Awesome review!! It's great to see Loaded getting back into eskate. Not everything needs to go 40 mph with 50 miles of range.

[@DrewElia]

Couldn't agree more! This board feels like a true shred head kinda board, a throw back to original skateboarding. Thanks for checking out the video my man, hope to ride with you soon!

[@DanBlake3rd]

Agree with all Drew. I bought an Onirique for neighborhood cruising with the kids, running to the pool and the mailbox. I find myself grabbing it often, loving the carve and the aesthetics. Such a beautiful board.

[@DrewElia]

That is awesome! Totally agree with you!

[@Acherus1432]

Beautiful deck by Loaded! Totally reminds me of the Omakase deck, but in a good way! Love the flairs on the deck and the absolutely gorgeous underside! The colors really pop and stand out from the Omakase's underside. Great stuff as always Drew!

[@DrewElia]

I totally agree! I love the Omakase board as well! this definitely has similarities to it but it feels really really good under the feet. thanks for the support! really appreciate it my man!

One of the most honest range claims I've seen. Wowgo would've said "up to 20 miles range".

[@DrewElia]

Range claims are always so hard, they normally have an * saying the rider is 110lbs riding in mode 1 on flat surface at 7mph to achieve the range claims. That’s why I always state my range claims with my weight and riding style. I live with my boards for several weeks when testing them using them every day for errands or just fun rides or testing purposes. I like to give real world facts based on the useage.

[@eBoard3R]

⚡⚡ *That openin, was EPIC, you could say it took "my breath away"* ⚡⚡ It's so nice to finally see soneone skatin this with the back foot in that "pocket" behind the back truck, it's way more fun ridin like this! Hardly any of the Evolve footage had that, mostly on top of the back truck, less fun and I say doesnt look as awesome 😂 Personally I like a flatter nose on a deck, and I dont know high wheel wells but I know a lotta people like them a lot so it will suit them. I'm happy to see Loaded continuin woth and gettin deeper into esk8! Dude, you pronounced the name as good as a frenchman 😲 I'm gonna be pronouncin it like our infamous Del Boy (legendary UK TV character). 😂 So glad the wheelbase is a little longer than Stoke but mostly that it has a bigger battery than the Stoke, but not too big and it's somehow lighter. 😂 I was gonna say the length and wheelbase is not unlike the Meepo Flow 👀 then I saw the comparison pics at the end, was not expectin that, longer wheelbase on the Onirique, nice! 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Still not a fan of dual trigger remotes but I know some people like it. My god those side profile shots showin off the kicktail, etc 🤩 Needs tail protection 😭 Dude what I love about the "mini" DKP boards is the ability to grab by the rear truck and roll it when not ridin it, so much easier than carryin a mini in your hand 😂 This was a Lotta fun to watch!!

[@DrewElia]

Thanks so much for your support brother! Im glad that I "took your breath away" haha The design of the deck I felt it was the only place I could put my feet and it felt right! the front nose area was a bit different, but felt good once got into the grove especially for slides and stability, also those front trucks being so much further a head made a big difference in ride feel. I agree, i've been a huge fan of loaded for so may years, have a few of their boards in my quiver still and to be able to test this one out was a honor for my younger self haha. I took French for years and truly love the language and culture, I hope I pronounced it right, maybe ill ask Samo if I did that correct 😂😂😅 I agree on the choice of bigger battery, it's so lightweight and nimble and brings you back to true skateboard roots. I wanted to showcase it against other boards to really show off Loaded design choice. Yeah the dual trigger remote took several rides to get used to, but I like the top down screen, so if you're a lefty or right you can see everything still, top down remote with a wheel would be chief kiss. the tail could use some protection maybe some clear bumper? agree the bash guard has a really good feeling hold to it and being able to stand straight up at 6' and walk with it dragging is nice. again loaded and evolve knew what they were doing. cheers bravo, thanks for your input, always appreciated and I look forward to seeing you here in the comment section!

[@eBoard3R]

@@DrewElia I used to think I'd like the front truck to be really high up on the nose to make a longer wheelbase, Once i got the Flow, I realised I don't like it too far up 😂

[@myleschatman8583]

Mini boards are a load of fun. Highly recommend even if you have a longboard style currently. I went from mini 5 to Atlas pro and the differences are crazy but both boards are so much fun! And minis r so great for errands

[@DrewElia]

Totally agree! Everyone should have a mini in the quiver!

[@willlawson6126]

I would LOVE to see more decks that are designed by longboard/skateboard companies like this. I love the Bustin Boards Eskates because they are a longtime longboard brand that decided to jump in, but woth their take on it.

