WoW ! This is a MONSTER ! The battery 🔋 on the top of the deck is the way for a true off road experience !

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea it’s a beautiful board and the team offer fantastic service as well !

[@CraigTaylorYT]

Sensational video and great review mate. Be careful, the dirt is addictive. Can’t wait to see more on this one.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea man it’s so much fun getting lost in the bush ! Especially when you have a 14S5p battery 😂

[@Esk8Nomad]

Great review can’t believe it’s a first gear drive

[@wandagoner4449]

Spectacular review! Vince at Full Send ALWAYS hooks me up with the best kit, fast service too! keep it up

[@esk8news816]

100. Vice always gives out bogan discounts, nice shout out

[@benlay750]

it will be interesting to see how you go with MBS bindings. Your foot position is the same as mine with both feet pointing forward (I mostly ride onewheels). Mountain boarders seem to ride with the rear foot pointing back. Another interesting option is freeboard S2 bindings. It would be interesting to see a review of the freeboard S2 bindings on a 2 in 1 board. Cheers

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea I’m a little worried. 😂 I love to have my feet free and not locked down. Guess we will see

[@macncheez1212]

I hate how boards are improving and becoming better looking like this, my wallet won't be able to keep up :D I love drop decks. But I hate the battery in the middle not that it interferes but its there and in some of my foots work space in a sense. I really want a gear setup. I love their enthusiasm but even my RC car with similar gears wear down. Very cool review. I'm okay without bindings, I rarely make jumps or go off road to the degree that I'd need it.

[@alastairminty]

Those close ups really show the attention to detail well. These wheels are still some of the nicest looking ones around from my point of view. Look forward to hearing your feedback once you get the bindings on it. I am really impressed with difference bindings make to my Propel.

[@popwar613]

Really excited to hear what a DIYer opinion on this. I can't imagine you'll be able to build something this good for the same price. A similar setup DIY I was researching was pushing $4k

[@ajplant96]

Best way to beat that price is to use lipos in a pelican case, you can build a mountainboard fairly cheap compared to other builds

[@ajplant96]

Jesus prebuilt companies are going all out on the motor wattage claims, I doubt entirely that those are even rated for 12000w. Just realised their geardrive looks inspired by Lacroix also as well as their esc enclosure being inspired by Newbee Esk8. Edit: Awesome to hear you'll be reviewing a Hellcat soon, FSE make some seriously high quality stuff.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

The team at FSE are awesome love how they support and work with the community

[@chobofo]

Another great review video! Board looks and performs very well, glad to see a new esk8 competitor in the game to force others to up their quality and value. This board would be at the top of my list if I were to get another board around the $2k mark.

[@jb_terahertz]

More content about this board please 🙌

[@MarkHybridZ]

Hey man. Really enjoyed this video. I can’t wait to see the next one with the bindings on bro. 👊🏽🤙🏽

[@johanandersson3952]

Reason for the plastic gear along with metal drive gear is to lower noise. I do not think it will wear out either.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I really hope so, they are super confident and have 1000s of miles to give them assurance.

[@ByronETAWheels]

For future videos, there is a free program called Dioptra that can accurately estimate the angle and grade of hills. It makes a handy reference to test manufacturers claims. Once my Ace deck arrives, I'm planning on using it for my review also. Very nice review 🤙

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea I also use iGradant; There aren’t many inclined around here above 30% but I’ll go to the steepest street in Brisbane, it’s that steep that it looks like a wall not a road 😂 Wish me luck 🍀

[@ByronETAWheels]

@@scottdaviesyoutube good luck. I'm planning on running mine down the skyline trail here on Maui. Super glad I have insurance now 😂 Good luck! I look forward to seeing it.

Nice board and riding area. 😎

[@michaelivory5647]

Hey Scott, great first review and ride footage! Is this your first time with the channel trucks? How do you think they compare to other "AT" boards.....and how do you think it rates for all terrain riding compared to the Endeavor? Cheers Mike

[@johnglover4318]

Hello Scott, i am interested in the new Ultra model from Meepo especially Bamboo and gear drive version. Hope you will be able to test and give us a lot of information on those in the future. Also hope they will be able to use bigger street wheels as well. Cheers

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Mate, it is in transit to me as we type

[@johnglover4318]

[@sharky1854]

another good review just as i aspected

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thank you mate, thanks for the ongoing support !!!

[@benlay750]

It would be interesting to see if the geardrives can handle 9" tires and also what the top speed is like with 6" slicks.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Yea I’m going to get my hands on some Trampa 9” to test !! Ohh and I have som3 6” slicks that should work

[@nathancordova4618]

Oi thx Scott, I enjoyed your review! After the weeks do you still recommend this board? Also which do you like better, this or the X1?

[@brentspaulding9990]

Hello Scott. Thank you for the amazing review. I had a question. You mentioned that this board is compatible with the lacroix hypertruck bushings. Is that true? I contacted acedeck and asked them and they said their engineers had never tried them before. I just wanted to see what your opinion was on this subject. Thank you.

