Backfire Ranger X5 - Ambient LED System - Electric Skateboard Review

[@esk8unity]

iv always said hub AT boards are underrated. 👍🏼

[@chrystainkuhn6610]

Super psyched! Just ordered mine after rocking meepo v5 er the past year.

[@Brennen_Nisporic]

That’s probably the coolest looking board from backfire. And no flats!

[@TheGrumpyEsk8er]

I couldn’t help but picture everything in your house having a spoiler mounted to it. Toaster, Refrigerator, Microwave, Dog….lol. What is the cool light ring on your back? I saw the same thing in your zealot X review video and I would also not like to get hit by a car at night:) I got my zealot X last week and it’s just as impressive in person. The remote alone sets the gold standard for Eskating in my opinion.

*Yewwh!* ⚡️🤟🏽🤟🏽⚡️ Nice to see a more flexy deck from BF.

[@zogreen2722]

That backfire looks awesome. That was the perfect place for the tail lights.

[@pringlized]

I've got a Meepo v1. I'm planning on upgrading to The Meepo Vader but DAMN! The Baackfire Ranger X5 is so sick. I love the ambient lighting for night riding to have better visibility for cars. I' had some close calls in the past and eaten plenty of pavement. I got elbow and knee pads but your knee/shin guards are awesome. That's my next purchase. I love the cut out handle on my Meepoo but your upgrades are awesome as handles to carry the board. Backfire is making me rethink my choice.

[@slctyify]

Great video. I've been waiting for this, and I think you are the first to review it. I love the silence of hub motors too. Thanks for posting it. Nice shots of Utah also! Fingers crossed for the raffle.

[@Lockwood97]

Hub motors with rubber wheels are an underutilized combo 🙌

[@paulmallinson6931]

Lovely looking board with decent speed, look forward to your next reviews on this board

[@yeeieio]

The slow initial acceleration is probably a good thing. Better if it’s an option for the rider. The disc hub motors is interesting too. Love the red highlight and LED!

[@cobrakaithebeast5860]

That backfire looks amazing in the, doesn’t matter what time of day it looks awesome

[@Trak3r_music]

Love the ambients lights this board is 🔥

[@ChelseyBunny]

Broooooo that's a cool looking board

[@GetTechSmart1214]

I like the splash guard you got, could you provide the link to where you got those from? Also HOW ARE YOU OUTSIDE IN SHORTS?!?!?! I see nothing but snow all around you!

[@cmfilms3104]

Having the red accent show even during the day is such a nice touch, more companies should prioritze this imo

[@playthink]

I think this electric sketboard Is amazing 💯😯

[@meibeab]

Thanks. I have the X2 and love it. Might be time for an upgrade...

[@jeromep5383]

I'm not a huge fan of hub motors, but I like being stealthy on my towns bike paths. Great review thanks .

[@felreview]

Ranger has always intrigued me with the hub design.

[@Learning5515]

Awesome reviews!! I look forward to them.

[@derickpetit-blanc9165]

Now that would have easily been my 2nd board after the Meepo V3! That's such a good looking and very practical board

[@jeremyjiang1916]

flexy and lights is a good step in the right direction

[@iamkhelgarcia]

This looks so futuristic❤❤❤ i love ittt!

[@adolloyd]

Awesome review!!!

[@RidershermanV3]

You an awesome reviewer my guy

[@jordeanw2278]

I’ve loved my backfire, love the content!

[@stewwho6044]

YESSSS light up FLEX DECK 🎉 Well done Backfire!🙌🙏

[@igorminalto2363]

amazing review, looking forward for more videos.

[@Bikelife-TEZ]

That's an interesting board love the lighting

[@Zumba_Enjoyer]

It looks a lot better than the X3 in my opinion and I actually dig the wing a little bit

[@petermartin1323]

It is an X3 updated with a new LED deck, programmable remote and ESC.

[@djwardlowentertainment9098]

The idea of the flex deck and hub motors in offroad setting is very interesting. The only issue i have is the DKP trucks for offroading isnt ideal. I really love DKP on the street but this board is intended for offroad and thats where it shines.

[@petermartin1323]

It takes about 8 minutes to turn it into a TKP by removing the centre pin section.

[@osok6077]

Im new to the electric skateboard world great video

[@Neros503]

The price seems a little steep considering you can buy a verreal RS pro for $400 less, and that board has similar batter/motor specs to the X5. That said, they are two very different boards, so I guess it would really come down to your riding style. The Ranger definitely wins in terms of looks though, and I do prefer flex decks.

[@loganmuller7128]

I love the lights!

[@taimaishu99]

Great review, should also review or list in a video your top riding gear (backpack, lights, cameras, etc)

[@julioperezm2182]

Killer video 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@IanhunterVance2]

board is so sick

[@jaredtobin6678]

awesome to see the led in a flexible deck! would be cool to see if Backfire offers decks for the S2/X and G5S but flexible like this X5 one and each with their respective led color!

