So fun! I'm 58 and I just have to try every single one of these toys! I have an electric mountain bike, two electric unicycle's, a killer hyper scooter, and now I just bought this one, the GT. Can't wait! It comes in a couple of days. Thanks for the fun video!

I'm 57 and a life long skater, surfer, snowboarder and also mountain biker. I've been riding electric bicycles since 2010 and switch to electric mountain in Jan 2018 and have never looked back! I also have been riding esk8's since 2018 as well and is my favorite sport now. Such a blast!

@@benriding8678 Nice! Thanks! I totally love the variety and I'm definitely looking forward to the Eskate. And people who say you're are cheating on an electric mountain bike have no idea what they're talking about! I'm still getting a major work out, I'm just going a hell of a lot faster and I'm having a hell of a great time doing it! We just did a ride that was 40 miles long and had about 5000 feet of elevation gain and we did it in under three hours and I was so damn stoked I want to get up and do it again tomorrow! 💪

@@user-ke9yk5qp3u yea they have zero clue what they're talking about and if we were racing then yes. We're just having more fun, riding longer and further. No one can keep up with me by a long shot because I chipped my Specialized Turbo Levo Expert and can reach 55mph!

@@benriding8678 Nice! Super cool. I have a turbo levo comp and I built it into an expert. (Close) I built my own wheels from scratch, Onyx Vesper hubs with custom anodized colors and ceramic coated bearings, full XTR brakes and drivetrain, rotors upgraded to 220 mm Hope floating disc, front and back, Vorsprung smash pot suspension upfront and push 11 six rear coil, and my bike is delimited too! I'm using Levociraptor and the Blevo app. The thing is so damn beautiful I park it in the living room! 😂😂😂😂 I ran into some kids that were in their early 20s and they said they were into mountain bike racing but they like to ride turbo levo's for pleasure, I said have a nice day and then took off pulling a beautifully long wheelie. They immediately went into chase mode. But I'm still in really good shape and of course my bike was delimited so I left those guys in the dust. Or so I thought. Literally 30 minutes later I'm going up this super long grade that gains probably 2500 feet of elevation and I look back And I go oh damn those suckers are still chasing me! I gave it everything I had but they eventually caught me at the top of the hill. When we got to the top of the hill we all stopped to say hi and chat and they immediately said: "dude! You delimited that bike"! I was totally laughing! They said they were completely befuddled how this old guy was completely smoking their ass! They were super nice guys, so much fun! Take care!

I’ll be 48 in May and lifelong rider of anything plank. I bought my first ESK8 back in the boosted stealth days and only rid it maybe 5 times. Last year my kids showed interest in ESK8 and it’s my favorite thing to do. I’m an Mboards guy but my boys ride Propel Pivot GT, End2Pro and soon to hAve the Ruckus after ESK8Con!! Love your videos bud 🤙🤙

Nice riding! Are speed wobbles a thing with this suspension. Ive got a meepo v3 and at that 28Mph i can feel them creeping in. Dont want to spend 2000 on a board i cant fully utilize. Same better worse? Please let me know 🙏
@benriding86784 ай бұрын
I've been riding since 2018 many different boards and only experienced one speed wobble. The way to avoid them on any board is to never ride perfectly straight without having pressure on either side. Just like snowboarding you must always have pressure on either heel or toe side constantly. If you don't the board will develop speed wobbles. I bet everytime you experience a speed wobble your going straight and notice that it never happens while carving. So even if your not doing deep carves and cruising straight continue applying even slight pressure from heel to toe and no matter what board your on you can avoid speed wobbles. Hope that helps and yes the Pro2 suspension board is one of my favorites. I never ride off road but the suspension absorbs all the bumps, the most comfortable board I've ridden and provides less foot fatigue so you can ride longer. I would and do highly recommend the Propel Pro2 and the company has great customer service!

🎉 dude.. thank you for that. That's just what I was hoping to hear. (And more) you look like you're having a blast out there. They seem to have a pretty good sale right now? I hope to bring one of these home soon. One way or another used or new.

My M24 Pro, the front left tyre, is locked. What cost this? Do I need new motor or wheel. Please help
@benriding86783 ай бұрын
Not sure, I'm not familiar with your board. If you have four motors then I would guess yes that one motor is bad but not sure.

I own a 1 yr old Propel Endeavor 2 Pro, too! Just curious, what's your weight and what's the max range every time you get? I weigh 200 lb and can only get 20 miles of range! That is not good and is definitely what they advertised on their website!!
