hi danny i previously own an evolve gtr.i love the board with 120 cloudwheels.i saw the lacroix jaws looks like a hot board.i dont really ride fast i like cruise city streets and parks and i dont want oversized board like nazare how do you think i would like the jaws.i rode with you guys in the city jerry and tishawn and nyc crew great rides.the jaws has nice size battery and i think gonna like better then gtr the ride.thanks for any info.
You just earned a new subscriber you are very informative I would love to see you do a review on the verreal V1 I own one of these they are a lot of fun
Batteries like this just don't "give out". They slowly die, and you notice it in the throttle response long before it's so bad you can't get home. I didn't put a battery display in my build, either. I just read the voltage through the charge port. I'm making a compact multimeter you can just quickly plug into the charge port, and get your voltage.
The good point is that you can easily modify it with DIY parts. For example replacing the remote by a nano X will just take 2min. replacing the bluetooth module by a Metr one will take just fez minutes more to get complete telemetry :)
The nano X has it's own set of problems. Unless a remote is 100% reliable and durable, it's pretty much useless. There are countless reports of the nano x's problems. www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/im-done-with-nano-x-remotes/71826
Awesome review. Very thorough. Samsung produce the screen for apple so evolve should make their remote compatible with other boards, and evolve should use the foc box unity lol. Also being a performance board I think they should have brutal acceleration from standstill. Esk8 should have a new spec equivalent to 0 to 100. 0 to 30kmh maybe.
Wonderful job on the vid brother. I wonder what y’all would prefer given the choice between a slightly used prototipo vs a new jaws 2.0. I like the mobility of the 34” length proto as the weight and speed are similar. I know jaws 2.0 has newer components but Proto has more range. What would y’all choose if the price was about the same. And if y’all liked style about the same….???
"Difficult to turn and navigate through street corners." Does this mean it's not a fun one for slow cruising around town? Torn between this one and the MetroboardX after trying an evolve GTR but wanting something with wider trucks.
How is the sensitivity on the remote? The thumbstick doesn't seem to have much distance from neutral to max. I'm afraid of full throttling or sharp braking too easily.
The battery and electronics are in a carbon fiber enclosure meaning most remotes will disconnect , the V2 is reliable and easy to use with practice. Bottom line, it works extremely well as anyone that rides a Lacroix will tell you though some have switched to other remotes for comfort none have done so because of connection issues and that is what counts.
Nice video Danny. When I test rode the board the day of the meetup I didn’t like the remote and the way it comes to a stop when you brake. Also there is no throttle control. I think boosted makes the best remotes.
Thanks! Boosted is the gold standard for a remote. I would easily prefer your boosted remote. If I can find a better remote/receiver combo for this board, I would like to change it.
Josiah Spano yes. I’ve ridden a Lacroix but haven’t yet bought one. Partially because it just needs some fine tuning to make it worth it for me. I would expect a Focbox Unity, a more premium remote and a few other little changes to be made in Lacroix 2. That would make it a very compelling product indeed and would be enough to push me over the edge! Oh and we need a retailer in Australia ASAP please Lacroix!!
The remote is known for that.. if you running low on juice it will start flashing.. The remote behavior can be adjusted in Vesc tool even on braking but this is something normal in FOC mode which these are running at.. many times boards won't even let you to run to full stop. the power button i usually use nail clippers and completely take cut off.. only little piece usually sticks out and that helps the Battery inside move and sometimes breaks the cable.. hence best is to put some hot glue in and while at it.. also move the lanyard line around the screw hole as that is more solid while you put bigger gear on it you get more top end speed but less braking power and less torque now if you compare this to other boards.. such Evolve which has cool Remote that no one can really trust and even after redesigning that, still no one can truly trust..

Hy friend... i saw your review... i just wana say.. about the braking issue.. i fixed brakeing and accelerating on Raptor 2 with useing the BLDC Tool and plug it in at Master Focbox. you can adjust the slow speed and high speed brakeing. And a lot more cool stuff. the Focbox cant be perfect for any rider. But im sure you will find your perfect settings.
Thank you. Is that another add on I'll have to purchase? I already opened my enclosure twice and don't want to do it too often as the screw inserts gets loose.
@@DannyWuchannel YOu have never used the windows VESC tool to set your board up? The app where you can set every single thing as you wish? Though the jerk problem at very low speed is something present, it really happens only at speeds 3 miles per hour and less. You saying you need to get used to the brakes... No you don't you just set them the way you want, you have settings for braking in high speed and settings for braking in low speeds... But with that crappy remote it is hard to control you need to get APS remote or GT2E(B)
Thanks for the video.. I've been lookin at getting a board.. and this one is at the top of the list.. My only concerns are obviously the remote.. which everyone seems to complain about. The other "issue" is battery life.. how many charges will it take before replacing the batteries is necessary. Thanks again..
