BETTER THAN BOOSTED BOARD - HALF THE PRICE

Like Boosted, but better. Same range, speed, and size, but one important feature the Boosted board doesn't have... Dual in-wheel Direct Drive Brushless Motors and no belt drive to replace! If you were wanting a Boosted board forever. You will thank me for this video. Enjoy the ride without all the gears and belt drives!

[@turbofan67]

Looks like a nicely finished board. I just got a Koowheel V2 and love it. The Koowheel has twin 350w motors, and easily the same range. I got it last week ,so haven't had a chance to ride it till the battery is exhausted, but I went 6 miles on it and the 40% battery warning didn't come on. I paid AU$800 ,which is about US$630. These electric skateys are so good, I turned 51 this year and have never had so much fun.

[@Mendezfarriercompany306]

I think koowheel is my first out of all I have looked at

[@afreemanreigns]

Thx for the support on the old guys, in my mid 50's and still surf, skate and motocross plus train and breed K9's which to be honest keeps me in shape just as much as the anything I have ever done. This board is radical, can not imagine skating with a brush-less motor around the block could be super cool with the dogs. Thx for sharing!

[@dronecamps]

Absolutely! You are welcome. I’m from Cape Hatteras Carolina where the old guys are still taking waves from young guys. And to this date one of the best ramp skaters on the island is in his late 40s and still killing it. About training canines really keeps you on your toes. My old Australian healer lived to be 17. He went surfing and camping with me everywhere I went. He sure was my buddy and my best friend.

[@VenusandMaiku]

Wait, so this guy is claiming it's better without trying the boostedboard?

[@ronnieescorpisojr6191]

Maiku Wong I was hoping he would have performed a full-stop test and acceleration test while on the board. A little disappointed with this review for outplaying the Boosted Board without including a side by side comparison.

[@SlowJoe76]

Maiku Wong agree he's going by what's written on paper

[@normiemango]

Yes all the clearance bs he says ab the boosted is bs cuz I've used my boosted for 1 year and no rocks have destroyed me whatsoever.

[@mikes2381]

A S like seriously, who rides over 1/2" rocks!? Just avoid rocks! You should be doing that anyway. I don't even know how many times I've hit a little rock with my wheel and done my best impersonation of Superman in flight.

[@coolkidscarclub]

Hill test would be nice.

[@mikes2381]

Thanks for bringing this up. Cool board. Belt drives are not just "old tech". They have their place. You can put Much larger motors on a belt drive system rather than an in-hub design. You have customizability with different motors and wheels and even gearing. Say you move to a more hilly area and want taller gears for steeper slopes. Say you want a better/stronger motor or it burns out. Say you want a 2kW motor because you're nuts. You can't do that with hub motors. But they are more maintenance. Deck certainly looks like bamboo on my screen. Maybe a maple core... How does one ride this board without the battery??? Lol. The grip tape is too grippy? Why not just give it 5 stars? Is giving something 5 stars such a bad thing?

[@isaaclyonsf1]

@40 Life I agree, my £200 budget build has a single belt drive motor and it climbs 20% hills and has an electronically limited top speed of 20mph.

[@Jack_Meadows]

Nice review! Personally, I'm still buying the boosted board (ordered it today). I may upgrade to an in-wheel motor board later, but for me, the torque and acceleration of belt driven is so much better, that I'm willing to deal with the maintenance. They also seem to have really good customer service and I know if something goes wrong, I can send it in. The Pomello board seams really cool though!

[@von770]

Jack Meadows I’ve had a B.B. V2 for about a year now, and it’s required almost no maintenance. I’ve had to change to belts once (around 450ish miles) and it wasn’t that big of a deal. I have almost 1,000 miles on it and haven’t had any issues so far. I LOVE it.

[@user-kz1kk4kr2k]

They're actually out of business. So nothing with customerservice and replacements

[@kisherefilm]

Awesome review ... I am 35 and have been toying with the idea of getting an electric skateboard for a while. Boosted boards are way out of my price range so this looks like a good option. I have just bought a non-electric longboard to get my skills up. Keep up the great content :-)

[@HiTechKing]

It doesn't matter if it looks exactly like a boosted board if it works and is reliable like boosted with lower price than it's better

[@Jonathan-L]

Thumbs up to the guy who did the video production! A welcome change to have proper sound levels of the voice & background music. Nicely done!

