a little bit harder for a budget to mid-tier All-Terrain board. But it is Great to see all these companies putting out Great new boards :-)
Christopher Adeler I really appreciate that. Had a lot of fun with this one. Hopefully I can get my hands on some of those boards to test for you guys. Stay safe brother. đđŸđđŸ
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent You toođ€ Enjoy & be well brother.
QUALITY video bro, how do you not have more subs?
Was considering this board for cruising around the beach where things can get sandy and belts would be damaged.
Hello from Cali đ€
Yo west coast đ€đ€. I think thatâs a good idea this board is a great carver and cruiser. A lot of people are saying that. If you decided on the board consider using my link to support.
This board looks good. I'm definitely considering.
It really solid. It is a lot of fun. Provided a completely different riding experience.
Hi Lansing, you give the best reviews! Subbed.
Appreciate it bro. Glad I could help.
Dude this was a great review!!!! No joke I am about to make a purchase this week! I was debating and doing research into different brands and found your video. I used the Meepo electric longboard and want to upgrade to an all terrain style and everything you spoke about covered what I didnât like about my meepo for downtown Charleston. The side walks here are super uneven so the repetitive hits to the feet are a lot so I want some better wheels and these look awesome. I also need a light and meepo hasnât had any in stock for the past couple of years lol.
Great review
Great video! I'm 46 and just ordered this one. Wish me luck! lol
How is it going with the board?
Great review.
Great review man! I just jumped into the eskate world coming from OW and EUC. Watched a bunch of your videos, you do a great job of giving info and keeping it entertaining too. I snagged the BKB Duo but this thing looks like a pretty epic board! Looking forward to watching more of your content brother! Subbbbbbbed.
Awesome! Thank you! How is that BKB treating you? We have been enjoying this X3. Everyone says that the board is officially my wife's though LOL. Who knows LOL
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent First eskate for me, so stoked on it. Been on onewheels for a year or so and snagged a EUC a couple months ago. I ordered the BKB Sunday, had it by Friday. So Ive only had it a few days now. It's crazy powerful and super fun. First ride I hit 26mph on the 120mm clouds and it had so much more power to go. Ill have a build video of it out this weekend and more to come as I come to some conclusions on it compared to Onewheel and EUC. Amazing board though and really great customer service.
@@ELECTRIC-DNA Glad you are enjoying it. Ride safe and have fun.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thank brother, you too! Looking forward to more videos from ya.
Awesome video
I appreciate that. I am glad you enjoyed.
Love this board, picked it up last month. Coming from a Onewheel XR I was able to transition easily and ride with no problems!!
How long did shipping take?
@@EXECUTI0N619 how long did it take to arrive? 2 weeks. How long did it take to learn how to ride it? 30 minutes to an hour riding in a tennis court :).
@@Strik3fr33d0m ahhh got cha. since mine is getting shipped via boat from China I have to wait 30-35 business days lol Itâll be worth the wait. Iâll ride my XR till then lol
@@EXECUTI0N619 mine also was shipped from china, but it arrived allot sooner then expected!! Honestly after riding my Ranger X3 I have no use for my XR and planning on selling it. I just feel way more comfortable and safe, no risk of nose dives is the best feeling.
@@Strik3fr33d0m I hear you. Ima be keeping mine, I like the way it rides and the nostalgia feeling it gives me. Iâm a pretty conservative rider so I donât really nose dive to often.
I canât wait till my X3 Comes though. Always nice to have a variety. And since Itâs a bit more safe I could go faster without the nose dive fear lol
AT's not my thing but well, i'm glad Backfire does stuff for everyone.
My only hope is for a G4 with a dropthrough deck. Only thing missing to my G3 plus
Like you I was not an AT person until this board. Itâs really a care free riding experience. But I am glad I have options. As the video eluded to I really donât have an AT board itâs my wifeâs board đđ
Excellent review, thank you. I had the Ranger X2 and the Evolve Bamboo GTR but gave them both as a gifts to friends. Iâm now on a custom OneWheel XR but miss the feeling of being on an esk8. Hopefully they have a X4 out by the spring.
Check out the Hammer. I will have my review up soon.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I think it is interesting but I'm not a fan of belt driven motors. For all the reasons you stated and personally having my evolve fail in the trails
Just received my X3 and watching your great review once more.
â@gotham158 i don't like belt motors either. I have the meepo v4s. I can push and coast almost just like a normal board, it is much quieter than my buddies belt driven exway carbon. I did just move to Colorado and the roads here suck so he does have a leg up because it is so smooth on his big air tires.
