Sounds like the article was written by AI

[@loganrunaways]

literally what i came to comment. this is definitely a GPT article

[@Cardfold11]

After seeing your comment it makes a lot of sense. But what doesn’t make sense are the few grammatical /spelling errors. And I don’t see a reason to add those in to make it seem more “human” either… it just makes it seem unprofessional

[@Maximusls2400]

Probably

[@Maximusls2400]

@@Cardfold11seems intentional

[@adamsimonow]

💯

[@projectmayhem2330]

These lists are always hilarious. What’s frustrating is that those who know boards, never make these lists. Daniel, would be great if someone with your Esk8 knowledge posted a list

[@chargencarve]

Definitely feels like an AI wrote this article.

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

That's disgusting

[@knoopx]

the article would probably be more accurate if it was written by chatgpt xD

[@mhas9110]

You should make your recommendation list😅

[@levi5468]

Yeah we'd love that!

[@BWT599]

I'm just impressed Forbes didn't make the entire list all about Evolve boards.

[@DrewElia]

I dont know what you're talking about DK, carbon fiber boards are the BEST AT SHOCK ABSORPTION... like do you even ride these boards?! 😆😆 its not a totally horrible list, i would have also changed some things around as well but they are just sad people sitting in an office writing about something they don't even use.

[@jilomemendoza1313]

this simply tells us that forbes doesn't know what they are writing about 😅

[@l3rlc]

Finally! I have been anxiously waiting for Forbes to release their expertly selected picks, everyone knows they are the most trusted name in eskate. I would never buy a board unless it was Forbes Vetted. Take their 30 under 30 list for example. Every single person they have "chosen" has gone on to do great things and be super successful and trustworthy. I'm glad that they pointed out the boards that have brake regen. It is such a wonderful feature to just be able to hit the brakes and have it charge your battery to full. It almost feels like it's breaking the laws of physics but as Forbes says, as long as you tap the brakes before your board completely runs out of battery and shuts down you are safe and a now back at full battery and ready to shredy. The roads are pretty bumpy where I live, so I'm glad that Forbes highlighted that carbon fiber decks offer the best flex and shock absorption

[@mdd83646]

Daniel… honestly… why don’t you write summaries for all boards you’ve reviewed? This would be my go to. You could also give actual comparable specs (slicing through the marketing jumble). I love your channel and your honest reviews!

[@leadergo]

Forbes can’t do anything right.

[@patrickvanwieren4817]

Imagine using a founder of DGK, a regular skateboard company, as a reliable source for a product that is an electric longboard, fundamentally different than a skateboard at its most basic level. I find it hilarious that they didn't reach out to e-skate groups or creators to hear more about what to look for in an e-skate, but rather turned to skate company owners and other non- e-skate brand owners for criteria. You can't make this stuff up 😂.

[@arrow1414]

Does anyone at Forbes even know how to stand on a manual skateboard never mind ride an electric one?

[@Lychegsye-nc6td]

it's the same for audio devices too. Like 0 knowledge mfs just keep puttin on these weird ass articles like "Top xxx in 20xx" 😂😂

[@davidmcgowen9527]

You are 100% correct they don’t really know what they’re talking about. Good review keep up the good work.

[@slaxxx]

I’m always in awe, when I read an article from a serious publisher, when the article happens to be something I’m knowledgeable on, how bad the info is, Similar to this article. It makes me very suspicious when I’m reading about other subjects in not familiar with.

[@user-sn9od2cy4v]

The text part of the forbes list is indeed questionable. But the boards itself are descent. Most website reviews are made of awful low quality amazon boards from 2018-2019.

[@sirsalmon9878]

This feels like an AI written article lol. It's all surface-level information pulled directly from manufacturer sites with no subjective interpretation. I see "top 10" articles like this in my Google feed all the time and I usually just ignore them because they usually all look the same-- algorithm fodder to generate ad revenue.

[@onespeed3134]

It probably is lmao

[@pandrews01]

Great Video!!! I'm glad you were able to weigh-in as I'm certain many would take a Forbes review as gospel. Your board reviews, your testing and your opinions are valuable. I do enjoy your videos.

[@eBoard3R]

⚡🤙🏼 *It's interestin that there's an article in Forbes at all lol* 🤙🏼⚡

[@rafaelvega59]

Tynee Stinger!!

[@jksmancave4878]

Meepo Flow is the best skateboard for "carving".... The joke of the year. lol (No offense to Meepo though. Flow is the one that I really want to try soon as well. It gets pretty positive feedback. )

[@Craftman27]

I wan't a Tynee Stinger🙈

[@josephclapp1157]

I almost said chat gpt probably wrote this list, but i don’t think even chat gpt could miss the mark that badly!

[@michaelsherman931]

What's crazy is I'm in the market for a new board, and I saw that Forbes list....which left me disappointed lol, and I thought to myself, I better cut through the nonsense and see what Dkwan posted about lately

[@alessandroschandelmeyer9913]

Hi Daniel Greetings from Germany I have really big problems finding an electric board that suits me and that I know, that it is going to hold up. Can you help me finding a board. I would be more than happy My plan is riding it to work. There is only good smooth roads. The commute would be 5 km 5 days a week. I thought about the backfire zealot S or the meepo V5 But I am not sure about belt or hub system. I also have the problem that I can't test drive one here because there are no shops that sell those. Thanks for you help

[@RedMcc]

Terrible list. Onsra is infinitely better than Meepo, Backfire, Exeway. An E-boarder didnt not write this list up

[@janssensbaskoro]

Long range? Just did a 100km ride on my ownboard zeus pro bamboo. Feet were completely numb cause of the 100mm boa's... 😂

[@CondescendingOaf]

Who *_IS_* Jarvis? 🤨 Is Jarvis an *_"expert?"_* 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️ Enquiring minds want to know. 😂

[@vincenzovieri3743]

Daniel can u or anyone recommend an electric board that’s on the quality of boosted or better? I had a boosted board and loved it but I just found out they went bankrupt.

