Backfire Mini Electric Skateboard after 100 miles

[@nonyabusiness7276]

I am only 4 minutes into the video and this is already the best review of this board I've seen yet. The information and visuals are stellar, thank you.

[@SeedVisual]

Hey I really appreciate that. I love making Esk8 videos. More coming soon! Be sure to subscribe if you aren't already. Thanks!

[@anthonymandanici7234]

yeah I agree

[@armonsekhavat559]

I know you are small right now, but you're producing these videos at the same level as these other big youtubers, so just keep it up and you'll get there!

[@SeedVisual]

We really appreciate that! Thank you! More videos coming soon!

[@DONTCRASHJET]

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.

[@SeedVisual]

I like it a lot. The size and form factor are super convenient. Los of fun. Please be sure to use our referral code if you decide to pull the trigger at no cost to you!

[@ajgrizz6343]

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.

[@SeedVisual]

Sorry to hear that. Super unfortunate. Happened to my second motor too. Still under warranty when that over happened too, luckily. Thanks for the support!

[@BackfireBoardsOfficial]

Thank you for your supporting,and I will transfer your reagrding to Jerry

[@SeedVisual]

Jerry took care of me once again in a matter of hours. He sent a new motor that will hopefully be here soon. I'll have another video about it coming soon!

[@jeffbob4332]

Mine was destroyed by a tiny leakage and was given hub motors to change but its impossible to change. Was really disappointed with this board

[@SeedVisual]

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

[@effilya7739]

Nice video! Just ordered one, looking forward to getting it. A part from the issue with the motors would you say it is a durable board?

[@SeedVisual]

So far, absolutely. The new motor replacement has already come in. I'm going to do an install video on that soon! Stay tuned.

[@elinavance3476]

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.

[@kcazbrowns5824]

Try out the hunter board it's the top of the line

[@sutrotka3828]

Love the video! I plan to buy a board right now using your referral link, but can’t find the option to use the monthly payment. Do I have to contact support?

[@SeedVisual]

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!

[@richguev]

How’s the mini holding up now?

[@garethsamuel3737]

Where did your other backfire mini video go? It was a great reference for anyone changing their motor!

[@SeedVisual]

I'm about to re upload it with a new audio track. I had an issue with the "royalty free" track I used from epidemic sounds. They were putting ads on my videos without my consent. Sorry for the inconvenience. Upload coming ASAP

[@garethsamuel3737]

@@SeedVisual Great!..I have a Backfire Mini and currently working on a review. Is it ok if I share a link to your video? It's a really handy video for anyone having motor problems! Ps Did you have any issues with the brakes once battery life was below 50%?

[@SeedVisual]

Definitely feel free to share my video. Thanks! Regarding the brakes... I haven't noticed an issue when in sport mode. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know.

Great review😁😁😁😁

[@SeedVisual]

Much appreciated! 🙌🏽

[@williammuff5485]

lol here for all the "helmet" comments...

[@SeedVisual]

Haha, I picked up a Thousand helmet and have been rocking it proudly.

[@usuariouser224]

Great. Solar panels to charge?

[@SeedVisual]

I personally don't have them, but I have seen them. Maybe some day...

[@ianhemphill861]

Do you have discount code for Mini or just the referral link?

[@SeedVisual]

Using my link (www.backfireboards.com/?ref=k9zjcXCWp1G0), the price is currently $549. Whereas if you go to backfireboardsusa.com, you will see that the price is actually $599.

[@drewscatterday8020]

What made you choose the backfire mini over the exway wave? I'm in the market for a shortboard and have been comparing both of them

[@SeedVisual]

Exway Wave is a much newer product. Didn't exist when I purchased the Backfire Mini. I'll have to check it out.

[@OllyRobertss]

That thing looks fun!

[@SeedVisual]

Seriously is a blast to ride!

[@vulegrujic8114]

My battery died within eight months abd 400 miles ... backfire censors comments on their website and their support told me it’s common for their batteries to die like that and I’ll just have to buy a new one .

[@alexalex-xk8mr]

Is the backfire mini waterproof? I’m hearing different answers from multiple sources.

[@SeedVisual]

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.

[@joemedic710]

Nice Vid!!! Helmet!!

[@SeedVisual]

Thanks! I'm working on it. Apparently I have a massive head. Can't find one that fits well.

[@Andersen0127]

Hey i was wondering how the free role is on the backfire mini?

[@SeedVisual]

It definitely has some. Basically the same as the G2T. The nice thing about the Mini though is if it rolls, you can always turn with the kicktail to combat it.

[@thuongdo9210]

This come with smart turn on feature on remote!?

[@SeedVisual]

Unfortunately does not.

[@OdinsGrim]

How is this going up hills? can this go up hills with ease?

[@SeedVisual]

As long as you have more than 20% battery, it can go up a pretty steep hill with 220+ lbs (my kid in her wagon, and I)

[@philipp4606]

i have big problems with my wheels on my mini. The are starting to crack and deform after only 4 month of riding.... backfire wont give me new ones because they say its a consumable part :(

[@SeedVisual]

I've noticed there same issue. The wheels don't last very long. I've already replaced mine once. I'll probably try out the new cloud wheels next time.

[@philipp4606]

@@SeedVisual yeah please do a review when you try the cloud wheels

[@marudevera7295]

If you compare it to Meepo Mini 2 ER, what will be the best to buy?

[@SeedVisual]

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.

[@marudevera7295]

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?

[@SeedVisual]

I honestly don't know about South Korea. You might want to ask them at Backfire about that directly. There is a link in my Bio.

[@Cyberpyscho3]

I took hit a fat pothole the other day on my G2 black and my motors are doing the same thing as yours

[@SeedVisual]

Ouch. As expected, they responded within a couple hours and are sending a new motor. They also gave me the option of sending the board in for service, but I chose to do the repair myself. I'll have a video on that soon!

[@masonlambeth263]

What do you use to hold it up

[@SeedVisual]

I use guitar wall mounts. They are screwed directly into the studs.

[@EDUTAMARIU]

They should offer it belt drive!

[@SeedVisual]

Backfire has a belt drive board. It's called the Backfire Zealot. Would love to make a video about it in the future!

[@shanechappell7510]

1 year and only 300 miles :O

[@SeedVisual]

Haha yep, sad I know. I tend to choose the Mini much less than my other boards. I've got over 1000 miles combined.

[@shanechappell7510]

@@SeedVisual that is awesome i currently only have one board as shipping too the uk aint the best right now, but looking into getting a mini, in the coming weeks :)

[@printisdead1983]

Lol how is the mini gonna cost more than the g2 or whatever

[@SeedVisual]

Carbon fiber is much more expressive than wood. Design is also much more appealing.