This is the best Ranger X3 review! After hours of reviews I was considering this for my first board. You brought up excellent points on the maintenance and I agree. I have scooters - Kaabo Wolf Warrior 11, but I bought it for stability more than speed (although the speed is amazing). So, stability and smooth strong brakes on the skateboard are most important. I was advised the deck on the X3 is very flexy and with the double kingpin it might be a challenge. Have you ever ridden the X2, if so how did it compare? I hope someone can answer, I am 60 and trust me youngsters, you don't heal fast.
Hey there. I have never ridden a X2 but have you seen Backfired new Hammer. Looks really solid. Z3 is great for comfort and carving around. It is not a speed demon but itâs very comfortable.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thanks for replying. I feel like with the Hammer they are going against what they have been saying as far as hub motors and non-pneumatic tires being a better choice. If I were to go chain, I think I would go with Atlas Carbon 2WD. I have heard it has a very stable and stiffer board, and more stable struts. More expensive, plus you don't get the lights with the Atlas. In either case, both boards are probably faster than I need. If you have ridden an Atlas would appreciate your opinion. Thanks again
I have an x2 I put 800 miles on.
And an x3 I just put 75 miles on. I just started my channel to show the fun I have. Iâm working on making my channel better. I have to replace the battery after 800 miles on the x2. But I love it so much. The board flexes the same as the x2 I recommend the x3 it has a better range and mine came with lights and mudguards.
The only reviewer I trust when it comes to my boards!
I appreciate that. It means a lot. I try and be transparent and fair. I think itâs only fair to the consumer and companies that work with me. Thank you for the support. đđ
Hey man ! Just a head's up to say : fantastic review !
Footage, music, very well organized in your delivery. It was great work ! I enjoyed it very much !
(now I need to know what shoes did you wear, the grey Back to the future 2 style shoes. I need the same !).
You're making me tilt over a Ranger X3 for my next board. I already own a Ranger X1, but had a few bad falls because of the instability of the double Kingpin trucks; so I was a bit miffy about it. I'm solidly attracted by direct drive boards, now, like the Onsra Black Carve (Daniel Kwan made a solid review on it, if you're curious), but since you mention in your review that the Ranger X3 is actually more stable at hi-speed, I might reconsider coming back over to Backfire.
Yes I like the board. A good cruiser and commuter.
another solid review, its getting hard to decide on my next board, a lot of viable options. we will see come xmas time lmao
YMK The Creative I know so many choices. Your next board has to be one like this an AT style. You will like it. You may never ride a street board again đłđ€·ââïžđ
Mr P, as someone wanting to upgrade from my Ranger X1, Thank for your review.
I must also state that along with your beautiful wife and you, of course, Little Jam knows what he's doing on an eboard!
I am one of those riders who does not want to worry about belts. So I am a big fan of hub drive, despite being stuck with no choice in drive wheels.
In conclusion, Mr P, you have again attained the top with this review.
David Linscheid I really appreciate that. Yes my son has really gotten good. I have to tell him to slow down. You should see him on the Zealot. He had a little fall when the guard cut off I wonât say on which board but we donât ride it anymore. It humbled him a little he needed it. He has actually had done a few group rides. Lol I think you will enjoy the X3 I like the simplicity and care free nature of the board. Thanks for stopping by. Take care.
Eyeballing this one! Tempting!
Are you getting the new Zealot?
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Well it's a toss up. Let me explain. I had a really good few months here on CZcams with my last month being the best I ever had with near 1 million views. I'll be using that $$ to buy a couple new cameras. One for the darts reviews and another for when I'm out and about riding.
So... I'm not holding my breath but if we end up getting a stimulus for $1400 I very well might get the Backfire X3. Maybe. If not I will 100% get the new Zealot S. One or the other. Leaning towards the S though đđ»
Congrats on all those new views. Sounds very exciting. I wish you continued success. Where are you based
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thank you. Central NY. So much snow here right now though. đđ
Very good review sir
Thank you.
Just got mine last week, and the reveiw is spot on. it being marketed as dual 1500W motors left me surprised at the lack of power this board has. However, this board and wheels are super comfortable! Definitely going to be my daily cruiser. Instead of getting a Jeep, I got a Cadaillac with heated leather seats haha.
Definitely looking into getting this. Have 2 starter boards and I think it's time to save for a long term board with a strong company behind it
What boards do you have?
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Blink S-R and a JKing 02 which is my long distance rider right now. Hoping to get a great board in 2-3 weeks
Good review I have a OW and looking to get a board
It would be awesome to follow up with the Eovan carbon/standard review. I want to see you weigh in on the hype and maybe compare. Call them up and ask them why they're sleepin on sending them.
