Im really considering getting a LaCroix board because it has a 50 mile range and can do almost 40mph.. would you be able to try and get one and do a review, it's hella expensive but the range, pneumatic tires and the speed seems worth the $3499.99 asking price..

[@omarhassane4179]

Thanks Daniel for your DOP VIDEOS 😃👍🏻😎 Could you please show us how to calculate the range of any board?:)

[@nextechprojects3774]

Hey , why is your English getting really bad ??

[@rahulxsood]

Hey Daniel, have you noticed a rattling noise from the front left or right of the board? It rides fine but that sound is driving me nuts. Feels like something is lose. Any thoughts? Bearings? It’s brand new.

[@hellohogo]

Zx7o I bought a lacroix board. It’s worth every penny, but man that’s a lot of pennies😂 I had to sell for financial reasons, but it’s a really good company, which often gets overlooked in these reviews. I’m probably gonna get a $1000 board soon, either this or the ownboard.

[@matthewternouth2493]

"If you want more torque, lose some weight." 😂😂😂

[@retnirp548]

[@AutoKeyblade]

Heavyweight riders: Am I a joke to u

[@tonyaiello6384]

Haha! Straight up lol. I hired an Asian lady to measure me for a suit and she straight up said “you go on diet, k!?” 😂

[@BWT599]

Lol when he says that it replayed in my head all day today on my first real big day of riding my new Ranger X2 today in the dead of a Canadian winter. I'm 230 pounds, but surprisingly the board held it's own vs my Bamboo GTR. The battery gauge indeed really sucks vs Evolve's comtroller.

[@kenroth1881]

I am trying.

[@47zaxer]

Hi Daniel, i have an explanation/solution for your speed wobbling issues with double Kingpin trucks. It happens to you because of the way you put the front foot in the board, it's not centered but right-sided, not covering all the board surface and forcing you to put your weight on your fingers to maintain it straight. so, having it placed at the right makes you turn right way easier BUT, when turning left your front foot can't help because it's not covering the left side of the board, that makes you turn mostly with your back foot. When you use the back to turn that's exactly what gives you unstability, and you can notice it with double kingpin trucks because they turn way more than reverse kingpins needing to control it better. If you place the front foot using all the wideness of the deck and placing your fingers at the left end and your toe at the right end, you will at first feel strange because the way you are used to ride, but soon you will notice you can handle the board much better and make turns more naturally. Just don't skip this advice. It will truly help you and i hope you take it into consideration. Thanks for your channel, you are the eSk8's jeremy clarkson!!

[@dawsoncjames]

Hey Daniel, Are you doing a Ranger X3 review?

[@KurosLibrary]

yes, thanks Daniel for this marvelous review. I was really waiting for it.

[@shassabo]

I ended up buying the Backfire Ranger X2 with your code and it arrived yesterday! Your videos are bad ass and totally sold me. Super detailed and the road trips are even better. Looking forward to more videos and trips.

[@qjtvaddict]

How much did you save

[@stephaniechen7930]

How was your experience w the board Sherif?

[@shassabo]

@@stephaniechen7930 It's still perfect. I had to put some harder bushings on it to make it a bit more stable, but I've never ridden a more comfortable board. I have a few different boards now and I still prefer the Ranger X2 when I want to cruise on the lake - the hub motors are so quiet and smooth and it has no problem hitting the dirt/grass. On average I get about 15 miles of range pushing it pretty hard. Definitely a thumbs up!

[@MrMarewx]

Can't find comparison of ranger x2 VS ownboard carbon AT (or bamboo, no matter). Can someone explain me their main CONS & Pros?

[@ILuvTrading]

Good video.. enjoyed this while drinking my morning latte. Now to work 😜

[@jksmancave4878]

"This is fast and dangerous so you need to exit." This is what I hear from security guards all the time here in Shenzhen as well while they just let electric scooters blast through crowds all the time. Which one is more "dangerous and faster?" lol Great review as always. Thanks!

[@JoeFourMan]

With regards to the DKP trucks, on my X1 it took me about 3 different bushing configs until it carved right, so I definitely recommend changing the stock bushings. The problem with the stock setup is much like Dan described - too twitchy and not confidence inspiring at speed or during deep carves. Now I have them dialed-in I can do high speed carves which hold their line and it feels absolutely amazing, so I HIGHLY recommend playing with your bushings and don't be afraid to try different configs.

[@gonzoschmalanzo3066]

That makes no sense. You don’t need dkp for high speed carves. You could be running rkp as tight as you can get them and at high speed you will still be able to carve easily as hard as you want. At speed you don’t need gimmicks to turn, the slightest movement and you’re turning a lot. Now at slow speeds (10 mph or so) this is where dkp comes into play and gives you much more ability than rkp, NOT AT SPEED. At speed it makes zero difference, dkp will only give you an easier time wiping out lol. And if you’re manipulating your dkp bushings to where they’re “stable at speed” then you essentially are losing some of what makes them great at slow speeds, which again makes no sense.

