UPDATE March 31: Exway are making bigger pulleys for improved torque with Cloudwheels! The pulleys in this video are 34T. The new ones will be 44T. You can choose which size to use with your big wheels (smaller for more range, bigger for more torque). __________ If you don't have time to watch me flip-flop on how I feel about these wheels for 20 minutes, you can skip to [15:29] for my summary. Hope you're all well and helping to flatten that curve!

Welcome back Daniel good to see you healthy and safe😎🤙👌👍👍☝️👈💥

I have the same predicament with the ruff stuff wheels; great for riding over poorly paved ground but when it comes to full-on carving action, it is reduced due to elevated deck! Hence why I haven't purchased UK 'Foamies' equivalent..yet. Anyways, I've heard cloud wheels get better with age/use (soften up), so your next ride might feel even better! As always, great video Mr Kwan.

Hi Daniel I really love the vibe of your videos, the color grading you use couldn’t be more on point, I’m impress you are getting it from an Osmo Action. Just a super quick question (yes/no works), may I use these wheels with a Flex -Hub?. Btw I used your code to preorder my new Flex, really appreciated about that. All the Best

I was second guessing putting 97mm ABEC 11’s but not anymore. Thanks for your input!

with your video you convinced me, I ordered all today, skate and wheels now I just wait for you to arrive, greetings from Italy

"Not that bad" - Daniel Kwan. When you said "in the end", I half expected an "it doesn't even matter" pun. Good vid mate. 👌

Another option might be the torque boards 110mm 74a wheels if you’re not really on any dirt roads plus they have a cool icy blue look.

Great video thanks was hoping these wheels would fit that means my abec 11s should fit too. Now just have to wait for the preorders to come in. Thanks again

We need Daniel to make a review video of the Exway Flex with 105mm Cloudwheels!

Hey there Daniel, first off, great videos! You've definitely improved my knowledge of ESK8 boards! I had a question for you or your viewers... I have the Exway Flex and I watched this video awhile back and saw that you mentioned using the "Ride" app with the Exway board. I have not been able to connect the Ride app as it seems to only connect to my Boosted board. Did you do something special to get the Exway to connect to the ride app?

Subliminal message at 9:33, "Wash your hands". Haha nice. And great video! I really want a flex with cloud wheels. Are the newer pullies with more teath for more torque out? And where can i find them for sale??

welcome back!

Hopefully you come to NYC to ride with us one day. You'd do well out here.

Hi Dan, Was wondering how you connected the shred lights to the rear of the flex thank you.

Do cloud wheels also work on an x1 pro? And if so, do you have an affiliate link to purchase them thru u? (Edit: I see the affiliate link in videos description. Do you have a video with them on a x1 pro riot? Clearance issues?

I’ve never tried Cloudwheels on the X1 Pro because I’m pretty sure they’ll get wheel bite. 96mm on the X1 already bites if you make a sharp turn so pretty sure 120mm isn’t feasible unless you just ride straight.

Really nice informative video, thank you so much! May i know what camera did you used to shoot your rides on the street? 360 cam or action camera (gopro)? Stay safe

Perhaps, to compensate for the lack of braking/acceleration you could switch to bigger wheel pulleys (if they even fit)? It would then definitively eat up a lot more of range, but it would have the same performance. Those ABEC core pulleys should be easily findable, so switching to a bigger one shouldn't be that hard to find. Then you might also need to change the belt. But overall, nice content!

I've done this for a boosted board with 3d printable pulleys, if i can get my hands on a set of exway pulleys i can probably model a set up for that. It definitely helps with the torque, but you do need larger belts and a bit of extra work on fitment.

17:50 those people are at the longest traffic light ever. I'm about to put 120mm cloud wheels in my wowgo 3x. So this video is very relevant to me, almost spookily so. Classic DKWAN

ok thank you very much i have just seen the wowgo 3 x longboard from the data similar to the xway pro riot. The price is also quite similar. You have already tested both what would you miss more wowgo 3x or xwax pro (riot).

