Flux Motion Review - Europe's Answer To The Urban Carver?

[@electricboardsolutions4051]

Nice and fair review! :) All mentioned improvements are done for the second batch :) More info on www.fluxmotion.eu

[@LeeWright]

Sorry about the VO audio change half way through guys, it’s been a hectic time recently and this video was edited and VO in 3 different places because of the day job!

[@TheNightmaremask]

No worries, mate! I barely noticed it

[@ErnestRamos]

Doesn't matter, it was still a very good review. Very thorough mate! I hope you get more boards to review. It's always good to hear what a real builder has to say about retail boards.

[@LeeWright]

@@ErnestRamos thanks man, I have another one coming actually from a Chinese company 👀

[@ErnestRamos]

@@LeeWright Awesome! Can't wait for those to come out. I just want to add, that your videos have been an influence to how I do my reviews in my own channel too. Love your thoroughness. Been trying to learn more on the technical side of this since I feel not a lot of reviewers take the time to understand the interactions between the batteries, electronics and motors. Your videos have been a massive help here.

[@ASeSkater]

Totally killed this review Lee! Can't wait to try one. B roll killer I'll call you from now on

[@LeeWright]

Thanks Ammar! gonna check your video, had the noti but I’ve been so bloody busy

[@TheNightmaremask]

"Great British beef" best quote ever 🤣 Great video bro! This is a very detailed, in-depth review. I think you hit all the nails on the head in this video! I am glad that there is more competition in the market, that is mega important! I'm glad the company has been super chill with you so far. Gets my hopes up for their future customer service. All in all, amazing review! I think this board will be a great UK option to compete with Kaly and La Croix! Smart moves on their part 💯 Excited to see how they will improve on the things you've addressed here! Oh! And I'm pumped for the range test video! 😉

[@LeeWright]

Dallin Thorpe thanks bro! Haha great British beef 😇😅 a lot of people have already commented on that 😝

[@TheNightmaremask]

@@LeeWright You got me to chuckle out loud to it 😂

[@lhp-studiochannel2692]

Great review, your best yet Lee. Thanks for super content yet again. Big thumbs up!

[@LeeWright]

Dubmusiclover you are welcome sir! Glad you enjoyed it

[@swisstony607]

Just won the auction for one in good condition from ebay. Great vid, answered a lot of questions I had. Thx

[@harvester71]

Great review Lee, strangely I’m getting my board tomorrow so your review came at a good time, it’s a batch 2, also I have to say the communication with them has been amazing, he even noted all your points in the video and fixed the issues before dispatching, so far definitely great customer service! I’ll let you know how I get on with it! Thanks for a top review! :-)

[@LeeWright]

Ah awesome. Yeah Frederic has taken the very minor points on board and had already addressed some of them before I even mention it. It all looks good for the future of Flux. Hope you enjoy your new board bro!

[@harvester71]

Lee Wright yeah I’m sure as you say Frederic gets straight back too you if you email him too, definitely quality level of service! Out for ride with Brum crew tomorrow so I’ll let you know how I get on! Just watching your stormcore review too as mines got that it, that looks well put together as well! Nice review on that as well! 👍

[@brown5tick]

Some well-deserved praise for a solid offering by a pillar of our community ...and some well-deserved stabs at Evolve for good measure. Well rounded, just like the host 😉 Nice one, Lee.

[@LeeWright]

brown5tick loooool 110kg of great beef rounded 🤣thanks dude!

[@BenDavies1991]

Great review Lee, can’t wait to try one. One of our locals should be getting his tomorrow 😬

[@LeeWright]

Ben Davies thanks Ben! Shame you didn’t get one - it’s a lovely board to ride

[@harvester71]

Lee Wright he can try mine Lee, then probably get one! :-)

[@ASeSkater]

@@harvester71 Don't let me try yours as I can't promise I will bring it back! :p

[@harvester71]

AS eSkater man you guys all gonna want one I think!! It does look like a beast! Now I’m excited! Ben was right I can’t sleep now! Lol

[@ASeSkater]

@@harvester71 Twas like the night before Christmas as Harvey awaited his board.. He could not sleep nor could he rest as he prepared to never again be bored.

[@rusinsr]

Review was a joy to watch! I really do hope they sort out the few issues you mentioned, because otherwise this seems like a board for DIYers, but without the parts DIYers would prefer, like 30Qs, heat-sinks, etc. On the other hand, quite tempted to pick one up as a spare board for those days when all the DIY ones have fallen apart XD

[@LeeWright]

Looool... all of the little issues have been fixed for the current batch and onwards. It is a great board. At 10P you wouldnt miss those 30Q trust me ✌

[@surferofdirt9422]

Excellent review dude! Looks like an awesome prebuilt for people on your side of the pond!