[@WolfSGB]

Do you know if a Davega X can work with this board? Cheers

[@jessejamesb]

ATV only. I could not use something like this as my daily driver with that big box between my feet - Not enough room to have my feet straight, something I do sometimes to keep them from tiring. Or quick body varial to switch .. or dancing if one's into it. Can you sit/stand on the power box? I actually love butt boarding on my zeus. It's even better when I sit on my street skateboard on top of the eskate (in a bag so it doesn't move) for double kingpin action.

[@davidheath2427]

What a beautiful place to ride . Haven't heard of it before. Great review of the board . Looks like a more than I could handle .LOL . Could you please write the name of that park down for me thanks.

20KG e-board! Dayum! 🏋‍♂️

[@andrewf5276]

Looks amazing…but how long do they last ? How strong is the back axle ? For all those jumps ..once bindings are fitted the thread on the axles strong enough for constantly changing the hubs /tyres bearings etc fits the little things that can ruin a ride … once you put bindings on does it become a mountainboard..i bet its a monster to carry……

[@Dutch800]

Hey Scott, the Queensland government just introduced new laws in regards to e-scooters. Police can now fine you for speeding or not wearing a helmet. I’m not sure if electric skate boards are included in these new laws. I hope not.

[@user-mo3qj4km7c]

Do you think that wheel will fit on the mbs pulley? I would definitely love to change my fuxmotion at2 wheels to those 😃

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

I’m going to get my hands on some and test in the next few weeks

[@claytonfarvolden8117]

Yeah just wanna get those gearboxes a little higher planning on buying one by the end of the month

[@Eric-wj8ds]

The diameter of this shaft is 12mm, you may need to fit bearings. Since the wheels are so good, it is suggested that you can use different tires, I think this is more reasonable.

[@maitredanceshow1275]

Is it waterproof?

[@Catamount19]

Stop it.. Christmas time is coming up, lol. How to justify a new board.... Great review as always.

[@lordirek1]

Well it seems pretty awesome, but it ought to be for $2500. I'm not sure I believe the claim on those plastic gears though. Plastic isn't a great wear material, especially against weight and power. Still, seems like a beast and a half, tons of power and battery to go along with it

[@ajplant96]

I feel like it not coming with bindings standard may have something to do with the lifespan of the plastic gears in their testing, mountainboards regularly are used for jumping so I’d imagine the claim holds less truth if you were testing that as well. Gear drives are starting to include polyurethane reinforcement in some designs to strengthen them in regards to landing impacts.

[@Eric-wj8ds]

Accurately, this is a POM material, which is often used in engineering structures or mechanical gears because of its good mechanical properties and self-lubricating properties. The driving gear of Z1 is made of metal steel, and the driven gear is made of POM. In addition, the lack of standard Binding is mainly to consider that not all consumers have needs. It has nothing to do with the gear material I think.

[@iamalavalamp]

is there an IP rating?

[@Mikenopolis]

Looks like it's been two months since this was posted. What's the ETA on the update video? scrapped of still TBD?

Thank you. And it’s was great to give the guys at Full send a shout out. They’re great guys. I ordered a NYX a couple of weeks ago and you have my mouth watering. Thanks again

[@user-nh5nj2lf7g]

Hi, what is the maximum distance you got on this tour? and how much battery is left. I'm 65kg, do you think I can get how many km with this? overall, is this the best you've tried? i am brazilian and i want to buy the best of all, because it will cost me a lot because i have to pay high import tax, so i want to buy the best of all. zeus pro, meepo H, eovam gts pro and among others, will this NYX Z-1 be the best? battery, speed and all. Thanks..

[@Eric-wj8ds]

The battery is packaged in 14S5P, and the cell is a Molicel P42A, which is probably the highest level of production cell. Depending on your weight, you should be able to go over 70km. As for the import or logistics problems in your country, I think the official staff should be able to give you the answer. All you have to do is visit their website, which has livechat's communication methods.

[@torpong44]

How does it compare to the Propel X4S?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

More power for sure like alot more Little less ground clearance A lot easier to get in the car 🚗

[@certifiedalchemist]

Like the idea about the DIY guys input.

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

Thanks, it’s better to get an actual expert especially for this type of board !! I can tell how it feels but I went to know the technical reason as well

[@fred4794]

Is it even more bulky and heavy than the Propel Endeavor Pro ?

[@scottdaviesyoutube]

It’s about 1kg heavier but feels a lot easier to move around and life up, I guess not having all that suspension makes it feel smaller

[@adamsimonow]

How do you rate Nyx versus Propel Endeavor Pro?

[@user-sn9od2cy4v]

Not really sure about that huge Z letter on the battery pack. If i rode it here in Ukraine I would definetly get arrested

[@JasonC683]

cant u just say its an N?

@@JasonC683 It looks like a very wide N, Z is also on the front truck plate and it doesn look like N at all. Its basically like putting a Swastika

[@yveslauwereyns6677]

The board is called the z-1…

Yea man, I understand your hesitation especially with where you live, all i can say is, the name was locked in like 12 months ago, I guess a piece of vinyl wrap could cover it ? I’ll pass on the info about the Z (I didn’t even know I had to google it) Cheer Scott