[@JoeFourMan]

@@gonzoschmalanzo3066 that's a lot of words to say you didn't understand what I wrote. I never said you NEED dkp for high speed carves, I said its possible to achieve this with the right config (of course keeping low speed carvability, otherwise whats the point of dkp).

[@clintcornish705]

Hi Daniel. After riding both boards (Wowgo AT 2 and the Backfire Ranger X2) which one would you recommend? What about the Ranger X3? Thanks. SurfNorth.

[@Slayblaze]

Great video review, pretty much exactly how feel I about my X2 except I might be a bigger fan of the double-kingpin trucks because I really like them a LOT. There is a slight learning curve to getting comfortable with them but I really like Backfire's implementation, and I appreciated this reviews detailed look. Something I love about the X2 is the sheer *comfort* level of the ride experience overall, and also how incredibly confident I feel while riding it even at high speeds and going on and off road at will!

[@Dkizzle16]

[@garethsamuel3737]

Final thoughts was the icing on the cake; you spoke naturally and honestly..keep up the good work! Also Backfire G3 has stirred my interest and made me raise an eyebrow..I now await more final thoughts..

[@zaneramos8976]

Been riding mines for two weeks already. Waaaay better and more affordable than Evolve GT. I Have an evolve Carbon GT. Love the hubs vs the belts system on the Backfire.

[@tripmurphy2335]

I am trying to decide between the Ranger x2, and the Ownboard Carbon AT. Any information or suggestions on which I should get?

[@DanielKwan]

I address that in the final section of this video ;)

[@OhFishyFish]

Haha same here, Ownboard looks badass, I love the looks and sound of the belt drive, with cloudwheels it should be great for city riding. I like the Ranger X2 remote and hub motors but I'm not a big fan of the bare looks. Have you decided which one to get?

[@jleebadger]

DK's review only briefly talked about some of my biggest issues with the board: 1. The remote switches too easily between forward and reverse, which causes people to get thrown off if they're not careful (or haven't taped the switch in place). DK experienced that in the video. 2. The turbo mode shuts off without any warning, such as a countdown or a vibration to notify the rider that turbo mode will shut off in three seconds. Between this issue and the fact that you can't engage Turbo without letting off the throttle makes turbo more trouble than it's worth. 3. The remote sends low battery notifications (via vibration) kinda of early and a bit too often. Somewhat annoying, but I wonder if this is by design to encourage riders not to ride till empty and thus preserve battery life. 4. Rolling resistance is very high which makes it difficult to push manually. Personally, I find this a bit annoying because I like to do a little push start to conserve battery life and get my center of balance established as I start to move. On my other esk8 with a hub motor and PU wheels I have to apply the brakes on one of the hills along my commute, but the X2 goes down the same hill so slowly that I'll actually apply some gas instead. 5. The board's max speed is kinda slow. Personally think that it'd be better off with a slightly higher top speed as a third speed mode using the S/E button. 6. The ESC gets pretty hot. This is probably to be expected since it's an AT board and it's cooling options are limited. However, it does make me wonder about the board's durability. I guess time will tell. 7. Overall water resistance is questionable. Other riders on Reddit have noted that their remotes stopped working for a few days after it got wet, so it makes me wonder if Backfire skimped on waterproofing the remote's internal components. 8. Riding through bad terrain reduces your speed drastically. While this is to be expected, I didn't think it'd reduce it down to about 40% of the board's max speed on asphalt. Given how the ESC throttles the board's speed at lower battery levels, I'd be hesitant to take this out for any extended ride on rough terrain. Just keep this in mind if you're considering the board for riding on mtb trails, which is probably a bag idea because the board lacks any real suspension. 9. There's very little information on how to optimize the board's double king pin trucks (DKP). Although Backfire advises not to adjust the trucks, that's not reasonable as riders of different weight and skills require different settings. I'll probably swap out the board side bushings for something a bit harder and maybe barrel shaped. One annoyance with the DKP is that a standard skate tool cannot adjust the boardside bolt, so you also need to carry a small wrench with you during your first rides as you dial in your ride. Other than those issues, DK's review is super thorough and addresses about every topic. All that being said, the board is absolutely fantastic. It handles all the rough roads along my commute well and it amazingly even handles train tracks that'd otherwise throw me off my other esk8. The ride is super buttery and a lot less taxing on your feet. The brakes perform very well and can take you from top speed to a stop in about half the distance that my other board requires, which makes it a safer ride for commuting through traffic where cars will try to cut you off.

