I just got my S2 yesterday and love it as much as my Zealot S already, but I am suprised my first ride out the battery ran out after almost 22 miles. I thought the range would be better. I'm 170 lbs and have gotten that same range on my Zealot S. Upgraded range was half the reason I upgraded.
Another reviewer mentioned that the slipping may be due to loose belts. Hope Backfire addresses this and also offers larger wheel options due to the low motor mounts you mentioned. Otherwise, a fantastic effort by Backfire.
I just bought one using the discount code. I was stuck between the backfire brand and a propel pivot. Can't wait to get it, then i will decide if i need to upgrade the wheels or if it'll be okay with the ones it comes with.
After my g3 got stolen at my University I’ve been considered on buying this board but thanks to this review I’ll be looking into getting this board next!

I currently have a backfire g3 which I love but I wish they would make an upgraded performance hub board I like the quiet hubs and that I can kick push if I really want because I’m a traditional skater and sometimes my calf needs a break! I want that zealot S2 battery and remote! The light on the board looks cool but i don’t care for the extra attention personally!
check out the bustin v3 sportster hybrid. since ur a skater, you’ll love them. good power n speed and good range too. very sleek . i did a review on it a year ago
Rode my zealot for a solid year and fell of maybe twice with little to no injury’s, had a evolve GTR for about 6 months and sold it after the first accident cause I fractured my skull.. the breaks were so sensitive at high speeds and not strong enough on low speeds. I wouldn’t recommend the evolve boards at all
So im very new to the hobby, i ended up pulling a trigger on the Zealot S. So in about a years time ill look at maybe the s2 or X and hand down the board to my nephew so we can skate together
Love the review! Just got a question. When I asked backfire, they said the motor mounts on the s2 will be slightly adjustable, compared to the s which is fixed. Is it truly adjustable or is there just more room in the screw mount?
hi esk, i have a question, whats the best skate, that would have 50+ km range. i thought about ownboard zeus carbon pro bc my friend has one ownboard and they are good, is it a good value of money? i have ~600 dollars and saving up for it but idk. thanks
check all our videos. watch the results and how they behave so u can make a decision. my favorite 2 in 1 boards are Titan X, Hadean, Black carve 3, and Hurricane. all on the channel.. the zeus is great but Ownboard customer service isnt so great in my experience. Acedeck has some new things coming too
I odered the zealot s twice now and got stolen the first time now it’s delayed USA air shipping how long does it take to get your boards😅 I might try another brand if it doesn’t comr
ahh daym that sucks.. backfire usually ships pretty fast. Id wait. its a great board . if u wanna upgrade, check out my Titan x videos, Hurricane, Hadean, and Onsra videos
I have a zealot s that I upgraded to a halo remote. You have to turn the brakes down to 40-45 percent for it to not lose traction. It's still a very strong brake but smooth, predictable, and no sliding lol
My axle just snapped I got it two days ago do not get it unfortunately because it is from china it does not have good quality but it was fun while it lasted
backfire will make it right. 90% of the things u own in ur home are made from china. china is very capable of making good products. sometimes we just get bad luck. contact backfire ✅
Visually this board is amazing. Unfortunately I started riding EUC and tbh you just can't go back. It's so much superior in every conceivable way. I've been a skateboarder for over 10 years and guys ima tell you, sell your boards, get an EUC.
Backfire states the trucks of this board are gravity cast, Gravity casting is the oldest form of casting and of course not forged. Watching you accelerate is does not tell us anything nor a race when you mate weighs twice as much as you.
its worse hearing people inhale to take a breathe for there next sentence and swallow and hear their saliva while moistening there mouth for the next sentence because they been talking so much. newer videos have more gaps tho 💯👍🏼🤘🏼
Dudes “grip” test is so bad… he’s riding the board on flat road, and carving like he barely rides. 😂. He needs to carve going down hill, he needs to carve really hard. If he’s just more of a casual rider.
The zealot is hands down my most comfortable board to ride. 1100miles and still running strong. I luv it. Gr8 review. 🤙
bruh i still love my bamboo zealot and S. i probably wont sell em
Love that your still pumping out the vids man! The LEDs on this board alone are enough to make me want one haha
thanks brotha! always loved ur esk8 videos!
im buying one here next paycheck thank god for the code

how fast were you going
God, I swear this purple looks so much nicer than the teal on the X. or they just need to make it RGB!
i keep going back n fourth to which lights i like better 😝
i have blue cloud wheels on my zealot so im excited to match my new zealot x when it arrives 😹

