Since I filmed this, they added a 2nd battery option; 1) MOLICEL M50A 25Ah 1170Wh 2) MOLICEL P42A 21Ah 982.8Wh

[@Allebaggen1]

I can't find the HOTA 6" Wheels tho, can you buy it with them?

[@fred4794]

@@Allebaggen1 Right, they are not sold with the board for the moment. Hope they will be proposed as a second choice soon too.

[@l3rlc]

They used to charge extra for the M50A or on carbon version but they are they same price here on the bamboo... What would be the real world difference between the two? They usually list the different ranges/speeds when they offer multiple battery options but they didn't do that here. I know the P42A is like the gold standard but the M50A has nearly 200Ah more, will that equate to more range? Does the P42A have a longer lifespan or better reliability because the numbers make it seem like the M50A is the way to go. You did say that the P42A has a higher discharge rate, does that mean faster acceleration or top speed? Which would you choose? I know a number of people have had issues with the carbon version's trucks snapping. They say that they have made some changes but it's kind of disconcerting... Do you think they have fixed it? This looks pretty nice but for that price I would have liked to at least see a gear drive option especially since nearly every other company is starting to offer one. Have you used or heard of the omni gear drive system? It looks pretty freaking sweet and incredibly versatile and it seems to solve one of my greatest reservations about most gear drive systems that really limit your wheel options. I bet using the omni gear drive on this board would be awesome! Thanks for the videos man, I am super jealous of all the cool places you get to ride and cool new boards you get to test and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@eduardg5619]

Scott, have the motors the same mounting high as the zeus pro? Just asking regarding clearance. Thanx

Yep, same as Zeus Pro thankfully

⚡👏🏼👏🏼⚡ *Nice to see a Bamboo version of Zeus Pro finally!* That edit with the cyclist behind 😂 Genius! Nice to see they made some updates other than just the deck 🤙🏼and not too flexy, just enough 👌🏼 I'm really likin the enclosure, maximisin the bigger deck. Does look rather plain though 👀 I'd love to see it with street wheels, maybe some 105s but there won't be clearance for the enclosure with small street wheels? I agree, on the bamboo deck the anodised parts don't quite look right, looks better on a blacked out deck. I look forward to seein more 🤙🏼

[@markwitehira2702]

Dam Scott, thanks for another great review. I am struggling to decide on what board to invest in and was almost sold on the Exway Atlas Pro but prefer Bamboo decks. Now you’ve thrown this into the mix! Currently have Evolve GTR AT Bamboo and ready to upgrade. Be keen to know details on range and top speed of this setup. Respect your work bro🤙🏽

[@jaspervalino8732]

Jeez, just when I thought the Zeus pro maxed out its power and range, they release this board. Wow!

[@roughasrc1813]

Nice indeed

[@asianboi3140]

Holy crap that thing goes fast and the size of the battery is massive

[@jdnic1]

Ownboard and B-One boards uses almost the same parts. Like their trucks, motor, and motor mounts. What i find interesting, is that you can add brake lights for this board from the b-one board, and its a direct fit. And you plug the light on the esc with 2pin connector.

[@stephenhartley3292]

Got to be some serious range with that battery, could overlook that I would need some sort of lifting device to get it in and out of the car, what is the weight? I have not had a board with the oil slick finish, I kind of like it, would be great if they had a black option as well.

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Such a nice board mate. Love a Bamboo deck and Ownboard do it well. Curious about the range of that battery.

[@scruffy7254]

Range on the website is up to 37 miles. My zeus pro in comparison has a actual range of 45 miles (im 145 pounds)

[@peterobrien7465]

Awesome video Scott what a board . Think it be amazing in street set up . What's the length of deck l may of missed that was cooking and watching ?

[@Ro-12-21]

Deck is 40" x 10".

[@LayersandCake]

Mate, I run m50LT 21700 cells in my board in 13s8p setup. The range is insane. Imagine that board with p42a in a high torque configuration. Another awesome video, mate. I'd love to cruise Brisbane with you one day. Which board would you love to review that you haven't done so yet?

[@abdul5547]

Great review video Scott. What psi do you keep your tires at?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks !! For off road 28 on road 30

[@burieddeepbetween]

Also these tyres look to be the same as on the Eovan GTS Super, which are really hard-wearing and grippy. Good choices all around by OB.

[@MyWorldAsDylan]

⚡⚡⚡ awesome video Scott ⚡⚡⚡ Zeus Pro was an amazing board already and now a bamboo version 🔥🤙 wondering how streetwheels perform with this board (feel and ground clearance). The look is okay. I'm also not a big fan of the anodized look with the bamboo look. The wood/bamboo color speaks for itself I think and it should be just that. More real longboard feel 🤌🤙

[@ryanschulz9893]

[@aleszverca]

Hey Scott, I can’t find deck size(especially the stance part of it) info on their site, did you do any measuring? I have the Carbon Zeus and it always feels just slightly to short/narrow for my long/big legs/feet. Is the bamboo deck longer/wider?

[@actualairsoftreviews3036]

I have a Zeus pro I really like, close to 200 miles. But my next board will have suspension. I wish they could make a suspension board next, maybe bamboo suspension, ultimate comfort. I am old, my knees hurt, thats why I got the Zeus pro, for the best wheels. I have combined almost 500 miles on several boards, since summer 2022.

