MEEPO Hurricane Ultra Gear Drive

[@WorldwideDarts]

Let's go 10k subs!!! Coming soon Scott. Great video and what looks to be an awesome board!

[@machyne82]

Bamboo, TKP, Belt! That’s the way!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yes their Bamboo deck looks amazing

[@willchutech]

Love the jumpy music! just like a rock n roll video!

[@eduardg5619]

The music reminds me to the 'CRANK' movie with Jason Statham 🤙

[@iraira2818]

Good good good video; good quick review 👍 ...(I'm whispering) This is the board and set up I'm going to purchase.

[@esk8unity]

niceee!! keep killing it brotha!

[@ryanschulz9893]

Cmon so close to 10k. I told you last year you’d get there so I know you can do it!

[@cornyandtheboss]

I really enjoy you're content!!! Always learn lots!!! Thank you!!!

[@DrewElia]

awesome stuff, i agree the samsung batteries were a bit of a miss but its all good!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Thanks for the feedback, Drew!

[@ajplant96]

40T are fine, there’s really not any capacity loss for the most part, it’s rare you’ll find a p42a cell much over 4000mah in capacity.

[@mikezockt72]

Hey Scott, this was another well made Video! Greetings, Mike.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks Mike !

Important note if you go buy the Gear drive etc. No one else sells replacement tires, gears, rims and so on, only meepo. So if they for whatever reason stop selling them means you're out of luck repairing it if anything is broken.

[@WorldwideDarts]

It's gears though. I'm sure it's easy enough to find aftermarket replacements

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

You don't need to worry about finding the broken parts, just contact us!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Hey Scott! We really loved your video! About the grease you have mentioned in the video, the reason is that, is because we are worried it may get spit out everywhere when you are going really fast, that's why we didn't add that much! I hope this can explain the confusion, and if you have any other questions, please feel free to comment down below!

[@davidheath2427]

It won't matter how much grease you put in it will get thrown away from the gears and stick where you don't need it. Exway are using oil in their gear box , a much better solution. Sorry meepo.

[@ferrettiferre8653]

Hi can you post a map of this ride where did you start? Finish? where was the dirt track? and the beach you ended up at. Thanks

[@snomeD-83]

Wicked review, Scott - thank you! What song is that at 2:35?

[@Why-I-Oughta]

I'm wondering if this board, the Evolve GTR 2 or the Onsra BC3 is the value for money choice. 🤔

[@wtonph6443]

Would you be getting the Eovan GTO SILO GEAR DRIVE to review ?

[@eBoard3R]

⚡🤙🏼 *Pretty inane that we now have the traditionally budget production brands doin gear drive* 🤙🏼⚡ Will be interestin to see how that pans out long term for the average non-DIY rider. Pretty wide lookin deck, I'm fond of 40T cells but I know everyone has now been spoiled with all the Molicel options so it's hard for some to accept 40T now. I have said it time and again, I have seen DIY guys use a Lot more grease on their gear drives. Really enjoyed the background music choice on this one! I'm still waitin for the Meepo Flow with the DKP trucks on a deck with a kicktail. Great ridin footage, another awesome review. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@walker2508]

Looks like a fun board. Looking forward to the NZ vids.

[@aaronroach8218]

I'd like to see an acceleration test between the gear drive and belt versions. Using the same wheels, which version is quicker off the line?

[@georgemuron482]

I was thinking the same think about the grease, it doesn't look like enough to me either, I thought the same thing on other reviews of the meepo gear drive

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea I’ve given them feedback which the have acted on since I filmed this. So good outcome !!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

Thanks for the advice!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

@@scottdaviesyoutube Thanks for your feedback Scott!

[@ajplant96]

@@scottdaviesyoutube I think there’s pretty much enough there, the grease is barely gonna stay on the gears anyway, most gets splattered off on the first ride and sits on the casing.

[@jerome8584]

Did your gear drive kit come with an Allen wrench to remove the set screws holding the original gears on the motors? I just got to that point and the set screw is so tiny and none of the included tools will fit.