[@DrewElia]

Agree I’ve tried a bustin and love skate minded it felt!

[@DarkStar27183]

What an awesome board! I especially like the grip tape art and the deck itself. So unique and refreshing to see since most eboards look so similar nowadays. A bit pricey tho 😅

[@DrewElia]

Glad you like it! I agree, its a stand out as far as the more blacks and grey colors of the other companies. Thanks for checking out the video! if you haven't yet please make sure to subscribe more content coming out!

Good review ! Can’t wait its sold in France !

Thank you!!!

Yes love the channel and your content.

[@DrewElia]

I appreciate that

[@kuyaMERLIN]

Loaded is one of my favorite brands and I'm glad they kept it light enough to attract newcomers to esk8. Def wanna see this board in Dad bod wheels.

[@DrewElia]

I don’t know if it will fit 105? The cags on it are honestly perfect in my opinion. With the dadbods you might loose the carving nature of the ride feel

[@juanjosehiribarren4619]

Fantastic review, already bought the presale here in Chile! pretty excited with this new board

Congratulations hope you save a few bucks off using my code as well!!!

Thanks brother

[@santiagozaffaroni7090]

Meepo Flow or Onirique? Which one have better quality ? Onirique worth the difference between them?

[@DrewElia]

both are quality, but the ride feel of the Onirique from loaded has a different feel to it. more skateboard snappy feel. could be the wheels or the bushing choice. but the deck shape more me holds my feet planted and i love that. the flow though is a stupid good price and a great package for the specs. long distance, fast charger, powerful, carve, just wish that the deck was not so close to the stoke deck. I wish that they went a different choice, but people are deck swapping them out which leads to interesting possibilities

[@evtechsteven]

great review as usual!

[@DrewElia]

Thanks brother

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

Hi drew ! I got a question for you : have you ever test the stoke ? Can you tell me the feeling riding difference between the stoke and the onirique ? I know you rode the meepo flow which is closed to the stoke. So maybe you are able to compare ? Thanks for it !

[@DrewElia]

So actually the flow is more power and longer range than both the stoke and Onirique. That being said the Onirique is plenty of range and power for me great carve feel and awesome deck. The stoke is the same power but the battery is smaller, same trucks and wheel options. But the deck from loaded personally makes it better for me I’m a taller guy and that deck is longer and the wheel flairs give me a better locked in feeling!

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

@@DrewElia many thanks drew ! I create esk8 content in France (sadly… it is not really developed in our country !) and I had a question about that. Thanks to you, I will be able to answer to one of my sub. Thanks again ;-)

[@DrewElia]

@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks I follow you already! Love your work!!

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

@@DrewElia thanks to you Drew ;-) Sadly, i can't produce more Esk8 content maybe due to thje fact that french market is less interristing for brands ? Thanks to scott Davies, i may receive a flow by meepo for testing ;-) we will see if there is other opportunities ! Cheers ;-)

[@willlawson6126]

This deck 😍

[@DrewElia]

I love it!

[@jer0006]

how does the deck compare to loaded omakase as they look similar? Would be curious to see how it rides with the Dad bod wheels from orangatang and how that affects range...

[@DrewElia]

Very similar stance and ride feel, though I’m not sure the Dadbods would fit on here with our riser pads? Only because of potential wheel bit at hard carves?

[@bfranco1519]

Is this electronics package reliable?? Evolve had problems in the past with the controller disconnecting and throwing people on the ground. Love Loaded boards though…

[@DrewElia]

ive been riding it with no issues at all, I know people have had issues in the past with ESC issues, but I haven't experienced it with any of my boards from them!

[@stephenhartley3292]

Not going to lie that deck is a beautiful thing, hard pass on the rest of the board, my first board was a bamboo gt and I loved it right up to the point it started cutting out randomly, of course I kept riding it cause I loved it until the day it cut out during hard carving and I fell badly fracturing my tibia and rupturing my ACL and PCL, it was over 12 months before I could walk without pain and a limp, hope loaded sell that deck separately ❤ love your content Drew 🤙

[@DrewElia]

Oh Jesus my man, sorry for the fall! That’s insane! Thanks for checking out the video though and supporting the channel! You’ve always been an amazing support! Appreciate you!

[@SS8styles]

😳 hold up wtf, how does that happen and how do you prevent an e board from cutting out like that? Are there certain characteristics that have a higher risk of that?

