I been skating for almost 20 years now and I stood on a backfire zealot today and I must say it was exhilarating. My first time ever riding on an electric skateboard and I’m most definitely considering picking up something from the company. The mini is most definitely more in my price range and I don’t mind the cruiser shape tbh.

I love mine! got it back in January, a few months ago the same problem happened to me. but cause I waited it is now out of warranty and will have to replace out of my pocket. which does suck since I paid 699. for it with the extra travel battery. but I will get ahold of customer service and see how they can help. and great review I wish this video was around when I was going through the buying process.

One of my motors went bad too. They have me the option of sending it in our attention to change it myself. I was successful in doing myself. Here is a link to the video I made about it. Hopefully it helps... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mInUnIypm6aEprc

I own the backfire g3 since march 2020 and I´m happy with it. it`s very durable and I had no connection issuses with the remote at all. the only thing that annoys me a little bit is the power button on the bottom of the board. I always need to hit the button a few times at different angles before the click registers. (seems like there is dust inside the button) so if you buy this board maybe stick tape ontop of the power button so dust doesn`t goes inside.

The financing company Backfire uses is called Affirm. Download the Affirm app. Type in my referral code (backfireboards.com/?ref=k9zjcXCWp1G0) at the very top where it says "Where are you shopping? ". Then choose "Create a virtual card". I used Affirm for both of my boards. Super easy to use and no early payoff penalty. Let me know if you have any questions!

Is the backfire mini waterproof? I’m hearing different answers from multiple sources.
@SeedVisual4 жыл бұрын
Definitely not. None of backfire boards are. They have some water resistance, but you have to remember that the motors are in the wheels. There is no rubber gasket or lining between the end caps and the motors. The battery and electronics cover has a gasket, but after looking at it, I wouldn't attend to ride this board in the rain or through deep puddles.

If you compare it to Meepo Mini 2 ER, what will be the best to buy?
@SeedVisual3 жыл бұрын
I always prioritize customer service over anything else, especially when the features and specs are essentially the same. That being said, I've had multiple great experiences with Backfire's support team. They have warehouses in the US which means quick shipping and they respond the same day in most cases. Meepo normally responds a half day later in the middle of the night.

You are so cool! Thank you for replying! The thing is, I want this Backfire Mini also, but I am here in Jeju, South Korea. One thing I worry about is the shipping. This is my first time to buy so it means a lot to me especially the money that I am going to use because I save money just to buy this one. So about the shipping, how many days it will take to come here?