One of the biggest thing this board need is the exway remote and ESC if you could customized every settings from acceleration to braking then you have a winner 👍
You dont need the Exway ESC and remote to do that, this board is based on Vescs so you can just plug in a USB or add a metr module to it and control everything. You have much more control over it then on a Exway.
Awesome review bro! You must have spent a lot of time creating the vid (i know because it took some time for me to create my own review of an eboard). I want to hear your thoughts on a kaly nyc as well! :)
Thanks. Glad to give my review on it once i get my hands on borrowing a board. There's a new kaly 2.0 board coming out in Spring that i want to test out.
I bought a ebay no-name eboard with All Terrain wheels for $300 and it came with this same remote, except the one I had displayed a green led for full battery and would go red around 50%. It was literally inside the case and the only way you could see it was thru the gaps in the case and the USB port or the switch on the bottom. I wonder if this remote does the same? Anyway even on the no name board I hated the remote because the range of motion was too small and too sensitive for the power. I really like the rotary remote that you showed on your review, I have that one too and I love that remote. I commute almost daily on these boards and am looking to upgrade to a premium board, but for my own safety I need a great remote. Excellent review!
@@DannyWuchannel cool man thanks! It's funny since I sent this message A lot has happened. I bought a LaCroix and I've been on the Forum with you and others and watching the videos Happy New Year bro
Hi i also live in nyc and i have been thinking about buying this board but i have been concerned about nypd giving me a hard time since there is such a grey area. Have you had any issues riding in nyc with this board ? thanks
nice review Danny, It's only my second E-longboard but look up a company called crownwheel (Alibaba) I've been using there C5 board and I am very impressed with it so far (similar to an exway x1) and would recommend its well worth a look. they also do an AT board called a C6 that maybe interesting to some, with hub motors ( not belt driven) but a bit on the heavy side.
hi, sry its a little long, perhaps I should attempt a review on the board,,,,,,,, I like the boards overall performance, good range with its 6.4ah battery, a top speed of up to 48+/- kmh (odometer reading on the remote/rpm of motors?) I average 35kph on the third H setting, luckily it has a good 4 speed controller with soft start on all but the top setting Lo, Mi, Hi and Hi+, it also shows the battery and remotes charge, forward/reverse, distance and has cruise control, (possible to use an app on your phone but haven't needed or used it) 90mm hub motors/exchangeable wheel/tyres. its carbon fibre deck is nice too as its easy to wipe down, and weight is about 6.7kg, the only dislike is that you feel every thing due to the carbon deck but it is tolerable. I would say it resembles an exway x1 in appearance but close up its quite different due to the trucks 90mm hub motors and wheels, its been reliable so far but have only used it daily for about 1 month. its also ip54 rated and has been ok when I have been caught out in the rain (not recommended riding in the rain I've had too bail on two occasions (slippery), and both were close shaves). lastly I chose it for its reasonable price compared to other boards at the time.
@@einsteind sounds like a very nice board! Glad you like it. I always tell people to know their budget and get the best value board within that budget.
Great review! So the remote and the addition of a battery indicator (for both the remote and board) are the only additions they need to make? Perhaps some medium thread locker on the enclosure screws too :-) Other than that, this is a monster of a board, they should be proud of what they've made so far! #prototipo
Yes. For me, the biggest is the remote and a battery indicator. Next is a way to carry/transport it more easily. I prefer to lift it on one end and roll the other end on the ground. With the weight distribution, the motor side should be on ground level. I can't do it with the current design because the motor mounts would drag on the floor.
Danny Wu I really like this board, thanks for the review, what is the water resistance like? How would this compare to the Kaly NYC trumps board and the Enertion Raptor 2?
@@jeffclermont2360 Haven't really test it on any wet conditions. I don't intend to ride it when the grounds are wet for safety reasons. Kaly will have more torque/power and more clearance to go offroading while Lacroix is more comfortable and a great cruiser. I have not tested teh raptor 2 but I don't think it's in the same tier.
The problems with the remote and the fact that two of the screws became loose after just brief usage makes me wonder about the workmanship that is put into the board. This is unacceptable at this price! This board should be beyond perfect.
$2300 USD or $2600 USD depending on range. This is before shipping cost. Depending on your country, there might be additional costs added on top of that.
