I love your company your customer service is amazing you are the only place I will ever buy a electric skateboard from I am going to get your off roaring one soon
You guys, Backfire had an issue with the batteries and was pro active and sent new batteries at their expense to all the backfire owners which is us. I just watched a review that spoke about this. We need to support companies like this, I’m buying this brand. Okay I found out that this company is in multiple countries so we have support in the USA, Europe and Australia. Backfire that was more than cool, I have no idea how much that cost you to do that for us, but 🙏🏽
A review that actually had the info I was seeking without a bunch of nonsense. I'm older and don't need to go over 20mph, really. And 10 miles is probably farther than I ride in 2 days. That said, the spare battery is only 170. Thanks for the review.
Thanks! The specs are super comparable. There's no denying that. The reason I lean towards Backfire is bc their customer support has been outstanding. I can't vouch for the other manufacturers
It's able to climb up hills pretty good (parking garages, hills in a trail) as long as your battery isn't dying. Once the battery is getting low, it struggles as expected.
I'm about to order my first e-skate, and have my choices narrowed down to two "finalists": WowGo 2S Pro & BackFire G2 Black. Both 'tick' all the right boxes, especially for a higher-end, quality, "budget" board. I've tried searching comparisons of these two against each other, but have come up completely empty (I can find comparisons of both against the same 'other' boards...just not these two against each other). I could REALLY use some help in deciding. What would the pros/cons of each (against the other) be. Also, something (for both) I haven't been able to find on either is info on 'customer service' (especially for the U.S.) Any "assistance" would be GREATLY appreciated.
Isaw reunion tower 😂 im from Dallas. My brother has a zealot and im looking to get a g3. I love backfire they are definitely up there with the best value and easy to find parts for.
Yes you technically can, but I wouldn't recommend it due to bad traction. A wet surface won't damage the board by any means. It's water resistant and the electronics are fully sealed. With that being said, I'd still avoid heavy rains and never submerge the board etc.
Hey how's it going, quick question what's the difference between the G3 bamboo board and the G2 🚲💨💨💨 I'm in the gamble of picking which one to get do you think the G3 is worth two hundred dollars more 💨💨 and one more question you know how in your video on the description you have the backfire USA to purchase through there if I purchase do your thing on your description would I be able to still track my order my backfire app that I have downloaded on my phone 💨 please help 💨💯🤙👍
Hey man! I’m completely new to the eboard scene and was looking for one less than $500. I really just need one for casual use, like cruising the boardwalk here and there with my friends. Do you think this is the right one for me? I just want a smooth comfortable board that’s not hard to use. I also don’t need too much speed.
Here's the breakdown I came up with when comparing the advertised spec sheets head to head... Price: Backfire Range: Backfire Top Speed: Meepo Battery: Backfire ESC: Tie Hub Motors: Meepo Wheels: Backfire Deck: Meepo Trucks: Meepo (comes with options for the bushings) Customer Service: Backfire These are super comparable and are neck and neck when comparing specs. For my riding style and personal preference, I would take the Backfire. The price, range, battery and wheels provide more value in my opinion. Also their customer service has always been exceptional and sets them apart from their competitors.
Any updates on the black lining vs the wood lining on the board? I ordered mine a couple of days ago and I really do hope that mine comes with black lining because I don't like the wood lining at all. Could it be that they now all come with black lining? The images on their website still show the wood lining though.. If it do come with wood lining, is there any way I could paint it myself?
To be honest, this board is the only one I've seen with the black trim. Not sure why. All the specs are the same as the advertised board. You'd certainly be able to paint the trim yourself. After some wear and tear, the natural wood is starting to seep through.
I still haven't adjusted my trucks or changed my bushing since unboxing. I am about 200 miles in now. My recommendation is to start by loosening the trucks. See if that makes it more comfortable!
I’m looking to buy my first eboard. I don’t live in the us so I won’t be getting another board anytime soon. Should I go for the g2 black or meepo mini 2?
The specs are pretty comparable and they're around the same price. For me, I would go with the Backfire bc I like the "longboard" deck vs a mini, and I can attest its a great product! With that being said, I haven't personally ridden the Meepo Mini 2 but for your first board, I recommend more surface area on the deck. You can't go wrong with the G2 Black 2020. It's a great beginner board that you can grow into. Hope that helps!
Absolutely! If you're comfortable on a skateboard, you will be able to easily adjust. You might want to check out the Backfire mini. It has more similar features to a regular skateboard. We have a review on that here th-cam.com/video/xudM-tRS4OI/w-d-xo.html
That's honesty a great question that I do not have the answer for. My thoughts are maybe the black ones are prototype boards? Not 100% sure. If I hear anything from Backfire, I will make sure to update this comment.
I've seen some videos of people trying on Backfires Instagram, and it didn't look like it went too well! Traction is a major issue. Maybe the X2 or X3 could do better 🤷♂️ I wouldn't recommend it tho.
This review is great and professional!Shall we share this on our website?
Thank you.. Enjoying this board and please feel free to share!
Yeah great video you should make it on the website!
I love your company your customer service is amazing you are the only place I will ever buy a electric skateboard from I am going to get your off roaring one soon
Now I know what I’m getting for Christmas, thanks man!
They are in sale right now for $389. Now is the time to order!