[@LeeWright]

Surfer Of Dirt Cheers Al! I think it is a good option for Europeans

[@rafaelinmissouri6235]

Dude. Also great for people on my side of the pond. Shipping from them is incredible. The deck and enclosure got to my door in 3 days. Same thing when I got the Haero with trucks wheels and mounts...

[@MarkHybridZ]

Great review bro! Think it’s good that you say how you feel as it benefits anyone who’s looking to purchase one in the future. Whole review was structured really well. Well done mate.

[@LeeWright]

Mark HybridZ thanks Mark! I think it’s a very balanced review and totally honest from my point - I standby everything I say about it

[@movation]

Solid review Lee I am going to get one of next decks for my next diy build.

[@LeeWright]

Movation nice one mate!

[@skraggle]

Killer review, Lee. Great breakdown of the board's many strengths and few weaknesses, and an enjoyable watch as always with your vids.

[@LeeWright]

Bill Gordon Thanks Bill! It was a fun one to put together. I hope I get more time available next time I get a review board so I can perfect the review

[@harryforks6708]

Great review mate! And congrats on the haircut :D

[@LeeWright]

Harry Forks loooool thanks mate!

[@scottharvey9764]

Grate British beef. O god i'm in stiches on the floor. Good honest review

[@LeeWright]

Scott Harvey haha! You knows it Scott! Glad you liked it

[@rathoquarter]

Really nice review and exciting alternative to the Lacroix boards! Cheers

[@esk8monster848]

Great film lee, love the review you coved everything in your down to earth no bullshit tell it as it is way , I want more company’s to send you there boards for that type of review.

[@LeeWright]

Esk8 Monster lets hope so bro, I would like to review more boards. I have a Meepo NLS Belt on the way

[@davidsaunders2893]

Great review! So many great options these days

[@paulshrider6048]

Paul from Michigan how much is the fluxmotion

[@manski209]

WoW, very nice machine. Great review Lee.

[@LeeWright]

Thanks Manny!

[@double_0_6ix26]

Solid review bro, covered all aspects. Seems like a solid board, shame the clearance is a tad on the low side. whether slotting in some risers would make a difference, but that could also affect the ride itself I guess. For the price tho, its something that can be overlooked and def worth a shout considering the amount of cells you get packed into the board, not to mention the nice touch of different including the different shocks for the rider to customize. Thumbs up on this vid bro.

[@LeeWright]

Thanks bro! It is a tad on the low side but that's what you get when you put so many cells underneath! Like you say a little riser each side could go a long way to sorting that out. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eskateforlife86]

Don't forget the red version of the Rockstar 2 :) nice review mate awesome video once again ;)

[@LeeWright]

Eskate For Life yes the red ones! Forgot about those and forgot to mention five star compatibility too 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@adventureswithsteve2981]

Nice board, makes me want to finish my MBS Comp96 Birds build , I got the Oil Slick Metal Matrix 2 trucks , wow those are a piece of art , I will defo change out the front orange shock block for yellow, I got some nice motor mounts from someone in the states and wheel pulleys from someone in Australia, now I just need a good recommendation for cheap reliable motors

[@LeeWright]

Motors are hard right now, I dont reccomend any of the options available

[@ryanberardelli2363]

Great review Lee, would be awesome to have one of these boards.

[@LeeWright]

Grab one whilst it's on offer!

[@urbanboard7589]

Me encanta es parecido a LaCroix board y mucho más económico! Es brutal muy bonito y gran alcance.

[@willperkins3950]

Top quality review! Looks like a great board too!

[@LeeWright]

will perkins thanks bro!

[@davidlinscheid2321]

Great board at a decent price, despite the QC Problems. A top notch review, Lee. 110 kilos of great British beef...I love that line:)

[@LeeWright]

Hahahaha thanks David! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TimWoodVlog]

Damn dude! Thats some pretty good price to performance right there. I think a lot of people are gonna love the step up in range for sure 👍

[@LeeWright]

100% bro. Even the visual battery difference in my diagram is enough to show the leap from something like an evolve.

[@jondavey007]

great review! nice T-shirt :)

[@jeffreyh1025]

Looks like a solid investment. I think I built my board after all said and done for right around $2,000, so this would be fairly comparable, minus the under board battery. My battery set up allows a top speed with my motors of 35MPH, and I’ve never come close, almost wish I went for another p group or so to extend the 24 mile range. Either way great review!