[@puluzusa467]

I just got mine days ago. I found the ESC got pretty hot too. Even the battery case is hot too. And for the speed mode, I can only use S mode. On E mode the brake is too weak. BTW it's good board. One thing I dont like is the light, I cant mount the light to the base they offer. I cant pull it to the end and get locked.

[@jleebadger]

@@puluzusa467 the light may not click into place or anything, but it doesn't really go anywhere if it's slid all the way on.

[@boramiNYC]

@@puluzusa467 If you want to keep the ESC cooler, you can stick a bunch of small heat sink fins with thermal glue. I ride G2T on turbo all the time with older remote and did just that to help dissipate heat better. Can't say by how much, but they get pretty warm so I like it.

[@BingSway]

Thanks for the excellent and detailed review! I'm about to finally buy one after looking at a bunch of other AT boards.

[@jasondean1239]

could you please do a review on the meepo City rider? I was curious to know if you could somewhat off road with it

[@nameless89]

So not get city rider, I got both of the board, the city rider is no where close to ranger x 2 experience, the brakes are inaccurate strong and sudden and its very heavy to carry around even just for a short time, they changed the Hobby wing esc to Ling yi esc, so far on other board is good but not on city rider

[@MedMessyNotes]

Will you review the ranger x3?

[@uhgal]

Hi Daniel since you know so much about backfire boards i wanted to ask you, i got the g2s and brought the g2t motors for it. but i have slow acceleration and bad brakes, do i need to upgrade my esc also ? ore is it my battery that's bad ? my board is around a year old. btw wery good video about the ranger :)

[@KeenTBaaMTV]

you need the g2t esc upgrade too.

[@DanielKwan]

Yes you’d need the G2T’s ESC.

[@uhgal]

@@DanielKwan thank you for your response :) i will order the esc to

[@pulsarstar]

Any idea about where to get good bearings for X2? My original bearings front and back have given up already, and I do not want to use the same bearings again. Sizes are: 1614 and 6906

[@bluepawn]

I hope to see 1 day a 4x4, very powerful for slopes, IP68, all full powerful LED lights, handlebar with all buttons, less than 15kg and range on battery removable more than 45km, app so I can block the speed to max 20km/h (my very secured standard country). That will be in the standard of my country with snow etc so I can use it. Thanks if you know something like this.

[@omarhassane4179]

Thanks Daniel for your DOP VIDEOS 😃👍🏻😎 Could you please show us how to calculate the range of any board?:)

[@QbertTehKiller]

You should cover the raldey carbon at v2. I have it and the brakes are super strong and I'm above 260lb. Not sure if you have v1 or v2 but for me it'll violently stop me if I floor the brakes

[@juggernaugh75321]

That security guard popping up at the end like, "hol up a minute" makes me wonder why these Esk8s specifically are targeted there but bicycles and the fucking moped scooter things are allowed.

[@BJT14]

What electric longboard would you recommend for really going off road?

[@Joe-eg7ml]

Now compare with Raldey carbon AT

[@DanielKwan]

Raldey Carbon AT... Wheels touch the feet. Deck too stiff and short for an AT Board. Remote too slippery to hold especially with gloves. I can’t recommend it but if/when they release the same board with a bamboo deck and a much better remote, it should be worth considering.

[@ceejay_elit]

I think philip DeFranco owns that intro :p

[@gabrielljx]

Have you tried pairing it with the wowgo3 hobbywing remote? Let us know if it allows you to ride on turbo endlessly 😂

[@pedxing]

agreed. lets get this answered. My belief is... YES.

[@gabrielljx]

@@pedxing I've seen this on someone else's channel before but they just briefly mentioned it. If it works I'm so getting the X2 😂

[@DzejkobsChannel]

it works, check channel called PRESS RESET. But I wouldnt recommend it, as the hubs arent designed to go in turbo forever, so there is a chance of overheating

[@rahulxsood]

So my Ranger X2 arrived. I tried it for the first time today and wow man it’s incredible for city riding on wet roads. It gave me a high level of confidence, wasn’t worried about bumps on the road and it is incredibly smooth. The best part is how quiet it is. Damn man I’m used to some loud boards with Boosted, this thing is silent.

[@BWT599]

Nice, I received mine as well over here in Canada. Super quiet and smooth.

[@dannyhamilton5512]

[@mattgreen2398]

How did you find the speed ? I’m stuck between this and the g3 but worried it won’t be quick enough!