[@robertgodette4678]

Looks pretty nice😊

[@africans1968]

Great review!

[@davem3395]

Great looking board

[@supersawnick]

Lookin' awesome! :)

[@JonathonArttus]

Im sooo sad I just missed iti even just bought the x5 amazing boared yes and cant wait for more updates trying to figure out the finger print scanner

[@paulr3556]

Subbed and never won anything, ever, good luck to all. Great video, info and quadcopter views.

[@iamalavalamp]

what is the red led ring on the back of your backpack please? link? thanks

[@VincentLACROIX35410]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6nafJ6Ghr-FmdEsi=0hTmZlX4JruNJkcf

[@goldernie]

Sooo sick 🔥

[@valdralapena4104]

I was waiting to see the red circle ⭕ on your best lol.

[@jezuzman]

Great videos! Great board they should've put more battery on the board but just saying great board though! 🤙🤙 Keep the videos coming!

[@tannerflowers1994]

The spoiler looks like a safety concern.

[@wilsgrant]

Nice review and the camera work was great. I think this board fits an interesting niche, I just think its overpriced. Someone explain to me why the $800 Meepo Auora is more powerful, belt driven, with brighter LED's and this thing is $1200? I'm not saying they are directly comparable, but I think Backfire is being greedy with their margin on this board. Or, you could get a Propel Endeavor2 S with full suspension, a bigger battery, more powerful motors, high end pneumatic wheels and tires, for $100 less than this board. Why is this board worth $1200 in today's market?

[@nathangemme6594]

You make that board belt drive with a bit more battery and bit less expensive and it would be Perfect 👌

[@mathieurobillard4827]

Great review! But I will probably give a try to the G5s since I don't have the $ for this one. Could you tell us what is your back pack with the led ring please?

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Thank you

[@ryancichocki3624]

Great review as always. Board looks great but backfire keep shipping weak ass batteries, beef em up or give us a charger that can 0-100 in an hour or less. Also… how are you not freezing ya nuts off riding in that snow 😂

[@jean-francoisgemme8595]

As alway super video

[@JackMiller-ed3eo]

What's that glowing thing on your back？It looks like something out of the movie Tron

[@jer0006]

love the led's but wish there were other options than just hub motor.

[@jasonsmalling1048]

What backpack has that red ring LED?

[@chrystainkuhn6610]

But for real though, what’s the link for the ring light on your back?

[@evtechsteven]

Here's a video I have on how to make these ring lights! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6nafJ6Ghr-FmdE

[@Greenmachine305]

What is that red light on your back?

[@africans1968]

Luv your back light on your back. Can you link it?

[@VincentLACROIX35410]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6nafJ6Ghr-FmdEsi=0hTmZlX4JruNJkcf

[@Ascalis1]

Love backfire, but hubs and lack of ability to swap to any wheels is a hard pass. I wish we got the flex deck on the zealots tho. I miss the bounce

[@noneyabizznizz8679]

Spoiler adds looks, a handle as you said and cost. No down force as spoilers are intended for

[@esk8Kyle]

Haha wtf! That spoiler!

[@jupiterfloros5289]

Tron backpack info please

[@Hawkeyehunter69]

I think Backfire skipped over Ranger X4 because there will be a four hub wheel drive comming. The last Ranger was X3. Why else skip X4.

[@AlexPletcherPhoto]

4 is an unlucky # in china so they are skipping over it

[@esk8jaimes]

Maxfind FF AT is faster at 28mph, Plus, has swappable 8.7ah battery packs.

[@evtechsteven]

Maxfind doesn’t have red LEDs. This is the whole point of the X5.

[@yohvh]

people have to ask if its electric. nah bruv. these lights run on aura

[@yohvh]

but the hub motors make it a no deal. no replacing wheels. that price exceeds the Wowgo AT2. its the worst choice with lesser specs

[@martial_matt]

You can replace the wheels.

[@UnchartedWorlds]

@@martial_mattwith same type of wheels or?

[@chaosbear6741]

@@UnchartedWorlds on Backfire's website they sell some "Cloud Wheel Rovers 165R For Backfire Hammer Sledge" which also works on this board I assume.

[@Greenmachine305]

They call it a spoiler because it spoils the look of the vehicle.

[@yohvh]

i don't like the white lights,

[@SteveLord]

If you do or plan to do group rides, skip this board. 518wh in a 2024 board is weak.

[@kuyaMERLIN]

Spoiler Alert :)

[@slowbro1337]

spoiler😅

[@evtechsteven]

Not enough

[@ChiefMoteef]

Great vid. Zealot S2 rider🛹