The_Wrath_of_Neeson a few people have asked about that board. Seems like a solid board.
LOOKS SICKKK
JMBBPR1987 yes a very fun board.
I recommend the 3 year 3rd party! I bought a used board and it didnât have it. Now Iâm riding an x3 and have 3 years warranty. WooHoo
As usual very good review! I just saw that the Meepo City Rider 2 is available...any chance you could review it? It has some cool features I'm just a little skeptical about quality of Meepo. I have a Backfire Zealot I love but would like to add a all terrain to my stable. Thanks đ
William Parsley would love to check that out for you guys. Maybe shoot them an email requesting/asking if I can check it out. Thanks for the support and for stopping by.
you're awesome bro! how do you do that thing on the back of your board? your newest videos are great by the way
I forget the name. Itâs a rubber tie.
Love the Vid, I have ordered one myself. I have heard a few stories of the trucks being super loose on arrival. Did you find this to be the case?
Thank you for this review ! i just bought mine today and my question is where did you get the orange thing that looks like a handle for the x3?
Itâs a rubberized tie. Any hardware store.
Solid!!!!
I have the mudguards
They are a tad difficult to make everything tight so it doesnât make bonus noises. My recent video is full of clanks I have to chase down.
nice review. looking at purchasing this board. its been a couple of years since this review. how well are the tyres holding up? are those orange zip ties you had on the back for a handle or is it an aftermarket purchase? t.x.
Hello, great review! what is the orange cord you attached to your board? I need one for my ranger x3 too
Hi...really liking your reviews! Hey could you comment on the performance and feel of the Ecomobl ET compared to the Backfire X3 ?? Both are on my short list
They are both cool but they are different. I may need to do a video and compare. It would take a lot to compare them via text.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thatâs awesome đ€© any a update on this video?
Great review! Is the X3 good for beginner riders with little traditional skateboard experience?
Yeah but I prefer a little more torque. So look at their new Hammer that is coming out. Faster and more torque.
Great video and excellent review, what's the song playing while you cruise?
Flawed World my son or me? My son was listening to Trolls Soundtrack đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïžđ€ I have all type of stuff playing. Thanks for stopping by.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent the one about 30 seconds into the video, sorry i wasn't specific
Flawed World itâs a song that I downloaded. I have so many songs. I can try and find it.
Awesome review! Thanks for putting this together. You mentioned the back wheels are wearing a bit more than the front. How much have they worn down and with how much use? Do you expect to have to replace them often?
I'm likely going to buy one and will use your referral link.
Rather Be Outside I think it depends on how you ride and such. When mines arrived I had a prototype. They were worn some. I think they will last a while. Even if you need to replace them itâs good Backfire has US service. You donât have to wait until it ships from out the country.
â@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Cool - I was a bit concerned that you had worn your tires down while doing this review - which I assumed wasn't all that many miles in total. I'm close to 250 lbs and ride pretty hard, so figure best to get a few replacement tires to be safe. I was on the fence between this board and the Evolve GTR - but watching your video (a few times) has convinced me to go with the X3. Cheers from Vancouver, BC.
@@ratherbeoutside5076 đ€đ€
I agree. Best board ever
hey, Phillips, nice vid, buddy, where are you located?
Eovan Board Atlanta. Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Perfect
Appreciate it. đ€đ€
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Btw I am still waiting for the new ESC for my Zealot I told you 1 month ago. I wrote them and they said they will send it again, after already 1 month waiting..
Sebastian what happened to the ESC
If a pebble gets into a belt drive will you hear it straight away or do you totally have to inspect boards to know if there is crap in the belt?
It depends sometimes you hear it other times you donât. This is especially the case if you ride with a full face helmet or you ride with music playing. You may not hear it.
I've just bought this board and as a 75kg 47 year old man from the UK who's been Skateboarding from his teens here's my thoughts.
The board is great fun but it could be better for the UK. It's let down by the remote. It's not designed to be used with a thick glove, for a limited AT board the remote is a street board design for summer use.
ECCO mode is too slow and Sport is over sensitive. There's room for a normal, something that takes you faster at a slower pace off the bat.
The Range in just above freezing is about 8 to 10 miles in rolling Devon hills. In 10 degrees I was getting about 14 so it will be interesting to see what the summer brings.
The mud guards are great but one is noisy so have to sort that out. The tyres seem ok with good grip.
What I'm going to do is update the bushings and replace the bearings with old boy ceramic. We the higher speed even the cheapest ceramic will outperform a steel and let's face it that's where they cut costs.
