The link doesn't work?

[@DanielKwan]

Works for me. Broken for anyone else?

[@savalamere-ls2ov]

Everything said about the trucks here applies to backfire boards I switched to 85 and 90 a bushings and a barrel cone setup.

[@Tyneeboard]

Thank you for your great and honest review Daniel. ❤❤❤

[@basarat]

For me range is the priority as I ride with people on bikes and they just keep going 😅. Anyways I went with the Tynee Explorer ESC 2 for the amazing range🌹

[@DanielKwan]

Explorer is the kind of board I’d choose for long range: large platform, double drop, some shock absorption.

[@pandrews01]

Great Video. Weight can be a big issue when transporting a board. Saw people with grab handles on their boards and immediately understood the reason for this after my first board purchase.

[@levi5468]

Yup i just got the 8.5kg backfire g3 and it's heavier to carry than i thought it would be. Mostly because theres not really an easy way to hold it in your hand(s).

[@cesarlin]

Totally agree on the weight. It’s one of the most important factors on how I choose my next board, if not the most important.

[@LORFCASTER]

If manufacturers choose a deck size / dimension that allows the rider to hold it vertically with 1 hand on 1 of the trucks, hanging down. I feel like this allows for a heavier board since one can adapt better to the weight if the board is able to free hang from one hand.

[@levi5468]

Very good idea

[@ALTRON3]

Thanks for review . Yes. More info on the NEW wheels. Im really interested in them .

[@nerdvsgravity1387]

I don’t think very many people agreed with you because it seems that they discontinued this version of the board very quickly

[@xmanual]

Love your reviews!

[@davidlinscheid2321]

Great review, sir, of a brand that has caught my interest.

[@MichaelWagner-z4k]

If you are a stinger(not LE) owner, you can remove the belt covers to add clearance with the motors. It allows you to run 12mm risers on the dkp setup. Which feels super low compared to 28mm risers. Completely transforms the stability and ride feel. The new gear drive allows you to go down even lower than 12mm ! The motors are mounted closer to the wheel thus not as high. I’m a nut case and use every bit of power on my stinger. With its wide deck and wide stance it’s comfortable on the feet compared to other cruisers. So for a 15+ mile group ride with a few breaks I could effectively use this board. For the city, being able to go from off of a curb onto the street and cruising at 25mph comfortably, is an amazing feeling. It’s a city destroyer when you tune it right. Its stock tune is dog shit. Can’t carve and it’s unstable because of the 28mm risers. And with the tkp setup (96/93 and 90/87 krank barrel flat washer setup) I was stable at top speed(32mph) and could carve like a madman at 28mph like you would see someone doing on a Zeus pro or something like that. Also with 105mm wheels, if you set the wheel size to 93mm it will trick the remote into reading a gps accurate speed. I’m done rambling now. Thought I would share my two cents and things I learned about my board that I love. Because to truly enjoy this board to the fullest you need to really change some stuff. One more thing, the truck length is standard for this design, a mid size cruiser board with wide dkp trucks which was started by evolve with the evolve stoke and their super carve trucks. And it works very well, even with the tkp. But it shines the most with dkp, it allows you to have dkp on the cruiser deck and not fly off the road.

[@michaelwagner6410]

Sorry for commenting again but this is important I just got my stinger and because it has the 6368 motors it won't clear with quarter inch pads the motors will hit the deck before the wheel way before the wheel. 10mm or 12mm is the smallest it will fit. 12mm is the smallest size Tynee will ship the pad on a custom order according to Aiden. I recommend just having them install the 12mm by requesting it upon ordering for free.

[@mondsturm6765]

Great Job, as always!

[@Miguel_Molina]

@5:43, is the kicktail only usable to turn around when at full stop, or is the board light enough to turn while in motion like that?

[@DanielKwan]

It’s kind of long and heavy. You wouldn’t normally ride it with your back foot on the tail, at least I wouldn’t. I’m sure you could pivot while in motion but you’d need to reposition yourself each time.

[@capcom4eva]

You’re exactly right about light weight. When I want something I can ride 20-30 miles on, it’s going to be my electric scooter. If I’m riding under 10 miles, I like the portability of a lightweight esk8 to take anywhere. I’ve had my eye on that scooter in your video. I still want it because it’s lightweight, but the ninebot max g2 is more practical, comfortable, but unfortunately “weigh” heavier at 53.5 lbs.