[@rebar-king]

I like the price point and concept. I was instrumental in creating the first motorized skateboard. Motoboard International came out of Sunnyvale CA in the mid 70’s. I still have a original prototype hanging in my shop. Personally I rip around on a Inboard. Yes at 61 years young bitches.

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

84 watt charger, nice. Curious what batteries they are using. The warning about the not riding without the battery is probably because of inductive spikes and motor electric feedback. My guess is they take this energy and pit it back into the battery. So without the battery a fast so would generate power and have no place to go and damage the board. Just like a fast stop with a prop on a quad motor blowing out the ESC. In fact, it has to have ESC’s for each motor, probably all built on the board. Maybe version two will have a separate main board and esc’s so of this happens they can be replaced. I think I’ll wait for someone to damage the main board, buy it broken and fix the board. A good remainder for all is if your not going to ride for a while don’t keep the battery fully charged. You will be able to get m,re use out of the battery. I would keep the LED about 70% if you can. But with such a fast 1.5 hour charger it’s not a big deal. To charge that last 30% would be fast, probably under 30 minutes as you get ready to leave and pack up.

[@Schradermusic]

Is that why the cheap ESCs sometimes just burn for no apparent reason?

[@marleyaxton123]

pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

[@richardachilles5601]

@Marley Axton Yup, I have been using flixzone for since november myself =)

[@seancrandal8405]

Sweet board. I have been researching so many of these. Meepo is a great contender and highly similar.

[@dronecamps]

You’ll have to ride this one man. Love the flex of it

[@RickyG225]

@@dronecamps I think DCRC is doing some promo for the company here for sure!

[@collision1988]

This almost feels like a sponsored video :D Most unknown brands make mistakes, on paper it looks good, but what i want is a review by someone who has ridden this for a few months. Cuz usually these break or problems start to appear after like a month of riding. Battery pack usually fries the contacts and it doesnt work anymore. Also, the hub motors can be low quality and start to spin around the axis, tearing a wire or worse, breaking the hub motor. Depends on the acceleration and ur weight. Belt systems are more reliable, appart from the belts breaking.

[@purplecircle7413]

MadOss my friend bought a genesis board( a no name electric skate board) that had good specs and it performed amazing for about 1 week, then the esc fried and the hub motors burned out. After spending 150$ in repairs the battery holder came off while he was bombing a hill and he flew off . People always ask what are the specs but unless the board can last , it doesn’t matter

[@kennethmark260]

It broke the first week

[@americansoldier7776]

Justin! Great to see you’ve joined the electric skateboard craze! I’ve owned several boards, currently the Evolve GT and Zboard 2 Pearl Edition.

[@charlesbcraig]

Thanks for the review! Just got my Meepo 1.5 and I love the hub motors, so quiet!

[@dizzyfpv4903]

removable battery means you can check it in with your luggage, take battery on board with you 🤟

[@dronecamps]

Yep they are Airline certified batteries.

[@aaronrapaport5460]

The Boosted board has a 6-7 mile battery that is removable. Which is airline certified because it is 99wh.

[@Igelpapa368]

Drone Camps RC Isn't be battery way to big to take it on a flight? On gearbest it says 208wh. I thought 100 was max. So how do you travel with it? I am really interested in it and would live to use it when traveling.

[@dizzyfpv4903]

Paolo Picariello don’t confuse milliwatt hours with Watt hours ✌️

[@Igelpapa368]

Dizzy Fpv BATTERYCAPACITY : 5800 mAh BATTERYRATE : 208 Wh 😉 I know! My question is still the same

[@HomeGrownCanadianFPV]

woohoo... was thinking boosted for spring... so looking into this one... big time Thank You... what a treat this review

[@lmwarfare8711]

HomeGrownCanadianFPV don’t buy this shitty board, hub motors are so trash cause they have no responses to the controller, and u can’t replace the rear wheels

[@LeoMarleyCavada]

No boosted....but not even this one....there's tons of better board out there...trust me....this is good....but there's a lot of options even with HUB Motors....