Greatttt review finally saw the deck flex and having your weight on the screen helps aswell💪🏼

Dope video great job love the glow of the board looks awesome 🔥

Is the Deck stiffer than Exway flex pro and can it absorp Bumps, bad surfaces and road vibration? Thanks in advice!
Another great vid Fred. Where would you place it compared to the meepo voyager.
id say the voyager has 10-15% less power. i like the backfire deck n trucks better too.

great choice!
I've been watching this video with the sound off so have no idea if its any good but i really want one of those bad boys❤❤❤
Niiiice review!
Love the review! Just got a question. When I asked backfire, they said the motor mounts on the s2 will be slightly adjustable, compared to the s which is fixed. Is it truly adjustable or is there just more room in the screw mount?
I'd like the lights to have their own button on the remote so you could single click.
I ordered the Zealot X 2 weeks ago. Everything looks fantastic apart from the deck being so stiff.
Well, skids are dangerous, but yes, that’s an incredible board.
8:00 Hahahah
Test on “Terrible roads”
😂 😝
Looks so good at night 😍
very. the video doesnt do justice
Appreciate the review, however you should work on the overlapping voiceover-audio (0:51).
will try to improve. Im more of a rider than a editor 😝. but ill try to improve for yall . thank u for the input
Great review
hi esk, i have a question, whats the best skate, that would have 50+ km range.

@ESK8UNITY thanks for the reply, I already watched a lot of ur videos, they are great!
Is it possible to install more light for late night rides?
yea check out shredlights! discount code “esk8unity”
Has the board randomly lock up and throw you forward
no. did that happen to u?
I need this with RGB led deck light in my life
Idk if I should get the x or the s2 😢
i gave my input towards the end about that. hope my videos help! link/discount code in description!
I odered the zealot s twice now and got stolen the first time now it’s delayed USA air shipping how long does it take to get your boards😅 I might try another brand if it doesn’t comr
ahh daym that sucks.. backfire usually ships pretty fast. Id wait. its a great board . if u wanna upgrade, check out my Titan x videos, Hurricane, Hadean, and Onsra videos
Discount code doesn't seem to work. Any advice?
it works with backfireusa not backfireboards . but let me see if they can get it to work for the worldwide website
updated!! thank u!
I have a zealot s that I upgraded to a halo remote. You have to turn the brakes down to 40-45 percent for it to not lose traction. It's still a very strong brake but smooth, predictable, and no sliding lol

how did you exactly do that? Swapped esc?

love my euc. but i love skatin a little more
Nah
at that point id get a one wheel for at least a feeling of skating still yk
Backfire states the trucks of this board are gravity cast, Gravity casting is the oldest form of casting and of course not forged. Watching you accelerate is does not tell us anything nor a race when you mate weighs twice as much as you.
how does showing an acceleration test not tell u anything? and where did i race someone twice my weight? no races were in this video.
🔥🔥💯😎
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I like your videos, but I’m not a fan of the overlapping audio in this one.
i will try to improve. not much of a editor. riding is more my thing. thank u for the input!
Was just about ot order one. 150$ for shipping WTF
Aint no way Im paying 150 dollars for shipping. Thats almost 20% of the 849 price on the board....
YaY! 🤘🥳🛹
🤘🏼🤘🏼
👍
the jump cuts on the voiceover are hella annoying, idk why people keep doing this 💀
its worse hearing people inhale to take a breathe for there next sentence and swallow and hear their saliva while moistening there mouth for the next sentence because they been talking so much. newer videos have more gaps tho 💯👍🏼🤘🏼
What pulley ?!!! 💀
i got scamed by backfire i dont recommend this brand