[@KhmerGuy1988]

Hey rahul, 5 months later how are you liking the ranger x2. Does it still hold up? I just placed my order

[@the-bu3lb]

Suck that turbo mode drops after 20sec while in that mode I wish it didn’t like on the others g3 stays in turbo without dropping down

[@pedxing]

8:12 someone has probably pointed this out already, but using a different remote will let you just set "turbo" as a speed mode. I feel certain that Backfire does not recommend this as a means of conserving battery and motor life... but... you know.

[@DanielKwan]

Aldous Yelxuh Probably fine for me since I don’t stay in full throttle most of the time.

[@CasuallyGreg]

It would be nice if the remote vibrated once turbo was available again.

[@mattgreen2398]

Mph I have seen people just getting 20mph

[@tonyaiello6384]

[@damiendevane]

Ho Daniel, I bought the G2T way back when thanks to your advice. Now I need your advice again :D Between the Ranger X2 or Ownboard Bamboo GT (maybe get the Evolve 6" kit later too for it), what would you recommend? I loved my G2T but really need something for rough country roads and cobblestones somtimes. I'm veering towards the Ownboard as the cloudwheels seems a great mix beween street and AT wheels, then I've got the option to add EVolve pneumatics to it too. Anything I'm missing? Build quality on my G2T was amazing, but I've never seen an Ownboard so cant compare. Many thanks man for all your work!

Dang, so disappointed this board sucks on water resistance. I have the Evolve Bamboo GTR and it's an awesome board, but the belt motor is exposed to winter elements like salt residue on the roads etc. I want to get this Backfire Ranger X2 board to handle whatever I throw at it.

[@speedracer9132]

Did they fix the reverse switch from the x1? Example, does the x2 go forward when you push the dial forward and does it go backwards when you push the dial backwards?

[@JoeyCbr]

How often do you get wobbles on double king pin? I don’t see why manufactures keep upgrading the motors when you can’t safely go that fast.

[@tommyphan513]

240 lb person and I got about 11 miles on it. I'm gonna have to do a 12mph cruise and an 18mph cruise test to see how well it actually goes. My g2t lasted 13.5 miles, completely dead, but that was also a full cruise speeds mostly.

[@PAIN166]

I really like your review of this board! I think it's sad that this security guard send you off, because this bike trails look really nice! Fortunately you didn't get a fine. I think we all should unite to make eskating more popular and to stand for our right to eskate. Every personal electric vehicle is better than a typical combustion engine car in many ways. (pollution, traffic, parking space, safety for pedestrians, ...)

[@nicolasmathy9926]

Hey Daniel, I have the Ranger X1.. I feel like you might not have a better experience with the double king pin trucks if you stand a bit more back with your front foot.. The one thing I think isn't great is that I feel like my range is descreasing bit by bit everytime I ride.. I'm about 70kg and I get around 22-23 km in range.. was hoping for more

Daniel :) Excellent review young man! I have an X1 (very happy with it) and have been thinking about getting the X2 or a ONEWHEEL? (have you ever had a onewheel?) Still on the fence. I do notice that the distance on my remote is often about 1 mile to 1 1/2 miles off from what my ride app says. Any ideas on why that would be?

[@DanielKwan]

Graeme Franks In my opinion the most significant upgrade on the X2 is the brakes. If you’re fine with the brakes on the X1, I think I would just keep it! Never tried a onewheel but would like to. As for the range, maybe your remote is not set to 165mm wheels? Not sure.

@@DanielKwan this was helpful thanks for your reply. I will definitely buy a board using your discount codes! For Bangkok city roads, do you have any recommendations for a board and the wheels?

[@langtangwang]

what about the reverse double kingpin trucks

[@ilvegettodemamt2954]

someone can please tell me if 1k for the X2 are not too much

[@feltric]

Hey daniel! I received my x2 last saturday and put 200kms on it already. Really love every aspect even the doublekingpin . I used your code and wanted to know how i can get grip on the dkwan stickers. Would love to put some on my deck...

[@DanielKwan]

Feltric Garmond hey fill out the form at dkwan.com/freestickers. I’ll send you stickers with the next batch!

I guess backfire just doesn’t like flexy decks

[@christiandrouin4792]

Great video and I love my x2. Just finished my first repair after cracking the deck. I put it together with looser trucks so hope I can manage the wobble.

Nice shoes！

[@drunkinmaster1]

Max Huang brand of shoes are those. They look pimp

[@rustyshackleford2525]

Are you sure that the boards speed is controlled by the ESC? I thought it was limited by the motors Max kv rating. I had purchased the previous motors separately for a custom build using a Vesc and a 12s⁴p battery. Turns out it still was limited to about 22mph, witch is not fast enough for me. So could you let us know if the new motors are ESC or Kv speed controlled. Thanks

[@DanielKwan]

Rusty Shackleford I don’t know, you might be right. Would explain why turbo on this board doesn’t increase the top speed.