[@edwin6690]

I would stay away from “direct drive” or hub motors. They have no gearing (like belt driven systems) so they stall uphill. Belts are not difficult to change. Hubs are basically motors wrapped in a 1/4” of urethane. The ride is bumpy. You’ll wince on every sidewalk crack because you’re rocking the motors with every thump. Be aware that electric skateboards require maintenance. Boosted provides incredible customer service. I don’t know if this clone has a US service shop that does repairs. $700 is a lot of money to burn even if it’s less expensive in the moment.

[@thomasjepsen6750]

You should check out the backfire 2, costs 500 dollars. It's a great board

[@MrNaysh]

I bought the EGO Cruiser back in 2014 and that board was being call a knock-off Boosted. This one take it up a level another level lol! The swappable battery is a huge plus though. Something Boosted should've implemented on their new V3.

[@dazzlekernow1408]

That is why a Technics turntable back in the day was so popular. Direct drive!

[@dronecamps]

That’s right. Fan boys will try to bend the truth. ;)

[@RickyG225]

However, a bit more wow and flutter with DD TT!

[@jayyyRS4]

Belt driven is always better than hub motors... You'd have to ride one to know of course... Braking power + acceleration is more important than a small belt replacement every 100+ miles...

[@plankhill]

Here is an Idea for ground clearance... Portal axles, in combination with the brush less. Pit the axle on top of the board, and have portals stretching below, or just do it all underneath for even more ground clearance ...

[@richardhammond8422]

I was thinking same thing with an added gear ratio for larger off road meats

[@Solstice_4.0]

I’ve been riding boosted for a year now and haven’t had any trouble from the skid plates

[@dankquixote]

Onewheel is worth a look too. Been using it for a year, it's a blast

[@afreemanreigns]

Notice the old school mag wheels, looks like they used the red stripped Hot Wheels, sharp board and review.

[@guggli89]

Dope review! You need to get of that high horse that's stopping you giving out 5/5 or full marks. If something has no faults and ticks all the boxes then do it justice. Yes another iteration might come out in the future that betters it but we don't live in the future.

[@dronecamps]

My horse is a Mini pony.

[@CaptainJack63]

I learned that the reason Boosted board have the belt drive was to improve the acceleration over the direct drive. How is the acceleration of the Pomelo ver Boosted? The ability to swap batteries and a decent price is a clear winner for me.

[@Big_Mike25]

Love this video I think I might treat myself to a electric board next month, thanks for the video

[@dphotos007]

I am 60 and was thinking about an electric skate board but I went with an electric RadRover electric bike. Thing is when you get older and you take a bad fall on a skateboard it takes a long time to recover and I still have to work. This board looks nice but I would like to see a longer range longer than 7 miles. Think a newer board should get double that. 7 miles can go by very quickly.

[@xisleprez]

Great review and really nice camera work throughout

[@ghostc3566]

My meepo mini takes me 210 pound self 28 mph easily and accelerates really fast paid 645 for it including shipping it gets claimed 22 miles of range with the extended battery which I have I’m a little on the heavier side so I’m getting around 17-19 miles of range

[@JRBORIQUA7]

First time on ur channel and I find this to be a great review !!!

[@ryannitoi2993]

JR BORIQUA7 this is the worth e-board review on KZbin.

[@miniquadsmegafun3619]

Could you imagine making a quad with 4 of those 150watt motors?!? You could pretty much jump on it and fly away hahahaha

[@tobykerr5636]

that drone footage sent me into the 4th dimension

[@weiming2124]

I personally still like to have belts. Twice I had brushless motors, and twice the board failed me. No, it wasn't the motors that failed me, but the 8 screws which are used to attach the motors to the trucks. If you were to ride them out in abnormal weather (too hot or too cold), it might degrade the screws. For me, they eventually snapped after 3-4 months and since the screws were snapped, that means the top was stripped so I can't even remove the screws. I had to send it back for warranty. Even though I received a brand new one, the same exact thing happened.

[@beepboopbaplawl]

Wei Ming why didnt u change the screws after 2 months if you knew about the problem? You could've used the second board longer.

