Do the review ont he belt drive version..........NOW or i'm going to call Davie504 to slap you with his bass!

[@DanielKwan]

Tony Wu The board came with 97mm wheels installed and they use a different core from the 115mm wheels. Since I was switching to wheels that have a different core, I had to change the wheel mount also.

Another advantage of direct drive is heat dissipation. Hub motors are wrapped in urethane and do not dissipate heat as well.

I was hyped about ONSRA BLACK CARVE since Fabi announced that he's working on a direct drive board. After your review, I'm 100% sure this is my dream board. Maybe if I get rich and my Gf will allow me I would definitely buy one as a gift for me) I never thought that you Daniel would make a review on this board, but thank you, I really appreciate it! Good luck!

[@GrahamJohnson10]

I used to own a BB V2 Dual Plus which after 1300 miles suffered the motor bearing problem. I personally now have learnt the more moving parts the more trouble so brought this board because of the fact there are no problems worrying about snapped belts ect ect.

[@bretholtzman1524]

Dan the man, hope all is good, great review !

[@fredoknowsbest]

Amazing video. Love it. I'll definitely use your code when I purchase a board. Love it

[@ttgnam81]

I just got the delivery of the board yesterday. I feel even better about it after watching this video. I had an Ownboard carbon before. This is definitely a level up in terms of power, look, and comfort. I love the fact that how easy it is to swab tires. It takes one minute to do it. Probably you can do it on the street if you want to.

[@V1NC3J]

What made you want to upgrade from the Ownboard Carbon?

[@ttgnam81]

@@V1NC3J Ownboard was really good board and nothing wrong with it. But I wanted more power and speed. Ownboard tops out at 26mph with cloud wheels. Meepo V3 I had went 28mph. Just wanted 12s power as all other high-end boards have.

[@pwd026]

This board is on the top of my list of boards for sure. It looks super good and the specs are amazing. Not to mention its a lot cheaper than other boards with close to the same specs.

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

amazing video! Could you do a comparison with the belt drive version and with different wheels?

[@racemode]

I have a board from that manufacturer. I love it! 120mm rubber wheels and this motor is pretty much AT. Thanks for letting me know that the motor sleeve can be replaced.

[@kchabwa]

Appreciate this review! The 'reviews' from that are from the same person who designed/ is selling the board always feel more like infomercials to me so I appreciate your objectivity.

[@kemckelv]

Hands down my favorite review guy!

[@zpepe]

I was one of the first to buy his direct drive board. Back when it was still the DS Black Carve. I absolutely love the board. I smoke just about everyone... Well everyone actually. The only drawback as DKWAN stated was the fact that the motors are low and will get nicks. Fabian did what most couldn't re quality vs price...I whole heartedly recommend the DD Onsra

[@cashew5723]

zpepe How long did it take to get the board and where are u located Bc i had to get a refund 😩

[@zpepe]

Bought Jan 27 and delivered March 25th. I'm in Canada. Why the refund? Spent the better part of a year looking for the right board.

Yo buddy , so my is actually the last of “Fäboard black carve“ and its great . Even its a 10s4p board yes its running awesome and brings me a lot of fun while sliding around on forest pathes or carving trough my city . I ve no seriously issues whith it ,everything is fixable ,the only issue is speedwobbles and can not be fixed you know. I am proud to be a black carver ,probably the only one in a diameter of 300km . People here more goin on MoBo , never mind that one. All the people here love to see me ridin around and are pretty impressed . Hafe fun take care bro ,see ya

Hi Daniel, great explanatory and review videos you’ve been putting out. In regards of comparisons between brands and models, taking into ride performance, hardware, as well as, the ESC support/app what would you recommend when looking into getting the Onsra Carve and the Exway Flex? Thank you

[@evolveSkateboards]

Savage! 😂 😂

[@nathanbennett7876]

Haha Quality! Come on evolve drop the price a little! Fabi offers 1 year warranty and great customer service. He even uses the exact same trucks. Not gonna lie lost a bit of respect for you guys when you slated a prototype exway flex. Bad move. Just being honest

[@Majinvash]

Do you guys get a cut from every one of these sold? Since you know, you designed it and everything.

Hey remember that time yall dodged allegations of life threatening injuries on your boards and paid a reviewer for a prototype board so you could shit on it? bc I do :)

I'm finding more and more that Evolve Skateboards are a little bit like Collingwood football club. You are either a 1 eye supporter, or you avidly and religiously hate them. Be nice to see some more objective views coming out on it. Kinda jarring just to see the 1 of 2 sides all the time.

Please follow up with review of the 97mm wheels. Especially interested to know if the board bottoms out with smaller wheels since it is so low to the ground. Thanks as always for an excellent review. Keep um coming.

[@ultrarealm]

Hello, Mr. Kwan, Thanks a lot for this amazing vid, do you know if there is a flashship store for the alterbag in China?

[@DanielKwan]

I think they only sell online.

[@jcviolet]

I was on the Raldey board and the battery failed on me. I don’t know much about boards but I think that the belt drive made it come to a sudden and almost immediate stop from about 25mph. I ended up wiping out, cracked my helmet and had a pretty bad concussion. So now I’m a little scared to get back on the board. With the hub drive or direct drive boards if the battery fails will it coast?

[@hellohogo]

Those wheels look the perfect diameter. Are they sold separately? The 120mm clouds are just a smidge too big

[@anassuahabi3965]

hell yeah fabi board! are you going to teste the onsra AT version ? and also 3:49 i wasn't ready haha

[@jonathanthao5565]

I don’t get why ppl don’t like the noise belt drives make. To me it’s like an exhaust to a car, it sounds sexy

[@deadlyisgod7002]

I think I might get this board, my town's roads are garbage but my biggest concern is getting a rock or somthing in the direct drive so idkk

[@Stanz8]

Great review! I was also a bit negatively biased about this board due to the previous boards he made, but with this review, it seems really solid, and could be a nice board to get 👍🏻. It’s really nice for those who don’t want the maintenance side of a belt drive, but also want the other advantages of it.

[@TLCampbell24]

Can you comment on whether their 115 wheels are as good or better than the 105 cloud wheels. I'm looking for board that is low maintenance, can absorb cracks and rough roads, and provide a nice smooth ride. I will only be riding on paved roads. Mild carving. Hoping to avoid the risk of my wheels losing traction. Not sure if I should get the Backfire or G3 or this Onsra because of their big tires.

[@mmmm-it5fh]

Hi does it come with a abec fitting with the 97mm wheels that come with the board

[@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent]

I agree.

I think you’d be happy with either one. You’re quite light so you might want to consider the weight of the board, especially if you have to carry it up and down stairs.
