Honestly, no one does review like you do sir. Always entertaining and educational 🎉 this board looks really cool

[@cornyandtheboss]

I love you're videos man!!!! Always learning new stuff and gives advice on boards I so appreciate!!! Thank you!!!!

[@Waz0]

Very good video! One of the first videos on the board that actually answers all of my concerns. One thing I still actually have in mind, is if the LED’s with the anti collision material will get scratched up in the back of the board over time…? But that was the only thing. Great video, explaining and showing everything down to every little detail! Like from me💪

[@orion2724]

waiting on my zealot x for over a week, super excited!

[@WorldwideDarts]

I started my e-board life with a couple Zealot S boards. They've been super reliable and fun. I'm now moving onto something with a much better range but the Zealot's are a great board. I wouldn't mind trying the X.

[@DrewElia]

Love a glowing….deck…. Stiff, firm, curved…..any hoo. Lovely review. Fantastic board and really awesome set up!

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Nice review Scott. Such a nice board. I’m loving that remote.

[@djwardlowentertainment9098]

Great video. The lights look amazing. I wish it had more flex but I totally understand with the new battery it stiffens up the deck.

[@ohcolin]

The led lights is a big selling point for me thx for the review Scott

[@MadDonJuan]

Just got to love that remote 😍 and your Shirt BTW. Lol. Thanks for the Video.

[@thebishop74]

I'm impressed it got up that hill, it's a beast of a hill, never looks it in pics or video. Also, Brisbane path life, those thumping great joins on the Story Bridge, and all the other roughness we deal with, part of why I ditched my 2S Pro hub board, and promised I'd not get another board till I can afford something that will run pneumatic tyres.

[@tirasweatherford3077]

Your thumb nail is very funny it shows your great sense of humor cheers🎉🎉🎉😂

[@d4vv359]

10/10 video! Would love to see a range test on the board :) keep it up!

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Coming soon (give me 3 weeks)

[@mrcoin777]

Backfire wheels are so durable. I have almost 2000 km on zealot and they still look brand new :)

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yep, they have an amazing compound

[@rafaelinmissouri6235]

I love the Trohn look

[@eBoard3R]

⚡ *Impressive specs, wish they had these specs with the S2 aesthetic* 👀⚡ I've noticed a handful of companies goin with 50S cells. "X Gon' Give It To Ya" 🤙🏼 (Had to say it lol)

Has to use that song, man used to blast that in my Mazda with my “sic JBL 6x9 speakers 😂

Beautiful board awesome review 🔥

[@KK-ol5ov]

That’s a beautiful board 🥰😊

[@TheEVside]

Great review great board

[@stephenhartley3292]

What a 'lovely' review and that stunning backdrop at the end❤ Not much about that board I don't like, maybe the forward/reverse switch could be in a better place?💯🔥

[@davidheath2427]

Now that looks like an awesome learner board . That will take a long time to out grow .

[@stephenjordanesk8]

Love my galaxy, not the fastest but very reliable especially for the price, I gave it to my brother and it's still going strong after 1600 miles

[@boneheadnumber1409]

If they went with the 40t it would have to be a 14s3p to keep the same range. Not sure about reliability but I think paired with the 14s configuration the 50s cells are fine.

[@SinCityEsk8]

14:41 BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@konaboyz1690]

However I come from the 70's era and it's f****** long gone

[@Oxydado]

Great follow up to the trailer. Thanks for the info. I have an old zealot that the battery has really declined on and would like to replace it with better cells but don’t know who to contact.

[@davidheath2427]

Ask Google. There are a lot of people and companies doing this now

[@Oxydado]

@@davidheath2427 thanks David

[@StevenFalzon]

Nice review as always Scotty, just a question about the customisation in the remote. Is there a function of changing wheel diameters and cogs and customising this in the remote settings so the speed and distance is still accurate? Looks like a cracker of a ride although I did notice some shimmy in the tail of the board a few times. Did you notice it too?

[@unQuestionable69]

It does have all of those features yes, I own this remote

[@evtechsteven]

amazing review as usual! How did you like hard braking on your X? mine was definitely slipping quite a bit.

[@gilmoregibson9184]

Tighten your belts! If they are still loose go a size down

[@gilmoregibson9184]

The tolerance can be off sometimes and you need to get a smaller belt than recommended. You can get belts from 3rd party companies also

[@unQuestionable69]

I have to adjust mine to around 50% braking power to avoid losing traction

[@asianboi3140]

Can handle those bumps on the bridge very well

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

As long as you prepare and lift your weight those 96mm wheels handle them fine

[@esk8unity]

[@ducanhnguyen5477]

Nice Video! When will you make a review about the Zealot S2?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

In about 2 weeks

[@ducanhnguyen5477]

@@scottdaviesyoutube How is the torque of the Zealot S2 in comparison to the Exway flex pro?