[@MichaelWagner-z4k]

Maybe they set it up with wide trucks, and the DKP so you can get your lean(surf) on without going into a wall or off path. More time leaning since it's turning less hard from with wider truck. It's supposed to feel like youre surfing. That's what I think.

[@TheVeganarchism]

5:40 I find the kicktail on my Exway Wave Riot something of a safety hazard - occasionally I have been standing slightly too far back and done a wheelie when accelerating.

[@CheckYourPulseShorts]

kicktail a safety hazard 😆 you hear something new everyday

[@TheVeganarchism]

@@CheckYourPulseShorts Probably just for me 😂 We’re not all as co-ordinated as we’d like to be…

[@michaelwagner6410]

So if I want to run the same bushing setup on this board but with venom 97A barrels, could I make one of the barrels a keg bushing that's designed for the rogue truck? Or is that one too short. Trying to find the closest thing to 100A barrels that either venom or riptide has to offer, I read that some people think venom bushings are harder per durameter rating and they go up to 97A on the hpf formula where riptide only goes up to 96A on their krank formula. Or is there no way to do it?

[@reallytho99]

I like the look of all of these, but wouldn't consider until they have lights, visibility, and app/customization of the exway wave Nasa. These decks look better than the exway wave, but just lacking in so many areas aside from power/battery which you rarely need on a cruiser board.

[@Padel84287]

Hi, this model will not appear anymore? It is not on a website

[@Miguel_Molina]

you can just reach out to them and they will special order it for you

[@rafaelvega59]

Glad I purchased the original tynee stinger. Tynee just released a gear drive system for it! I just ordered it. Can’t wait to try Tynee gear drive system. I know Tynee won’t disappoint 🎉

[@GHK650]

希望你可以來發表用齒輪箱的心得，因為我也有意購買齒輪箱

[@rafaelvega59]

@@GHK650 I just received it yesterday. The acceleration feels smooth, lower acceleration than belts and it feels like I got a lower top speed. The range feels about the same than with the belts. It’s a small price to pay for little maintenance. You will have to remove the motor bash guard in order to install the gear drive system so it’s something to keep in mind.

[@Miguel_Molina]

what is a gear drive, and what does it do? sorry i am new to this

[@michaelwagner6410]

Apparently this giant riser pad is really messing up the stability. People report better stability with the meepo flow even though it's barrel cone. Same size trucks and bushing duro. You took off the pad so you experienced good stability. Most people that had an issue said it felt it was due to the high ride height. I heard Tynee made the pads smaller on the new batch that comes with the 105 clones. So yeah it's a must remove for stability.

[@michaelwagner6410]

You said without the risers on the tkp setup you don't get wheelbite with 105s, but what about with the stock DKP setup and no risers? Please get back to me I'm buying one.

[@robertcullity1695]

Hi Daniel, this question is pretty random but maybe you know if revel boards is still manufacturing their equipment. They have a site but there are a lot of accessories are labeled sold out. Most troublesome for me is their extended range battery marked “sold out”. I’ve emailed them , tried to get a phone number for their San Diego shop but no luck. I’ve been making skateboards for over 20 yrs so doing my own custom is no problem. Could you help me out if you no more about where the company is as far as, are they just selling off what they have left or are they still active but just slow in getting their stock up. Thanks Rob

[@heysamhillier]

I personally don't like a board heavier than 8KG. The Tynee Mini 3 with a 390wh battery is 7.9kg.

[@YTwoKay]

Agreed. My Ex-way Max is about 8kg (17 lbs). Any short board would need to be less than 6kg (13 lbs) to be a viable backup board.

[@jankat9337]

I saw (two or three) Tynee Stingers with AT (HOTA 150mm) wheels. Is it possible to mount those wheels on LE version?

[@sarbsingh9895]

What’s more reliable the tynee or meepo flow?

[@vincenzovieri3743]

I want a posted board which I did own for the month to try out buti crashed and yea… it was the funnest thing and smoothest ride I Ever had. It’s just so expensive now. I belive I had the black one which was needy model at around $1500 now thst model is $2000. Is there any board that’s similar in quality but better priced or should I stick with boosted? I don’t want something similar to the booster board I had.

[@levi5468]

What do you think about the backfire brand nowadays? And specifically getting the G3. I just got the G3 as my first board and went on my first ride today and I must say the speed is really addictive. S mode is already plenty.

