Meepo Hurricane ESC UPDATE | TORQUE Monster!

[@DruMarr]

Any board purchased after OCT 25 will already have the new ESC installed. Subscribe for more hurricane content 🌀😈

[@REAMtheDream]

Could you drop the link to those tires?

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Thanks for the review. Enjoy your rides, Dru!

[@KillEmEasy]

You guys really need to figure out your customer service. Ive been emailing you guys since November 4th and just yesterday i believe i had my solution fixed and thats only because you sent out the esc to everyone and i replaced it and the power/charging port and my board still is malfunctioning. My battery isnt working properly... and i knew it wasnt from the beginning and i told you guys that... and you insisted my board was just dead and I need to charge it... Excuse me??! My board turns off almost immediately after it powers on then the power button does nothing at all for around a minute... and the person i was emailing began with telling me nothing was wrong even after sending multiple videos. The board makes a popping sound when i plug it in too like theres a short. Said to replace the briquetting and then get back with them if it still doesn't work. Im never buying a board from meepo again.

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

@@KillEmEasy Thanks for letting us know. We just escalated your case, a customer support manager will be in touch shortly.

[@KillEmEasy]

@@MeepoElectricSkateboard cool. Currently still waiting on a tracking number. Been a week since I was told you are going to ship me out a battery "ASAP" and that id receive the tracking number once it has shipped.

[@KillEmEasy]

@@MeepoElectricSkateboard so excited that my battery still hasn't shipped nor have I gotten anything from this "customer support manager" thanks meepo!

[@KillEmEasy]

@@MeepoElectricSkateboard Wow. Solidifying the experience all around meepo. YOUR SERVICE SUCKS! I really do appreciate the false hope of getting some actual help.

[@namelessvermillion8188]

Meepo has been slaying other flagship boards left and right lately. Now it’s even better:)

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@sicat2345]

performance is on par with my 1.1K usd diy mountainboard using flipsky parts. Kudos to meepo for blurring the price-performance boundary between diy and production boards.

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Thanks

[@roadsodas9740]

Great video. Those motors are screaming 🚀

[@Shatter_TV]

Favorite video about this board. Waiting for mine right now.

[@jmtx.]

Thanks for the info update on the hardware. Looking forward to your review of the thing!

Bought mine Sunday with express shipping! Can’t wait!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Amazing!

The motor sound is great 🤭

[@spawnandbatman6975]

I got this lol I Would bomb hills on my long board going about 40 mph. Have plenty of falls and some really bad falls. So I’m taking it easy now and gonna be cruising. This board is sweet.

[@samuelmurillo9296]

Great video bud i cant wait to get one next Hopefully i dont have to wait till black Friday until they have another sale

[@DruMarr]

Yeah seems like they’re only doing the 2n1 right now

[@mikezockt72]

love this video :)

[@davidmagallanes6144]

Is there a better esc than the one that comes with the hurricane now?

[@EzERiders]

Great vids!

[@DruMarr]

Thanks!

[@jerryflames2937]

still no 35mhp?

[@2711tube]

Bro, Loving your video's. I bought this board from day one. Question what pulley and belt size did you use with the wheels in your video? Wanna try different wheel setups

[@DruMarr]

Thanks fam! So the wheels and pulleys I’m using are the from WOWGO, it’s the 175mm wheels pulleys and belts, the exact same setup just on the hurricane. You can also use their cloud wheels pulleys and belts as well. These wheels make it feel like a tank, meepo also has 195mm tires on the website as well :)

[@rosevillemtbdad302]

Cheers Dru - appreciate your stoke. Just pulled the trigger on my Hurricane, arriving this week. Maybe you could do a review of the 70A vs. 100A ESC, they have them on sale right now and I'm wondering if it's worth the money vs. the stock 70A. Keep shredding!

[@DruMarr]

Oh I haven’t seen that, I’m assuming I own the 70A ESC and the 100 is the upgraded version?

