It seems the G3 bamboo deck is the same price with the zealot. And both are really good motors. I prefer hub because of noise and efficiency. But it seems this one might be worth the price. Specs wise seem similar but better torque maybe on the zealot?

Got my Backfire Zealot composite a couple weeks ago. It's my first board ever! I absolutely LOVE it! I went with the new deck because I'm about 220lbs. In the 2 weeks I've already ridden it about 140 miles! While I think the board is just about perfect I'll probably buy myself the Cloud 105 wheel kit for Christmas. Oh... It's also on sale right now for $150 less than what I paid. You'd be crazy to pass up that sort of deal. Ride safe 👍🏻

Is this board reliable? I've had a boosted board that's lasted me years and I've never run into a problem with it. Other than regular maintenance I never had to send the board in for any major manufacturer problems. Sadly Boosted is no longer in business and I've reached a point where I do want to upgrade. Knowing that you've had multiple versions of this board I wanted to get your honest opinion. Also, I love the vids keep it up!

[@eBoard3R]

*The first Backfire eBoard, the G1 (Galaxy), was Belt drive, NOT hub drive.* For G2 (Galacy II) they switched to hub drive, G2 to G3 Plus, until the Zealot. Many people don't know this. Many budget boards were making belt drive around that time but hub drive soon became the standard for budget brands. 346Wh on Zealot but 10% locked out on the BMS/ESC so 311Wh - for longevity they say but many suspect it"s to hide the sag, which is more obvious with their belt drive.

[@eSkateHub]

I did not know that about the old belt drive eboards. Thanks for the info! This might be an unpopular opinion, but I would rather have a board with a slightly restricted battery capacity and not get any battery sag. Once you start getting sag, the board is pretty much unrideable (if that's even a word).

[@eBoard3R]

@@eSkateHub 100% agree cos it's annoying when that almost unusable last mile or 2 is included in the predicted range. You limp home lol Yeah Benchwheel, Yuneec, Acton (gen 1), the first budget brands all used Belt drive then the budget scene embraced hub drive. Backfire offer a less flexy deck option for the Zealot now. P.S another great video 🔥🔥

[@gregoriovaccari]

Hi, thanks for the video, I am thinking of buying my first e-skate, and I am trying to understand which is the best for me. I've seen wow, flex ownboard w2, that cost about the same (zealot cost in this moment around 550 euro), but it's a quite high speed performance for my needs, but in quality and battery life and brakes is really good for the price. What do u think? Do you have something new to suggest? I am from Italy btw. Thanks a lot!

[@WellfortheBird]

I saw a reddit post tat compared the Zealot to Zealot S, and the found the speed difference to be negligible, But I am a 215lb rider, and in sport my Zealot S can hit way above 24mph (38kph) as shown in the video.

[@alexgauthier3406]

I'm really torn between the Backfire Zealot and the Exway Flex Riot!?!?! I was going more towards the Flex but their seems to be a major backorder issue with Exway... So since I want to purchase my first board next week, I'm starting to think the zealot is the safest bet to have it soon. Wich one did you personally prefered between those 2? Both your reviews were great btw!!

[@chieuang38]

Great review. how is the Zealot compare to Teamgee H20? I just can't decide which one to get, thanks in advance.

[@eSkateHub]

The Zealot smashes the H20 in terms of performance. But then you have belt-motors which isn't for everyone. If you want speed, go the Zealot. If you just want to cruise around, the H20 would be great.

I have just got the backfire longboard and on the remote there is a switch that say it goes forward and back I'm just wondering how is works

[@mr.iloveroblox2577]

also the reason that the battery says 346wh and the website says 311wh is because it has a 10% cutoff, unlike the the g3+ which uses the same battery and has the full 346

[@eSkateHub]

Ah awesome. I think that's a great idea for them to do that. Then you don't get that shitty battery sag.

[@jonassvensson1819]

Hello, I really like your videos and you come across as a genuinely nice guy. I have some questions, I am thinking about buying the zealot or the exway flex. When looking at backfires webpage, I live in Europe, under accessories there is not much to find. Cannot even find spare belts. Is that not strange? What type of pulleys does the zealot come with and how many teeth? If I buy the zealot I am thinking of getting rubber wheels that use Kegel pulleys but of course need the right pulleys and belts. For me what speaks for the exway is smart turn on and shorter more nimble deck. The zealot has as far as I have heard more power, not bothered with range and that also equals weight. Thanks

[@eSkateHub]

Hey Jonas, It is a bit strange that they don't offer the parts. However, even if the parts aren't available from the manufacturers, you can easily find pulleys and belts on third-party seller websites.

