I loved all the "di-ecks" .

This is the next level of editing! Not to mention how informative it was! Good job Daniel and thank you :)

Exway Trist trucks are 45°, not 50°! Sorry, messed up there! • If you're interested in any of these boards, I have discount info in the video description.

*Exway* : Fine tunable board for you're needs *Wowgo* : best carving commuter for cities *Backfire* : speed demons living on the edge

Thank you, Daniel! This is exactly the video I was waiting for, a month ago. Finally, we get a comparison & perspective on these boards from an Eskate expert. At the end of March, I was trying to decide between the Backfire Zealot & Exway Flex, a hard decision but thought the Flex was a little more polished + love the variety of wheels, 120mm cloud wheels + the ability for software updates. So pulled the trigger on the Flex-Riot pre-order in April for my first E-board.

Battery life accuracy is a huge deal. My backfire remote told me I had 2 out of 5 bars of battery left, and it just died on me on my way back home. Now I just keep it charged because I don't trust the battery indicator.

I'm searching for a Video Wowgo 3X vs Exway flex riot for weeks and now you just uploaded one. Thank GOD

Great video, you and Ronnie really making moves on YT.

I've been learning a lot more about the time and effort it takes to edit videos. Starting to appreciate your videos a lot more. QUALITY

Hey Daniel, thanks for the reviews! I’d love to see a review that compares the performance between these three a little more directly. Even though acceleration, speed, braking, uphill performance, etc. are all comparable as you said, would still be nice to see the boards to head-to-head in those performance categories. It’s like buying a car - will anyone actually notice that a BMW does 0-60 .2s faster than a Mercedes? Probably not. But do we want to see them drag race and know the times? Hell yeah.

Never skated a day in my life.This video made it really easy to choose the right board for me.I bought the Zealot.Thanks for the video and discount code!

I love how you're having fun with different intros

This is the exact video I've been searching for! Thanks for making this. Also, can you make a Exway X1 Pro vs Flex video comparison? Thanks.

I ordered a Flex Riot. Wheel options were a big seller for me and the smart battery. I won some wheels from your last give away so been wanting to try them out. As far as the shorter deck goes I think it will be fine for me clocking in at 5’1” 😆

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this quality & informative comparison of Exway Flex and its fair competitors. Thanks Daniel Kwan! Time to buy the Flex 👌🏻

Would love to see this comparison with the current gen boards. Voyer X vs. Flex Pro vs. Zealot S. Those boards are such a leap from the originals that I think it would be super helpful.

Good video. I was speaking with a few people about my Flex and the wires I am running 93a double barrel in the back. I don’t have any issues. But like you said lower durometers may be problematic. I can’t wait to learn more about the Zelaot. It’s stuck in customs😞😞😞 Pray for me.

This is an amazing vid the editing is sick and u just convinced me to buy a backfire zealot

At first the "dieck" annoyed me, then I got it. lmao Anyways, bought a Zealot! Let's see if I get the stickers or the board first haha

I love your videos, it’s obvious you put a lot of time making/editing, etc. thanks!👍

Love the vid very professional and informative. Can't believe you only have sub 20k subscribers. Keep up the content!

You make such incredible polished videos. I love these. Thanks for the in depth reviews.

Hey Daniel, according to Exway, the Flex bulk production has fixed the motor wires issue by increasing the riser pad thickness as well as a higher PU bushings! :)

thank you for this awesome review. I loved the editing. you deserve a lot more likes/views/subscriptions & you will get there! stoked to have ordered my first ever eBoard last week & I went with the Zealot! CANT WAIT!

Mmmmh Backfire boards

Awesome review! A really informative and well constructed video, great to watch!

Finally! What we have all been waiting for during this quarantine! Thank you dKwan!

I love my WowGo 3x. Next up for me is the Meepo 4WD Pro.

I just played the last second in reverse, it sounds like Loaded Tesseract, but if I read your lips it looks like Exway Flex.

I am now hooked on this channel you are a unique soul and great video maker cheers !!!

Happy I found your page, I'm learning so much!

Great vid dkwan. I have the nls pro. But now I realize hub motors are not nearly as good as belt drive. If I could go back I would definitely get the wowgo. I love carving, and don't even go over 20 mph.

