Been looking at so many e board vids since I ordered my wowgo 2s max on Friday (arrives Wednesday) I wanted one since I tried my friends last year, great vid!

[@san_dan52]

Update on the board?

[@ivanalvarenga9080]

Good review. I have the Flex Riot as a grocery getter and love it. I put softer wheels and it rides smoother (Boa 90mm Hatchlings). It's fun, responsive and a great carver. Plus, being relatively light makes it easy to carry when running errands or commuting. It's also very enjoyable when I need a break from my big board. Shop around as many shops are discounting it to make room for newer inventory. I got mine for around $330 shipped.

Where did you get yours from?

[@Jacob-le3jc]

@@berhetta552I’ve been looking too and I can’t even find one on there sight

[@zsweekuh]

Need the short board video!

[@Yarrrr1111]

From my experience, wowgo bards have quality issues. And they warranty, almost 2 months have passed and i still haven't received my spare parts.

[@amirrozukulov3140]

what about tynee ultra sl????

[@FreakDeagle]

exway link doesnt work

[@danhle1032]

Cool but lots of editorial errors like saying the wrong number on screen and saying 15miles range is above average for maxfind but then wowgos 14.3 mile range is considered toptier but Elway 16miles is good

[@ElectricSkateboardHQ]

GAhh! Sorry about that, mistake were sneaked in due to multiple rounds of edit and reediting, changing the text number price etc etc. My bad. Thanks for pointing it out, hope it didn't take too much away from the information I tried to deliver.

[@bailey2517]

​@@ElectricSkateboardHQstill a very nice video. Thank you!!

[@knoopx]

how are belt driven boards less efficient? lower kv and gear reduction sounds quite the opposite to me. good selection anyway, looking forward for the mini one!

[@ElectricSkateboardHQ]

belt-system are generally less energy efficient as you have energy loss through the system. frictions, sounds etc. Don't quote me, not an engineer, but if you look at boards with similar battery, belt-drives tends to have significantly lesser range than their hub counterparts. (EG Exway Flex hubs vs Exway Flex Riot)

[@knoopx]

@@ElectricSkateboardHQ and actually my statement was also wrong, belt driven motors need to be higher kv (speed faster) to keep on par with the gear ratio

[@ianmangham4570]

Mechanical power loss through the drive train I'd assume unlike direct drive

[@michaelsy.]

Which is the best for someone who doesnt know how to skateboard yet?

[@isaiahtsosie9620]

A regular push board is a great start

[@erikborgersen]

It looks like the Wowgo 25 Max would be one ;)

[@redboyjan]

One with local support

[@BullyMaguire69]

solid picks, pretty close to my research
notice some editing mistakes, kind of distracting

[@ElectricSkateboardHQ]

Thanks for the validation!
Ooops, which editings mistakes do you mean?

[@edgardeslage176]

some prices you said weren't the same as the ones written
@@ElectricSkateboardHQ

[@ElectricSkateboardHQ]

ah... thanks for the note.@@edgardeslage176
Price got changed between scripting and editing, I've changed the script, forget to changed the edit.. facepalm.

[@speedstar1330]

one thing I do not like about them is the range

[@tacticoolnukes849]

You'll get what you pay for but the main limiting factor is sheer volume of lithium you can cram into the small form factor even the most energy dense cells on the market won't get you too far when you can't fit more than a few of them into a package that small.

[@redboyjan]

You get nothing for free. Good cells cost. Lot of fakes out there too

[@ignaciosevil1944]

LOl who is gonna do that "MANTEINANCE" should i send it back to china or what>?

[@dmarkotann]

Added maintenance like switching out belts.

[@ivanalvarenga9080]

You don't do minor maintenance on your car or other toys?

[@eBoard3R]

⚡👀⚡

[@Arcuare]

for low price u get low range

[@redboyjan]

Good cells cost yeah