[@stephenhartley3292]

@@SS8styles like anything electronic they can be fine one minute and not the next, it is only a small percentage that this happens, minimise the risk by looking after the board, not riding in wet conditions or through puddles, and wear safety gear and you should be good 👍

[@EmmaLundin-v5t]

Hello, can you put bigger wheels on this one without wheel bite? Also, this board has the old smaller motors that used to overheat? I like it but a bit expansive. Thanks

[@DrewElia]

With the loaded deck you can probably fit some larger wheels on here. I would think that maybe you would have to put some riser pads on it though if you’re running 100-110mm wheel size. Personally the cags are perfect for this board. Just as an every day ripper.

[@EmmaLundin-v5t]

Thank you, would like MAD 105s to handle a bit rougher surfaces though. @@DrewElia

[@DrewElia]

@user-tz5oo8ji4b yeah I would think that with risers it would fit, but at the sacrifice of range!

[@EmmaLundin-v5t]

Yes, but pretty sure you can ask for the bigger 38T pulleys when ordering the board. @@DrewElia

[@Awesome-wc8fe]

I am interested in this board but it is a bit pricey. Would you have any recommendations of boards that are similar but maybe a bit better bang for your buck? Im from Aus so Evolve do appeal to me. Would also be buying my first eboard and want it mostly to carve and have sone fun

[@DrewElia]

in this category there are a few DKP carver boards, if you check out my other reviews on my channel of the Tynee Stinger, and the Meepo Flow those two are a carve style board with great specs as well!

[@Awesome-wc8fe]

@@DrewElia thanks for your response! What are your thoughts on the Tynee Mini 2, it's on sale in Australia, super cheap and the specs look better

[@samvice86]

nice review! =) Have 2 question: 1. i am tall as you 6.5 feet and have US 14 in shoe size, do you think i will have problem with wheel bites when i carve? if my foot is placed like yours in the video all the way back ? 2. Do you think it will be possible to put "CLOUDWHEEL Hydro 100mm Urban All Terrain Off Road Electric Skateboard Wheels" ? Thanks ahead =)

[@DrewElia]

No, you’ll be fine, the stance on this board is perfect for taller guys, wheel bite only if you put larger wheels on it, evolve and loaded dialed the bushing set up near perfect on this with their choice of 85mm wheels. 100 mm potentially might fit but you would want to tighten up the bushings due to potential wheel bite at that point. Not sure what they could fit but 100-105 might really be pushing it

[@samvice86]

@@DrewElia thanks for the good reply :) yeah little that I thought and then you probably need “risers” but can imagine that it will take away little about the feeling of the board

[@djo0164]

how tall are you? tnx I'm 6'1" wonder if it's gonna be short for me

[@DrewElia]

I'm 6' 220 lbs I didn't feel cramped on the board at all due to the loaded deck length and truck placement was further out so its just stable and fun

[@weeeriksson4598]

Can you put 105 mm wheels on this board without wheel bite? cheers

[@DrewElia]

I’m not 💯 sure on that exact specific size, you may under hard turns get some , but the wheel flair is pretty decent and the front trucks come out a little further than normal eskate

[@jobari122]

What’s the top speed on it?

[@DrewElia]

22mph

[@jdbaddad]

I’m torn between this and the onsra challenger….is the evolve a lot loader? The challenger is so ugly too😂

[@DrewElia]

Depends on you! If you like the look of this board loaded did a great job with the deck, the battery is upgraded which is nice but I belive the challenger is bigger battery and faster, it all depends on what YOU want out of the board

[@ChrisLopez-wv2wl]

They need to price down there board's, there is so much competition/companies that make better boards that have more range and stronger motors. The only thing this board has is purely cosmetic.

[@DrewElia]

Yes there are other boards with better specs, but loaded crafted the deck and with their years of experience it truly feels amazing under foot. I don’t always need to go 35mph for 50 miles. Sometimes times I just need a light weight board to grab groceries or run an errand. Or something that’ll perform amazing in slides and pump tracks. This fits that bill

[@Rastex42]

onirique vs tynee stinger !? ;)

[@DrewElia]

The Tyne stinger price/spec beats the Onirique but that loaded deck is a master piece of tech and it’s so dialed in. The Tyne stinger definitely has an awesome deck design too, and with a few tweaks, ( new wheels lower riser pads) you can dial that board in to be amazing! And 544wh of battery and insane torque lets you rip around anywhere!

[@Rastex42]

@@DrewElia what riser pads would you suggest? i see i can remove the motor belt cover to make some room free...

[@DrewElia]

@Rastex42 I’m not sure I would want this higher off the ground? I love the lower center of gravity on this deck for that reason, but maybe 2-3mm riser pending on what wheels you’re trying to fit?

[@Rastex42]

@@DrewElia i mean to lower the stinger i need to change the massive riserpad to something thinner... how thin can i go is the question :)