[@ion1q]

Hello guy from 4:20 😄

[@wowcolors]

With a RGB rim light this board would be perfect

[@konaboyz1690]

However he knows his tactical electronical jargon and I respect that a lot Surfing CPA Hawaii

[@judgegixxer]

There is no doubt they look cool. I wish I had that remote for the board I just got. The only thing I can read on mine is the speed. Anrything else requires me having to put reading glasses on.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Ah man the remote is beautiful The screen is like a HD TV 😂 But it’s the weight and shape that does it for me, The wheel sticks out and is so easy to feel and accelerate and stop

[@judgegixxer]

@@scottdaviesyoutube Yes, I can tell through the video that it is fantastic. How solid is it? Think it will survive a few wipeouts? Oh and hey man, thanks for your work with all these skate reviews. You were a big part in me purchasing an E-Board. Oh and I love it. No regrets. For the money it is the most fun thing I ever bought.. Probably going to hit the 300km mark tonight.

[@maxsuelusa2006YouTubeTv]

Tell me what you think about this one, because I was thinking about getting one but changed my mind over the Voyager X, pls tell me what one performance better. Thanks bro, all ways good to see your videos

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

If raw power is your goal you made the right decision. The voyager is a fantastic choice The backfire is a little more polished and has the glow but voyager wins the power and torque spec

[@ronnie5966]

Is it possible to charge the board while riding? Then you could extend the range by charging the board from a battery with 230 volt outlet in a backpack.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

From memory when you plug the board in to charge it disables the esc, so no unfortunately it wouldn’t work

[@QuantumAssassin]

That is a very good looking board but is a 14S2P enough for the range anxiety?

[@boneheadnumber1409]

50s has a higher capacity so it’s the same range as the meepo voyager

[@boottom]

Anyone seen the Backfire S2e on the website? What’s the go there?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

They have a lot of boards about to release I hadn’t seen the S2E unit now looks like amazing specs

[@esk8jaimes]

I'm genuinely gutted this wasn't a hub or direct-drive model, I'm all for the Tron lights but not a fan of belt-driven boards.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Man you love your hubs !! 😂

[@esk8jaimes]

@@scottdaviesyoutube #HubMotorPurist

[@FactsOverFeeings]

What is your favorite hub skateboard for 1200 or less? Im looking for something with at least 25 miles range

[@esk8jaimes]

@@FactsOverFeeings functionally, I'm more interested in range so the 10ah Verreal F1 Max for £450 is likely the most affordable considering its battery size, plus single enclosure for deck swaps. Only does 24mph though. Anything faster or with a larger battery is more expensive

[@esk8jaimes]

@@FactsOverFeeings it can be extremely difficult to be exact with range claims due to rider weight, speed mode used, and hill climbs on your route. Most range claims are done at slower speeds and with a 70kg rider on flat ground

[@ronnie5966]

Dou you have a discount code for this board?

[@gingerdude94]

When's the Nomad coming?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Soon about a week away Just waiting for the green light I think they wanted to have a large chunk ready to ship straight away

[@ronnie5966]

Going to test Zealot S2?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

“Apparently” hope to see one soon !

[@ronnie5966]

Its not 88A wheels. Its 80A.

[@fynfax4986]

Would you go with this or the Meepo voyager?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

100% Voyager

[@fynfax4986]

@@scottdaviesyoutube I hear alot of Bad stuff and complains about the Board but the general ride seems to be perfect. Im also thinking about buying the Tynee Explorer for 900€ but the Voyager is more stealth and doesnt Expose the Motors that much so I could actually ride it on the street

[@fynfax4986]

Sorry for all the questions but what do you think about the current direct drive boards are they any good?

[@Olla_FN]

Why dont you review any onsra Boards?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

They have never asked

[@phizicks]

remote went flat, because you left it on? mine turns itself off if not used. something wrong there mate.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Left the board on and on charge so it stayed connected 😂 Just a perfect storm Normally turns off auto after 5 minutes

[@phizicks]

I never turn my eovan on while charging, so not seen what happens if remote left on.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Wasn’t that I turned it on, I didn’t turn it off chucked on charge and I think the board kept a signal to the remote

[@shredtheegnarl4651]

You're lovely

[@OddNoble]

🤘🥳🛹

[@akalia_07]

I wish the enclosures were black as white one just makes it look triple ugly.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

They did White as it reacts with the light and adds additional “glow” I hated it as well until I saw it in person

[@konaboyz1690]

I hate to say this and I'm not necessarily correct but it just makes me f****** horrified watching People skateboard who do not surf their style makes me ill....😢