[@GarethDix]

Forbes is definitely the place I would go for info on skateboards. Now I have to go to go ask my grandmother for advice on my KZbin strategy

[@andreaisonline]

I don't think anyone is surprised by the sloppiness of mainstream media journalism.

[@yolinkin]

i could of done a better job than Forbes ... havent written an article in about 2.5 years but still ... that made me almost puke

[@xDMG15x]

So they didn’t ride any of the boards and their expertise was gained by spending 5 minutes reading each product page.

[@andrewcirco4186]

Where is the exway wave on that list and the backfire zealot? And why is the wowgo 3e the most versatile?

[@davidheath2427]

Don't actually think there is much time placed on research of a lot of these list . Sad part is that someone new may get bad leads .

[@bobsaxton2579]

Would love to know which mini board you would’ve picked!

[@Prism3241]

the exway wave, he is obsessed with that board lol

[@SRNAR8]

exway is shit@@Prism3241

[@sdb3039]

My top : Lacroix Lonestar Lacroix Nazare Lacroix Barrel Lacroix Jaws

[@adnankazi2215]

So my question is which board to buy for on and off road and over all best skateboard ?

[@benbucklerboards]

Hey Daniel, thanks for getting your thoughts out there. Entertaining :) As a retailer in Sydney, Australia, the biggest part of our advice to customers includes our experience with supporting these boards. Getting a replacement part from Meepo can take weeks, while we can support Evolve boards much quicker here.

[@KieranEboard]

❤ thank you, but it more people buy from meepo we will deliver faster in your area.

[@alibabarouge]

isn’t the hadean like MUCH more range than the Ex4wd?

[@joeygustavo1468]

Can you do a review on the Acedeck Stella Mini??????

[@jordon2301]

What board would he pick instead for mini ??

[@KyrstensCloset]

These sorts of articles are mostly written by AI now, no?

"Said Jarvis"...😂 Who is Jarvis??? Omg 😅 🎉

[@jadenanjara]

That « who’s Jarvis » ended me XD

[@imagines9688]

coulda been worse.. they could of recommended boosted

[@ducksound8023]

They need to use better AI to write their crappy articles

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Lost all credibility with listing a boosted board.

[@Someoneelse415]

I think Forbes used AI to write their article.

[@pawJuno]

11:15 how do you not know who THE Jarvis is??? hahah

[@akalia_07]

Who the hell was high enough to write this article? 🤣

[@AlexGFPV]

Pretty sure some of these articles are AI generated lol

[@KieranEboard]

None of these guys do esk8. They should have done better by hiring you or someone less expert at least to do a quick article review. Anyway I’m glad that they covered esk8 and mentioned this commute alternatives. ❤

[@DennisSattler]

I wouldn't doubt that exway paid them to come up with the article. Of course, as I've said too many times before, there is more profit involved with stupid people. However this was one of your most entertaining videos. Thanks Daniel. 😊

[@MichaelRandonLam]

ai can write better article

[@diemman70]

I never liked Forbes

[@VDMP_Co]

Hi, Thanks for this video. I'm a beginner in skateboarding and having a top 5 or a ranking to help me choose my board would be great. I will do 15 km per day with big climbs and descents on roads that are not always very clean (holes, sidewalk crossings, tram rails). I spotted the following models : Wowgo 3E, Meepo VOYAGER, Exway FLEX SE, Exway FLEX PRO, Backfire Zealot S2 ans Backfire Zealot X or G3. Can you give me your ranking on these models and those that best suit a beginner and my travel constraints? Thx in advance for your help. A french fan 🤙

[@samuelschanhals5049]

I'm getting my second electric board finally and I'm trying to reedgucate myself since the last time I looked into them was when I got my g3 in 2020. I have 2500 and I was hoping to get some opinions of hpw that money would be best spent?? Street wheels 100% tho

[@c_kennmusic5737]

Daniel, what board should I buy? I'm 58, ride a 9.5 inch cruiser deck now and want to explore the e option so I can get some braking and live to see 60 bro.

[@minozemstan]

Seems like Forbes has too many interns nowadays...

[@YTwoKay]

Freelancers. Likely straight from college and busting out 10 articles a week on product categories they started using 3 months ago.

[@TheMrKonov]

I think AI wrote this

[@LFwitch_hunter]

hey daniel have you had a chance to do another hill climb shootout with all the AT boards on the market yet? i remember a few months a go you mentioned in the comments wanting to do an update video given just how many AT boards are on the market now that youve reviewed to see if anyone has made changes to make them better

[@Microes57]

Really mid article but at least it gives some visibility to this type of e-transportation🤔 what do you think?

[@Adotfilmproductionp]

I just bought a wowgo 3E it’s crazyyy for 449$ now on there website. Unfortunately it took 19 days to be at my dooor after I ordered but it is highly efficient and fast. A little scary riding so slow next to fast cars but if I would never buy a mini skateboard ever …. They are too short to go fast

There’s no way Stevie Williams is an expert on electric skateboards.

The G2 has regenerative breaking. Its a solid option with cloud wheels.