[@eBoard3R]

⚡ *Very valid points about weight,* for me personally, 11kg is now my max for a main board but prefer under 10kg ⚡ That Aiden edit was awesome! 😂 the way he popped up slowly 😂😂 👏🏼👏🏼 I defo think this style, shorter DKP board is best suited with 90mm wheels max. Also ends up savin weight too. 105s are great for bigger/longer drop-through boards. It's interestin that the LE version is 13S, rather than 12S for the standard version. Wonder what inspired Aiden to make that choice. I use the Tuya to reduce torque 😂 more range and just my preference, I'm light so I don't like too much torque lol. I would advise people to replace the 20mm riser to a 10mm riser, the default 20mm riser is only really good if you put AT wheels on this, for 90-105mm wheels the 20mm riser is too high, too much leverage so bit less stability. Personally I prefer 3mm-5mm risers for boards. Great to now have a cheaper, lighter option! I also much prefer Hobbywing to other ESCs. Ooo, didn't know that about the washers, now I want some of those 😂 They don't look as restrictive as precision ones but more restrictive than standard ones, which is awesome, the happy medium. Worth changin roadside front bushings to 90a, and boardside front to 93a, best of both worlds, keepin the back 100a. I really enjoyed the TKP segment! I prefer TKP with rake and DKP but always curious about TKP options from the different brands. Great review!!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@projectmayhem2330]

You can’t take the riser pads off on the regular Stinger, unfortunately, massive bite on motor guards, pity because I want it lower. Love the board though, it’s amazing

[@DanielKwan]

What if you take off the motor guards?

[@projectmayhem2330]

@@DanielKwan only makes a couple of mm different. With the riser pads out, the rear deck touches almost immediately, there only a few centimetres clearance

Can you use a 1/2 rubber riser instead? Will it still rub? That with tightening the rear bushing a bit.

Damn my 18s Flux is almost 50 lbs. :o I never pick it up tho, not sure why people are picking up thier boards?

[@nerdvsgravity1387]

I would disagree with what you are saying about weight. I thought that the weight mattered but after owning an exway flex around 22lbs, I would say the thing that kills me the most is having to bend my arm while carrying it due to the length. I would much rather have a board that is a but heavier due to a battery with almost double the capacity of my current board that I could hold with a straight arm. I think the tiny stinger is going to be my next board

[@DanielKwan]

Let me know how you feel about carrying it once you have it

[@michaelwagner6410]

It must be because of your weight. Because this board is extremely maneuverable. I guess getting those 100A barrel cups to lean easily you have to weigh at least 170 pounds? I wouldn't think so though. I want to have the option to lean super far without having hyper sensitivity at high speeds. Seems like the perfect balance. It's the only way to put DKP on this board without all of Tynees customers eating sh*t I suppose. The wide wheelbase allows you to really spend more time leaning and to feel like your surfing. I believe that's what Aiden was thinking. It also looks pretty mean.

Hi Daniel! First of all, fantastic job on your e boards reviews. I respect your opinion the most therefore i used your promo code to buy 2 of my 3 boards (my first was wowgo mini in 2017 or 2018) didnt know you back then. Later i got wowgo 3 and now tynee stinger the heavy one. You have changed the risers to 1/8 but on tkp. Im thinking to change my stock to 1/3. What do you think about this idea? Or would you still recommend to change them to 1/8 like you did on tkp? Im very much your size about 68kg. Skating regular skateboard since was 13 and will do a kickflip even when wome up at 3am in storm boots in 3 tries 😂 but had a many years break and dont consider myself as pro. Just saying so you know im also not total amateur but would really appreciate your opinion. I will hold with my purchase for few days hoping you will find few minutes to read this and respond. Anyways all the best and keep doing amazing job!!!

@@jaznam1 I have. I don’t think they make any noticeable difference in vibration dampening. I feel like they’re more for protecting the deck.

For all of these chinese brands youll be even at best with the range rating IF you weigh under 120 pounds and ride slow and in a straight line without slowing down with all of that youll be even youll never beet it. Im sure some brands do have honest ratings but that's generally how it is.

The turn radius is much tighter and overall easier to maneuver with DKP. You must be REALLY light. This thing turns on a dime

[@SouthIslandSk8]

The LE cant get up hills LOL. 12 kilos for the standard one, that's heavy for sure but it's manageable. As long as you aren't one of these new woke stringy female looking kinda guys you can pick it up and walk with it And this is how it is, batteries are where the weight is, without the full set of batteries you can't get up a steep hill. I live up a 50% incline, 1.5km hill and the stinger takes me home (200lbs) with another 30kg of shopping!

i just dont love the design, its immature imo and I think evolve is very far ahead in that aspect... In fact many e skate brands suffer from their design language i think