[@electricdeckhead3083]

nice board, but customs where it's at. I was going to go for MBS trucks but the symbolism on their gear is a bit out there for me, that and Jens of E TOXX recommended Trampas over the MBS ones. Due to the MBS tending to break baseplates a lot.

[@paulshrider6048]

Paul from Michigan I really like that board out of my ballpark thank.

[@TheEVside]

Great video board looks a monster

[@LeeWright]

Yeah it is a monster tbh, I think its excellent value too

[@Master0wl]

Thanks for the review ! now I want this board even more! Do you know if I could install bindings (like MBS F5)? I would like to be able to jump short sidewalks without freaking out about being stopped by a curb that is too high :D

[@LeeWright]

You probably could, but you would have to take the board off the enclosure and fit them

[@lukethomas1323]

Wow this board is incredible.... Wish I could afford something like this!

[@LeeWright]

Anything Electric yeah it’s top shelf stuff alright, for middle shelf money

[@rafaelinmissouri6235]

Dudes. my Flux build is so close now... Almos there

[@koenwilliams8819]

Great vid Lee. I haven’t heard or seen a lot about flux, but this seems like a pretty good board for a good value. Packaging is a bit disappointing though.

[@LeeWright]

Koen Williams yeah it is a great board, Flux have stated they have improved the packaging significantly since my review board was shipped

[@koenwilliams8819]

Lee Wright that’s good, I wish them good luck with their boards

[@funnyent]

Great review!

[@LeeWright]

Thanks bro

[@Ro-12-21]

I love the irony built into the name of this board... Flux Motion... aka energy losses due to inadequate polarity angles (as in poorly designed BLDC motors)...

[@rafaelinmissouri6235]

Super good dude. And kudos to Flux for killing it. Did you happen to open the enclosure and check for water ingress after all that riding on wet ground?

[@LeeWright]

I didnt bro, I was going to do a what's inside on it, lack of time on my part really

[@swingwing197]

Yes man! Another quality vid mate 🙌 Lacroix killer? Quite possibly at this price 🤔

[@LeeWright]

I nearly put Lacrox killer in the title... decided not to! Great price

[@kalebhuffman4221]

Hi, lee I’m a huge fan of what you do! You inspired me to build my own. I built it and then the first day I fell and fractured my wrist lol. I fixed the board “so I thought” and then when I connect the controller it goes full speed. I tried reprogramming it in Vesc Tool, but it didn’t work. I was wondering what your thoughts are on it?

[@LeeWright]

Kaleb Huffman firstly I would have a look on the VESC tool. Check the input wizard and go through. It’s probably the controller that’s damaged from the fall? Either way we’ll done on building your own board! Let me know how you get on with the input wizard

[@gearsdan]

Hey Lee! esk8er here from America. any noticeable issues with the board to this day? how does it compare to the lacroix?

[@LeeWright]

I only had it as a test board for a month mate, I had to send it back

[@simonchurchley8088]

Sorry for my late comment but I had a bit of an accident involving mango chutney and a mouse mat. Great review looks a great board for the money. Good next step up for Evolve riders that want something that can handle more than just pavement.

[@LeeWright]

Simon Churchley yeah I agree and that’s one of the reasons it’s compared in this review. That and the cells being the same! hope the mouse mat is ok!

[@simonchurchley8088]

@@LeeWright No mouse mats were harmed in the watching of your video don't worry!

[@chrixx9914]

How much Flex Does the Deck have and is there Concave? Nice Review!!

[@TheVapingESkater]

Great vid bro

[@LeeWright]

Thanks mate!

[@coreyb4679]

Thanks for reviewing this board. Was considering the Lonestar but now maybe not. Question, how are the brakes? Do they have different modes?

[@alexshi9320]

They should allow us to pick a backward grip tape application for goofy footers

[@Daneisdumb]

Great start in your review career ;) I would love more info tho; Which firmware is the focbox running? How about aftermarket support on it? Which settings are the focbox running? And in which app? Have they replaced wires/solders on the focbox? We all know that history... 😭 Which motors are they using? Specs and thoughts on the choice? Why 35E, and not 30Q, Vtc6 or make room for 2070/2170 cells? (length is an issue, not width). Are the 80 amps enough? Disclaimer; I have bought the deck, trucks and battery enclosure for my DIY-build. Quality is on gd point.

