[@rob9873]

Here is some data of my own for the Backfire G2 Black 2020: I weigh 216 lbs with gear on, ride in very flat area. Board is in stock configuration with original 96mm wheels. Today I got 10.5 miles of range, the last mile was slow around 10 mph. Average speed was 13.0 mph, max 21.7mph. Temperature: 80F. This was recorded with Strava app. It was a leisurely, carvy ride. I thinks that’s pretty good considering Backfire advertises 11 to 12.5 miles of range, that’s 95% of the lower end range and I am over 200 lbs. I have hit 27 mph top speed on flat road numerous times on previous rides. If I go full throttle the whole time I get about 7.5 to 8 miles of range, which is 73% of advertised range. P.S. I also have an Exway Flex with riot belt drive assembly, 120mm cloud wheels on it. Exway advertises 20 miles of range. I got 11.2 miles today, I rode it right after my ride on the Backfire. That’s only 56% of the advertised range. I rode very similar to the way I did on the Backfire but just a little faster. I had remote set on 3rd gear the whole way(I have turbo turned off in Exway app). Average speed was 15.4mph, top speed 26.4mph. I have hit 30mph on flat road numerous times on previous rides. If I go full throttle with or without turbo turned on, I only get about 8 miles of range, which is only 40% of advertised range. Speed and range recorded with Strava app and Speedmeter app.

They have a service center in West Virginia! If you do experience problems with your board, they can ship replacement parts from there. I had two faulty motors and was back on the road in like 4-5 days lol. Didn’t have to pay for anything under warranty. In business, it’s not about having problems, it’s about how they handle it!

I'd like to start by saying thank you for all your hard work and dedication to providing this informative content. You have not only inspired me to start my own channel but I've now had to purchase this (the galaxy version) and the exway flex based on your recommendations. I used your code on both purchases as well so I hope you get cool stuff or lots of money for it! Always look forward to your videos Daniel and if you're ever in Oregon it would be an honor to ride with you as well. I hope to have some videos for you to give me come critiques on soon and thanks again for everything you do so well sir!

Great review Daniel. Your review was instrumental in my decision to buy the G2 Black. I'm in my mid 40s, new to the sport, and haven't ridden on a skateboard since I was in my 20s (at least). For someone new to the sport, I found the board to be very easy to ride and I got use to it in no time at all. The board has a ton of power, more speed than I need (at the moment). I highly recommend your review of the board, it was very accurate. I also recommend the board itself. Thanks Daniel!

Once I asked Kwan question via email regarding skateboard and I thought meh I doubt he’s gonna answer thought he receives 100 or even 1000 of this amateur question, but he replied and replied in details, for that he own my respect for life. If he even creates his own electric skateboard board company I’ll be first to buy from him. With the knowledge he has he definitely has to open his on company and develop an awesome skateboards for us.

Thanks for the video man. Excellent work! I have a question... I was about to pull the trigger on the AE2 board when I saw your video. The Ae2 has a 10s3p battery as standard so the advertised range is better. Can you please recommend one over the other? The backfire has bigger wheels and has the newer hobbywing remote with the screen, and seemingly better customer service. Is there anything else to consider? Thanks again. Great content!

[@Stanz8]

Great vid! Talking about unbranded cells, do you think the G3 and the Zealot also uses unbranded cells? Usually, when a manufacturer uses great cells like the Samsung 40T or the VTC6, they usually write it out. (like for the G3+ and the Galaxy) but for most other boards, we don't have much info about the cells. We just know that the G3 and Zealot uses 21700 cells.

[@DanielKwan]

Yes but I’m 69% sure it’ll be ok

ATSA has better materials, more pockets, less storage space than Alter Mini, heavier. Alter has fewer pockets, more storage space even in the Mini bag, lighter.

[@Baptross]

I have been binge watching a lot of electric skateboard reviews and yours are by far my favourite. I'm really considering the G2 Galaxy as a first board but I would also like being able to go all terrain. Seeing all the feedbacks from cloud wheels, I'm looking into a quiet board with good range. Aside from the Onsra that is above my price range, I'm considering the Wowgo AT2 but is it really a good board to begin eskating with?

[@DanielKwan]

You can begin with almost any board really. Just make sure the board is suitable for your environment and what you want to do.

[@derekshu7808]

FYI this board isn't in stock at their US warehouse. ETA is about 1 month. Confirmed with them after i purchased, and subsequently canceled. The Galaxy looks like it's in stock though.

[@DanielKwan]

Thanks I just asked about it. According to Backfire their first shipment sold out in 2 days, which they didn’t expect. (Not sure if I can share specific numbers.) Next shipment of G2B is expected to arrive at warehouse later this month. There’s normally a spike in sales near product launch so next shipment shouldn’t sell out so quickly.

How does the torque compare to a WowGo 3? The range definitely is not bad for the price, but if the acceleration and carving are subpar compared to something slightly more expensive, it might not be worth the buy

I've tried searching comparisons of these two against each other, but have come up completely empty (I can find comparisons of both against the same 'other' boards...just not these two against each other). I could REALLY use some help in deciding. What would the pros/cons of each (against the other) be.

E S mine will be here soon but scrolling through reddit there seems to be occasional battery and ECU issues along HUB wheel issues however I got some piece of mind. I found a group near me that has meepo boards and none of them have issues other than one guy with a faster draining battery. The wheels seems to last as long as you don’t go over abusive terrain frequently and the board is really fun. I think when people have issues they tend to go out of their way to the internet and complain so you may say “frequent” issues but that’s the small number of people that had it

[@ES-lk9db]

foof247 ohh good to know. My main concern was the thin pu and I live in the southwest so tons of pebbles no matter where I go. I see over time the meepo motors get damaged and chipped over time and that was worrying. Also I don’t know how long the motors would last around my campus since it is a lot of side walk type Roads.I want something fresh out of the box no upgraded needed. Still waiting to make my final decision.
