Which is better Boosted Stealth vs Exway X1 Electric skateboard DETAILED comparison review

[@DanielKwan]

Great review! Really professional. And I find it interesting you place your feet so far back on the board.

[@Photo_Cyclist]

I was about to say the same thing! Even when the only thing framed are just their legs/feet, you can definitely tell if it's him or his friend riding XD I always thought riding so back-leaning is a fair bit more dangerous.. what do you think? Now I'm watching him I'm realising though that it gives you more room and chance to stretch your front leg further ahead and to brace for a powerful brake.. just thinking out loud :/

[@nicolawilliamsfeng]

you should know that's the skateboard style

[@W0UTER31]

I do this usually to be more stable if I ever had to slam on the brake

[@MSTechie]

I noticed that too

[@il5181]

better than your OVI paid off reviews 🙄 but ya vids good too though when you dont have backfire's kingpin nut on your face

[@kissmyasthma9973]

This is the most professional review I've seen between Exway and Boosted. You deserve more subscribers 🙌🏻

[@averageeskatereviews]

Wow! Thank you !!

[@kissmyasthma9973]

@@averageeskatereviews No problem man, you may not have a lot of subscribers but you got more viewers 🤙🏻

[@junebug9594]

Boosted costs more but you get what you pay for. I have a stealth and I can hit 24 mph with 7% battery left

[@averageeskatereviews]

Despite all of the issues I've had with mine (a lot! and i mean A LOT) I now have two Stealth! Best board I have ridden to date.

[@axezz9451]

You should try the backfire g2t ( 15 miles battery and if you are under 75kg it’s 20miles) top speed 25 and with turbo it’s 28-29 even 30 miles an hour. Wheels are 83 mm and extra ones that come with it are 96 mm also the deck is stiff and bouncy at the same time.

[@masoudafzali5437]

runs out of battery faster when you get battery sag on other longboards you tend to get longer battery, but the choice of going fast or slow is good tho so idk

[@PatRiot-]

That is impressive. For those wondering about the Ownboard- i can account that the mini KT 6.0 also performs its top speed at low battery levels at around $500- something to consider for those wondering if they must spend to $1,000+ to get quality and performance. Also- i am uncomfortable with the major gap visible at 8:14...ownboard KT is at a higher standard than 8:14

[@kiansk8143]

Bro you can buy a meepo board that costs 700 and you can go 55kph and it has alot more so shut up man

[@OKieYoSHigHhost]

This was extremely informative and thorough man! Amazing review! Usually don't even sit through a video this lengthy and view it in it's entirety (without skipping or stopping short) but I did for this one. The Exway X1 Pro has been a goal for me for a while and video just served to further reenforce that it's a great choice

[@SirDucc]

There is another board, backfire g2t, it through my testing can go 29-30 (I am only 140 pounds) and it has about the same acceleration as boosted. I get 10 miles of range in the fastest mode and around 12 to 14 in eco depending on the roads. I raced everything from meepos to raptor 2s and it goes well against almost all of the high end boards.

[@PowerOnFun]

I’ve also noticed the same differences in riding over established dividing road lines as well. Great review of two great boards!

[@averageeskatereviews]

Big thanks!

[@samuelportz-1310]

I live in Seattle Washington this is such a helpful review even two years later damn very detailed and expressive definitely going with boosted

[@michaelturner7901]

The video was very well done. Many advantages that are mentioned but when living in a rainy area, the Exway x1, x1 Pro is the way to go without weather concern.

[@jacobskjdtsrensen9425]

I have the boosted stealth. It’s so good and i love it. I Can get up to 44kmh. The only problem is the range. I get around 16km and thats good but i would love to drive around 30km full speed.

[@warrenwb8349]

I have a Boosted Stealth and I love it. I love the functionality of the remote wheel to go forward, brake and reverse. I personally don't see the need to tweak it. I got used to it fairly quick. I think it gets difficult to get used to when you have experience with so many remotes that function differently. My first board was a Genesis hellfire (basically a Koowheel) with a very simple remote with a simple up and down switch to go forward and break. Going from that to the Boosted remote it was a huge step up and felt intuitive. Since then I've used the 2nd gen evolve remote and i hate it because its such a departure from what i'm comfortable with. I do appreciate the different options for people. I also think the video did an amazing job of explaining the pros and the "cons" of the boosted remote.