[@worachart111]

Nice

[@VladiLama]

Back at nudgee wohoo🎉

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Ohh yea ! Great track

[@VladiLama]

@@scottdaviesyoutube absolutely, kinda mind reseting without cars/traffic. Love it

[@gavinzooms]

Hey Scott! Have you had any experience with Meepo’s customer service? I think I’m gonna go with the Hurricane Bamboo here in the next month or so, and I wanna feel ensured with my purchase as much as possible. The board is so sick and I can’t wait to rip down my city streets.

[@italipino24]

Info on helmet?

[@KalJoao]

Leatt MTB (mountain biking lid). They're $100-300 USD depending on which model you choose. I have the FOX version and it's so comfy I almost always choose it over my halfy.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

This is it: e-riderz.com.au/product/leatt-mtb-3-0-enduro-v22-helmet-steel/ Very comfortable helmet, great vision and nice air flow

[@machyne82]

You gonna get a set of the new DadBod wheels for review?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Doubt it, they don’t even know who I am 😂

[@skylerposton_EDP_Photo]

Im hoping I dont have a major problem. I just got my board today and right out of the box ZERO charge to the board. Ok no biggie, obviously needs to charge caus eits brand new right? Plug it in and the charger is solid green so I have no idea if its actually charging or not. The power button on my board does NOTHING. No lights, no sound, nothing. Hold it for 7 seconds and nothing. The remote obviously doesnt see the board either. I've had it charging for about 2 hohrs now with no sign of change.

[@jonas_vermeylen]

I am buying the hurricane ultra with bamboo, tkp and belt drive. Would you recommend the cyclone racing wheels or the tubeless? I am also buying the cyclone 110s

[@DJMajickMan]

I see they did not install the 100A ESC in the Ultra. So you can still boost it further with that upgrade.

[@ajplant96]

@GeeKIller The gears are cloned off another brand’s and they handle north of 200a fine in some DIY builds, that said who knows where Meepo’s quality sits in comparison despite imitating another brand’s product.

[@DJMajickMan]

@GeeKIller The 100A is an upgrade for all Hurricanes at this point. The Ultra is using the same ESC that's in my Hurricane I purchased around this time last year.

[@syncranize4388]

Which would you recommend Meepo Cyclone 165 tubeless, racing wheel, or AT set for the hurricane. And if you had a rating what would it be for value per dollar for each wheel.

[@RaviPatel-lk4ho]

Gear drive 🚀 Sound like rocket I really enjoyed your review it's very detailed information you catch most of information,details, movment So i am looking board for City riding i want stable board because there are some down hill 1.stable board 2.comfortable 3.budget 1200 euro (1250 Us dollars) 1.hurricane ultra bamboo +TKP +belt drive + 165 mm tubeless tires 2.Wowgo AT2 3.Atlas Carbon-2WD 4.tynee explorer So can you please help me which board i can go for that or you have any more options Thank you..🙂

[@rickyyo215]

What type of grease do you use? Thanks! Bamboo with tkp is def the way to go on any of these if available imo. Carbon too rigid.

[@ryanschulz9893]

Honestly I agree with the bamboo and gear drive but id go for dkp just so that I can really untilize that bamboo deck when carving

[@Gmo_gags]

ah man the music at the end of this video was on point! SALSA! I love the videos! very informative and you have helped me narrow down my decision for tax season! lol If I may ask, are you going to review the tynee ultra with the all-terrain kit? I saw your tynee ultra video where you mentioned it but was wondering if you had a chance? Please do if you could?! Either way, thanks for the vids! Stay Safe!

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

That music is Lit!!!

[@Gmo_gags]

@@MeepoElectricSkateboard your boards are lit! I got the meepo v4 used not too long ago and love that thing! Plannjng on getting the hub motor upgrade kit and handing it down to my son, then getting the hurricane for me! Please keep making cool boards Meepo!

