  • 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…

    in

    A wheel flew off during this range test LOL! I felt the back veer to one side, skidded a bit, couldn’t control the board and ran off. I didn’t even know a wheel had come off until I looked back at the board. Found all the pieces except for the nut and speedring. It was…

    Exway Atlas 2WD 90mm Range Test

    in

    I actually completed a range test on Exway Atlas 2WD with street wheels (90mm, 36T pulleys) two weeks ago. Just didn’t get around to writing about it so here goes. Remember, lots of things affect range so please read through the ride conditions. This post isn’t a full review. This is only covering the range…

    in

    Q: As a 41-year-old guy with zero boarding experience I’m hoping you can give me some advice for myself as well as the board itself. A: Here are some steps I suggest for a complete beginner: Get a helmet that fits well. If you buy online, check the return policy in case it doesn’t fit…

  • Police confiscated my Exway Atlas

    in

    Shanghai – and possibly all of China – doesn’t allow personal electric vehicles to be used on public roads, and not even sidewalks. The enforcement of that rule varies a lot. Sometimes the traffic cops ignore me, sometimes I get a warning, sometimes I get fined. Yesterday was the first time they took away the…

  • Quick thoughts on Exway Atlas 2WD

    in

    I recently got the pre-production Exway Atlas back from Exway after they installed the bigger final motors and changed a couple other things.
