Propel Pivot GT: Is this the Best 2-in-1 Electric Skateboard on the Market in 2023 ?

[@uchechileslie7525]

Hello, I bought this Pivot GT 2 in 1 skateboard because of your review on it. I bought it in August 2023. Sadly, I think they have scammed me for my money. They sent two emails in August and September saying a tracking number would be send early September. I waited patiently and never received a tracking number. I emailed them on September 18, 2023, asking for a tracking number. They never emailed back to this. It is October now and they still are not responding and have yet to send me a tracking number to the Pivot GT I bought in August. Was I scammed? My name is Charletta Martin

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Hmmm not at all I can guarantee that. Sounds like a massive mistake Let me message the owner and get it sorted asap All of China is closed for a week at the moment for a public holiday event but I’ll get you a update Normally massive delays like this are a result of boards getting held at customs 🛃 due to massive backlogs and unfortunately skate company’s have no influence over that Leave it with me

[@propelvirtualgarage963]

Scott, I replied here 3x and it keeps getting removed, even with no email links but Javen let me know he has reached out to her personally. It seems we have replied to every email within 24 hours so they are most likely going to her spam email.

Oh no this really concerns me. I've had exactly this experience with meepo. 😅😅😅😅😅

[@leadergo]

I didn't know about that PCB battery! That's a massive W for Propel!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea man it’s such a well thought out board. I feel like they read all the complaints from other brands and addressed them in the Pivot

[@tracyl595]

SCOTTD coupon code still works, the code itself gave me enough to almost pay the entire shipping cost. Thanks for your review Scott, It Helped me decide on my first board. This is an intermediate board just beyond entry level. Other boards with similar specs want about 500 USD more at the time of this writing. Many of the entry level boards didn't meet much of what I was looking for. This board was the best compromise for my needs and wants. I'm looking forward to having fun with it. Have fun, Ride Fast..

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Awesome glad it saved you some $$$$

[@ohcolin]

Great view Scott that board looks amazing

I was digging the board as soon as i seen it and with its special features looks like a sell to me! Love it! Where you at freddy...heal up

[@sethmcneill5283]

Great job, you seem really excited! I am loving my endeavor pro 2. Would you ever want to make a video on how you use your 360 camera? You always get great shots and I struggle on knowing how to film myself / edit video sometimes…

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks mate, To be honest I don’t use a 360 camera this is just a GoPro here 10 on a cheap stick

[@111johny11]

Hello, what do you think about the performance between nomad n1 and the pivot gt? Nomad has 90A esc and bigger motors than pivot.

[@cjm321]

So what are your honest thoughts about the endeavor 2 pro? Is there anything I’m going to want to upgrade in time? Do I want the smaller street pneumatics? What’s your opinion?

[@johntemplin7100]

Love the excitement man , sounds like a quality board

[@somanynoodles]

Amazing review, What Camera did you use to record this review?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks The outdoor footage is my GoPro 10 Indoor is my Sony ZV1 Both really nice simple cameras

[@yohvh]

Questions: When installing my AT wheels. the back feels like having a lot more resistance when rolling my board if its turned off. Is this normal? When I am low on battery the controller starts to vibrate a few times every X seconds. when on 1/5 bars. Is it okay to drive slowly when this happens. how much range is left. 20%? When using my Street wheels. I've got a rattling sound in the rear wheels. It seem to be the spacers inside the rear wheel. Do you have this issue as well?

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Great video Scott. Totally into the vibe. You looked like you were having so much fun out there. Great intro too. PIVOT!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Great and Happy review!

[@phizicks]

6:24 OOOoo riding in center/almost right right when bikes passing, naughty naughty :P hehe 7:12 you meant they have a really high discharge current vs capacity? 8:26 that seems to infer a rigid design which with vibration will break over time, I'd like to get more info on the engineering side of that some time. 11:05 with pneumatic tires, carbon fiber doesn't bother me but ABEC 107mm, nothing stops vibrations hehe 16:40 yeah love those rims

[@TheSivoo]

Do they have a warehouse in australia where shipping is cheaper or does it all get shipped from china? Thanks Andrew.

