Love the MATH hat! YangGang!

I'm just going to school but ur videos up so I had to watch

Thanks to this video i bought this board using your discount -Thanks Dkwan

Subbed. Just got my first esk8 board. You rock bro

Got Carbon GT today with cloud wheels. I tightened the bushings to nearly max. I'm 205lbs. Board is still maneuverable but not wobbly at all. Coming from Meepo V3, initial punch of speed is about the same with full 🔋. Meelo usually loses power due to battery sag, but carbon gt keeps going strong and does not lose speed much in hills. It carves better than meepo even after tightening bushings a lot. I'm so glad I got the carbon for $100 more. Looks amazing and the board is one piece.

Those cloud wheels remind me of the rough stuff wheels from slick revolution. I found those super unstable in any kind of damp conditions, where you could fishtail easily. Seems dry where you are, maybe this is only a UK problem ;-) In any case great detailed review as usual!

Nice review~

It’s about damn time🤘

Awesome review, as always. I ordered my Bamboo at 3 weeks ago and i am still waiting for it. They didn't have the cloudwheels back then. I reordered them immediately after having watched your video. :-)

Could you possibly make a video about hub moters and the best and affordable hub moter boards you've tried/own?

to achieve better braking at lower speed, you could change the belt ration but that would lower top speed, or get a higher torque motor, the 6380 or 6384 motor is best for braking

great video review and I love the objectivity!! finally and decent reviewer that tells it like it is. just curious - What happens when a cop catches ya? - do they take your board away?

@DanielKwan

4 жыл бұрын

I forget the exact rules here. I think if they treat the board as a PEV, they can take it away. But whenever I’ve been stopped, they’ve always treated it as a skateboard, which is a small fine.

It's the diameter of the wheel that makes the difference in top speeds and range. The longer the level arm, the more tangential force needs to be applied for rotation.

Bigger wheels will give higher top speed and less torque if compared to smaller wheels with same gear ratio. Higher the gear ratio the more torque and less top speed if kept with same size wheels. Hope this helps anyone wondering.

I think the top speed is increased on the smaller wheels because the big wheels have lots of squishy drag? If the larger AT wheels have more drag and friction (you can tell if they have worse freeroll characteristics), that added friction will reduce your top speed. I notice this on my ranger x2

@Daniel Kwan have you ever experienced the onboard bamboo AT temporarily cutting out when the battery is low?

Im sorry but have had a long day and im just trying to stay awake while watching this video i swear its not boring xD

Daniel you rock

So I swapped the AT wheels out for the Cloud wheels on my Carbon AT. In the process, I measured gear ratios & wheel sizes, and the Cloud wheels should have an 8% increase in speed over the AT wheels, but should have lost torque in the process. Why it feels like it accelerates faster to you, Daniel, I don't know. Larger wheels have a greater moment of inertia than smaller wheels (more mass further away from the axis of rotation), so for a given torque they will accelerate slower. Whether that effect is great enough to feel or not, I do not know. I haven't been able to get out to try the wheels for myself yet.

I sold my Backfire Ranger X1 because the ride felt a little too lumbering. The OW Bamboo with Cloud wheels really sounds like it hits the sweet spot! The one thing holding me back from buying another Ownboard is that I insist on having a display or app with ride info. That barebones remote might be acceptable for a ~$400 board but, as price scales up, so do expectations.

I picked up a bamboo AT to compare with my evolve bamboo GTR. So far I'm having technical issues with both! LOL As for the ownboard, I've had two bearings fall apart after a few days of riding. They're still pretty greasy so I don't know what the issue was. I did ride in the rain a lot with it. Anyways, I'd go grab a new set of bearings and change them but I can't get them out of the one piece metal tire hub... broken or otherwise. Same for the drive gear bearing. Any advice?

Ownboard gt or backfire x2 ???

Any word on higher end boards like the LaCroix or Bajaboards?

Ain't going to lie ownboard is pretty good, owned mine for over 2 years, still runs zero issues!

Which board is better for city, backfire ranger x2 or ownboard bamboo gt? :)

Looks like a good board - cloud wheels for commuting, AT wheels for weekend fun on dirt and gravel woodland trails, where you wouldn't want to hit the top speed anyway. The only issue is the price with import duty and VAT it's not that far from Evolve, and you still have to deal with Chinese support, so any broken part will take weeks to replace. Unless it goes on sale soon, there's no reason to buy it if you live in Europe.

Especially in Australia. I was looking at the Ownboard Carbon AT against the Evolve GTR Carbon; there was a sale that brought it's price down to about 1500 AUD vs the $2000 AUD of the GTR. I went with the GTR mainly because of customer support and accessibility to parts. Without the sale I believe the Ownboard is actually the same price as the GTR, before shipping or tax.

Daniel Kwan, if you could pick between this ownboard 2 in1 and the backfire ranger X2, which would you pick?

What kind of board was that you compared when talking about grip tape? 13:19

is it really necessary to unplug from charging immediately after it finishes? is there not a BMS to prevent overcharging?

I have an evolve carbon GTR. Would those cloud wheels just slap right on or would I need to swap a few things and if so what things would need to be replaced etc to get the set up working. Thanks I’m advance everyone

Serious question, how does it compare today? It now comes with an oled remote and comes with both wheels and pulleys for 1k. For 1k, is it worth it over its bigger brother the Zeus Pro, which is almost double the price for the 2 in 1 option?

I'd like to see how this compares to the Wowgo AT 2

Yea I hate the engraving on the bottom...if I decide to keep the board, I plan on vinyl wrapping the bottom and change the grip tape. But then your idea of just painting over it might be good enough. I’ll do that first. I think the braking might be ok for me as I’m much lighter.

Hey, daniel! Great vids, much appreciated. After much review, conversations, and research, i think this board will be my best bet (was between this, the Ranger X2, and the Raldey).

Without removing the motor pulley cover, the biggest size you can use is something like 99mm, and at that size you’re already at risk of getting wheel bite. Cloudwheels are 120mm so you’d need to remove those covers and add risers, but you’d need to cut the rear riser because of the cables that plug into the deck. I never tried this and don’t intend to. I prefer smaller wheels for this board.