[@LeeWright]

Joel Christensen I could have talked about the motors yes, but I’m not sure I should be talking about the VESC wiring and why they didn’t choose certain cells - not really my place to speak for a manufacturer like that. This review was aimed more for someone that isn’t into DIY

[@Daneisdumb]

@@LeeWright Fair point. Mentioning motor size and specs wouldn't be a problem though, do you think? 🤔 Also, if you're not a DIY looking for a good review, we should mention the focbox-situation, no? Important to know you might not have any support other than from Flux, and I'm unsure if they can actually support the Unity.. Anyway, I digress. You did a bang up job here,.... beefcake 😂

[@emil5126]

Insane board for the price! Was wondering tho if its possible to put 100mm-120mm street wheels on it considering the large battery pack and the flex of the Deck? wouldnt want it to bottom out and rek the battery pack...

[@torterra1777]

Should I get the AT2 or the KALY XL40? Or just say fuck it and save up hella for a XL-R or Lacroix Supersport?

[@JustinBrumCarveesk8]

What an utter bargain that board is at €2200, just buying thst deck and enclosure for under 300 is absolutely insane price... id deffo put 30Q or sanyo20700 in but bang for buck this board is insanely well priced

[@LeeWright]

Yeah it's an absolute steal at that price... the clearance was fine for me, for road riding it's no issue but yeah you could wack a riser in

[@ASeSkater]

6.18 never seen such an attractive dirty ice cream

[@GarethDix]

Who’s here after seeing the price of the Evolve Hadean and wondering what that money could buy instead?

[@KK-ol5ov]

Nice video!

[@LeeWright]

Ta bro

[@Fredline57]

Does it come with different/extra "ShockBlocks" so you can fine tune the ride? Looking forward to your range test 👍

[@LeeWright]

Yeah it comes with yellow fitted and orange in the spares bag

[@Fredline57]

Ordered! Was debating buying a used Lacroix or Kaly XL40 but feel I couldn't beat the value of the Flux. Plus it will be brand new 👍

[@LeeWright]

Fred Kolb I think you will be quite happy with your purchase :D

[@alexgarza5398]

Hey Lee! I'm looking for some guidance and seeking some help out for a build that I've been wanting to make, I'm trying to build a beefed up Esk8 board because I'm unsatisfied with the power of my Evolve GTR. I've been looking at may-techs motors and Vesc's and I would like to know what I should be looking out for specs and performance wise how to compare motors and compatibility also how to tell if a motor is compatible with a Vesc. To give you an idea what I'm looking for I'm goin for a more aggressive style of mountain board with monster torque and speed with an open belt driven drivetrain as cheap but as solid as a rock as possible I have a 3d printer at my disposal that can be of use for internal and external components if you think it would be helpful say for like securing the batteries. But anyways I like this board you are reviewing I've decided I'm going to purchase the board kit for DIY by flux motion, and build up from there. I'm very enthusiastic about this kind of lifestyle and trying to get more involved. your videos definitely are sparking more inspiration. love your videos I hope you keep working on this for as long as you can, id very much appreciate help if you can offer it. Thank you very much Mate.

[@LeeWright]

Hey bro, I love that you are going the DIY route! I actually have a couple of videos about planning your builds and what to look out for as well as how to use an esk8 calculator. Your event bet would be to join the DIY forums at esk8.news and go from there as you have quite an open ended question here.

[@alexgarza5398]

Lee Wright hey awesome lee, thank you very much.

[@dubon6372]

Belt drive is the only downside of that beauty. I might get heat for this, but belts are becoming synonym of low end boards. All high end manufacturers are moving away from it, and it is a deal breaker for me.

[@LeeWright]

I hear that Flux are working on other transmission systems 😊

[@gerylagrande]

I would like to purchase one. Do you think the performance is compareable to the lacroix nazarè ? Although it has only the "Lamborghini" 35E battery 😋

[@LeeWright]

I think it sits in between nazare and Lonestar for performance.

[@gerylagrande]

The quickest answer i've ever got👍 subsrcibed hahaha Have you had any issues with the company regarding communication. cause they seem to have only mail for customer support. A bit like Enertion they fooled me with their Raptor2. Always good to know if you can send the board back to flux when something breaks.

[@TheNightmaremask]

Ayyyyyyye! How's it going, mate?

[@LeeWright]

Dallin Thorpe ayyyyyyyy! A bit later than usual but I made it! It’s been a hectic week!

[@VietPho]

How much is this in usd

[@gnrriffs]

Its a Good looking board shame about the 35E cells But a 2 year warranty Is Awesome :) lacroix is Only 90 days seems a bit sh!t for the money when even cheap boards do 160 days - 1 year.

[@LeeWright]

Absolutely nothing wrong with the 35E when uses in 10P. In 4P like the evolve I agree. In 10P here theres enough to get plenty of power as you can see from some of my clips

[@gnrriffs]