[@Offishal_Lifestyle]

what knee pads are you wearing and would you suggest pivot or endeavor for someone with knee issues.

[@trevorkenny]

Board looks great. Wish the "default" was the big wheels.

[@Heavy_Metal_eSk8r]

Propel with another winner! Awesome review mate.

[@jak3ra]

I hope that all electric skateboard manufacturers would design a remote control for left-handed people as well. Currently, left-handed individuals cannot see the display at all or it is difficult to view.

[@josephclapp1157]

Agreed. I’m a left handed rider and I have to always tilt to view it.

[@aaronpatrick-p3x]

I’ve heard eboards are illegal in Australia, is that true?

How many amps does the charger outputs? How long does it takes to charge the board?

[@takeotodoroki307]

[@takeotodoroki307]

Is worth buying? How about the range? Is it good?

[@alastairminty]

What do you think about the decision to go DKP on this board? Looks like you were happy with stability at speed, would you prefer a TKP or is it not an issue?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Hey Minty, In a world of TKP It was refreshing to ride DKP, and to me delight it was quite stable I can honestly say at no stage did I get a single speed wobble

[@alastairminty]

@scottdaviesyoutube Good to hear, that was really my only query about the specs. Looks to be a great board, and a top notch review from yourself 👍

Yea man she’s got some balls. What’s your road to recovery like ?

[@TarnishedProductions]

hello, would you recommend this board or the endeavor for a beginner? trying to decide between weight and turning radius vs stability

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

For a beginner I’d recommend the pivot It’s a lot more manageable

If you remember, how long did it take to arrive after receiving tracking number? I received my tracking info two days ago, and so far no updates and hasn’t been picked up by UPS yet.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

About 4 weeks to Australia

[@ronnie5966]

Should be the other way? Solid light when riding and flashing when breaking?

Mate sooooo many good options My personal favourite at the moment is the Aries 2023 but it’s also quite expensive Zeus is tried and tested and Pivot is making a very good name for itself. The big positive thing about Pivot is it’s customer service, they are one of the best in the biz

Isn’t the Zeus Max $450 USD more? One could almost buy a PS5 with those savings. Probably more fair to compare similarly priced boards.

I gotta ask... you have a beautiful path there right beside the water. You ever see any creatures you'd rather not see hanging out on the pavement?

[@kevinl3892]

Dose the esc having a 90% warranty claim rate on it. Mean its in a bad location? Possibly having a problem getting wet or something. But yeah looks like a great board at any price for that matter. You seemed to be having a blast out there. Wondering how the accelerating compares to the Atlas pro? Thanks for the video. Peace

[@mikemenard4543]

He means that between battery issues or esc issues historically on warranty claims the vast majority of the time it’s ESCs that need to be replaced. He does not mean that 90% of all ESCs go. The total number of ESCs that go is still a very small % in comparison to total board ownership but even less batteries go than that. So having the ability to access the esc location from below means easier ownership. Including for those who just want to add their own custom one.

Hey Scott, bout to hit the purchase button on either Pivot GT or ownboard zeus pro. There's a $90 difference between the 2 after shipping/taxes. Help me make a decision :D Id want reliability and overall good riding feel. Came from an Exway X1 Max a while back and hated the range, small wheels, the truck snapped on me while going 10mph. It was probably due to hitting all the sidewalk cracks.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Hmmmm no bad choice out of those two I do love the Pivot look and ride feel Speed mode 1-3 are quite relaxed and if you want more get up and go speed mode 4 is fun, The big plus Propel has I think over most brands I’d their customer service and constant innovation Yea after my discount code it’s very very good value especially with the 50s cells

@yohvh hey mate, I honestly don’t believe propel lies to anybody about shipping dates shipping is out of their control and sometimes things do take longer than expected. My suggestion would be to reach out to propel online. They have two guys based in America, who answered all queries very quickly and very honestly their names are Michael and Russ. Unfortunately, the comment section can be a dangerous place as it has been proven other brands are paying and motivating non-owners to leave bad comments to try to scare new owners off some brands. Also feel free to reach out to me on Instagram and we can chat 💬