[@Ryan-vl2nn]

It seems like so-called ‘top speeds’ have a good deal of variation just as your video demonstrates. That being said, I absolutely love my Boosted Stealth. However, the difference between the stock 85’s compared to the ultra pricey OEM 105’s is night and day in regards to quality of ride. I first replaced my 85mm with Boosted’s 90mm [which was a marked improvement] only to then acquire 2 sets of 105mm wheels. And I highly recommend the 105mm wheels. Especially if you live in a major city where the street conditions can definitely be less than optimal.

[@thomasjepsen6750]

Great video! Have you thought about reviewing budget boards? Such as the Backfire, Wowgo or ownboard? Most of these budget boards are hub motors and not belt. Maybe you could compare the two motor types? I know id like to see how much of a difference there really is between high end and budget boards.

[@jacobravanal1184]

I’m a hockey tutorial viewer and hockey player AND Boosted Board owner and never thought in a million years I would see Chris make a Boosted Board video Cheers!

[@averageeskatereviews]

Unreal! small world huh! Big longboard fan and been riding awhile.

[@Photo_Cyclist]

You're the first one who finally addresses the fact that belt motors betray a very evident latency between the input and the actual acceleration, comparing to hub motored boards. Was on reddit and on youtube for MONTHS before buying my Flex-E back in November, and no one ever mentioned it. Of course said latency is directly proportional to the speed you're already going before giving the input: from still, it'll be 0, but if you give the input already going at 30km/h it'll literally take 3 long seconds to kick in. At least on the SR Flex-E. So apparently this doesn't happen at all on hub motors? I'm asking since I never owned one. Man your contents are golden, think I fell in love with your channel. Keep up the great work, and waiting for a honest review/opinion on your experience with your Flex-E! Cheers from Italy ;)

[@omega_dip_wod]

I wish i could come to your hood and go on a cruise with you! lol I got the standard v2 boosted but I'd love to try the stealth. Awesome breakdown video by the way! Come ride in the U.S. someday!

[@averageeskatereviews]

One day soon :) always up for flying. Summer time for sure

[@DJ_ALDRO]

For anyone in the US, consider getting the boosted board through Best Buy. You could get the extended warranty and ride with peace of mind. I originally got the Boosted Mini X, but after one motor started to rattle I exchanged it for the boosted Stealth, only paying the difference.

[@orlandomarinjr]

Boosted Support is amazing. They basically exchanged the entire Motherboard and motors on my V2 last year when it was out of warranty for free.

[@lukenelson556]

No way, I watched some of your hockey videos, and now found you again through looking at buying a boosted board (or a cheaper alternative!) good videos man!

[@PoIabear]

Dude. This was extremely well done. You're probably the only guy who kept me hooked and just how well you go into detail and a lot of good points. Well done!

[@fredoknowsbest]

I don't know if it's the English accent or the professionalism but this is one of my favorite reviews. I'm a NYC KZbinr and you have definitely made me want to step my game up exponentially. I'm buying the Evolve Carbon GT next week so I'll put out my review. Let's collab on a video. I'll fly out to the UK no problem. Keep doing your thing bro. You have a new subscriber.

Big thanks ! Working on more material as we speak. More than happy to do a collaboration. Thanks again.

[@fredoknowsbest]

@@averageeskatereviews sounds great I'll stay tuned for more videos.

[@jonassvensson1819]

Hello, the delay in Boosteds acceleration is not do to the belt drive, in fact the gear ratio is what makes it strong, but the software including the jerk filter which is to protect you if you accidentally pull the trigger. The hub motor boards sometime fool you into thinking they accelerate fast because of the sudden jolt but lack in torque and power.

[@aeyet8184]

Good review. Covered all the points I think about when riding my TeamGee H5 board. Due to budget I will still buy the Exway first however your points about the Boosted make it a good idea to save up for. Just the ride comfort dealing with stones sells it for me. Thanks for all the details and looking forward to the next review.

[@sannaandersson1975]

[@GilbertTang]

Superb. Remarkably thorough and useful, especially relative to the other stuff out there. You clearly know the boards well and you're excellent at relating your experiences. I'll be searching your channel for more on the same subject.