[@itsmatt3627]

Great vid! What could be more useful will be that you test this upgraded Hurricane next to other boards (Hadean, Lacroix, Kaly), so we actually see how it performs next to other big boys. Right now, we do feel that you experience a great and better acceleration, but that's only up to you. Some will feel that this acceleration is nut, other not. As soon as you compare it next to other boards, it gives you the credibility of how good the acceleration of this Hurricane is. Otherwise, keep the great job, that's some really nice content! Cheers ✌🏻

[@Pattower]

That's already been done and the Hurricane dominates the Hadean and Zeus

[@itsmatt3627]

@@Pattower talking about Lacroix and Kaly.

Prices quit different compared meepo and lacroix for me already more than enough to know meepo faster then hadean

Have you made a review on the hurricane yet?

[@mike212916]

get riptide bushings. They are 100% worth it. My buddy and I bought 3 sets for our 3 wowgo AT2's

[@dgor.1266]

I think this might be my next board and that will be it still waiting to see what Hoyt X22

[@camomaster6316]

Just ordered one with your code. Was a tad disappointed in the power of the Zeus. Hoping I like the hurricane more. Probably be spring before it shows up but $1290 is hard to pass up.

[@DruMarr]

True, I hear that the Zeus doesn’t have a lot of punch, I would compare it to the speed of my AT2, I’m pretty sure the torque on this thing will surprise you 😉

[@camomaster6316]

@Dru Marr you would compare what to the speed of your at2? The hurricane? The Zeus has plenty of top-end it just doesn't have that Punchy acceleration that I like, I also have an at2 but that doesn't have much torque either.

[@DruMarr]

@@camomaster6316 I mean comparing the Zeus acceleration it to the AT2

[@camomaster6316]

@Dru Marr gotcha. Yup they are about the same. Thanks for the info!

[@beardedaus1051]

Correct me if I am wrong but the background so reminds me of Pensacola back when I was in A school?

[@DruMarr]

Yep exactly where I’m at 😂

[@Pattower]

Street Wheels please

[@DruMarr]

Hmm 🤔 what would you like me to do on them?

[@Pattower]

@@DruMarr hit 35 mph

[@aaronroach8218]

@@Pattower I think you'll only hit 35 with cloudwheels or pneumatics. The 90mm street wheels are too small. Acceleration would be crazy with them tho

i would love a tutorial on how to do the upgrade cus it looks hard af

[@Bearforceone]

Meepo sends you a video to the mail you used if you've purchased the board before the change.

[@saulzg7]

@@Bearforceone yep those videos are trash they use some black thing i have idea what it is

[@Locksmith92]

Im on a v4s and i dont know if i need more torque or more to speed...I'm think 28 is decent speed but after 1500 miles and a broken foot i still want more..I might try 90mm front and 105 rear wheels to see if i regain the speed and torque...

[@huskers1278]

So I'm confused I contacted support because I just ordered this board and they told me it still has the 70 Amp esc and I'd need to purchase a 100 amp if I wanted it.

[@Jeffx22]

Are the new accessories like the new esc, M4S remote, base plate, etc, going to be implemented for people who purchased this board a few weeks after release? I ordered mine on November 12 and wonder if these are already implemented without us manually do it?

[@DruMarr]

Every new hurricane after the email will cone with the parts already implemented, if not then they’ll send you the new parts to the same address

[@Esk-be8kd]

How many amps is new esc run?

[@prycemonger]

In speed mode 3, is the acceleration gentler or is it the same acceleration and just top speed that's different? Thanks

[@bulletproofchunkdion]

Speed mode 3 is a gentler acceleration and top speed is basically the same. Maybe just a couple mph slower.

[@DruMarr]

For the new ESC speed mode 3 is exactly the same to me as the old one

[@robertgomez5545]

Epic

[@richyberdichosky9280]

Is the ESC right now in the new Hurricane!? Because I ordered my board few days ago....

No extra tubes or belts come with the hurricane :/

@@gregholland11 meepo has not yet listed new tires or tubes on their website yet. As long as your board is within warranty they will send you new ones free of charge

[@HidingFromJessica]

Mine came with 2 extra

[@lakersraiders805]

I'm not going to put in the new esc yet because I don't want to take this whole board apart. The install process looks tedious, and this thing is fast enough for me....for now.