Backfire should do a full slick because UK roads and streets are rubbish for street wheels. Firstly they need to sort the remote out so the board is really for all seasons.. âïž
When you wear gloves place your index finger on the small groove on top of the remote. Donât put it in the circle thing. Glad you are enjoying the board. đ€đ€
Thanks Patrick. Now I'm wondering if I should cancel my zealot s order đ€Ł
đđđđ€Šââïžđ they are different boards. I think the Zealot S is going to be a beast. If you are worried about comfort you can put cloud wheels in it. đ€đ€meaning the Zealot S
Hi Mr Phillips, in the video it seems you managed to fit the shredlights SL-200 underneath the tail. If so, which mount did you use? The standard, the flat, another one? Thank you!
The board has integrated red lights built in.. I did also mount a shred light on the bottom of the board using a sticky mount.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent A sticky mount, that is the trick! Thanks.
@@kyudoh đ€đ€
Before I Thumbs up.... I have alot of questions. I have the ranger x1 (redux) i got 17 miles range all the time. How much does this board weigh? It looks like they closed the front wheels again???? You really didnt question anything about this board... It sounded if you just read the notes to make backfire look good. top speed is the same. deck is the same..... double kingpin trucks are the same.... i think i may go for the WOWGO AT 2 for my next purchase. Not ot mention that back support has not been very kind too me'
So I know next to nothing about Eskate or even long boarding. The last time i was on a board was the 80s and it was a monster Metallica board. I am looking to pick up a board for weekend runs with the possibility of using it to help with my daily commute.
Would you say this is a good board for a new user to pick up and learn on?
Yes I would say this is a great board to learn on. The board setup allows you to roll over almost anything, the board is comfortable, the controls are smooth and like I said in the video I think it is an excellent commuter board.
Hey, man I was just like you. Hadn't really touched a board since my Vision Shredder in the 80's! I got the first backfire esk8 (Galaxy) and it was ok. After 6 months commuting on it I got the Ranger x1 about a year and a half ago and I love the heck out of it. The only thing I'd swap it for is a better version.
@@Megoodfilmguy thanks for sharing.
Didn't read comments and if it was addressed in your vid my apologies. How well can it free ride ? for those those emergency situations and u don't want to carry it all the way back. Some people ( kids) just don't keep track of battery levels. Being hub as opposed to belt and all.
It good. Board is heavy of course so you will work but thatâs any board this weight. If you have some downhill you are good.
Hey Mr Phillips, would you say this is the best board for a heavy rider to commute on? I have a 7.6 mile commute with about 300 feet of elevation gain both ways. I could charge it while at work to make sure itâs topped off for the return commute. Would you recommend a different board? Your videos are great! Thanks!
How much do you weigh?
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent 225ish
I hear theres a 4x board coming out?? Should i wait or pick this one up?
Hi Patrick,
I just got an evolve bamboo and I can't kick it up unfortunately.
I was wondering where can I find the plastic grab handles I see on your boards and are they any good???
Will you review the Wowgo AT2 at some point too?
ChopstickzMaster I donât know. It is one of the most requested boards on the channel. I would like to do a comprehensive review on it.
Hey gang a few have asked for a direct link to the esk8 hoodies. Here it is remember itâs hoodie/holiday season true2life.bigcartel.com/
Hi dude, we spoke 2 weeks ago and I
ve received my x3 few days ago. My max speed in sport mode is 33 and pretty much the same in turbo mode...Awesome board but a bit of a disapointment about that. Am 90 kg, but i did some test "unloaded" and speed remains the same. Also what d you reckon with the charge? My range is now roundabout 20km. Do you totally drain off your battery for optimal use or is there any limit to keep before charging?
Love your channel dude, you provide really usefull info, keep on rockingđ€
I normally try and charge by two bars left. Sometimes I charge at halfway. Depends really but try not to let get all the way empty. Thatâs bad for battery.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thanks for your answer, really nice man!
Where did you get the grab handles from? I have a heavy diy board and that would be great for moving it around.
Anthony Greenwood rubber ties. Home Depot or Loweâs.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent thanks dude
Anthony Greenwood you know it. đđŸđđŸ
Those motor connectors looks like the ones evolve uses... I wonder if they are hot swappable.
Thatâs a good question. I am sure someone will experiment with it.
đđif so that would be cool. Kinda like the exway set up. Imaginge being able to put the evolve gtr back trucks and moters on...and swap the front wheels too....
Ma Bish that would be crazy. Funny thing is most of these boards come from the same factories. Same motors, ESC... so it may be possible.