Wow. Your videos are really informative. 🤯 I just decided to go for BackFire for my first board. Now I am stuck between G3 and Zealot. Only thing that is making me confused which one to pick is because of the belts being exposed.

Thanks for the review. I would like to add and stress the importance of after sales support for anyone considering these boards. I recently bought the Exway flex and there seems to be an issue with other buyers where the board throws a bms error and drops the battery % to 0 (a quick search online will provide hits). I’ve reached out to Exway support since the board is under warranty and have not had a good experience with them troubleshooting my issue. Since I have lost complete confidence in the board I have gone ahead and purchased the Zealot which should be arriving in a few weeks. From all other reviews and comments online I feel that going with Backfire to begin with would have been the best option due to their support. Once again thanks for the review and for the discount codes.

Videos are getting better and better. Happy esk8ing guys

The Backfire can take Cloud wheels as well and I believe they made a set of wheels in partnership with Cloudwheel for 105 mms.

the fact that he says dieck every time drives me up the wall XD

Just ordered the zealot with air shipping came out to $794 with your discount code! Super Freaking stoked!! hopefully it comes in the time it says (2 weeks)🙏🏽🙏🏽

Nice review. i have the wowgo 3x Im debating on the zelot or flex but now Im leaning towards more power like an Evolve or the new Wowgo AT2. decisions. btw, i kow your favorite is EXway.

Thank you for focusing trucks, aesthetics, and customer service 'cause not enough KZfaqrs do

When he says “Deck”, I just get Paul Rudd in Wanderlust 😂 - awesome video your my guy thanks for all your reviews

I somehow managed to find a brand new boosted mini x with blue caguamas on it for only 600 on facebook about a week before boosted went out of business. Needless to say, Iv'e been riding it 24/7 and I'm very happy with the purchase so far

lmao. epic intro. you're the effin man

To dumb it down if your going for a light commute from a place go wowgo if your going for a reliable and customizable board for tuning to your feel go exway flex if you got the money and if you're just a speed demon go backfire

Can’t figure which board to get. Backfire Zealot or Exway Flex!

That intro, Hooked!

Always a pleasure to see your explications, nice description, thank

Loved the video. Just made me more anxious while Im waiting on my Flex lol

Can they make a video about where you let the boards compete in the race? You know, like speed and acceleration and stuff

Thanks for telling me about all these amazing decks

I think the important feature is that ONLY Exway Flex provides IP55 making it the actually only one splash proof board, which is important for people living in rainy areas - IE, UK

Dude, your videos 😳🔥🔥🔥

I am a lifelong skater, surfer, snowboard. I am about 275-280 pounds. Which of the boards you have tested are best for large riders? I like the backfire but am afraid I may bottom it out.

Want same video for hub motor ! It would be much appreciated ! Nd by the way love ur videos always on point

Great and relevant review, glad you did not start your favorite. One thing about range is that hills is what killes batteries, you if you have no steep and long hills you will get the numbers you state.

your videos are mad bro keep up the good work👍🏽

Finally decided on a Flex after lots of deliberating, thanks for the discounts Daniel

Thanks Daniel for the great videos, Very informative! Only wish I would’ve seen them before I bought the Evolve GTR LOL! I bought the Ownboard carbon GT based on your review! Bought both before I heard about the Atlas. Do you any idea when the X Way wave might be available? Thank you again for production Quality!

I feel like there should be another category. "Cost of Maintenance". A lot of people are looking into budget boards because.. they are on a budget. The remote is easily loseable, the wheels can easily get chips and cuts if you go through a rough terrain a couple of times or have the luck to run over broken glass like i once did, the belts need changing, the motors might fail.. These things go for a lot of money and are relatively common to replace, but given their high price, it might mean that some people have to stop using their board for a month or two, just to be able to afford a spare controller, which might cost like.. 100$ which is a lot.

Great Video Daniel* , Thank~You!! Wow, more food for thought... haha.. I am so near to ordering the Exway Flex. Been trying to decide between the Hub & the Riot, as my starting option, to get me going as a new eskater, and new skater, as it's been years since I rode as a kid. Really like the sound of the carving of the Wowgo, and the slightly longer flatter board. However, feels like there is more scope and options with the Flex. Hopefully my feet will be happy on the slightly shorter board, with the angles and cuves. I am around the same weight, between 69/70 kilo depending on training days : ) Big Thanks!!

