@songsyluc street wheels are so slippy aren't they!

Haha hooked us in the start and delivered at the end with that fall, you're a great storyteller on top of being a reviewer 🤙

Thanks I appreciate that. I'm trying to make the videos a bit tighter and also give people a reason to watch other than being interested in buying whatever I'm reviewing 👍👍

⚡ *Loved the cold openin!* ⚡😂 Storage and fun is a big reason to get an eBoard rather than an eBike. I reckon people try different PEVs for a while then see what they personally prefer. Some like all of them, some mainly stick to one type. Amazin how good the budget priced boards are now, back in 2017 when I started, budget boards were ok, good fun but not as good as what we have now for the same price. It's just unreal to now be able to get such a good quality belt drive board for that price. My first board in 2017 was a single belt drive cruiser that went max 15mph, then hub drive became popular at the budget end, now it's comin full circle. You're mad ridin on wet ground though 😂 I used to, not anymore lol. Omg my remote has two buttons and a lot of times I press the wrong one too 😂 That freeze frame, rewind edit 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼 If I saw the board slippin on wet ground, without watchin the whole video, I would have said brakin on wet ground made it spin out. But havin heard you talk about the issue with one motor, and that you were goin downhill, it's possible the motor/esc just had a weird freakout, I see it "tweaking" a bit just before the slip. Awesome video! Defo one of my favourites you've done 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. I agree about the fall. That little jerk beforehand was weird. I shoulda just gone way slower tbh. It felt good going up the hill though. I was able to keep full throttle unlike the flex pro. Cleaned the board up this morning. Orange wheels going back on 😂😂

Bostin!!! Been eyeing up this board for a long time, hope Santa's got me this year 😅 great review and great save at the end!!!

Thanks! I'm so impressed. Worth getting even if just as a fun toy.

I have no interest in an Esk8 tbh, but great video mate. Defo a cut above the usual tat in my feed! Loved your "lap times". Very useful for those who do wanna buy. Ngl, just curious as to whether my Cube Ebike would perform like your Ebike did up the hill! That kinda astonished me tbh, wondering about your gear selection and power choice now 😂

@e-VRC

9 ай бұрын

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. The Cube could potentially do a lot better - decent torque but you could also change gears on the fly - low gear take off, higher gears to build speed, gradually drop down as it gets steeper. On the hub drive bike i rode, gears don't make a difference as it directly drives the back wheel. I did use a mid drive bike up there on one occasion, but I was so used to doing it with hubs I didn't even think about the gears until later 🤦

Tynee offer a belt drive Ultra for that sort of money. I bought one then added the off-road kit with 150mm pneumatic tyres. It is a great way to hurt yourself as a middle aged man though...

Same. I'm putting them back on and using it as a street board

If it looks like rain don't take the board . They are not 100% water proof. And even the rubber wheels will slip with a little water. The boards are mostly ply wood and don't like to be soaked either. But they are the best fun pre mile you will ever have .

Hey! Thanks for the review... I have a question though; at 4:31 you show the wheel off the board... it looks like the rim where it meets the bearing is cracked! It might just be extra lubricant, but it looks SUS 2 me.

@@e-VRC I wasn’t a fan of their customer service, but we’ve come to an understanding now and they’ve stepped up to the plate. I have over 3000 followers on my Engwe Facebook pages so it was a lot of pressure on them to resolve some safety issues … like you, one of them is the mechanical brakes issue, they should be upping the price point and making sure that everyone gets a bike with hydraulic brakes as standard. That was one of a few issues. I have three Engwe’s, the Pro, the X and the M20. Anyway, I have this, 48v 750w hub motor and 52v 1500w Bafang mid drive which I’ve ironed out all the kinks now, added an Eggrider to reprogram, I’ve had nearly 40mph out of it on the flat by throttles alone and nearer 50mph down hill. All the suspension has been swapped out, it’s a fun bit of kit. I really need to do a video update … anyway, here’s an initial test ride, once I’d updated the settings it’s happy to do 30mph up a decent hill with a 250lb rider. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n22MlrqtpNiWh6Q.htmlsi=oYStO-b2DZjWYpti

​@ModProjects4306 there are E boards that can match those stat's. And some of them are straight up production boards that cost around $1500 us at this moment try Acedeck or propulsion. Way more fun than a bike

I tried an electric skateboard unfortunately I cant ride a skateboard. Hurt my ankle. I can ride a bike pretty proficiently so I'll just deal with the price difference.

Why are "e scooters frowned upon"?

@e-VRC

Because it's widely known that they're illegal on the roads. Nothing to do with their form factor.

Tried again over $300 to ship to uk!!!. I feel your doing a disservice to your uk viewers byvnot highlighting this. Your$400 escooter is now 700

I just tried and it comes up $200 to ship from china. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case at the time of review but yeah it makes the current price $649 which though not overpriced is way more than I'm saying it is. Really annoying, a lot of the chinese companies seem to be having difficulties delivering to the uk at the moment.

That's fair. Although if you're going 15 and scanning the road it's a good speed to avoid everything. A lot of esk8ers are really safe as they're hyper aware of everything. I won't argue too much though since I seem to fall off in all my esk8 vids 😂😂

I'll stick with my ebike 😅🤣. I spent £1500 building mine 2000w peak power with upgrade potential still. The motor can take a hell of a pot more power than im currently sending to it so in the future i will upgrade to 72v controller and battery.