If I was buying my first All-Terrain board, would you get this one over anything on the market? I do not want belts. Thank you
Oshie yes. This board is really solid first board. Comfortable easy to learn on and good customer support. My wife loves it she took it from me đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïž I have a link in description. When you use it it supports the channel.
Hi just caught this vid. I'm currently thinking of getting a AT board. Would you recommend this X3 or the Ecomobl ET you reviewed prior? I know the ET has more maintenance on the gear drive but its now on sale for
Scott Sum they are different boards to me really no comparison. ET may be more suited for off road Backfire is a little more comfortable. They are different to me. Really can not compare them.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I understand. Pardon me for being a pest ya but would you have the tiniest of misgivings in buying the Ecomobl ET with your hard earned money? Thanks a bunch!
@@scottsum1319 you will probably be happy with either one of them. Choose the features most important to you. đ€đ€
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thanks brah!
Do you recommend the build kit board over the ranger x3? Thx!!
Michelle Lindstrom they are two completely different boards. Really not much to compare. What features are you most interested in when you purchase a board?
Hi! Would you recommend the Ranger x3 over the Ranger x2? I'm shopping for a Christmas gift!
Jessabeautyyy I like the Ranger X3. You get a lot of accessories with it. Lights, mud guards and a one year warranty. You also have built in lights and unlimited turbo. I hope this helps. If you do decide to buy, consider using the link in description. It supports the channel and allows me to continue to create content.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thank you, just placed my order and used your link!
Jessabeautyyy you guys will like it are you in social media? Would love to see you guys riding. I am on Instagram.
Where did you get the orange handle on the end of the board?
He mentions in a comment from a couple years ago that itâs a rubberized tie. They have them at Home Depot.
I know you said you would like to see more torque out of it. Just to get an idea, on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being crazy torque, what would you rate this at? I know it is based on each person's tolerance, but since you have ridden so many boards, maybe you have a better idea.
It depends on what I a comparing it to. The torque is fine. Take care.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I figured you would say it depends on what you are comparing it to, so I tried to prevent that response with the 1-10 torque scale lol! Oh well, I tried! Thank you though, and have a good weekend
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent How about if you compare to Ecomobl ET
There is a tape around the trucks of my zealot, do I take that off cause itâs starting to peel
I added trampa neumatic 6.5 inch tires on my X1 to lighten it a bit and the better bearings increase my top speed by a couple mph. How heavy do you find the front of the board?
Stanley McCrea the board feels nimble to me. I have no issues. How did you rig the board to accept neumatic tires?
Pretty simple to do. Just purchased wheels from trampa. 6.5 inch urban treads and 9.525 bearing reducers.
Where did you get the handle for the board?
Does the board Drag when letting go off the throttle?
When placing an order with Backfire USA they offer3 different extended warranties package plus another charge to protect the shipping. Does anyone have any feedback on those 3rd party companies and is it worth it?
Asurion is well known.
Hi there. I am worried about the board's weight. According to the specs (deck size, battery, etc), it should be somewhere between 13 and 14 kg (fully equipped, mudguards, lights...). Am I right? If so, how was your overall experience considering the weight? I am not sure about how convenient it is (subway, elevator, etc...) on a daily basis. I know it is an AT board, but for the price, I want to consider all options, not only the off-road capacities, including my daily travel to get to my workplace. Thanks!
virus WARNING good questions. You really donât buy an AT Board for portability. I just weighed the board on my home scale. Itâs 28 pounds. I donât have the mud guards. But I do have Shred Lights on it. You can easily pull the board or lift it for a moment if you need to. Like I said in the video I think the board makes a good commuter. I donât think that mud guards would add too much weight.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent Thanks man, I got your point. Twenty-eight pounds is something (Ranger X2 is only 23.8 pounds). Although, not even closed to a Bajaboard but something I have to consider.
virus WARNING yep jest take your time and buy something you like đ€đ€
X 4 confirmed for the end of this year
Nice vid. You in Cali or ATL?
Trey's Video Art greetings I am in the ATL thanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the video.
What are you using as a handle on the back of the board?
Rubber ties.
Big thumbs up for being one of the first, if not the first, to get your hands on the board and reviewing it! I owned the X1 and it was a solid board. Ended up selling it because acceleration was slow for my taste. Backfire claims the power was upped by 30% but it sounds like it could use a bit more torque.
Yes I have heard that the X3 is suppose to have more acceleration and torque. I donât have an X1 or x2 to compare with though. But from people I have spoken to that have them both the X3 is suppose to have more torque.
Whats that orange thing on the back?
I emailed them and they dont ship to ireland ???
The remote control looks like it will tape good against the grip handle of my AR-15