Very helpful review thanks!

I'm going with the g3 to compliment my meepo mini. Soo much value at that price point. Either that or the zealot if it becomes available soon...not springing for the S.

I have a boosted board V2. So sad it broke and the company is out of business for good. Now, I need desperately a e-board replacement! But after years with a boosted board Im picky. Need the same inicial acceleration , speed, breaks response and smoothness and of course the bamboo flexible deck. HELP!

I'm 235lbs longtime snowboarder surfer and skateboarder.out of these 3.which best fits me??? Just want to cruise my boardwalk and carve

THANKK YOUUU. Definitely buying one for college.

I'm leaning towards the Exway X1 Pro Riot Exway Flex Blackfire Zealot What do you guys think? Having a hard time >.

Nice Video thanks, the main reason I won't go for Backfire is that they charge 100USD more to ship to Canada :(

"loaded tesseract" backwards at the very end

Just ordered the exway flex, great video..

why aren't you saying anything about Exway battery problem they have?

The Video that i was waiting for

Is one of them noticeably louder than the others

Okay, sorry for the dumb question as I'm a total 40+ year old e-board noob... but I've been eyeballing the Backfire Zealot and it's obviously belt driven. I don't see replacement belts on their site? I'm also looking at the Meepo NLS Pro. Undecided at this point. Help!

Ex-Flex is the best bcs of the smart battery .... the only problem I have with eboards is that I always break battery bcs I literally don't care when I don't use it.. (winter times) ... also is in the middle of everything else which means the best for me... thx Dan

interesting video your video quality increases with every video!

Exway will soon be available in the U.K. with U.K. support. Great review!

My Backfire G2T battery died after only 500km.. 😥

we need the 2021 version XD

Daniel, I just used your affiliate code to buy cloudwheeles so thank you! I was wondering if I could swap my Zealot wheeles for Wowgo wheels? Will the belts need to be changed or will it fit?

Can you use the exway kegel pulleys on the backfire? Their belts should be very similar Nice comparison btw, just ordered my backfire zealot last week and hope it arrives soon (:

I love how u say "deck", DYECK

Every company: 2015-2019: "oMg BoOsTeD kIlLer" 2020: Boosted alternatives *wink*

Still the best reviews! Also....di-eck.

I get the potential benefits of having an app with firmware update capability, and customization, but honestly, one of the reasons I went with my Wowgo 3 was because it didn't have that. I want my board to be good, out of the box. I don't want to be tinkering and obsessing over if I made something worse or better, I just want care free riding, on a board I know will work and stay relatively consistent. I had a onewheel which was constantly having updates implemented, and it regularly changed my ride characteristics...I found this very frustrating, and it has made me weary of ever having a bored that can go through after market changes without my knowledge. Just look at what is happening with everyone still using the Boosted app...

Wait why Didn't you make an independent review for the zealot?

Verreal rs?? What opinions?

Very nice comparison!

Awesome stuff! Great info

Awesome video, great work and lessons learned to make the best purchase decision. If I may suggest something for the future, a video about fine tuning the Exway Flex via its app would be greatly appreciated. Please like this comment if you love the idea and to help Daniel. All the best.

FYI Exway have partnered with slick revelution in the UK to off service support.

Already know what board I'm buying but I can't stop watching your videos! Quick question; can you power off the board on the Exway Flex mid-ride? It be nice to go switch between on and off while I'm riding.

My aftersales with Wowgo was trash, took 3 months to get a replacement battery for my wowgo3x + 99USD, either though it had a faulty BMS out of the box. I was 1 week off filing a refund through paypal.

Nice dieck

What are the headlights called that you put on your backfire zealot?

I hope Exway sponsors another road trip. I'm enjoying the road trip videos to Thailand and China right now.

I don’t know if this is true or not but people say that on the exway the motor starts to overheat when it’s at 50% battery Is this true?

Buying a board this Thursday still having trouble deciding

Great video, as always. Will we see a dedicated Zealot review still?

yo wtf ?! xD the ending
