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

Exway Wave discount info below this paragraph. Exway Wave has a number of features that we've all been wanting in a well-built electric skateboard, such as truly swappable battery (no tools required) and a functional brake light. The compact form factor should make it a popular everyday board. Although I have not yet done a range test, I have ridden this board many times for short trips. I'll publish an in-depth written review at dkwan.com after doing a range test. If you just care about the range, I'm 69 kg and should get about 18-20 km on flat ground.
⚠️ As of June 2021, Exway Wave's battery capacity has been reduced to 180Wh.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

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

Great video.loving the current theme !!

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

[@rudyheinandersen45]

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

[@nathanariganello1653]

I love how dkwan puts so much effort into videos

[@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! 🤘

[@JoseARubio]

Great review Danniel thanks for your work. Btw I love your color grading, very much on point

[@eudsies123]

Editing perfect as always :)

[@zeth609]

wow amazing. Thanks Daniel, I bought an Wowgo 3X because of your recomendation, and have loved it from day 1.

[@parioceanchicago]

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

[@refdogg123]

Thanks for the shout out man! Always love your videos! Love the Trist trucks! I wish they weren’t sold out I would get them for my other boards!

[@diegorodriguez-lk8of]

Just bought mine yesterday used the code thanks bro I’ll keep y’all updated on it.

[@ankaerainiwaer7954]

I was planning to get Ranger x2, But now after you review on wave I think it's definitely worth it to wait for exway Atlas because of exway innovations. Thanks man.

[@gregholland11]

Wow looks like Exway really nailed it with this one. Thanks for the sick review!

[@petergarcia8225]

You got me sold on the lighting!!

[@anthonysiu6010]

Awesome review as always

[@wtg242424]

NIIICE video man, I can see the board bringing a lot of people into ESK8 which is a win for everybody.

[@LizzKillian]

Great video! I can’t wait!

[@paralyzeddd]

Hey, thanks! Your reviews are no doubt next level and I love the detail that goes in to your editing. This one might just be my entry to electric. Thought about a larger one but I think my Tan Tien will have to do for bombing hills ;) Peace!

[@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?

[@spacebaged]

Ok I’m definitely getting this board... As soon as I can afford it. Great review btw! 👍

[@david710106]

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.

[@patricktrinh9389]

I just bought it with cloudwheels because of your great recommodation. I am abt. 14 and really looking forward to this board. Of course with protective gear from TSG. Keep up the great work I am a big fan of you. 😁

[@dragonix8250]

OMG that is mee 😂

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

Cool thanks for the updates. Stay safe.

[@jeremyjung3200]

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

[@esk8jaimes]

Yes!

[@gregorypatzelt6964]

Wow the swappable battery system on this is exactly what I've been wanting

[@esk8jaimes]

You seen the one on Revel Drive's kit? Uses 4-6ah swappable batteries too and uses direct-drive motors.

[@davidthomas961]

I really hope you get paid by Exway for this detailed well documented review

[@fury230]

In America it's so hard to ride Non-all terrain boards because of the terrible roads. But a board like this would be so awesome to have in a nicer country. You have some beautiful pavement there Daniel!

[@anderfpv5670]

Literally just destroyed my board on American roads

[@frizsld6793]

I think I am going to get this instead of the flex riot. I love the idea of traveling with this and the battery interchangeable both sold me!

[@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!

[@SE_Tanks]

Judas Blewit same here meepo mini is such a beast

[@judasblewit]

@@SE_Tanks seriously so fun and the price is great to. I just looked up the wave and it's gonna be alot more.

[@Josette321]

Yes this is review, love this board

[@jorgealarconYT]

It looks awesome!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@JD-co4hx]

Good call out on the available standing width being the same as a longboard while being physically shorter.

[@Brunoplante2011]

nice video !! Thanks again mr Kwan !! the traveling option would be the only good reason to get this board in my opinion, be ready for the 2-3 months waiting for the shipping , Exway has been really really bad with shipping recently.

[@Twothenines]

Love your videos man! Looking into getting an exway, it's going to be this one or maybe the Flex. Unsure at this point, but I'm sure I'll love whatever one I choose.

[@pacels2403]

Float like a butterfly , sting like a wave is something I would alwayse say pretending that that it made sense. I disagree with a short boards being a less smooth ride on rough Terrain. What I always do with my regular skate is lift the front wheels and do Microhops and micro lifts over bumps and cracks. to conquer to terrain like that Cobblestone Road you better believe that I'll be hopping so fast that I'm basically levitating;) a over unexpected 1 ft wide potholes I've survived with this technique, shorter boards with tails make this much easier to accomplish. With longer boards that have no tell you can still just do the hop without the hip. Thank you so much for such an amazing badass detailed review! Steady As She Goes.