[@davidheath2427]

I'm 58 and know what you mean . I got the Tynee Explorer as my second board and it's so comfortable to ride its ridiculous. And not too expensive. Mind you if you are over 95 kg you may get a bit of bounce from it on bad bumps . But im 105 kg and have adjusted my style to suit . A great board to ride .

[@notdxvis]

Carbon on Bamboo Zues Pro?

[@fred4794]

On their website, they give a 60 km range, isn't it an error ? Didn't they mean 60 miles instead ? It would seem more coherent : bigger battery = bigger range.

[@burieddeepbetween]

This is the Hadean killer I've been waiting for. Evolve? You here? Bigger battery guys. Better cells. Get on it! Last time I rode with a Hadean owning friend it was crawling under 5km/h at the 38km mark. Not good enough. Side note: it's a shame manufacturers keep introducing cruise control modes on the remote. Super dangerous. Big no no imo. Who in their right mind would take their hand off the remote in transit to begin with?

[@slargo83]

Agreed. I only ever use cruise control at very low speeds. Like 10mph or less and only briefly to take a drink or adjust something etc

[@syluxv2398]

sheesh. this will really give Lacroix's barrel a run for its money

[@ronnie5966]

If you compare the 155 and 175 mm tires. What is the pros and cons?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

175 smoother higher top speed / less off line torque 155 more off line torque / little less top speed

[@lordirek1]

Well now I have a choice. Was between explorer and hurricane, but I think the hurricane is off the table, meepo has too many customer service issues for me I think. So now it's explorer vs Zeus pro bamboo. What's your take on a direct comparison? Oh, loved the added effects in this one, especially the last scene. Really well done, keep em coming!

[@certifiedalchemist]

Personally I would go with the Explorer. Tynee has pretty good customer support. I like the idea of a 5P battery, but not sure I need it. The Explorer gives me about 3 hours of riding around (~40km). Don't think the 4 kg extra weight on the ownboard is worth the extra capacity. The Tynee Explorer is also considerably cheaper, just make sure that you get the P42A version and maybe upgrade to riptide pivot cups (Indy) and bushings. If you can wait a little, I would see if Acedeck releases a new bamboo board this spring. If that's the case that will probably be the board to get.

[@davidheath2427]

@@certifiedalchemist what you said . Acedeck are missing a flex deck so I'm waiting to see what they bring out in a few weeks . 8weeks I think . I have the Explorer and love it . But maybe a bit to much flex for my 105 kg frame .

Nice review but no real world range test ? would like to know

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

[@cipherenzo7401]

Can you put DKP’s on this ?, the battery range seems encouraging (provided it holds up) & I’d like a smaller turning radius & better carving ability…

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

100% you could put DKP !!

[@Ro-12-21]

Honestly it's very close to DKP turning as it is. It's better than I was expecting. I loosened up the trucks and am putting in softener bushings (I'm only 150lbs) to make it even more surfy but it is really really good already.

[@tannerflowers1994]

ive had my eye on the mboards endurance. crazy range

[@redogman67]

All they need to do is lose the rainbow effect (completely imo) and add some foam grip tape like the OG carbon. I'd really like to get one but gotta save up a bit yet, my original carbon Zeus hit a massive pothole while riding and snapped the deck. I may be reading between the lines (incorrectly) but your lack of talk on comfort makes me think they maybe swapped battery size for deck quality/comfort. I don't have a ton of experience but I know comfort is a way underrated topic when you ride them a lot. Thanks for vid!

[@utahpatriot4807]

I actually like the anodized parts for something different. Too many black boards already

[@CrossroadWater]

Hey Scott, new subscriber here, have been watching your videos and have to say love.your content! A quick question if you have a second, is it me or is that one of the quieter belt motor skateboards. As you were riding I noticed very little motor whining sound versus some of the boards in your other videos. Is it really that quiet? If you had to say the quietest belt-fed electric skateboard, what would it be. Thank you so much again : ))

[@alessandrosalomao8682]

Hard to decide between Meepo Hurricane bamboo and Zeus pro bamboo

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Both are great boards My 2 cents is, both are good, the Meepo has some flex the Ownboard doesn’t, but the battery on the oWnboard is huge for that reason I’d personally pick the Ownboard

[@daviddahlbergeijerstam9040]

Just going to add this: Next thing that Ownboard need to do is designing their own remote with bigger screen. I think they should move away from generic hobbywing remote. Board is great looking but remote just makes it kind of dated. Hope they makes their own remote.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Agree !! I think their quality and product line up warrants a custom remote ! And looking at their Zeus and Zeus Bamboo I have all the confidence they could do it very well !!

[@mboles32]

I agree 100%. The screen really bums me out sometimes. I am 45 years old and my eyes have gone to sh*t over the years. I wear pretty strong glasses and don't own prescription sunglasses.

[@ownboardskateboard7341]

Another amazing review Scott!! We hope you felt the difference in the deck. We really spent a lot of time perfecting the deck. We took cues from the LDP community and applied it to this deck. It has the perfect amount of flex by providing a stiff 7ply maple base with two plys of bamboo. The two layers of fiberglass holds it all together for a consistent feel over time and protects it from the elements. If you noticed you made it up to 55 without much fuss even with the crosswind. We improved the trucks for even more stability and carve-ability. The production cost of this board exceed that of the Zeus Pro. Each time we try to one up the one before. One thing we would like to point out is that the 7” tires/tyres accelerate slower than the 6” tires/tyres. The BZP is one heck of deal alone and with the free Shred lights its a no brainer! We hope you enjoyed the board as much as we enjoyed making it!
