Propel Endeavor 3 GT, Most Comfortable Off -Road Electric Skateboard

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Propel bringing the goods. Great review legend. Love your work brother. 💯❤️🛹

[@DrewElia]

You already know I love you more! 😜

[@Dubsteppah]

Ok I live in montana, and let me tell you it's a paradise for board sports / offroad and paved trail systems that go 20-30 even more miles. I have an e-skate and an electric scooter and it's so great, if you're ever in he area and want to ride please hmu. I love your vids Drew!

[@scienz0220]

I'll ask my wife to move there

[@DrewElia]

Ohhhh I’ve never been to Montana. Would be epic if I could take a road trip across America and ride in different states along the way…. Now you got me thinking.

[@Dubsteppah]

@@DrewElia brother, anytime, I would meet up for a ride anytime, day, night, if you ever come to Montana you got a personal guide. I've lived here 50 years. It's a mecca. I know it's the 4th largest state but I would meet you anywhere to ride friend. And hey ,much love Drew. We wish safe and happy riding to you and yours.

[@DrewElia]

Thank you so much! Growing up in the outdoors of Maine I’m sure it has some of the most insane natural beauty, and as a photographer first before all of this KZbin stuff, it would be a nice bucket list to visit! Goals to set and reach for my friend! You ride safe as well!

[@michaelholt1582]

You have nailed another review loving your work/passion 👌😎

[@DrewElia]

Thank you! I really appreciate that so much! Thank you! Thank you thank you! Cheers!

[@g12antch0ng]

Definitely would consider one for an off roader! Thanks for the review!

[@DrewElia]

Glad you enjoyed the review, it's definitely a comfortable ride!

[@Dismyusirname]

THe suspension on that board is straight up mesmerizing to watch. I think it's time I invested in an off road board!

[@DrewElia]

It’s worth a look!!

[@chloefletcher9612]

I love My Endeavor - I don't think I will ever have a different daily rider again. I simply love it.

[@DrewElia]

Right on! Good choice! It’s definitely a comfortable ride!

[@eBoard3R]

*Bang bang* 🤙🏽⚡️🤟🏽⚡️👌🏽 Epic carvin as always. Seems like a really nice board 👌🏽👌🏽 Big yet really carvable ⚡️⚡️ I saw the neon yellow on grey and thought 🤩 then I see my spirit 😂 Love that! Dude those are 🔥🔥 Some great points / pros and cons raised 👏🏽👏🏽 50S cell is the king of 2024, wonder if it will be toppled in 2025.

[@DrewElia]

Thank you brother! It is big as carve-able! I broke those shoes out of retirement for you, my 1031 puma Halloween edition haha. They haven’t seen the light of day for a few years but love how they look! Samsung 50a is that Goldilocks of a battery cell right now, until the new molicel drops, and has the same MH and more discharge 😂

[@jonyoungs5547]

Ive had a couple diffrent remotes on 3 diffrent boards,i ride a bunch of hard offroad in the arizona desert and i will say that temote takes a hit better than sn other ive had,love your reviews inhope this helps folks

[@DrewElia]

Thanks for sharing! I love the color screen, and I totally understand it can take a beating but I dont know, I kinda want more haha 🤣 just suggestions

[@arranwilliams2523]

that would be so much fun to rip up the side of a mountain with! One day ill have a propel in my lineup!

[@DrewElia]

Yes this is definitely an off road ripper! Mountain trails and all

[@jayspadaro]

Would you recommend this board or the Acedeck NYX Z3? I don't like the battery on top but I do like the encased gear drives. Thanks Drew, you are the ESK8 👑!!

[@willfullyinformed]

I got the Nyx 3 Elite a few weeks ago. I had the Endeavor 2 Pro 2 years ago, loved it, but had a few issues with its design. The Endeavor 3 seems like a bigger improvement. Now, the gear/belt drive's optional, built in lights, which is all great, but Propel's still repeating some designs I wasn't a huge fan of (low ground clearance, harder to haul, long shipping time in US, etc.). For me, Nyx at the same price point resolved a lot for me; higher off the ground due to battery design, 6k to 7500w gear drives, easy ways to haul, climbs 50% gradients, CNC everything, and premium feel overall. Personally, I feel like I'm getting more value for the money. Either way, you will 100% be happy with your choice, I'm just giving some nuance, they're both awesome brands.

[@DrewElia]

So the endeavor offers gear drive as well! Same exact board just in gear drive set up. I agree with you that gear drive for off roading boards is definitely a plus, to worry about grass rocks twigs getting stuck into the belt drive. I just was out on the endeavor yesterday and the grass area was a little taller than before and got all stuck up in my belts. Easy to clean out but still just one more thing to consider picking between belt or gear drive. Z3 is a fantastic board, the trucks have been improved even since they originally sent me and have sent out new parts for first batch buyers. The top mounted box gives you the most clearance when it comes to off roading trails it’s the only way to get maximum clearance for any eskate. The endeavor does a great job and looks fantastic, but as some people have said they’ve gotten stuck on larger roots and rocks. Which maybe top mounted wouldn’t have. Things to consider!

[@castnortheast]

The Endeavor line is our 80 lineup. Our off-road board is the x4r. Clearance isn't much of an issue with an at board so much as it is with an off-road board but even at that the clearance is not determined by where the battery case lies, it's determined at the lowest point of the suspension. That's why the suspension on Endeavor and the suspenssion on x4r are different because they serve different purposes.