It does not have the same dampening or rebound as spring suspension, the remote is terrible, they semi copied Trampa boards, it's expensive as heck, if you get the Samsung 30q batteries then you will just have to replace them in the not so distant future, ect. but it looks fun! *These people need to STOP saying that E-boarding is like snowboarding, it's NOT at all like snowboarding. Like What the heck!? ! ! *
It's decent but depends on the rider. I find it difficult to turn while going slow to navigate around street corners. It turns better at medium speeds.
Are you referring to me? I am neither, just a consumer. If you want to see or hear from the inventor, you can check out my other video where I interview the co founder.
lol. Yes, there is a soda brand with the same name. Lacroix translates into "the cross." I think it's a location/icon/monument or something related to in Montreal.
It adds to the stability at higher speeds. Looks and feels pretty solid, no issues from me or other owners so far. I think it's been tested as a quality truck from a reputable company.
Any drop board will look great on any wheels but belt driven motor should be banned in 2019. There's no excuse. For casual user, you can get a AE Board with AT tires and street wheel hot swap for $600 running on hub drive motor.
The Problem with direct drive is, that you have no oppertunity to increase the torque on the wheel. With belt driven you can accelerate better at the hill over the gear ratio(2.4:1 ratio means, that you doubled the torque from the motor), dood.
This is a problem with a lot of company that makes stuff they never God dam ask another's skate borders how and what they want but just built that shits and spent all that money and bankrup
I've owned this board since it was released and I STILL cannot believe how CRAPPY the remote is. I wish I would've waited until Alex started using the Hoyt puck but I just didn't know....
Been ripping the pavement for over a year and zero issues with the remote. I bought the Evolve Bamboo GTX one week before the LaCroix arrived and haven't rode it since! Like nothing else! czcams.com/video/yBN_MZ6xfBQ/video.html
For all you ladies complaining about the Nano V2 remote, I don't get it. Kaly.nyc use it, Enerion ship it w/ the Raptor 2. No LCD screen but who cares? It's a very reliable remote. My mate has an F40, it has no inside door handles (just string), one window winder, no AC & no power steering & it's still the greatest fucking car ever produced. Bells & whistles don't mean a thing. The best remote is one you have complete confidence in & you're not worrying about while doing 50+ kph on a board. It could use a battery indicator on the board though, would be annoying if you can't use the app.
@@PhotoBoothStartUp I agree that its a great remote. The separate brake/accelerate is love hate. I havent experienced disconnection issues, so I guess I am one of the lucky ones. But its battery life is absolute garbage. So yeah, its a great remote with some issues.
that remote is a deal breaker
How about buying the remote you want...? You can put in any 2,4 ghz remote pretty much
Same. Why ruin a great board with such a shitty remote? Seems like a poor choice, sure I can buy another remote but that’s not the point.

9:11 Telematic app for iOS works best. PS: There is something not right with your Bluetooth module.
The problems with the remote and the fact that two of the screws became loose after just brief usage makes me wonder about the workmanship that is put into the board. This is unacceptable at this price! This board should be beyond perfect.
Good review! How much is the board?
$2300 USD or $2600 USD depending on range. This is before shipping cost. Depending on your country, there might be additional costs added on top of that.
Price?
you should try a trampa with helical gear direct drive skate board
Bruv, great video but you need also need to blink during your intro. =p
It does not have the same dampening or rebound as spring suspension, the remote is terrible, they semi copied Trampa boards, it's expensive as heck, if you get the Samsung 30q batteries then you will just have to replace them in the not so distant future, ect. but it looks fun!
*These people need to STOP saying that E-boarding is like snowboarding, it's NOT at all like snowboarding. Like What the heck!? ! ! *
How did this hold up for you?
the limit does not exist
Wow a skate board.named.lacroix.wow.just wow.
Dope ass review bro. Where can I buy one of those? and how much does it coast?
Thanks! They are sold at Lacroixboards.com, $2300/2600 USD before shipping
Damn! for real?
Damn for four grand I would’ve hoped for a better remote
Does it have a good turning radius?
It's decent but depends on the rider. I find it difficult to turn while going slow to navigate around street corners. It turns better at medium speeds.
Electric skateboard is nice, but I am more of an inline skating and unicycle guy. Every time I got a good sweat from it.
why does it hurt your feet?
Great review. And honest 👍 I'd love to get my hands on one. Looks like the Canadians got this one right 🤙
Everything is good, but this remote😥🤢
And why do they have so big wheels and you cant go on other terrains.
It's mainly for the ride comfort. The board can't do AT because the deck/enclosure is low(compare to trampa decks) to the ground.
This guy is the inventor or the main investor of this board!
