This is an honest review of the Propel Pivot GT performance 2-in-1 electric skateboard. The Propel Pivot GT was a purchase of a 2-in-1 esk8 and all opinions are my own.
I go through all of the features of the electric longboard including the battery, esc, carbon fiber deck, remote and wheels.
Performance testing and shots are all completed by myself with an Insta360 and DJI Drone.

Just ordered mines last week used your code hope it helped as it did for me 😅
@@clutchesguyinmichiganawesome my man! Enjoy your new board 🙌🏽
It's a great board. Looks premium and yeah pretty good range for the ~$1000 price range. For anyone looking for something with more flex, the Tynee Explorer All Terrain is also a great board as well. More comfortable than an all carbon deck and also uses a 12S4P 864Wh Samsung 50S Battery, same as this Propel Pivot GT and they also have a 12S4P 726Wh Molicel P42A Battery option for $999.
What a great video showcase the overall set up and performance of the board! Night shots also are epic!!! Love it bro!!!
Much appreciated bro!! Thanks for watching 👌🏽
Love that this review is so thorough. Most times the reviews that are given are not as detailed and informative. Great job and sick board!
Glad it was helpful! 💯
Love this! Keep posting more!
Thank you!! 🙏🏽😊
Nice! Thanks for the review man! They look sick!
For sure 💯💯
Love your video man! I just bought my pivot and absolutely love it! I've got the white evolves too but none of my abec pulleys fit them. What pulleys are you using on your board? Did you buy the pulleys from evolve or did you buy them from propel? Keep doing the good work man!
Congrats man!! So, Evolve wheels will only fit with Evolve pulleys. However, Abec pulleys will still fit with a little play. You can still skate them. Feel free to DM me on IG if you have questions! Thanks for watching 👌🏽
I love that you’re making a review highlighting the feel of THANE!! I recently became a fan of ATs after buying the Novas But I’m old-school and I love writing street wheels I just think it makes you a more fluid rider great job man
Appreciate it!! I can’t wait for my Novas to come in as well. Should be here in the next few days. Thanks for watching 💯🤙🏽
Hi, great review! Wanted to ask you: do you get any rattle with the lights installed?
No rattles that I’ve noticed. The rubber piece helps eliminate I believe.
Hey, Russ from Propel here. If you get a light rattle, tighten the screw in the very rear
Awesome review, indepth, straight to the point, great editing, got me to purchase the pivot gt without the street wheels. Used your code for the $30 of, and earned yourself a sub! This is my first electric skateboard or skateboard for that matter, can you tell me i can go about purchasing the street wheels? Do i need to purchase a different belt and pulley? can i use the pulleys that come with what the madwheels offer? what is the smallest size wheels i can get?
Nice!! Glad I could help and you’re gonna love it! Feel free to DM me on IG about the wheels.
love your choice of street wheels! Evolve 97 and orange cags are two of my faves. Also love the blue cags…
Yessir!! I have the blue cags on another board. Love those too 💯
Great review !
Thanks 💯
Great video 👍 that song was good 👍
Thank you 💯
AWESOME! well done. u got great taste 🤘🏼✅
Appreciate it big homie!! And thanks for all your help 🙌🏽
Fred it was basically from your reviews that I was able to find my favorite decks!! I am 100% all in with everything MBoards, but my kids are all about Propel!! We have both Mboards and Pivot GT and Endeavor 2 pro!! Excellent review on this propel though. For me, this is the second best 2in1 after the Endurance!! I highly recommend the Novas!!
Great review! I own this board as well and agree with everything you covered. Definitely no regrets.
I did have to add glue one screw that quickly began to rattle behind a headlight, and there is a slight battery drain issue with the headlights that has not been resolved. I’m also anticipating the sunmate tires needing to be replaced after only 300-400 miles of use. The contact patch is very narrow when inflated to 50psi. I think the 6 inch HOTA tires from Ali express will be a better replacement.
I also wish the remote battery indicator was a little more accurate than just 4 bars -that’s like the same technology as a 20 year old Nokia brick phone😂. I usually end up ignoring the indicator and simply charging my board every 10 miles. I got burned once when it went from 2 bars to steady vibration in under 2 miles and I had to do the walk of shame.
Agree with you on all of this. I haven’t noticed any battery drain or rattling behind the headlights. Thanks for pointing that out and I’ll keep an eye on it. I’ve already replaced my Sunmate Tires and picked up the new Nova Tires by Mboards. Haven’t had a chance to ride them yet, but much wider contact patch.
@@ElectricCarves most people including me who bought the light kit will notice the light rattling after awhile i just unscrewed the light from its mount and put electrical tape underneath so its not metal on metal and that fixed it
@@InstinctivelySimple good to know! I’ll keep an eye out for mine too 👌🏽
Epic! I want one, any giveaways? lol
Bro, that board is awesome!
Yessir!! 💯
*Yewwwh*
⚡️🤙🏽🤟🏽🤙🏽⚡️
Would look great with blue dad bod 105s or Mad V2 105s 👌🏽
Agreed!! Maybe one day 😁
Great review mate! What program do you use to edit your videos ?
