Exway Wave - A premium short electric skateboard that actually has premium features

[@jaredmelnik774]

looks like the engineers decided to actually think during the design process, unlike most other e-skate companies

[@esk8jaimes]

True, but most of them have been making gradual changes; things like larger battery packs and faster motors.

[@thejesuschrist]

damn, might be time to jump the boosted ship for exway. Thanks.

[@WhiskeyDip]

An official endorsement by Jesus Christ himself.

[@KamiEpix]

Unfortunately boosted seems to have jumped ship themselves lol.

[@ellestar2306]

Is this board still good, or any upgrades been made? I seen it on Amazon

[@jessejustsick]

I am almost tempted to get this for the integrated lighting system... and the kicktail...and the swap-able parts...and the app that I probably won't use

[@Cabry]

Well the important part about the app is the adjustable acceleration settings and the odometer and such.

[@nycjt6267]

@@Cabry also firmware updates which is pretty important

[@frizsld6793]

lol trust me you're gonna use the app because there's software updates and adjustable acceleration curve tensity

[@ZanderRound]

Boards are finally getting to the quality we all want and have the features we’ve all been asking for, love this board

[@esk8jaimes]

And it's a budget one too!

[@brandonrose8123]

Inboard M1 had all these features, and they were the first to do hub motors...too bad they're now defunct

[@fred4794]

@@brandonrose8123 Yeah but Inboard M1 is not a budget board. It's quite expensive alone and thinking that you must get spare batteries to get a decent range, yeah it's really expensive.

[@imandrewt]

You deserve way more subscribers. Your videos are the most thorough and enjoyable electric skateboard videos on KZbin. Awesome video Daniel!

[@esk8jaimes]

This! ^

[@mishgan7784]

Yessssss I was waiting on this so long

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Great video.loving the current theme !!

[@Dave-ho1bs]

Hi all, A noob question here, can the exway wave brake light be turned off? I'd rather not draw the attention to myself.

[@LIVITLUVIT]

Yea my thoughts also

[@sk8ordie96800]

Haha you’re awesome man thanks for another great review. Love your humor and clean transitions/editing.

[@chrisgardiner9565]

Damn you already are riding the wave and my flex hasn’t even arrived

[@godlytechreviews4]

That's because he lives in China

[@skatebolt4609]

How long do you wait

[@Kim_Alexander]

it's too bad that the trucks are way too wide for a small bord. I'm longing for the day when you get a proper electrical slalom board. Or just a board like with say 120-150mm trucks as 50-degree baseplate. 45degre are downhill degrees nothing that you want a small cruiser.

[@jeremyjung3200]

He should test the wave with all terrain wheels🤣 that would be a great vid.

[@esk8jaimes]

Yes!

[@IllusionInHD]

Just pre-ordered it, lets pray I receive it before July of 2021 👏🏻

[@qyuanpan3090]

Jad can I get one

[@fiyahwayne495]

When it's broken you wont have anyone to call

[@BoyangSun]

打你哦宽 lmao hahaha. For those of you who can't read chinese, in the title he wrote Daniel Kwan Reviews in Chinese, but his name is a play on sound that actually reads as "Beat you up Kwan Skateboard"....clever

[@AkteGames]

And it's still illegal in my country... :(

[@esk8jaimes]

Same here in the UK. We ride regardless, it's not our fault the laws are so drastically outdated.

[@CH-ol5rh]

Same in China...

[@parioceanchicago]

Exway is so innovative on many points. I don't understand why other brands and the DIY don't copy it.

[@MisterGames]

Your title said affordable. I didn't hear a price mentioned.

[@esk8jaimes]

Probably the same price as the Flex model or slightly more.

[@jankoman]

can you do an incline test?

[@bangel2310]

In 2024, would you get a tynee mini pro 3 or a exway wave ?

[@centurion_ratslayer]

Hey Daniel so I ordered my flex in beginning of July or the second batch of exway flex. I live in Canada when could I expect my board to arrive

[@xHAZExTHExDEADx]

a queen is never to late, everybody else is simple to early

[@bookmark2846]

I'm a little torn. I ordered the Flex yesterday but six months from now when it finally arrives, I'm fearing Exway will release a 2.0 version with swappable batteries and the "party in the rear" lights. I hope Exway releases a direct drive kit. That would be sweeet!

[@blank3406]

im going to be pissed if they release a new board before i get my Flex i ordered 2 months ago

[@gregsun247]

@@blank3406 been waiting 3 months. Im not even sure if ill even get it anymore

[@shassafrass1770]

I've been hesitating on getting a new eboard since i prefer short boards. Been hovering over exway flex for months, so glad I waited!

[@andrewalder4530]

Have you enjoyed this board?

[@gyimstone]

Quick question: where did you get the strap to hold your board over your shoulder?

[@DanielKwan]

I forget. It’s a yoga mat sling.

[@notbriann]

RIPIP boosted :(

[@ai-whisperer]

the strap for carrying it, did you buy it or make it? Would love to know more about it, please!!

[@ImHamburg]

SAME, We need it Daniel!!

[@ImHamburg]

Its a yoga mat strap 😅

[@rudyheinandersen45]

Love your reviews. They're always entertaining, great scenography. And there's no one explaining things better than you imo.