Still can't Decide whether I buy the Apsuboard X1, Backfire G2, or Backfire Galaxy 2020. HELP!
I'd go G2 Galaxy 💯 that boost in specs is worth the little bit extra if you're on board with the grip tape.

How good is that customer service?!?! 💯
Me too 22 mph but the battery was with one bar off, I’m going to test again with a fully battery, I love this board, I got my today ❤🎉😅
Great editing and explanation just bought the g2 black
Thanks!
Ordered mine two days ago I can’t wait
Have you got it yet if so how is it?

Awesome review. Trying to find my first board, budget in mind. Looking at this one and the Meepo v3 / aspu v3 / wowgo 3. Can't decide!
I would go meepo.
Thanks! The specs are super comparable. There's no denying that. The reason I lean towards Backfire is bc their customer support has been outstanding. I can't vouch for the other manufacturers
@@SeedVisual meepo has gotten significantly better when it comes to their shipping and customer service. It’s not perfect but decent enough.
That's good to know. I personally can't vouch for it but that's great to hear. Thanks for sharing!
Johny Co go for it after searching watching videos i ended up ordering one
This the best review of this Board.
Thanks!
Yup that’s it I’m getting one 🤩
Heck ya! You'll LOVE IT! Please use our referral link at no cost to you 🙏
Great review! So excited for mine to arrive!
You're gunna love it
How is it
It was fun while it lasted. Got run over by a car. Not with me on it.
@@aidanmurray2397 lmao 🤣
Wow thanks for this video. This electric skateboard is nice, this will help me a lot thanks
No problem! Thanks for watching
I’ve been considering getting a good electric longboard that doesn’t cost $1000 dollars. I think this is the one
This is definitely the budget board to get!
Nice review man, can i ask you, how does this skate is in climb? Thanks for the response...
It's able to climb up hills pretty good (parking garages, hills in a trail) as long as your battery isn't dying. Once the battery is getting low, it struggles as expected.
You’ll be shocked at how steep of a hill it can climb!
You should try out the G3!
On the list! How do you like it?