[@DJ_ALDRO]

I already own the boosted stealth but I still find myself watching all types of videos on it. It's most likely confirmation bias, basically confirming my big purchase, but I am always so happy to hear good about it. I use it daily and it changed my life. Love it!

Really like your reviews! Have you tested the evolve boards already? Love to see a review about that one. Maybe boosted vs evolve?

[@Jemmeeeettoooo]

You're videos are great man! Just bought the exway and I'm pretty impressed!

[@juggernaugh75321]

Reversing on the boosted is very easy though to break. It feels very natural and easy to stop I have never had an instance where it has caused the board from going out from under me. That's the main reason the Exway is one of my favorite boards it let's you change it so that you can reverse with the wheel similar to the boosted.

[@Kaikojo]

For the boosted's more aggressive reverse helping with downhill braking; is it possible to put the exway in reverse quickly on a steep hill to achieve this as well? Or would the remote not allow for a back, brake and forward, I would have to choose 2?

[@TimeSpace1]

Bro, excellent review! Quick question... when you say boosted does not have a brake.. what do you mean? If i scroll the wheel back slowly will I begin to stop?

[@averageeskatereviews]

Scrolling back is reverse. Scrolling back slowly will of course stop the board but you need to keep in mind the wheels will eventually begin to spin backwards. Takes a little getting use to.

[@aidenshearman974]

When I ride my exway I can get about 14 miles on the highest setting with turbo mode and hills to use the regen breaking

[@moonar5820]

How much do you weigh?

[@wildkev1010]

I really would like to get an electric skateboard either long or short, but don't have the cash to drop $600 on a board right now. Are the boards on Amazon for right around $200 any good? Some of them have like 5 stars with 10-20 reviews from actual people it seems like. Just wondering if it's too good to be true. If anyone knows please lmk I would love to grab a cheaper board!

[@chalexen2862]

Boosted was consulted by hackers back in 2015. Since then they've improved the bluetooth strength which enables you to go through dead zones, and upgraded security so you won't get hacked.

[@bhitt51]

This review really isnt fair, since you are reviewing the newest version boosted board, and when the Exway 1 now has their second version for a couple months out already. Secondly a board with 80 miles on it is still VERY new so it still has that new "omg its brand new i must treat it royally" persona from it. Since your video has gotten so much traction i think it would be best to add an edit or maybe for exway to send you the exway x1 pro and also with riot mode. since in my opinion exway x1 pro really is as good or better than boosted stealth, love to see you review those too as you do an incredibly detailed review so really solid on that part!

[@averageeskatereviews]

Hi Brian, We've got the X1 Pro being delivered on Monday of this coming week. We will begin working on multiple x1 Pro videos including VS Boosted Stealth. We'll hold off doing anything with the riot until it's finished and out of the prototype stage. Plus, I'd like to see how much it will cost. That is super important to consider. We had no idea there was a new Exway coming when this video was made but we're fully on top of it. Really appreciate the kind words and intend to keep making more videos.

[@danskifpv]

Try to diversify your topics to increase the rate of that growth, and keep up the great content. :)

[@Nathraichean]

The premium of exway is the carbon fibre deck (not sure about that) and the extremely low profile of the board. As you can see, the thing doesnt have any boxes on the otherside and looks 95% like a normal board whereas the boosted has bulky boxes on the bottom. The exway isn't meant to compete the boosted, it is made to be its own thing.

[@jokwonpope1561]

I don’t think you brought up how the exway also has the ability to. Spin the wheels backwards to stop as well as has the ability to customize how the breaking on the board works which the boosted doesn’t.. is the boosted board better, yeah .. is it 2x better, not really

[@bmwolfe2786]

the boosted has instant fast acceleration. the belts usually have way better acceleration than hub motors. are you saying the exway hub motors actually can accelerate and break like the boosted? Very curious. Also, is the exway similar to the Inboard M1. it looks almost identical

[@averageeskatereviews]

It is not instant acceleration with the Boosted. I have both the Exway and Boosted as you can see from this video.

[@TheEPICskwock]

You really should get, (and review), a onewheel. I think you would really enjoy it, a much smoother ride. It does have a steeper learning curve then electric longboards but it really isn't that hard.

I hear you but don’t compare a board like Boosted to Backfire. They are not the same thing at all. Not saying Boosted are the best but they are certainly not in the same class as Backfire