Always fun to watch passive cultural differences between countries. Things that go on behind the recording. I notice folks in China have no issue actively stopping and staring at what you're doing. Heck, even taking pictures of you when you were still and talking. Not something we'd see that often in the US. If so, the first thought would be the person might be a bit off. Thanks for the outline of your experience.

great review but I am curious if I am able to put the evolve all turain wheels on the exway flex

Nice music, nice review, how are the wheels after breaking in

FINALLY !! SOMETHING DANIEL : )

Hey Daniel, I got the X1 Riot + Cloudwheels and when I try to install the wheels, they don't go into the pulley fully so it left fewer space for me to screw back in the cap screw (I can only get half in, even without the tiny space ring) I tried hammering the wheel into the pulley more but it really doesn't work....have you come across that problem and how would you suggest to fix it? (or half the cap screw in is enough already?) Much appreciate you help! Best, Casper

I like the 80's music beat :)

I recently changed my boosted V2 into 120D. Breaking is scary slow now! Do u know if Cloud wheel offer bigger pulley to help with that?

You are so high up tho. Time for a drop down board for those biggies. You can have multiple boards man, love your videos.

I missed this originally. What is your opinion on how those cloudwheels handle wet conditions like if you hit a wet area on concrete or asphalt, especially in a somewhat sharp turn?

How did you get the shred lights on? Did you lift the grip tape then make holes for the screws?

Are there any belt drive guard/cover for the riot's setup?

Hey Daniel, did you have to remove the grip tape to install the shred lights on the Flex? I noticed that the grip tape is covering the bolts, which is why I asked. Thanks!

just fyi, the exway app records data, including range and total distance. I have the exway x1 pro, looking at getting either the riot kit or the flex just for the cloud wheels :D Thanks for the vid. I'll have to meditate on this decision some more.

To change the wheels, do you need the riot kit? Because the hub motors are in the wheels right?

Can we get a quick video or something about cloud wheels with X1 pro riot. I just got my cloud wheels and they don’t fit my X1 pro riot

Great vid

Will the hub be a lot slower compared with the new pulleys they are offering in the future? But, it would end up having lower range correct? I got the hub because it was quieter and on par comparison with the riot for performance. Did I make the wrong choice?

In 4:41 you say that you had to remove the belt covers. I'm thinking about buying the cloud wheels for the WowGo 3X. The discovery version of the wheels fits perfectly to the 3X's pulleys, but I'm worried that riding without belt covers can be somewhat dangerous because of possibility of some little stones or so could get under the belt. What's your take on that? Would you ever consider it a problem?

What kind of electric skateboard u recommend that has a mix of flexy & a stiff board

fucking awesome editing, way to go bro

What brand are the cloud wheels? On amazon there is iwonder, motion, slick revolution, and a few others. I have a evolve carbon GTR 32T street set up and I was wondering if the cloud wheels will slap right on regardless of brand or would I have to change my pulley and use different belt covers. Any help would be appreciated thanks everyone

The conclusion is there is no conclusion. lol I like your videos, bro. Pretty nice quality and great points brought. Keep in this way. Cheers.

At the beginning, the voltage is near top end so the regen is gonna be low. When you're at 50%, the brakes are gonna be stronger than when it's 95%.

I preordered the flex a couple weeks ago and seriously can’t wait until it’s released! I live on a fairly large campus which thankfully has (mostly) paved streets and sidewalks, however due to the virus I’m stuck at home in an urban city with fairly large cracks and not so smooth roads - What wheels would you guys recommend I get? Should I stay stock? Cloud wheels? I’ve used my Regular longboard with Kegels quite a bit and haven’t had toooo many issues (though the comfort isn’t 100%)

Can you mount the tail lights under the board?

Is it possible to change the gear ratio so it works better with the bigger wheels

They should make some cover after you change to tire

I love shredlights.

How did you put the mounts on the rear side?

I can't decide between the Ownboard W2 or the Flex :/ I wish the Flex held up to their claimed 20 mile range. Funny how the Ownboard claims around 15 or so but people are going way past that. Are the components used in the flex much higher quality? It certainly looks better than the W2 but it's such a damn hard decision.

Is this the best option if you just want a smooth ride?

I just got the xpro1 but at high speeds gets a little unstable and wobbly. Is there a way to make it a bit more stiffer at high speeds? I tried tightening down the bolts on the trucks but didn’t make a difference.

I list my video equipment in the description. For this one it was really simple, just DJI Osmo Action and a mic. As for that foam grip tape, just use a hair dryer to loosen the glue (may take a couple minutes or more) and lift the grip tape slowly. Try not to stretch it. Use a blade to cut the glue if it's not moving. It's a very slow process if you want to avoid deforming the grip tape. To put the light mounts on top, poke holes in the grip tape so that the screws can go through.
