Congratulations..you doing the most positive and inspirational on a non traditional subject. The lights and locs are looking good. Thanks for all the work and research you share. I'm still figuring out my beastboard its been great..Bless you my guy.
My man. Glad the beast board is still holding up. Really fun good starter board. Thanks for all the support man. Just trying to have fun and make a little bit of a difference. Good to hear from you.

This video giving me major buyer's remorse. I JUST bought the Zealot S because I didn't want to wait until the 24th for shipping on the S2 . I should have paid the extra $200 and just waited😔
This is such an Amazing video not just because of the board but I can tell you put a good amount of effort. The video came out amazing. I hope your channel continues to grow !
Great review! I have the 2020 Zealot S2 and still today it’s my favourite board. I’ve put over 5000 km on this board and it still rides like it was new. The new version looks amazing and if I didn’t have my 2020 I would be all over it.
My man...what an excellent review...Thank You... and my congratulations on your Expanse into the Documentary Field that includes us...and your excellent parenting skills that include a book authored by you and your son....Outstanding.....I came to your channel looking for a review on skateboards and walked away with so much more...Thank You and Best WISHES.....
Bruh you and Backfire have come a long way!!! Videos and boards both leaps and bounds over what they were. I love it! Are you going to review the Zealot X ?? @Backfire. We need a Zealot X review!
Great question. @backfireboards let’s make it happen. Maybe shoot them an email and request it. I may tell them people want to see it a lot of people have asked. Thanks for stoping by.
I love my Shuffle but i didnt get the ER and regretted that ,i really want the voyager for the torque and range, but Im kinda falling in love with this board..put some shred lights on the front ..I'm sold.

Great review! Always gets me intrregued when you talk about a Backfire product. Do you have a link for that backpack or lighting system? I've been doing more night runs and I feel that my rear lighting situation could be better.
I have seen pictures of the trucks snapping on this board and really want to get it but dont want to die lol would you still recommend it for someone a lil heavier in the 230's ?
I have the zealot x and I love it so much that I've been riding it everyday so far. The main thing I look for is range and portability which the X delivers that.
Yep I am with you. It seems like boards are starting to get larger and heavier. It’s good to have a good board with this form factor. What you like most about the X?
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I love the premium feel. SF has lots of hills and I felt it makes more sense to get X. These boards are the future with LEDs.
⚡ *Review game strong as ever!* ⚡ S2 looks better than the X for me, wish they offered the S2 in the larger battery size of the X 😂 Congrats on the docu man, great to have you back though 🤙🏼🤙🏼 I love the light mode options, people can choose the mode they prefer, rather than just off or on. I like that the new remotes from brands have a lot of customisability via the remote rather than just an app. Yeaah it's nice to have a board you can still throw around yet has a great size battery. Agree about bash guards.
I like the purple more too. It pops so hard. Would love to see a purple X. Yes I am really excited about the documentary. Always good to hear from you.
badass board. amazing vid. edits, music and shots. and congrats to your documentary. solid backfire fan. btw where you bought that purple strap around you?
Hey MrPillipsTheChangeAgent, FYI, If want to protected the board with a clear bash guard. Try getting a clear rubber hose about 6" long. And then cut it down the center to slip over the board. DONE!
Just got my board today and love it my only question for the comment section is how do you deal with clearance for the motor mounts as they sit fairly low any tips or recommendations
Your first video I watched was the Exway Flex & noticed you liked it. Now, we are about the same weight & I'm just getting into skating. I'd need some advice before I blow my hard earned money on something that would let me down. Could you recommend an electric skate board that could give me decent speed but good mileage in the budget to midrange level? I'd be riding mostly on paved roads and maybe eventually stick bigger wheels on for some light offroad someday in the future. 230 ish lbs 6"3. Do you still like the Exway Flex? or you have something still in the same price range but better? I'm stuck between this and Tynee Ultra X with the hydro 105mm wheels & of course the old Esway Flex.
Thanks for the review. Isn't 23 lbs heavy when compared to Exway Flex ER and Wowgo Pioneer X4? Zealot S2 is almost 1.5-2 kg heavier and I would call it a downside.
It depends. Also have to take into account other factors like range, the lights, material of deck….. depends on what’s most important to you. A pound or lees to me in terms of boards is not a factor that would stop me from buying a board. It’s the other things. Thanks for stoping by.
I’m stuck between getting this or a meepo v5 I’ve only ever regular longboard so idk if it’ll be good to start on this zelot s2 is it better to start on belt or hub motors?
Belt drive is always better if you can afford it. I believe the Meepo V5 even though a good board is hub motor. Belt drive provides more options. If you go with this one do not forget to use my Backfire Link in description.
I’ve been watching all your reviews and I love them, I’ve been thinking on getting this board the zealot s2 how much range do you think I can get as a 150lbs person I’m really considering on getting this or the meepo envy but I’m leaning more towards the zealot s2 but which board has more range and also how much range does the s2 get. I also love your videos❤
This and meepo envy are very good. I think with your weight you will get really good range. Probably around 20 miles. I do really like the remote in the S2 really functional.
I get some flex out of it. But I am a little heavier. Eve so I think this is what most people would want. Especially riding fast. I find it pretty comfortable.
Surprised you went on a group ride with eucs and onewheelers. Tried once, never again 🙃 Felt like I was really holding everyone back cause you cant ride an eskate in the woods
Unfortunately the lights kill it for me. If it had a color control I'd consider it. But I don't like any of the lights in general nothing to do with the color.