[@KalJoao]

Do you like TKP or DKP more for someone that's a cruiser more than a racer?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Man I love both, the stable high speed of the TKP, but also the loose carve of a DKP, If I had to choose only one for the rest of my life I’d probably go DKP

[@cloudfall1813]

Nooooo forgot the top speed test

[@ESKATEUK]

As a lot of people said the hurricane seemed slow in your race between your original hurricane and the Zeus pro, I myself also felt it seemed a bit slow, maybe defective, but now you have another hurricane, can you tell the difference between the 2? Does this one seem quicker? I’ve got a hurricane ultra belt drive and it’s acceleration is pretty brutal.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Love the Hurricane ultra gear drive. 100% feels a lot more powerful

[@ESKATEUK]

@@scottdaviesyoutube I’m glad you’re getting to appreciate the hurricane to its potential now! Would be interesting to see how this one fairs on the 100m test 😎 take care

[@Chevyepic]

Your trucks seem a bit loose, even just half a turn might do you good at higher speeds.

[@DawnPatrolPMC]

What is your ultras max range? I own the original hurricane and run the racing wheels with belts and I only get about 15 miles in mode 3.(100kg rider)seems low. oh and since belt tension effects range and torque how would you compare it to the gear drive and also water residents?

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

You will get 5 - 10% more range compared to the belt drive system, and even more powerful acceleration!

[@eduardg5619]

I'm planning to buy the bamboo + belt + 165 + tkp, but only 15miles range is scaring me.

[@DawnPatrolPMC]

@@eduardg5619 Personal weight really is the deciding factor when it comes to distance. My lighter/less tall friends get way more distance. You can squeeze a few more miles out of it by using different wheels too. This board is a great value/fun and the site(shipping&taxIncluded in everything) & customer service is better than most. If range is your thing. I do own a Propel endeavor 2 pro, which gives me good range and I really like the Exway atlas pro + Auxpack + 1000w charger. Hope I could help. Keep riding brother.

[@phizicks]

never enough grease. why would the manufacturer care if it survives past the warranty. Looks like they focused on keeping it water safe

[@TheRobincanuck]

Plastic gears no thanks! The bamboo deck with tkp trucks looks like a nice combo. To bad they didn’t got with a better battery:(. Only thing holding me back

[@Catamount19]

Is the deck the same as the OG or is it more flexy? Kami kept talking about it being flexy so i didn't know if it was the same stiff CF or if this deck had some flex to it.

[@khaliltheking]

Kami's english is not his first language. Most of the times when I hear him say Flexible, I think he means "agile". Doesn't make any sense for Carbon deck to be any Flexible.

[@MeepoElectricSkateboard]

It's the ame deck

[@Andersamigo]

Shredding through the grass is all fun and games until you hit a dog dung, i can tell you my friend, not a pleasant experience

[@judgegixxer]

I'm still shopping for a board but I'm not really into the louder than belt geardrives. Understand they are more efficient but they don't sound good to me. Doesn't have the nice Jerico or M22 Muncie sound. lol Sounds more like one of my electric RC cars with a pinion /spur mesh that is too close. I build RC cars and I run my transmission cases pretty much packed full of grease. (Sealed billet transaxle cases) I chase these cars down desolate highways for 5 to 20 km at a shot cruising between 50 and 80 mph. Sometimes blast up past 100mph or 160km/h. With the amount of grease in your geardrives, my old plastic transaxle diff planetary gears would melt at triple digit speeds. (Got rid of the plastic and run stainless gears now) . Just sayin I'd put some more grease in there..There is lots of pressure on those tiny teath pulling all that human weight. These boards run 150-400kv motors whereas my 1/7th and 1/10th scale RC's only run lower torque higher speed 1700kv to 2400kv. More grease probably quiet it down a little too. Another good video. Think I binge watched most of them lately.

[@eduardg5619]

Plastic gears, I'm out, sorry.

[@gavinzooms]

Get belt then

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

100% 😂