[@DruMarr]

FACTS even though mode 4 take off isn’t too powerful it was plenty for me, it took a lot of glue and shrink wrap deconstruction in order to put the new ESC in, the extra torque and be unbearable at times, the older ESC had a smoother curve to it

[@thomasc5124]

I'm waiting on mine. I currently have the raldey all terrain V2 I'm hoping the hurricane has more torque.. cause the current one is very strong but I want more

[@DruMarr]

It’s pretty much confirmed that this 2 in 1 board has the highest torque of 2021, good luck staying on lol

@@DruMarr I currently have a Backfire X2 ranger. 2 x 2400W hub motors. This Meepo is a beast, about to order one.

[@QbertTehKiller]

It should now be capable of 35 have you tried getting to top speed?

[@DruMarr]

Remember, I’m using Wowgo wheels and different pulley system than meepos, so speed does vary, wish my tires weren’t popped

[@contorta960]

35 is in street wheel configuration, smaller drive gear. (You can get 3rd party gears too from Board Bumpers and get 40mph out of this with a 29T) They sell a 23T Gear as well

[@maneeoocho350]

Does it feel faster with the street wheels ?

[@DruMarr]

Not really, I feel safer and faster with pneumatics

[@kyistarr4939]

should they of send them in the new boards they sent out in the beginning of november

[@DruMarr]

Every new hurricane will be receiving this new ESC

[@ryanschulz9893]

nice video dude. Just wondering how much you weigh for reference for these tests. Also, did you change the wheel size on the remote or is it still set up for the 6 inch tires?

[@DruMarr]

I weigh 168 pounds, You can’t really change wheel size it just says “wheel speed 68” The remote was 1-2 mph off the gopro speed so it’s pretty accurate

[@bmrbca3658]

Which board is more fun to ride for slow speed carving and cruising your AT2 or the Hurricane?

[@DruMarr]

AT2 carving monster, not very stable, but it only hits 25mph anyways, meepo hurricane is the tank, tighter bushings less carving but plows through any bump or crack very stable. AT2 slower speeds

[@RockHeroBand]

No issues with the hurricane but your tire popped and that's an issue.

[@DruMarr]

True, but tires pop, belts break, bearings squeak, it’s all apart of the maintenance of a belt drive electric skateboard

[@MilosSrb420]

New hurricane esc with 29t pulleys and 120mm cloud wheels hit 40mph

[@DruMarr]

I saw that I was like what

[@Level-ts7xl]

good video bro. i've been looking at buying a hurricane for a while now but im holding off until winter blows over. how's the reliability of these types of electric longboards? wouldn't be fun to buy one and 2 years later it breaks when the warranty is gone.

[@Pattower]

Meepo are fairly reliable from my experience. What is exciting about this board is it something does break it can be upgraded through DIY route. ESC breaks, upgrade it. Wheels break, upgrade them. Motors break.... Just replace them. Can't really replace the deck which they drive a car over. Battery pack looks fairly bulletproof.

[@DruMarr]

If you’re trying to get the best of the best right now that’ll last you years? Hurricane is it. All extra parts can be purchased on meepos website. Carbon fiber deck so it’ll never crack on you, you’ll just have to replace belts and tires once in a while

[@iSh0otGunz]

Esk8unity just dropped a video of him hitting 40mph with 29t pulleys and the updated ESC….🤯

Thsoe guys compared 3 boards all using different wheels and said that wheels have no effect on comparisons, I wouldn't take anything they say as fact lol

[@luoxurui6731]

I'm curious whether he has enough brakes and whether his steering is flexible

[@DruMarr]

Steering, you do have to press down hard to make sharp turns, but that’s for the safety of going high too speeds, you saw me break all the time in the video

[@thenotoriousnightmare24]

how do you keep the electric skateboard battery good and not have battery sag

[@DruMarr]

The only way to do that is by never using it ;)

[@contorta960]

A moment of silence for everyone in Australia, they have like the best weather for shredding but this is off limits for them. Absolute beast of a board. Only lacks aesthetics but with what it can do and for currently under £1k (black Friday sale) then it's a fair trade off. Makes other board makers look like they're lacking the premium power!

Why is it off limits?