[@wolf2085]

Great review! I was very tenpted to get the Evolve Stoke, but after finding out about the Exway Wave and then seeing this review im sold! Definitely getting one! 🤘

[@sadabnyc]

how does it compare to the revel kit on a short deck?

[@oscarlui3001]

Can the riot truck go thru a speed pump ?

[@fefyfobro]

love to see a comparison to the miles phantom

[@laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

Lol I'm gonna end up wanting to get every board you recommend at this rate.

[@luckycatdad8369]

Loved many of your reviews until you just said hubs were a mistake. The belt drive noise isn't good for some people. My Meepo Hubs give tons of torque and power, I'd never regret buying them.

[@esk8jaimes]

Hub motor purists unite!

[@seungwonlee4449]

Hey, I'm wondering what the best electric skateboard would be under $500?

[@esk8jaimes]

Perhaps the Verreal F1? Uses a single enclosure, 7ah battery, hub motors and can be swapped onto other decks.

[@chupivore]

Hi Daniel. Thanks for your video. I was going to go for the hub motors but then, I hear you said " If you bought the hub motors and realised the mistake it was...". Do you believe Belt driven is a better option ? Thanks

[@DanielKwan]

I was joking but I personally prefer belt drive more than hub motors.

[@gela77]

I also noticed the comment and was thinking the same... the problem is the maintenance... but Im more inclined to the belts... but I just want to know the specs on hub vs riot to make my final decision ^^

[@Stanz8]

Great video Daniel as always! Some comments on it: I don’t think that the battery is less water resistant if it is fully sealed like other exway batteries. Where is the ESC on this board? Is it integrated to the battery? If that’s the case, it would be more expensive to purchase every new set of battery because the ESC is integrated with it.

[@DanielKwan]

I believe it’s between the deck and rear truck.

[@cramdangle]

The power light brings back memories from broken xbox 360s

[@esk8jaimes]

The red ring of death!

[@Aidan-fd2tn]

Bro how do you already have their brand new board when I’ve been waiting months for my flex

[@godlytechreviews4]

A lot of people are having the same problem

[@iamalavalamp]

Tell us about the cool carrying straps pls

[@syazni38]

Finally! I think the rear light need more extra brightness to it..

How does this compare to the meepo mini 2?

[@eudsies123]

Editing perfect as always :)

[@judasblewit]

I just got my meepo mini and I'm loving it! I was able to get it in 7 days with fast shipping. I don't want to wait 40 days to get a board. But this wave looks sick!

Judas Blewit same here meepo mini is such a beast

Expat wave is already in production. Won’t take that long!

[@jyarados3082]

I just lived in Shanghai for 2 years, but never got an electric skateboard while I was there. Do you think Jing'an and Xuhui and good locations for boarding? Any recommendations for good spots? Edit: Ha nevermind! Just recognized you driving by the Kerry Center near Jing'an station - that answers my question lol.

The wave is amazing

Wear your helmet guys. I fell on Monday on my exway x1 pro, I dont remmeber anything before waking up in the ambulance. Concussion and 7cm laceration in the back of my head, 11 staples! Not sure if i wanna ride anymore because ive been riding my whole life and now i look at the board with fear! i dont know what happened or how i fell, scary stuff,

2 days in the ICU...shitty!!

Sorry thank you for the advice

[@wolf2085]

Dont be a bitch,get back on the board bro. Ive been skating since i was a kid also,if you have never had a hard slam before that makes you reconsider skating then youre just beginning lol one love ✌️

[@123fourfivesix-g4i]

This review is about 4 years old and neither exway or their competition has, feature for feature, put out a product that is as good or better. I did just pick up one of these in 2024 and it has less than 30 miles on it but only charges to 88%

[@dudeabides3860]

i cannot put my battery back in place, the metal things are too close together wtf:(

Nice industrial designs, love it. I’m also in Shanghai and use Lou board as my main transportation. Those ridiculous long heavy raining days leaves some scarves on me. Thank god the weather is better so that I can ride it everywhere now.

[@MrSocko-bh1jb]

How can they call this a "smart battery" when it doesn`t even know when the board is updating to stop it from constantly switching of while the update is running? Also, is it cheap griptape, or sloppy applying, idk for sure, but the middle part of the griptape is not contacting the board, the griptape is so tightly applied on the edges that one can press it down in the middle. almost like an air bubble, but it is no bubble. Just stretched out griptape... Other than that, and a little wheelpunch it already got from trying it, it is an awesome board. Trucks are tighter now! No more Wheelpunches!

hi, can you confirm if Exway Wave has cruise control? Thanks

Hmm this is or the revel board xr kit(again) for my secondary/cruiser/loaner board. I do like the smart features and integrated lights but also like the flexibility of using almost any board with the revel board kit.

[@esk8jaimes]

Revel kit will fit short and long decks! 😉

[@allenm7961]

How would you compare it to the boosted mini?

[@garethsamuel3737]

What is the weight of the battery on its own? If carrying a spare battery with you (which I guess is whole point and certainly Exway's USP for this board), it would be handy info to share.. duh! ;-)

[@esk8jaimes]

Agreed!

[@sfkim44]

Why is the hub motor a bad choice? Why do you think belt drive is better? I thought most people find hub motor gives more smooth ride and able to push? Is there any thing that i am missing?

[@FaridFakhouri]

can I travel with this board on an airplane?

With the 99Wh battery you can. Not with the other battery.