Are you referring to me? I am neither, just a consumer. If you want to see or hear from the inventor, you can check out my other video where I interview the co founder.
i dont see myself carrying this huge shit in the subway
I'll wait for something better to come out
There will always be something better coming out. This is still a very new hobby.
This board is very wierd. It had some very premium hardware, but is build like a diy project. You can definitly upgrade it easily as a diy builder
raptor 2?
That is whyI am not ordering one yet. They are behind on the one important thing, the controller. They are definitely going to fix that part.
If you rode the board, you'd understand that the remote is fine.
Hey it's Jeff
No battery indicator? You got to be kidding.
That’s the cheapest looking remote I’ve ever seen
Badest Remote ever!!!!!! Check Evolve....best Remote ever.....!!!!!!
They named it after that Skim soda, that right there is just ......no thanks.
lol. Yes, there is a soda brand with the same name. Lacroix translates into "the cross." I think it's a location/icon/monument or something related to in Montreal.
Lol. You're a muppet Vermillion
@@MaVeRiCk77 thanks
@@namelessvermillion8188 You're welcome
Those trucks look questionable... They are way too wide. I hope they are really strong. Also the whole board just looks thrown together...
It adds to the stability at higher speeds. Looks and feels pretty solid, no issues from me or other owners so far. I think it's been tested as a quality truck from a reputable company.
Okay, that's good to hear. Btw great review man. Very detailed. I'm sure your channel will blow up in no time.
Thank you!
Any drop board will look great on any wheels but belt driven motor should be banned in 2019. There's no excuse. For casual user, you can get a AE Board with AT tires and street wheel hot swap for $600 running on hub drive motor.
The Problem with direct drive is, that you have no oppertunity to increase the torque on the wheel. With belt driven you can accelerate better at the hill over the gear ratio(2.4:1 ratio means, that you doubled the torque from the motor), dood.
This is a problem with a lot of company that makes stuff they never God dam ask another's skate borders how and what they want but just built that shits and spent all that money and bankrup
I've owned this board since it was released and I STILL cannot believe how CRAPPY the remote is. I wish I would've waited until Alex started using the Hoyt puck but I just didn't know....
You can easily replace the remote with the Hoyt Puck that Alex sells at his site. It's $120 and there is a CZcams video on how to replace it.
Been ripping the pavement for over a year and zero issues with the remote. I bought the Evolve Bamboo GTX one week before the LaCroix arrived and haven't rode it since! Like nothing else!

Is it true this board is a shock blocker? LMAO
All remotes on these boards are a let down. Evolve boards same issue I read.
u don't need a batt-meter u use an app
The app wasn't working at the time because there's a problem with the bluetooth module inside the enclosure. I have manually fixed it since then. :)
Das Ding fährt 70 hab das selber
For that money you would expect a good remote 👎 and not waterproof 🤷♂️
Im blown away by how cheap looking that remote is
For all you ladies complaining about the Nano V2 remote, I don't get it. Kaly.nyc use it, Enerion ship it w/ the Raptor 2. No LCD screen but who cares? It's a very reliable remote. My mate has an F40, it has no inside door handles (just string), one window winder, no AC & no power steering & it's still the greatest fucking car ever produced. Bells & whistles don't mean a thing. The best remote is one you have complete confidence in & you're not worrying about while doing 50+ kph on a board. It could use a battery indicator on the board though, would be annoying if you can't use the app.
Evolve new remote is a million times better.
@@PhotoBoothStartUp If you love disconnects.
One of the worst remotes ever made. Many people get hurt because of that unreliable garbage.
I get that its a great remote. But for such an expensive board, I feel like it needs something to compliment the board's class.
@@PhotoBoothStartUp I agree that its a great remote. The separate brake/accelerate is love hate. I havent experienced disconnection issues, so I guess I am one of the lucky ones. But its battery life is absolute garbage. So yeah, its a great remote with some issues.
I can make something similar for the third the price.
No you can't. It is funny that I hear this all the time though. If you muppets could then you would but you can't so you don't.
@@MaVeRiCk77 I made an electric mountain board
@@Jon-rc2yy Congrats, components?
@@MaVeRiCk77 well you just said that nobody could make somthing like this and I already have
@@Jon-rc2yy list your components for $850
Definitely not worth it with such a crappy remote. Even budget board's have better remotes.
All that money spent on a beautiful board and it comes with a dollar store style remote. Total deal breaker
Mobile Gaming look at the new ones
한국인 인가여?
아니
Wait, that's the remote. 🤣🤣 nice board but the remote 😶
"Pump The Gas" lol How about.... "Hit The Throttle" :P
Oh look another crazy rich Asian who can afford a $5,000 dollar wood board with wheels. I mean gimme a break
