  • Insta360 One X2, One R, Go 2 Reviews

    in

    Insta360 is having a sale at the moment (Aug 25 to Sep 6) so now’s a good time to share my thoughts about their cameras and hopefully help you decide which one(s) to get or not get. If you don’t know me, I make a bunch of videos about electric skateboards and frequently use Insta360…

  • Exway X1 Max Review

    in

    Below is a transcript of my video review of the Exway X1 Max electric skateboard. In a world where e-skaters want more range, more speed, more flex, more thrust, more girth, more gimmicks, Exway dares to release a board that’s more of the same – but better. What’s different about the X1 Max compared to…

  • B-One Carbon Hercules Hidden Mode

    in

    The B-One Carbon Hercules has a hidden speed mode that I didn’t mention in the review. But before I get to that, I need to correct a mistake: In the video I got confused about the ESC’s max current and said that it’s 50A. While the ESC hardware is rated for 50A, the ESC program…

  • Batterygate! Is it spreading?

    in

    Only a week ago, Exway issued an apology statement about how they handled the switch to lower capacity battery cells in two of their electric skateboard models. Yesterday it was WowGo’s turn. Who’s next? WowGo 3: 180Wh (previously 216Wh) WowGo 3X: 216Wh (previously 259Wh) WowGo AT2: 418Wh (previously 504Wh) Et tu, WowGo? According to a…

  • Evolve Skateboards makes desperate moves. Beginning of the end?

    in

    Evolve has applied for a patent in Australia claiming to have invented the electric skateboard. But obviously Evolve did not invent the electric skateboard. This post has been updated. New info added to the end. Gas-powered skateboards came on the market in the 1970s. Wireless electric skateboards came in the 1990s. Evolve was founded in…

  • Exway Batterygate

    in

    Exway is in hot waters for changing the batteries for the Exway Flex and Exway Wave electric skateboards without informing buyers ahead of time. What happened The Exway Flex and Wave had been out of stock for some time. I wasn’t following this closely so I don’t know how long, but I believe many had…

  • WowGo 2S Pro Review

    in

    Watch the video for my review of the budget-friendly WowGo 2S Pro electric skateboard. I’m just sharing additional info regarding the range test in this post. I did the test at night because lately the temperature outside has been too hot and muggy during the day (like 30+ ºC, humidity 90%). And because I did…

  • Onsra Black Carve 2 Review

    in

    Let’s just jump into it! Deck The deck is about 100cm long, which is 6cm longer than the original Onsra Black Carve. Compared to other boards in the same category, it’s one of the longer ones. The amount of room to stand felt comfortable for me (182 cm). The shape of the concave is quite…

  • Onsra Challenger Review

    in

    I have the direct drive version of the Onsra Challenger. I have a lot to say about it. Let’s begin with the deck. Deck This deck is 90cm long and – I’ll measure the width and update later. Feels pretty wide. Since it’s a deck with a kicktail and without wheel cutouts, the entire top…

  • Where to buy replacement belts for electric skateboards

    in

    Q:I’ve done a bit over 100 km on my board and one of the belts already has some punctures from small rocks. Is that even safe to ride now? And where can I buy replacement belts for less than the manufacturer’s website? You can get belts for electric skateboards from places like Amazon, eBay, AliExpress,…

  • Exway Atlas Review

    in

    The Exway Atlas Carbon gives us a peek into the future of consumer electric skateboards. It’s such a threat to the status quo that even the police couldn’t keep their hands off it. In previous videos, I showed you that the Atlas was created because of bigotry from a self-aggrandizing brand, and that it outperforms…

    Exway Atlas 4WD All‑Terrain Range Test

    in

    Recently I measured the range on my pre-production Exway Atlas in 4WD configuration with the stock all-terrain kit. I’ve already done range tests in the other stock configurations: 2WD with street wheels 2WD with all-terrain wheels 4WD with street wheels 4WD with all-terrain wheels This test was performed with the original 518 Wh battery with…