Buying one tomorrow
Nice! And the deals are great right now. New video just uploaded with Black Friday deals
Great b roll of you riding!
Thanks!
Can we ride it when it’s raining? How does water resistance hold up? It’s rainy season now!
Yes you technically can, but I wouldn't recommend it due to bad traction. A wet surface won't damage the board by any means. It's water resistant and the electronics are fully sealed. With that being said, I'd still avoid heavy rains and never submerge the board etc.
Just as I am watching this....G2 2020 November sale for only $389. Apsu v3 sale is $319....which one is better for beginner budget board?
I'd go V2 2020 if it were me
Waiting for mine...long waiting time though...Italy
How long can you ride on it? Like I know it is charged for like 3 hrs but like how long can it go
You can consistently get 10 to 11 miles of range. That's really good at this price point
Hey how's it going, quick question what's the difference between the G3 bamboo board and the G2 🚲💨💨💨 I'm in the gamble of picking which one to get do you think the G3 is worth two hundred dollars more 💨💨 and one more question you know how in your video on the description you have the backfire USA to purchase through there if I purchase do your thing on your description would I be able to still track my order my backfire app that I have downloaded on my phone 💨 please help 💨💯🤙👍

Ya man! This is the budget board to get. Comfy deck 96mm wheels. Solid value at that price point.
@@SeedVisual I bought the g2 galaxy version a couple days ago! Can’t wait
Great choice!
Been looking for an electric boad, but i wanted a non chinese brand. Is this the best American Brand boards?
I can definitely vouch for their customer service and quality at the price point!
I know Dallas when I see it! Does it help getting around town a lot and do you still own a car?
How does this board compare to the meepo v3 in terms of specs?
Here's the breakdown I came up with when comparing the advertised spec sheets head to head...
Price: Backfire
Range: Backfire
Top Speed: Meepo
Battery: Backfire
ESC: Tie
Hub Motors: Meepo
Wheels: Backfire
Deck: Meepo
Trucks: Meepo (comes with options for the bushings)
Customer Service: Backfire
These are super comparable and are neck and neck when comparing specs. For my riding style and personal preference, I would take the Backfire.

How long did it take you to get the board?
Living in Dallas, TX it took 4 days
Little late to the party but this might be the one. Been looking for a budget board
What's the weight? The website doesn't seem to list it...
I believe 16.5 lbs.. It's pretty easy to tote around
I see you D-Town!! ❤️❤️❤️
bro that street looks so familiar are u in Dallas?
Yep! In the oak cliff area right across the Trinity River.. Great eye!
@@SeedVisual no way I’m on the north side
Do you loosen your trucks? Or just change the bushings? Cus I just got my Backfire and it’s hard to turn

I’m 11 do you think I would be oaky to ride it . I have been riding a normal skateboard for 3 years.
Absolutely! If you're comfortable on a skateboard, you will be able to easily adjust. You might want to check out the Backfire mini. It has more similar features to a regular skateboard. We have a review on that here th-cam.com/video/xudM-tRS4OI/w-d-xo.html
Can this ride on gravel roads?
Also grass?
I wouldn't recommend gravel with this board. The all terrain board would be better for gravel. We have a review on their all terrain board as well!
how much range would i get. i weight 170 lbs and ride slowly ( less then 18mph)
they have it classed at 150 so you do the math
I have a G2 Black but I’ve seen this this type where it has that black lining and mine just has the wood lining. What’s the difference
That's honesty a great question that I do not have the answer for. My thoughts are maybe the black ones are prototype boards? Not 100% sure. If I hear anything from Backfire, I will make sure to update this comment.
@@SeedVisual year it’s kinda weird haha. Even the remote looks a little different. Solid board and solid review though!
LOVE this budget board and much appreciated! Thanks for supporting the channel 💪
can you ride in the snow?
I've seen some videos of people trying on Backfires Instagram, and it didn't look like it went too well! Traction is a major issue. Maybe the X2 or X3 could do better 🤷♂️ I wouldn't recommend it tho.
finally
It's here!
Me who got it on sale for 389 for my birthday dec 6
Congrats! It's a great board at that price. Enjoy ⚡
I just bought one brand new for $70
xD from where bro ? thats non sense waht u said
Whaaat i got a wooden deck
Is it maple?
@@SeedVisual not to sure but it has red and black lines on it
Hold on you ride lefty? Interesting
Regular stance
I sense this was sponsored...
Regardless, we gave our honest opinions and this is a GREAT budget board !