I really hope that u can help me it would me awesome!

[@eSkateHub]

Hey Andrea. Yeah the belts are reasonably strong, however, it is possible to break them. Luckily, replacement belts are very easy to buy. If the motors break, which is a lot less likely, you can also get replacements fairly easily. You can get them from Backfire and third-party sellers.

[@zaffax_]

@@eSkateHub thank u very much! but I see on the backfire site that they don't have the motors, I live in Italy so I'm afraid that pheraps maybe after 1year if I have motor problems I can't have a replace, the motors are good to stay in the future?

Thank you for the Review! I recently picked up a Zealot with the Cloud Wheels and it's so much fun. Your review is very accurate and helpful. What do you think about changing the trucks on the zealot for a different feel? I was thinking to get the Paris V3 or Gullwing Sidewinder for a more carvy experience. How do you think the Caliber 2 compares? As u said, the flex trucks have a deeper turning circle, tho it's a smaller deck with larger wheel flares too. Also, did you already giveaway the blue orangatang kegels?

[@eBoard3R]

Paris V2 offers a noticeably carvier feel than Caliber II but not a huge difference. For that deep surfy feel check out one of those surf adapters for skateboards.

[@hemahopkins4257]

@@eBoard3R thanks, I'm thinking to upgrade the stock trucks on my regular longboard and heard lots of great things about Paris V3, but wanted to see if I could get more value from using them on my zealot too!

[@eBoard3R]

@@hemahopkins4257 From the sounds of what you are lookin for from your setup, I think you will enjoy a surf adapter more than a Paris V2/V3. Sure the Paris is carvier than a Caliber but I feel like you will be underwhelmed by the difference. Best thing to do is join a group ride, try different boards. Many boards use Paris clones which have a similar ride feel.

Im very disappointed because I'm not sure how long this sale will last. I really wanted to get this board.

[@esk8jaimes]

Maybe the reason they quote the WH rating as downgraded is due to the drain from those LEDs?

[@eSkateHub]

Yeah, that's a possibility. Someone mentioned battery sag earlier too.

[@Ih8ryce1]

They sent him a bigger battery because he is a reviewer and it would get a better review. They didn’t think he was going to open it up!! Lololol

[@Xspeedzone]

I'm in the market for a new board since my old Meepo V 1.5 is starting to act weird. I can't decide between the Zealot at 650 $ or the Exway Flex at 620 $. Having ridden both, which would you go for? I personally like the look and design of the Flex but the power and range of the Zealot. Some people have also reported that the Flex has these battery security "features" that lock the breaks if the battery is overheating and therefore forces you to stop. In your Flex review, you mention the battery warnings and then you slowed down for a bit. Have you tried to continue pushing the limits of the board after the warning?

[@eSkateHub]

That's a few good years out of the Meepo V1.5! I had one of them too 😄 This is such a tough question because each person has a different riding style and requirements. But here are some things to think about. When it comes to power and performance, the Zealot beats the Flex, but it's only by a little. Does that extra power really matter? Coming from the Meepo V1.5, you're going to love either of these boards. The Zealot deck is longer than the Flex, so if you're a taller or heavier guy, you might want to lean towards the Zealot., however, coming from the V1.5, the Flex is still a bit longer. With the Flex, I like having the ability to customise your boards performance in the app and be able to change your wheels or motor type. There's a lot more flexibility with the Flex. As for the brakes locking on the Flex, I didn't get any of that. Towards the end of the ride, the power would cut and I'd slow down, but the brakes didn't lock up. I kept riding for about 1km (0.62 miles) after I ended my range test and didn't experience it. Once the battery gets too low, the board still has the ability to ride at a slow pace, but it's basically unrideable, especially up any inclines. Happens with a lot of eboards. I probably haven't made your decision easier haha. But this is a tough one that a lot of people are trying to decide on. Let me know what you eventually decide on. And if you have more questions, shoot them through.

[@Xspeedzone]

@@eSkateHub Thank you so much for the elaborate answer, really appreciate it! I went down a rabbit hole today watching Flex reviews and also reported problems. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who report cases of BMS errors, remotes disconnecting and brakes locking while riding, throwing people off the board. I didn't find a lot of people reporting problems with backfire boards. I live in the EU and backfire offers service in Germany which is a huge plus. The Flex also requires you to pay for shipping whereas the Zealot is free shipping, which I really appreciate as a student. The backfire seems like the best value for now. Might check out an Exway board in the future. Keep up the great content and thanks for being engaged with your viewers!