That is one beautiful board, and the remote, wow!
A great review of a great looking and great performing board, brother!
I do not think Backfire had the NLS Pro. That may have been another brand. Thanks for stoping by. Thus board is a lot of fun.
Yes, you are correct, sir, That was Meepo. My bad. I have edited my original comment.

Do you have a link for that backpack or lighting system? I've been doing more night runs and I feel that my rear lighting situation could be better.
It’s custom built. Buddy let me borrow it. It’s so cool. I want one too 😎😎😝
Does it have boosted style reverse or free mode?
No it does not. I prefer this style of braking. You can adjust breaking curve on the board in the remote so you brake as hard as you like.
What u think of the X?
I love it. Get it. Use code LansingATL a buddy of mines has it and I rode it several times. You can see it in my latest backfire review.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent a bit late for that u already convinced me for the Zealot S2 anyway lol might sell my old Zealot S. Still like new.
Nice, I think I might buy those books

Damn I wish meepo made a remote for their premium boards as nice as this one, that’s beautiful.
Yeah sexy remote for sure.
⚡ *Review game strong as ever!* ⚡
S2 looks better than the X for me, wish they offered the S2 in the larger battery size of the X 😂
Congrats on the docu man, great to have you back though 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I love the light mode options, people can choose the mode they prefer, rather than just off or on.
I like that the new remotes from brands have a lot of customisability via the remote rather than just an app.
Yeaah it's nice to have a board you can still throw around yet has a great size battery.
Agree about bash guards.
I like the purple more too. It pops so hard. Would love to see a purple X. Yes I am really excited about the documentary. Always good to hear from you.
Definitely need clear bash guards
@@ryngrd1 did but think about clear but that would be dope.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent clear bash guards wont stay clear 😂 need a normal one that sticks out Beyond the edge of the light / deck
badass board. amazing vid. edits, music and shots. and congrats to your documentary. solid backfire fan. btw where you bought that purple strap around you?
My homeboy made it he let me borrow the bag. He is on IG theorganicparadox
What are you using for your backpack lights?
It’s DIY it’s a buddies bag.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent what lights did you use
I'm sure someone who has experience with 3D printing could print out a solid bash guard solution.
Yep hopefully so. I see it coming. People will want that.
Hey MrPillipsTheChangeAgent, FYI, If want to protected the board with a clear bash guard.
Try getting a clear rubber hose about 6" long. And then cut it down the center to slip over the board. DONE!
Good idea 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
What about clear deck liners? Protects the edge but you can still see the lights? 🤔
Might be the move right there. At least in the rear.
@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent not sure if they even exist but 😂
@@DiecastJetz they have something like that they are made for surf boards.
Great video dude. 🤟🏽
Appreciate you 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤟
When is your next group ride?
People ride daily honestly. Especially now since weather is amazing.
What’s the purple glow in the dark backpack lookin thing called
A buddy had it custom built. He let me borrow it. Really helped with the vibe.
Just got my board today and love it my only question for the comment section is how do you deal with clearance for the motor mounts as they sit fairly low any tips or recommendations
You can put lager wheels on. I just ride stock though. I am about to put the new cloud wheels on it to test.
S2 is fire can’t wait to see the X
I know right.
How is the acceleration compared to other boards that you have ridden I ordered mine and have had a meepo V4sEr
I think it’s pretty good. I think anyone who has this board will be happy with its acceleration.
Your first video I watched was the Exway Flex & noticed you liked it. Now, we are about the same weight & I'm just getting into skating.

Get the Zealot X or this board here if you like the form factor of a street board. Use code LansingATL to save some money.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent 3 years late what do you think about the Exway Flex now? please be completely honest.
Dude this board is so cool ive been using my backfire g3 since the first release and now im gonna need this one!! My bank account is bleeding tho...
Man this board is fun and a looker. When you can I definitely recommend it.

What are you using for your lights on your backpack? I envisioned the same design when I considered this board and i just ordered it yesterday

When it’s large group rides like this. We chill. But yeah if it’s just a EUC ride won’t do it.
Would it be possible to convert the zealot to pneumatic wheels?
No not really. Just put larger wheels on it like cloud wheels backfore makes some in that style too. Using LansingATL for discount.
@@MrPhillipsTheChangeAgent I'll check it out and use that code if I do thanks brother!

Unfortunately the lights kill it for me. If it had a color control I'd consider it. But I don't like any of the lights in general nothing to do with the color.