[@furiousfilth1768]

When your whole perception of reality is on a limited plane. You will find any glimpse of the infinite complexity of the cosmos confusing to one’s cortex

[@Klangstar]

EDIT: Forgot to ask, how is the drag when you peddle? On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being like a conventional board peddle and 10 being, can't peddle at all when the battery dies or is low. Thanks again for the review! ORIGINAL POST: Solid review bro. I wanted a boosted board when they first came out, but it's too pricey. I feel like the Boosted brand is like iOS and this P5 is like Android. And I'm a 100% Android guy. Also, you definitely pointed out the weakness of the Boosted board, with that old ass tech. I'mma still shop around but this P5 review is convincing, though I might just get modular kits and strap it on to my favorite Sector 9 board. Don't know yet. There are so many electric boards out there nowadays and I'm just looking for a great board for a great price.

[@jamytekiefte1131]

@ 9:11 you can read there that the deck is made from bamboo and glasfiber

it looks like bamboo from the bottom and has a sheet of fiberglass for stiffness.

[@wolfgangbloodymeatsack1687]

what about the Meepo AWD GT? any thoughts?

[@TheMattortola]

First time watching your channel.. I live in Portland so 5 stars lol. I've been thinking boosted, gotta try one of these now!

[@DosLosTomatos]

I also own one of these! The only thing that scare me is the urethane around the hub motors. It's starting to get a little worn and I'm scared that I'll have to change the whole motors once completely consumed. Anybody knows if it is possible to change?

[@orangeboy97]

Great work man, awesome to see another portlander

How's the board going now? Is it still worth a buy?

[@dronecamps]

Still got it. Still riding it around. No problems so far. Takes me uphill decent with the dual motors. No issues with acceleration.

[@SimplyPops]

Nice dude, I ordered the Pomelo last week Thursday and it should arrive here this week Thursday. I can't wait.

[@Vyx25]

[@Vyx25]

SimplyPops ok thanks.

[@cooliipie]

I might buy this for a deck swap

[@Solstice_4.0]

And they have the belts on the boosted because it lets it have better speed and acceleration and braking. It take me about 3 minutes to change the belt and then I’m off and if you get a good brand of belt I can last a hundred miles before even having to change it which is very good. And you haven’t even ridden a boosted so don’t try and act like you know everything about boosted.

I take it that the screensaver on your phone is your dog? He looks just like our rescue (his name is Chance...like Homeward Bound) who was physically abused for the first 5 years of his life. The original parents went to court and was given a punishment that didn't fit the crime. The reason why I am posting is that I was wondering if you could help me out? When we adopted him the foster parents didn't know his breed or his age, so for the last 5 years we've been searching all over for another dog that looks like our Chance, to no avail. That changed today when I saw your video. What breed is your dog (at 6:16)? Thank you in advance. Great video, I intend on getting my first electric skateboard soon and your videos have helped!

[@momustafa321]

[@BigKidsOfficial]

[@Bigwingrider1800]

Well done Justin..im a 60yr young guy (a bit on the crazy side but a newbe) not sure if i like the small wheels. Im looking for an off road board strapped in kinda thing. Im a cad guy so i can draw and cut my motor mt. im looking at trampa boards and do it my self. Is this the way to go or buy and go. thanks

[@dronecamps]

Im still riding this board. I would def recommend it. Ive had no issues with it so far. Rides really smooth and holds a charge well.

[@DJ-kb2kb]

Hey Justin, what do you do about the wheels? How quickly do they wear down for someone riding +2 miles everyday? Can you replace them easily? So far I like the idea of the P5 but I want something that will last.

[@dronecamps]

So far mine are doing fine. I ride it almost 5 days a week. I haven't even had a thought about replacement yet. But yes you can swap out wheels.

[@alilekabyle7424]

Finely someone talked about the price

[@NullBlox]

How does one replace the back wheel on this? Boosted fits many dif longboard wheel companies so your not limited in that area. How does the motor wheel ride when coasting or if it locks up? Boosteds belts that you say are old tech are reliable in that way, you break a belt you are not confined to the motor. You can quickly unplug that wheel or both and cut the belts to make it more like a normal push skateboard. Im noticing your pros, are cons for me. You have me on skid plates but if the belts prevent the above, Im ok with having some plates to help. Please ride a boosted for a week then re-review this, I have a feeling you will be happy with the money spent. Also 14 mile range on my boosted and 20+MPH. You can get 30+MPH with the kegal speed hack also. Not a joke.

