Exway Flex Paragon: The Newest Tech In Eskate

[@SinCityEsk8]

Good job exway, lots of features. Features are cool and who doesnt want a board that lets everyone know ur there?!?! Impressive

[@ExwayBoard]

Thanks, mate! It has everything we can think of for a premium street electric skateboard. You can even choose a specific lighting according to your today's wearing, and mood😄. But the interactive indicators, touch screen, and other innovative designs, not only bring you an interactive revolution but also mean safety! I think it's more cool than just lights😀

[@aki_Olive]

The Removable battery is a game changer.

[@DrewElia]

They have been doing it since the wave, other companies have tired but the wave and this system seem to be the most seamless when it comes to integration

[@EmmaLundin-v5t]

If you can afford the board and extra battery. This board is also heavy and who wants to be on a stiff longboard for that long? Stiff because you cannot have flex with these types of lights.

[@arranwilliams2523]

dang your making me want to buy a board that i dont even need because i have my S3!!! lol If i didnt already have my starter board i would be all on this one! My next board will for sure be an all terrain beast!

[@DrewElia]

If you have an S3 save up for a bigger board! More range and power

[@eBoard3R]

*Felt this!* Great edit 👌🏽👌🏽 ⚡️🤟🏽🤙🏽🤟🏽⚡️ The stick scene 😂🤣 So good to see a Big hot-swappable battery. Those belt icons 😂 Nice to see the lights have multiple colours and modes 👌🏽 Even Heisenberg couldn't 'Brake Bad," on this!

[@DrewElia]

😆 thanks bruv, appreciate you checking out the video!

[@ExwayBoard]

Thank you so much for your support to exway🙂

[@RicoWorldPeace]

Okay, I am inpressed. With this fun video and that board, Wow.

[@DrewElia]

That’s so much for checking out the video!

[@AllanPowell]

good to see you survived the casino buffet

[@clutchesguyinmichigan]

😂

[@DrewElia]

This was filmed months ago 😂 but survived is correct !

[@Esk8Nomad]

Got to admit I’m very jealous of this one

[@paulr3556]

Seems like a suped-up Backfire Zealot with Multicolored multifunctional LED lights and detachable higher voltage battery. Very similar remote too to Backfire, all good steps in the right direction.

[@paulr3556]

Tilt remote indicators is new and innovative.

[@DrewElia]

The deck has so many indicators in conjunction with the remote it’s very cool set up

[@ExwayBoard]

Thanks for the ideas. If just LED lights, we already applied at our wave a few years ago. However, the Flex 2 Pro and Flex Paragon lighting system encompasses safety brake lights, practical turn signals, and cool ambient lights, all reflecting the "beauty of practicality". The "Bifrost 2.0" smart lighting system consists of 200 LED beads, innovatively allowing for individual customization of each bead's color, brightness, and speed. It features RGB lighting (for more diverse lighting effects), customizable light settings (for more convenient human-machine interaction), and functional light interactions (enhancing the ease of use). So, we call it the Bifrost 2.0 Smart Lighting System, not just LED lights. The exway team also spent over two years working hard to make the quick swappable battery (just needs 10 seconds) for the Paragon. As you know, it's really high-demanding and challenging to use this battery structure at a flexible deck, not to mention its smallest battery size for its capacity and up to 67W external discharging functions.

That’s like saying a Tesla is just a souped-up Honda civic.

[@ssoffshore5111]

I'm digging the functional lighting system!

[@DrewElia]

Not just something pretty to look at but actually has a purpose!

[@vicfrom47]

Great video bro. The special effects are 🔥🔥 Board is sweet too

[@DrewElia]

Thank you so much for checking out my video my man!

[@esk8jaimes]

I'd love to see a direct-drive, gear or hub motor variant of this!

[@DrewElia]

Ohhhhh interesting! Love direct drive systems!

[@MorganDWinston]

getting one I’m sold

[@DrewElia]

Dope my man! You’re going to love it! Such a fun board over all! Make sure to use the discount code to save even more money off of it!

[@MorganDWinston]

@@DrewEliaI got it! It’s amazing!! But after four days, my battery stopped charging, so I had to contact services to order a new one 😢

[@worachart111]

Nice 14 S E-board with more technologies and swappable battery

[@ExwayBoard]

Yeah! it supports hot-swap 403wh high capacity battery, and 500w fast charger that can fully charge a battery within an hour. We hope there will be no more range anxiety to our customers anymore:-)

[@dinoduderocket]

Hey! Great video. Sorry if I missed it but I didn't catch what your real world range was? Would love to hear that. Thank you :)

[@dinoduderocket]

Currently in the market for a new board and torn between this and the tynee ultra X Pro. If it were your decision, which would you choose? Considering the paragon is 400 more expensive haha

[@DrewElia]

So I have the Tynee ultra X pro as well! I was going to do a comparison video of the newer street boards because they are all going to a 14s2p

[@dinoduderocket]

@@DrewElia that is music to my ears, I can't wait for that one. Subscribed with notifications on :)

[@COYOTEEXILE]

I see you are really enjoying your Insta360 ACE PRO ; ). Great video, that board looks awesome!