[@its_laksh5422]

how does this do in rain or wet weather as in new Zealand weather is normally very wet?

[@bjaymx3719]

With the regular wheels it’s doable but not ideal

[@SinglemanslifeinNYC]

Hey, I have a question about the brake. when you brake from a high speed range, how do you brake? from your brake test video, it looks like you are braking gradually from a high speed range. So, do you press the break button smooth and gently to brake gradually? or do you just press the break button at the "white break line" (from the video)? In latter case, I got thrown off from the board, so I still feel difficult and a bit afraid to using brakes when i m riding fast. Which makes me feel really difficult to use the brakes when I have to stop the board immediately. So in this case I usually just jump off from the board and the let the board go its way. How do you control the brake in situations like that? (im from nyc, so it is so stressful to see crazy cars and pedestrians just pop up and ignore all the traffic signs)

[@eSkateHub]

So, the way I do the tests is by applying the brakes to 100% at the white line. But that's definitely not how I brake in everyday riding. It's only for testing purposes. To get more comfortable with the braking, go out to a quiet area, and start riding at a really slow pace, like 5mph or less. Then slowly ease the brakes on until you come to a complete stop. Do that over and over again until you can start applying the brakes a bit faster. After you feel comfortable with that, increase your speed a little bit and apply the brakes gradually. The more you practice, the more confident you will become at using your brakes. It'll eventually be second nature. A key thing to remember is to always lean back on your rear foot when you brake. The harder you brake, the more you lean back. This counteracts the forward inertia that causes your body to go forward when braking. You'll have a lot more balance and confidence. I hope this helps. Let me know how you go. You've also given me a good idea for a video!

should I get the g3 or the zealot ? Is the zealot that much louder than the g3?

[@eSkateHub]

Yeah it's quite a bit louder. The G3 will have hardly any noise.

[@itzvrtx2244]

Says 311 online because that is using 90% of the battery. (345*.9=310.5) like car batteries, it helps the overall lifetime of the battery to not charge to 100% and drain every single charge.

This is the original Zealot. The battery on it was software limited to reduce battery sag. They removed that limit with the release of the Zealot S.

[@dickydan.]

Which deck feels better composite or bamboo?

I haven't had a chance to get on the composite deck but I've heard that most people are liking the composite deck a lot more. Especially if you're over 80kg.

[@worldtech8345]

Aww there differents brakes modes ? My meepo had 4 brakes levels so you could make it brake slowly or faster

[@jimajammer999]

I have a meepo v3 ER and the composite deck zealot as well. There is no manual way to change the braking stiffness. From my understanding the braking changes depending on what mode you're in. So it won't be as hard in eco mode as it is in turbo mode. The braking is really smooth and predictable in my opinion especially at higher speeds. I'm usually rising in sport with turbo mode here and there. Hope this helps.

Zealot vs Flex?

[@eSkateHub]

Ahhhh the age old question haha! Personally, I prefer the flex, but the deck flares isn't for everyone. The Zealot has a slightly higher top speed and range which is something to consider.

[@kemckelv]

@@eSkateHub more range and far less sag you'd say? Not a fan of sag lol

[@eboardlifestyle]

[@eSkateHub]

Hahaha! Glad to hear you're loving the Zealot!

[@mihalutsk]

[@eSkateHub]

[@samueljordanwoods4377]

He said I'm 93 klm an hour lol

[@HienzenatorsClips]

“I’m 93 kilometres an hour”

[@eSkateHub]

Hhahahahaha!!! Oh man, I can't believe I said that. I also can't believe no one else has picked it up.

[@Vinsco_Cars]

you're 93km/h?????? what??????

[@novocastrian_8387]

Sry but if I'm spending $1000 aud on a board I shouldn't have to pull apart the motor out of the box to clean it out seriously wtf. These Chinese company's are a joke with their QC an their "equivalent" battery's sure the specs look good but 2-3 months down the road all these cheap battery's develop issues the junk chargers don't help that either.

[@clipsy_xd9486]

I bought that skateboard turned out to be garbage Don’t know what they did to mine but it’s garbage

[@TURIECFOTO]

hmm, not fast board

[@eSkateHub]

It's a pretty fast board for the price. _Most_ people won't be riding it that hard anyway.

[@TURIECFOTO]

@@eSkateHub kids

[@vigilantegamer335]
