Exway Flex review - A premium electric skateboard disguised as a budget board
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Exway's newest electric skateboard, the Exway Flex, is a game changer. This is the first time that Exway has released a new board at under $700. This is also their first board to use a flexy deck with two enclosures - which means Exway is going to compete head on with some of the most popular electric skateboard brands, including, of course, Boosted Boards.
⚠️ As of June 2021, Exway Flex's battery capacity has been reduced to 216Wh.

Jason Adihetty a lot of people are starting to feel that way. Even if they make some changes, there is no need to spend 2000 on a board for average users. Extreme users may need a 2-3000 dollar board but not everyday riders. Especially with board like Exway, Wowgo and Backfire especially Exway and Backfire they have good after sale services

For new viewers considering this board, I just wanted to mention that the Exway flex is now with 216Wh as mentioned on their website, but not 259Wh when dkwan made this video. That would means a range would be different and the BMS could probably be changed too. Just FYI since I am shopping as well.

Do you know if it would be a significant decrease in range? Im currently looking for my first board and was beginning to settle on this but if the change is that big of a deal i may consider looking elswhere

The improvements to your videos are amazing, this is definitely your best one yet!!!!!
Great videography, sound, structure of reviews, background information about e-skate, and inclusion of subjective and objective information (and stating when you are stating each). All in all, you earn a sub for life. Keep posting, I love your work!
I love your video reviews. I purchased Exway x1 Pro after watching your review and now I will order Exway Flex. Thank you! Exway became my favorite eboard company. Great affordible boards with amazing specs. Not overpriced like Boosted
Wow, this is fantastically edited! Super informative, very interesting, everything put forward really nicely. Fantastic work!
I pause the video at 5-8 seconds made it bag of popcorn because I know this is going to be informative and great as I was all comfortable with a bag of popcorn ready to be informed and then you said sit back and relax" holy s*** he's talkin to me" lol great job 👍👍👍
Thanks for this video! I've been waiting for a while to see what this board is all about. And I like the new editing style on this video!
SUPER QUALITY VIDEO! Thank you, really enjoyed
i almost bought a meepo board but just heard about exway from the subreddit r/electricskateboarding and also found your channel there. Your production quality is insane! Amazingly detailed video. I am most likely ordering the Exway Flex now
This review is so good, great job Daniel!!!
Bro can I just say your videos are the most polished I've seen on KZread. The amount of effort you put in is clear. Keep it up and stay safe dude. Also, exway is literally the best esk8 company. I commented on a post from one of their staff wondering if I fit cloud wheels on the flex and they replied instantly, and then messaged me with a $60 off code. It honestly makes me so happy that some companies are not faceless corporations just there to make a profit.
Keep up the amazing videos!! You have a serious talent for conveying your thoughts and opinions coupled with your editing skills. Looking forward to more uploads!
Dude you have to teach me edit like you, it's absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work!
Damn Daniel. I think this video is far up on my favourite Videos of yours. Really nice graphic designs, cuts, sound effects. This has a really high and premium production value.
I can’t wait until you review the Exway mini, that deck has a hell of a concave in it and it looks dope as hell both of them the flex and let mini are really dope looking! And I’ll be buying them both very soon
Thanks for the review!
Nice job Daniel! I've been waiting for this one!!!!
love the music and your humor;) and simplicity
As mentioned by other viewers as well, the quality of your video is constantly rising. Thanks for sharing.
That a good review... 😁 Thank for this great precision, hope range will be better
Just picked up my own exway flex can't wait for it to come in. Much love to the vids!!

Yo my friend this was an amazing video with all the bells and whistles to match. I'm definitely subscribing and I'm looking into getting one of these boards myself so thank you for the info
This looks dope, mate. Been searching for a descent e board that doesn't go over my budget and think I found one:)
You may have convinced me to buy a new board. It sounds perfect for me since I already have a mini-board.
Yoooo i have to give you a s/o my man. Your video is so professional with the edits and the highlight etc. You really sold the shit out of this board, I went looking for it online immediately and see if I can ship it to The Netherlands. Also your voice perfect. Other youtubers I’ve watched are ok, but your steady voice, clear pronunciation, scripted talking points make it easy to listen to. Respect 🖖🏽

I just bought my first electric skateboard today walking into a skate shop and came across this video IM IN LOVE WITH MINE. I’m almost 100kgs and this board goes up any hill with ease, 50% power is enough for me and the battery lasts a long time Anyone debating if this is the one - This is the best value for money a skateboard can buy I haven’t even watched this yet but check it out !
Haha I get the same look that the guy at 14:08 aaaaaaall the time....curiosity made in Shanghai 😁 great Review as always.
Prebuilt eboards have finally reached me requested level of price and quality. I have no complaints of any of those specs. Particularly the battery, that's quality cells and a very smart bms.
my first board was the x1 pro from indiegogo, and its so good to see exway making it to compete with the big boys like boosted
Utterly amazing video. Between the content, the tone, the photography, the editing... I mean you are hands down my reference to e- skating reviews. Great job my friend. Looking forward to your next ones! Also, what knee pads are you using?