[@DrewElia]

Thanks my man, but I use the x3!

[@christopherviera7716]

Thank you Drew. Could you please let us know how the deck flex compares to the Exway Flex Pro? Would you say similar or is it more stiff? If it is more stiff than the Flex Pro, would you say similar to the BF Zealot S2/X? Or more flexible than them?

[@DrewElia]

its the same flex as the pro, and is flexes more than than the zealot s2/x

[@christopherviera7716]

@@DrewElia Great! Thank you Drew!

[@nishadrajmalwar1061]

Hi, how does the flex of this board compare to the Backfire Zealot X? Zealot X seems to be on the stiffer side and difficult to maneuver. How did was your experience on the Paragon?

[@DrewElia]

The Paragon is flexier than the zealot series. this has some great feed back overall when riding due to their snowboard deck tech. its enough but not to much that at high speeds feels unstable.

[@jezuzman]

Esk8con 2024 in the books ⚡ Is there an option for all white light while riding?

[@DrewElia]

Any color you want!

[@spectre_esk8]

Nice editing bro

[@DrewElia]

Thank you! I try every video to do something different!

[@akalia_07]

This board is made for me.

[@DrewElia]

Yewwww it’s a lot of fun!

[@trevorkenny]

Nice editing on this one.

[@DrewElia]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@MorganDWinston]

Unfortunately I hate to say this but First time riders are reporting issues including me. Had to request for a new battery and charger after 4 days of use the battery stopped charging. Shipping takes practically 3 weeks for replacement parts it’s a fun board but with random issues with lights falling, functions not working and batteries not charging.

[@DrewElia]

Sorry to hear that! I’ve had no issues with mine at all this is the first time I’m hearing any issues from users as well! Glad they are sending out new parts for you though good on them for making it right

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

My first esk8 was a secondhand meepo campus. This exway board is so much more advanced than anything that was out back then. This new board is a legit mode of transportation. And they probably haven’t provided a new wave update because completion hasn’t forced them to because there isn’t any.

[@DrewElia]

Truth, the wave is still an amazing piece of tech nowadays

[@sailboat7951]

Do you think the removable battery would be practical? It seemed like carrying another large battery would be cumbersome and the battery connector seems a little strange.

[@DrewElia]

It depends on you as the rider, I’ve seen people carry two batteries and swap them out mid ride as recently as esk8con in Las Vegas!!! So people do it, especially if you don’t have a stop and charge along the ride. But if you do have a stop and charge. You can power this up from 0-100 in less than an hour with the daisy chain charger. So if you’re looking for insane charging than they nailed it. Otherwise it’s got plenty of power to get you around for 20-25 miles pending your weight and riding style

[@GreggsonWong]

Dude rockin' drag queens brows🤙 Nice review💯

[@DrewElia]

Um thanks? 😂

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Dear Exway, can we have a horn attachment? Lights are cute but pointless against drivers that are looking down at there phone while driving.

[@DrewElia]

With the remote having those attachment points I’m sure that they could come out with something to hook up to that and be able to work! Good idean

[@ExwayBoard]

Roger! I forwarded it to our ACE Lab TEAM just now! Before they work it out, please kindly contact us, we might recommend some similar DIY horn first 😄

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

@@ExwayBoard Thank you :)

[@vdmx2824]

I have both onewheel and eskates and I have to say the eskates are just getting dust I should sell them all. My Onewheel is so much fun and I ride it anywhere.

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

I was considering getting a one wheel but even though everyone falls off off both the kind of injuries from a one wheel don’t seem worth the ride

[@DrewElia]

Onewheel is definitely fun, but that price to entry is high. But it’s two different worlds

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Thank you

[@DrewElia]

You're welcome

[@yohvh]

Cool but for 1200 it's a bit expensive for a 505wh board.

[@DrewElia]

So I was also Informed that they are only making 300 of these boards as well! So a limited run if you will

[@Steven-qm1xo]

very cool...👍😊

[@DrewElia]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@xishengwang9257]

In your opinion, how does it compare to the Backfire Zealot X or other boards in the same "class" I guess?

[@DrewElia]

The Samsung 50s /p42a is a really nice battery, the remote and deck are a step above when it comes to tech in this category. They truly wanted to shake up the scene with a removable battery as well and crazy fast charging for anyone who needs that. Power performance wise I would say is about the same

[@cgrim71]

Welcome back. When is the next group ride?