[@adamandlorraine]

I just noticed in the video, in manual says deck material bamboo and glass fibre

[@JacobRobersonProductions]

How does it roll when it dies? Let's say you go around 6 miles and it dies 4 blocks away from your apartment...Can you skate home like a long board? It is brushless, so I assume there is plenty of play and we should be able to skate normally right?

[@dronecamps]

They say it might hurt the logic board. But who really knows though. I think since you have regenerative motors once their spooled up then you would get power back into the system which could possibly hurt any electric skateboard with regenerative power set up.

[@AIASHS]

Does this board have the same flex as a Boosted Board? Also, it would have been nice if you did a head to head comparison with the Boosted. Things like acceleration comparison, braking, board flex, responsiveness, top speed flat, top speed on inclines, etc.

[@WFORacer]

Good intel, thanks 👍

[@aaron.4519]

You could buy the H2 Motors with the battery fully assembed on alibaba for $200. With the board maybe 280?

[@ZeroManO3]

Does it hv regenerative braking? Nice job presenting this

[@jamesandrewpeters6912]

Please do another review after 6 months. I have had boards fail after 6 months more than once. Boosted delivers after sale value, and can be maintained. My wheels keep getting chewed up with fixed wheels, and with brushless motors you can't change wheels.

[@todd5963]

Do you know the best e-board to travel overseas with? Best to be able to check onto a plane?

[@ghettotech9617]

Wow awsome board nice reveiw

[@CoyoteOne]

Forgot to mention that Evolve is the best on the market for range and top speed.

[@_JellyDonut_]

I wonder how this compares against a Backfire Board. Looks like they're about the same price and have a lot of the same specs

[@romanrudisuhli7028]

First time watching your video, I am not disappointed;-)

[@LANDandSWELL]

[@dronecamps]

I dont have any issues on hills. Portland has tons of hills here. I climb most of them no problem.

[@NovemberMoore]

Portland in the house !!

[@chrisrmarxen]

Well, you don't have to change belts but what about changing wheels? How much is a new set of wheels?

[@jockspice]

If you have a spare battery, can you charge it outwith the board, as the charge port is on the board itself?

[@darryledwards7073]

Nice board thanks for the review. You should maybe consider wearing a helmet yourself if you are going to tell others to do this... 😉

[@dronecamps]

[@TsvetanVLife]

I think i will forget about Boosted board after this review! :)

[@bashort1]

Are the wheels for the hub motors replaceable or do you have to replace the entire hub/wheel? If I can't replace just the wheel then it's a no go for me. That's my only issue with most hub motor boards. Belts are cheaper than hub motors.

[@IshamPadron]

bashort1 most important question.

[@bashort1]

MrTicohn This would be more of a toy for me so the Boosted is out of my price range unfortunately. I'm still researching and pondering.

[@shredfreak83]

I still don't like the range on these things. Battery technology needs to step it up big time.

Drone Camps RC can you climb up 25% grade hills? Do you have instant torque?

I've tried a few boards now, I have never been on a hub motor board that has come even close to a belt driven one. Maybe i'm biased because I've been riding on my Evolve GT for almost 2 years now. Another pro is that i can change out to whatever wheel I need to (hard/soft/smaller/larger/wider etc.). Of course there are always cons to belt driven, but they are cons that I definitely can live with. In my honest opinion, there is no perfect board.

Drone Camps RC hub motors are notorious for damage because the rider is basically crushing them between their weight and the bumpy road. It’s far easier to change a belt than a motor. There’s a reason high performance vehicles still use belts. And hubs are terrible on hills.

And the belts let the board go backwards on the boosted but the pomelo can’t

Curious as to warranty and quality of materials at this price point. Looks great tho

[@dronecamps]

Quality seems high. There are two warranty cards in the manual.

Hmm interesting but these motors are weak compared to boosted 2000 watt motors. I was looking the boosted but might consider this for half the cost...

How difficult do you think it would be for a non-skater to ride one of these? Is it harder than a hover board?

[@dronecamps]

Not to hard. Lots of people start out on long boards. Beginner mode helps it go slow

ChrisFPV hoverboard is harder.. I'm 69 and can't really fall.. be careful! Aloha