[@andresegasmendieta6263]

Bro I really like your videos 👏👏👏

[@RageStudios]

The wave is amazing

[@grrockstar420]

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to these products sir! Can I ask if you've had an opinion on the shark wheels electric skateboard? I'm sure u haven't got to test it but any early feelings towards its specs?

[@blupditz9826]

Hey Daniel, just bought a new flex from exway and used your discount code combined with Ronnie's for a total $40usd off, thanks mate. Your videos are great, informative and fun.

Daniel mate, your videos are so so good. I'm actually envious of the boards and the video editing. You ever come to the UK we are going for a ride 😎 The wave literally held no interest for me until I watched this tbh.

I'm in Shanghai and I want one now. Subscribed.

[@felixfisch4747]

love to see a comparison to the miles phantom

[@kimmyliu6695]

Amazing board! Can you also make a video to test the cloud wheels over little puddles since some of my friends told me that the cloud wheels may be more unstable than the original wheels on wet road. Thank you!

[@hugolbr2498]

I'd love to have that, but I already have my Onewheel XR. Not the tiniest of boards to carry around, and much more expensive, but it's sooo comfortable.

[@drnkds]

[@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

1:21 Thank you so much for this video, 6ah battery specs confirmed! (I messaged them on facebook and sent emails but got no response after two days; these specific specs aren't listed anywhere on their website...)

[@BigKidsOfficial]

Love the jab on Evolve 😉. Great video Daniel!

[@kir13y8]

Finally a review of this board :). Totally agree with you, this is the best shortboard no question. idk why everyone else is still trying to use hubs on their shortboards...

[@scoot5642]

cuz $370 for meepo mini is within budget of many people

[@esk8jaimes]

Some of us are hub purists, not too fond of belts snapping and love the free-rolling ability that hub motors give. Road vibration does suck but it depends where you ride and how much flex your deck has.

[@dexterjohnsipin3431]

Great board! Wish i could make also a review in this board. By the way, does the riot motor can be reverse in wave?

[@laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

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

[@IgorNaNoruega]

Yo Daniel, can you compare the ridability of the wave with lou board? Also size etc? Cheerios!

[@jonathanattal5419]

finally they work on a swappable battery

[@foresteyes3398]

Hello Daniel, did you enjoy Com Truise music? Great review as always, can't wait to see the atlas

[@csbiscuit7225]

Seems like more and more KZbin reviewers are getting this board hopefully that means it will be out soon! Great video review

[@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.

[@syazni38]

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

[@iamalavalamp]

Tell us about the cool carrying straps pls

[@tsimshian-phil]

i love yer reviews. i want to try hub motors but am unsure as i am larger, @240lbs, but i like the ease of maintenance idea for bub. any suggestions?

[@St3veWright]

Excellent review :) does the wave have the cruise control mode that the Exway X1 Pro has ?

[@DanielKwan]

Yes

[@bascopeach]

What about the Backfire Mini as an Competitor? I ride this Board for half a year and I love it! There are some drawbacks (no protection on the back and the weak brakes in eco) but all in all this is a Great Board. Did you ride it?

[@macflyguy5166]

Meepo V2p, for smooth roads only. But FAST AND maneuverable

dang nice sling. where did you buy that from i want one!

[@JD-co4hx]

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! 😉

[@esk8tapas22]

Awesome 👍😊

[@kungbirdmed]

Hello Daniel, awesome review! I have an Exway flex riot and I am not sure what the R and B stand for in the remote control. I assume R is rear motor and B is for brake battery level? How do they work? Why didn't Exway design in a way that both R and B have the same value....I am just curious. The wave looks sick!

[@DanielKwan]

R = remote battery indicator, B = board battery indicator

[@kevinlynch9593]

If you're in the US and looking for a short board like this, but the power and range of a long board, I'd recommend the Build Kit Board Dual Motor. The thing is a beast.

[@billytoker1]

Nice video! Did you make that holding strap or can you buy them?!

[@DanielKwan]

It’s a yoga mat sling

I always thought that belt drives were the older less efficient drive method?

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

[@snapsbytoby]

Will you review the Meepo Mini 2 by any chance?

[@MichaelRandonLam]

is the wave riot drive somehow interchangeable with X1Pro? not need to know if software is compatible with a different kv motor, but just curious to know if possible for this kind of drive train swap for a wider belt option

[@GarethDix]

The burn of the Evolve review 😂😂😂 that was a nice touch

[@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?