Appreciate it! I use a combination of CapCut video editor, iMovie and LightCut.
@@ElectricCarves thanks, can you produce video with just one of those programs? If so, which one ?
Nice job man 🤘🛹
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching 🤘🏽
Thank you
Like your reviews.
Appreciate it my man 💯
I have a Pivot too and love it. I am a carver and thinking of changing the bushings. I never changed dubble king pin bushings and I can't find what kind of bushing are stock under the pivot.
What is a nice setup to improve the board in your experience?
( thanks for the tip in the video of the riptide 96A krankbarrels)
I have actually recently changed them all out recently. I might do a follow up video around this.
Awesome! Courious what setup you're trying now.
Looking forward to the video, or a short text review, what works or not works.
I was considering a pivot gt at $1100, but at $1300 it's hard to justify $150 over a Tynee Explorer with 50S cells or $300 if you just want p42a, Tynee has better included wheels, and the hubs aren't glued to the pulleys, and is even compatible with their gear drive. Tynee also has the best remote outside of backfire or a VESC, and tynee has app support now as well. Tynee also has fast shipping to more countries, the final nail in the coffin of the pivot for me was potentially waiting 55 days to receive my board vs Tynee's 15-25 days. The pivot series made more sense when it launched with a good price and good specs but now with a price increase on both the S and GT, while everyone else's prices are going down, you can get a Zeus pro for less money than a GT now.
All really good points and no doubt the Tynee Explorer is an amazing board! I think it boils down to if you want a flex bamboo deck or carbon fiber. I was personally in the market for carbon fiber to take off road and not having to worry about bottoming out on hills. Also I like the integrated front and rear lights. Tynee has some really cool features with their remote and customization though! Thanks for watching 👌🏽
@@ElectricCarves Definitely the biggest difference between the 2. If I had $2000+ USD to spend on boards I'd get a Pivot GT and a Tynee Ultra X Pro, but for 1 board the Explorer will feel more like a traditional longboard on the street while still being capable offroad
Damn good deal. Just this fu...ng TAX 😢😢😢 will cost me 300 pounds,
This board is worth especially because off alloy wheels and great battery. Thanks for video🎉
Appreciate you watching 💯👌🏽
As far as I remmember UK woted themselves to Brexit :
@@dainiuszilinskas2744 people was blind, didn't know what they're doing till shit comes in....
Edit: Yoooo I've got back on this. Don't order a meepo. They don't ship!!!
I think its sweet. But you are going to find something else that does the same. *(but bamboo)
Just the Meepo bamboo hurricane offers slightly better value at 50 bucks more (1120 vs 1160 dollar) because it come's with a faster charger and 2-in-1 with the soft street wheels. And I like how its a bit lower.
the gt has been at $999 for the last few weeks now
Yoooo I've got back on this. Don't order a meepo. They don't ship!!!
@@yohvh damn man sprry to hear that. I read a lot of complaints abiut them not shipping pr quality control issues within the past month. Its prob for the best, hopefully you can charge back on your credit card
I'm getting better range than this and am 200lbs. with gear. I haven't done a full range test but the other day, including 2000'+ elevation, I got 21 miles on AT's at 45lbs psi and still had just under 2 bars of battery left. Pretty sure I can get 30+ miles out of it, but I'm mostly just cruising around 20-25mph, not a speed demon. Nice video, thanks for posting, love my Pivot GT!
That’s impressive! The battery on this is a beast for sure. I’m running a lower PSI for better grip during carving. 30+ miles on AT’s is awesome 👏🏽
Any recommendations for putting kegel core pulleys on? Only can find abec cores for it.
I found some on MBoards website.
Where is that place, 11:49? Looks like a fun place to ride.
In Oklahoma. It’s an awesome bridge that’s lit up and great for Esk8 🤙🏽
Hell ya!
Thanks bro!! 💯
You have the front tire on backwards
Yea I noticed that after filming. I’ve since replaced. Good eye!
@@ElectricCarves I just replaced the tires on both my Meepo Hurricanes and I made the same mistake.
So. If you get the 2 in 1. You can still get your mad wheels on its just you bought yourself a set of extra wheels.
Yes for sure. That’s just the option I went with.
@@ElectricCarves Questions:
When installing my AT wheels. the back feels like having a lot more resistance when rolling my board if its turned off. Is this normal?
When I am low on battery the controller starts to vibrate a few times every X seconds. when on 1/5 bars. Is it okay to drive slowly when this happens. how much range is left. 20%?
When using my Street wheels. I've got a rattling sound in the rear wheels. It seem to be the spacers inside the rear wheel. Do you have this issue as well?
Do you ever get
speed wobbles?
From time to time yes. Just practice and experience. Helps a lot!
how would I go about contacting Veymax for a business proposal?
where is this place?
Oklahoma… awesome bridge for esk8 🤙🏽
👀
😳😏
Wowgo coppied this or this copied Wowgo?
Not really sure tbh
Have you tried out the all-terrain carbon fibre Veymax Anchoret? It is only 8.1KG! 🫨
I haven’t yet
Love this! Keep posting more!
Thank you! Will do! 😃