[@jayspadaro]

Thanks guys for the replies. Yeah I'm in love with CNC build quality of NYX. One last question, can you setup the acceleration on the NYX to be as quick off the line as the nomad n1? I want something that's going to scare the $#@& out of me! 😂

[@DrewElia]

The NYX in S+ mode will do that 🤣 and the ability on the endeavor as well to rip it off the line in top mode you can also customize the output on each level on the remote with the endeavor

[@sykrss9534]

I’ll be getting mine in 2 weeks if they are still on sale man I’m praying lmao I’ve got a couple boards in mind but man I want this one

[@DrewElia]

I belive they are going till mid October?? So you should be good! Definitely a fantastic board! What do you like about the board the most?

[@sykrss9534]

@@DrewEliaI’ve never had an independent suspension board before, I was looking at the hussar omw which I saw your review of looks great as well or the acedeck nomad n1, but this board looks like it was made for me haha, what other boards in the price range would you recommend over this, any?

[@jeduwardovega6239]

If my favorite character of anime rides it I'll get one too😂 Love those shocks springs looks amazing

[@DrewElia]

Haha, NIMBUS! It was the first thing I thought of when I stepped on it and was like this is a cloud

[@jeduwardovega6239]

@@DrewElia totally🌩 dude ' cool 😎 video

[@educator7900]

Dawwee 🙏🏁

[@jean-guillotin]

My favorite board.

[@DrewElia]

Awesome! What do you love about?!

[@jean-guillotin]

@@DrewElia Large battery, great range, looks awesome ! 🤩 And now with Gear Drive, just more awesome 🚀 I understand it's a real all terrain, but I would use it mostly on asphalt road, so I'd put probably different tires. Either 175 mm black and white Evolve tires 😎, or even 165x 72 mm linnpower Next road tires. ( would they fit on the Bravura hub ? ) My top 3 favorite skate are 1- Endeavor GT3. 2- Lorentz Major 3- Acedeck N3 But I really want to see the next Propel X4R 👀

[@DrewElia]

Great choices in tires, and boards! May I add to that tire selection the Nova from Mboard as well, super grippy for road riding and offers a nice flat profile! This board is a dream for urban jungle as I call it! That concrete jungle sometimes is worse than the real jungle! Potholes, cracks, curbs, this board can handle it all!

[@WorldMoneyWins]

$2,199 does not seem like a bad price for what you are getting. Looks like a fantastic ride, and good price to me.

[@DrewElia]

I agree, just it’s a great price for the quality you’re getting with the board! A

[@scienz0220]

The looks this GT gives shout "dialed in", for sure. I could see the mismatch on the slim style remote. One more offroad temptation for my urethane heart 😅

[@DrewElia]

Dude I’m a thane lover for life but gees these boards truly grip and act like snowboards. It’s hard for me to decide sometimes

[@xiebus]

Ahaha, love the intro, the nimbus ❤

Glad you enjoyed! I thought about it the first time I stepped on it!

[@willfullyinformed]

Great review! I got the Nyx 3 Elite this time, 3 weeks ago. I had the Endeavor 2 Pro 2 years ago, loved it, but had a few issues with its design. The board is kinda low to the ground so decent trail rocks would get me stuck, limited ways to haul the board was obnoxious, no built in lights, mandatory belt drive - belts would slip depending on gradient, it couldn't climb certain hills in NC. Now, gear drive's optional, built in lights, which is all great, but they're still repeating some designs I wasn't a huge fan of. Nyx at the same price point resolved a lot for me; higher off the ground, 7500w gear drives, easy ways to haul, climbs 50% gradients, CNC everything, and premium feel overall - it made me feel I'm getting more value for the same cost. Cheers!! Any idea of a good cellphone holder for these boards by the way? Looking to get the phone out of my pocket.

[@DrewElia]

All great points!!! I love my Z3 as well for those reasons! I haven’t used the cell phone holders but there are a group of EUC riders that have the wrist arm attachment for their phone. Not sure where they got it but still cool idea

[@willfullyinformed]

@@DrewElia Awesome, thank you! I'll look into those, interesting idea.

[@ChrisIrwin-dk6ed]

Great review!! How does it compare to the Nomad N3?

[@DrewElia]

Thanks you! It’s not the same, suspension alone makes the WORLD of difference, but the power is great in the GT and range is great as well! The N3 is in a different class than this, but both are fantastic boards

[@ChrisIrwin-dk6ed]

Different class how? The N3 better or are they so different you can’t compare them? Can the N3 off-road at all or is it really just an on road board and the GT can do both? I don’t know which one to buy! First time eboard rider that snowboards so I want to buy something that will last

[@sku220]

Is there any chanse to ride it with cloudwheels 165r or the ground clerance will be too low ?

[@DrewElia]

I don’t think you can use those!

[@combustion8]

Looks really mushy for street riding.. would the Ruckus be better for street carving?

[@DrewElia]

So the suspension adds what would call a “deep powder carve” if you’ve ever ridden in fresh powder it’s just like gliding back and forth! The TKP ruckus is also snowboarding style due tot he flexing deck but it feel more like a groomed trail riding. You can really dig into your edges and get some beautiful WAAH PAAH! You’re not going to be disappointed with either board though! They are fantastic options. If you’re looking to grab either one make sure to save yourself some money with my code as well!

[@AllanPowell]

you know what you gotta do now? 8 inch novas

[@DrewElia]

I’d love a set of 8 and 7 novas, maximum grip!

[@AllanPowell]

@@DrewElia I put the 8 inch novas on my Z1 and the carve feel is unreal. The knobbys that came with it are great on their own merit, but it's apples and oranges to the novas.

[@jonathanattal5419]

best shoes to ride is air max

[@DrewElia]

Interesting statement, I feel that the vans has the most feeling of the road but I’ve never been an air max user myself.

[@davidcai3600]

I have a 2 pro but this company's fatal design flaw is that it is belt drive. offroading requires gear drive as I off roaded and got tons of dust and leaves in my belts.

[@DrewElia]

They offer gear drive in this board though