Just cheap generic skating pads. I think there are the same ones on Amazon rebranded with different names.
So informative best eboar ding review . I’m getting a flex
This is going to be my 1st board! Will watch this video again and others to see if I should get the Belt or Hub varient
Precision washers? Those have been sold out for a while in other stores, I might pick some up if they're standard size :) Great review! You really covered everything :D
Very impressive video, the board looks fantastic
Great review. Now I want one. Stay safe.
Just got this board with riot kit for 20$ off using code DKWAN. This is deffinetly one of my top 10 channels and i am like subbed to 300 channels.
Great Video! Question: as you ride do you notice a reduction in top speed or acceleration? I know you mention a reduction in braking power when battery is less than full. I saw another review claiming boosted boards do not reduce performance even when battery is less than full.
I know this video is about 2 months old but after checking out all these videos about Exway Flex Riot and Exway as a whole, I decided to get Flex Riot but unfortunately... they got delayed to May. But waiting isn't an issue for me as I'm a casual rider and don't like going too fast and love commuting around city (getting to work with e-board). Thanks for your videos, Daniel. I cannot wait to get my hands on this. First thing I am going to do is get two sets of Orangatang wheels mix and match.
I hope they do unlock the increased acceleration. Need that torque not only for bigger riders or hills but for those who want to use bigger wheels :)
Editing was on another level this time
Great overview! Thoughts vs wowgo 3x?? 1.5amp charger for 4-5hr charge is a bit of a bummer. Ps you could probably do a video on how to edit videos!
Yes! Finally! Thank you
Nice , Detailed , Informative .Thanks :)
Dam finally! I been waiting for this vid
Daniel, backfire should have you advertise their board since they are a joke with those clowns. Love your videos and the amount a viewer and subscriber shows it. 👍👍👍
Wish to have any brand of Exway. Your amazing Sir.
very informative great vid thank you so much!
love your vids man!! your transitions and edits are top quality you where the person that got me into e-boards. Just a thought do you think you could do a review on the Meepo V3 i have tried to watch other people review the board but i trust your opinion more and and you give more detailed reviews could you just think about it since you did the review on the NLS Pro. really appreciate it daniel.
@DanielKwan
4 жыл бұрын
Since it uses the same ESC as the NLS, I don’t think it would get a positive review from me because of the less refined throttle and brakes (compared to Boosted and boards that use Hobbywing).

As alweys great video @Daniel Kwan ! Question is which board choose now? Exway Flex or Ownboard W2 with new remote?
Hi Daniel* , great review.. Thank You! I am looking to buy my first e~skate~board~* and first skateboard in over 30 years, haha.. all very exicting! I had a go on a freidns Meepo, and Evolve a few weeks ago, and that was it.. I was so inspired! I love the sound and look of the Exway Flex, I just want to cruze and carving and find my fun joy skating feet once again, with the amazing electric capabilities. There are some great reviews out there, like yours, which have inspired me to pay a little more, and get an awesome board like the Flex. Now I am just trying to decide between the Hub and the Riot. Ultimatley, I can start with one, and then add the other. For now, I would like a super smooth ride. People mention the noise of the Riot, and that it will need more maintanence, but it seems to soun pretty cool.. and looks like it has great torque and grip. Do you have any perspective you could share, on someone buying his first eboard, who is deciding between the Flex Hub and Riot. Big Thanks in advance. Christof*
yo man, I live in Changping too, you got a really nice spot to ride, hopefully meet somewhere on the ride. Respect.

Exway really doing well i jsut hope they put a bigger battery in their next board, 12-15miles range flat out is what most users want!
Please review the revel kit! I think it comes close to this in terms of value
Hey @Daniel Kwan, can you do a video on if the Exway motor (and other parts) is compatible with the Boosted Mini and V2!!!!? As EVERYONE is freaking out about replacement parts it would be a great video. Thanks

Well I was planning on buying the x1 pro as my first board, but the flex looks pretty dang nice 🤔

Love your videos, Daniel. I want my first electric skateboard and hesitating between X1 pro and flex. I really like the x1 pro's sleek look, but flex has a longer range, so these two are kinda even to me to decide. The x1 pro is now on sale, which I can get a hub and riot combo at a decent price. Do you still think flex is better considering the discounted price for X1 pro? BTW, I will only use it for the daily commute.
Hi Daniel, hopes your shining good and well! Big Thanks for this great video, all so inspiring!! It was one of the videos, along with Ronnie's, that helped inpsire me to go for the Exway Felx, it arrived laste week, and I am so loving it :0) Especially as it is my first skatebaord in over 30 years : ) and fist e~board : ) it's so much fun! ~ As the asphalt and tarmac on some of the seafront paths that I ride can be a little rough, I am feeling the new 105 cloudwheels could be ideal to help smoothen the ride : ) I am just wondering if you have any top tips, guidance info on the 105 cloud wheels, as it isn't very clear to me, whether I need to add the new pulley and belt, and if it's best with or without these etc.. Big Thanks in advance for any guidance on this, as I am hoping to get the right info, pre ordering the wheels.. Thanks!! Happy Skating : ) Chris
Awesome videos and very informative. I wish Exway was more straight forward like Backfire with shipping and sales. I put an order in 10 days ago and had to talk to a Reddit ambassador because my emails went unheard. I guess everyone is buying boards now that quarantine is over and they are sold out but they had a flash sale when they are sold out? Very weird just say sold out not pay an extra $80 for fast shipping when you have to wait 45 days anyways.
The only one i trust my skateboard buying decisions to!
Fantastic info overload. I have been looking at this board but out of stock : ( Copy from Exway Features: Max Speed 40km/h, Range 32km, IP55 Waterproof rating, 30% Hill Climbing, Weight 7.5kg, ExWay Trist 45 degree trucks, In the box - Electric Skateboard*1, Standard charger*1, .... Must have improved range. I prefer the type of cells in this board as i can replace.
Awesome vid!!
I'm really having a hard time deciding between the Exway Flex or Exway Pro. The positives and negatives on both boards kinda makes it even - think I'm going to end up with the Exway Pro. I just like that slim look. The extra range on that Flex though.... 🤔
Fantastic review! Looking at a used one and wondering if Exway's warranty is transferrable?