[@DrewElia]

Thank you. Soon I’ll post it yo

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

Drew, How brittle are the battery attachment tabs? What is the cost of replacement of the latching system?

[@DrewElia]

Very sturdy, it slides into place and locks down with the tabs that are metal. My board is also a prototype so there might be differences from mine to production.

[@Michaelajacksonfilms]

@@DrewElia Cool, Thanks :)

[@tmgasia]

I wonder if the lights on the Paragon can be put in stealth mode aka, off lights.

[@tmgasia]

Also, have had horrible experience with exways customer service. These things are a serious concern for buyers, but I don't know if they will actually make changes or just throw up more smoke and mirrors.

[@DrewElia]

@themusicgaragetmg2330 sorry that you’ve had such a horrible experience!

[@tmgasia]

@DrewElia it's emblematic of the current system, I hope it changes because the product is actually pretty good, and prices are still reasonable. It's such a shame that they've missed out on having decent customer service and come across as just there to make a quick profit.

[@jjf3934]

What would be better this or the zealot x

[@DrewElia]

Both are similar in power and range, I think that the paragon offers more with features, usb c on the battery to charge your device, rexus remote is great, ( backfires is a close second ) the led light interference is awesome if you like that stuff. The deck shape are different and I love how the paragon feels as well but I would say it comes down to your style design?

[@Sir-Kay]

Right after pulling the trigger on the Tynee Ultra X(with a 2in1 150mm AT conversion kit) this morning I saw the 1st premier video on DKwan's channel & immediately cancelled it. The Paragon and Flex Pro 2 both have the things I wished the Og Flex Pro had: more range & power of course the bling(not pointless bling though) Somebody please explain to me in details that I'll regret cancelling that order.

[@ExwayBoard]

At exway, we value the rider’s experience as our top priority. This time, we revamped the whole design, combined nearly all of Exway’s technical achievements, and brought you this next generation of comfortable esk8. Besides the excellent range and power, the 10-second hot-swappable battery. a 500w fast charger that can fully charge a battery within an hour. There will be no more range anxiety. The battery pack supports 67w adaptive USB-C output, capable of charging your remote, phone, laptop, and more! And the Next-generation Rexus smart remote..All these wont let you down for sure!

[@Sir-Kay]

@@ExwayBoard Ok how that' you've got me all hyped, how does this thing land in my hands? out here in Poland, most of us can't afford eboard astronomical prices at once, we need the klarna installmental payment plan available to us meaning spreading the payment over a couple of months. I've been trying to order the Paragon from your website, without success. I've written emails & it wouldn't go through, I am not sure the emails you have on your site works until you contacted me here on some random channel. Is there a way to dm you or have a private conversation because I have cooperation proposal I won't want to discuss here in the open?

[@daflip1500]

Tynee is cheaper dependable. Not to mention Aiden and his crew's top notch customer service. Ive had my explorer for almost 2yrs and have put 1,736miles on it.

[@Sir-Kay]

@@ExwayBoard Is the GAN charger like a powerbank that can be used to charge the board without having to plug it to a power outlet/mains?

[@Sir-Kay]

@@ExwayBoard On Exway's website, they say, one would need the 36T & 44T pulleys to use the Paragon (Riot) with the 120mm cloudwheels. If one buys the Paragon the way it is with its 90mm street wheels, what pulleys came with them? aren't they 36T pulleys already? & could you explain why one would need 2 different size pulleys for just one board. All I'm asking is, what size wheels can I fit on the Paragon's stock pulleys and what exact pulley size do I need to purchase to be able to fit the 120mm cloudwheels, thank you.

[@L3AF]

if you put exway all terrain wheels on electric skateboard how dangerous / sensitive is the wheels to pebble / small rocks? i am so mixed abt buying this or a electric scooter due to Living in norway and there are small rocks everywhere

[@DrewElia]

There will always be a level of “danger” on any skateboard. Typically small pebbles aren’t an issue with these boards, the hydro wheels from exway are More rubber than urethane so they eat up the cracks and bumps!

[@hay_cici]

Do you like this board better then hurricane meepo

[@DrewElia]

Two completely different boards! This is more of a “boosted style” street board. The hurricane is a carbon fiber 2-1 bigger battery bigger motors bigger board in general! This board falls into my street style board. Check out my channel for my top 5 showdown video. The exway flex pro is in that video which is similar to this board

[@nickwild1844]

Can I remove the battery and charge it?

[@DrewElia]

yes, the removable battery allows you to charge it anywhere! it also has that output to allow you to charge your phone or computer even from usb c connection

[@juevestv]

could you replace the belt motors with hub motors?

[@DrewElia]

That’s a good question, cause you could swap out in the past the drive trains not sure if the flex series would be compatible… I’ll get back to you
