SOOOOO what are your thoughts? do you think that Meepo has created a ultimate beast? I personally think that bang for the buck that they have bumped up the entire competition across the feild! let me know what you think!
I have a set! Tried them on my WowGo at2+ video, they are nice I’ve come to appreciate them more after they wear in a little over time! If you haven’t yet subscribe to the channel for more content coming out!
Bad welded batteries, weak cast trucks prone to breaking for no reason, dangerous ESC that shut down everything inclulding brakes, ulltimate 💩it is !!!
Iv had for almost a year now and yeah it’s still the best board. I’m the king of the shreds. 🎉 I found out some really cool tricks and mods to keep it fresh, and there are some slicks boards out there but, nothing compares to the hurricane. Get it with the gear drive. 🙌 🎉
Try it on T/B 110mm wheels with meepo's 40t pully 28 miles im 240LB. Slightly less agile / but much more stable / more comfortable under foot & ive run it on 83/85/90/97mm wheels. The 110s are a good compromise between the A/Ts & a more range street set up. I have the only spare battery in the UK at the moment so can swap hence over 1500 miles since Jan. I had a Trampa & this thing runs it so close on everything apart from off road. Mine was £1500 the evolve H was £2400 a £900 ($1200) differance for what are basicly the same things ive no regrets on getting the HURRICANE
Well said my man!!! Have you had the opportunity to try the mad wheels 105 I believe for international it’s the verral wheels but the 105 I found to be perfect combination of size power and range
Great Video Drew. I have had my hurricane for 9 months with 950 miles. I have absolutely zero regrets on my purchase. Also, those Mad Wheels, I put them on about 300 miles ago and I don't think I will ever take them off.
thats awesome! i would have more miles on this if I didn't have other boards to ride, V4, Mini dual, wowgo 2smax so im constantly swapping out my boards and they all are racking up miles. but almost 1000!!!! that's awesome!! Those mad wheels are absolutely incredible wheels couldn't agree more!
⚡ *That "storm" Hurricane pun* 😂😂⚡ No-one else thought of that!! These follow-up reviews are few and far between from a lot of people, we need more of them!! A great option with FOC finally on Meepo ESCs. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Total dad joke hahah yeah, I feel like I needed to do it justice, we all just do one review and that’s it. I like the idea of coming back and showing the good, bad and ugly.
Thank you. Always appreciate long term reviews. I gravitate more towards flexy decks. It looks like the impending Hurricane Ultra may give us that option and also a new non-belt drive option as well.
The hurricane ultra looks fantastic, the option for gear drive, bamboo, and belt drive is fantastic! If you haven’t subscribed to the channel and enjoy the content please subscribe! More coming out
I love my Meepo Hurricane and used it as one of the test boards for the MAD Wheelz. I have more than 1000 miles on mine and ride it almost daily. Recently I swapped out the stock ESC for a 100amp version currently available on the Meepo website. The power is unreal with the new ESC and I have to turn it down to mode 3 for daily riding. I love the deep concave of the deck and it keeps me really locked in. Some may find the concave to be too much resulting in foot fatigue. Also, I sometimes get a disconnect buzz from the remote that gets more frequent in heavy traffic metropolitan areas. I have never had an actual disconnect. The stock pneumatic tires are not good and wear out very quickly. I got about 200 miles out of mine. Replace them with a set of Hota or BKB tires and you will be good to go. Also, the Linyi ESC is not the most refined and is not as easy to do fine adjustments to your speed compared to the Hobbywing. This may not bother most people but it is noticeable, especially going uphill. Overall, the Hurricane is a top notch board. I liked it so much I order a Voyager last week!
Love all of this! Also I didn’t know they put out a new ESC! You’re right the esc is very very nice with the ability to choose different speed modes and break modes. Great addition of information my dude! Thank you!
That’s awesome! No issues with your board so far? The esc is fairly easy to swap over, plug and play with the motors and battery connections. If you haven’t subscribed to the channel please do so if you dig the content!
I’ve ridden both of them, I have an atlas pro on the way so I can do more testing with it! You really can’t go wrong with either one, it depends on what YOU are looking for in a board, the one advantage that meepo has is it does have a bamboo version of the hurricane and Exway doesn’t, but the atlas pro has the option to upgrade to the AUX pack giving you an insane amount of battery power and range of you upgrade to that option even down the road. What are you wants or needs in a board?
@@DrewElia Both of my sons ride traditional long boards and have for a few years. I'll be 40 this year and I'm just looking for something to keep up with them. I have an 18 year old son, a 16 year old son, and a 3 year old son. I got covid in 2021 that put me in hospice on a ventilator given less than a 20% chance of surviving. About 6 months after that a truck ran me over while I was riding my bike and broke 6 of my ribs + injured my back. Feel like I'll be released from physical therapy soon and I'm just looking to stay active doing something. Kind of stir crazy at the moment.
@@dustincmills that’s a crazy story my man, congrats on your upcoming birthday! Eskate changed my life as well getting me out and about! All of them could absolutely enjoy either of these boards as well as you! You can’t go wrong with either one of them! Both carbon fiber decks would be able to keep you firmly planted on the ground and give you an enjoyable experience. Take care of yourself and if you enjoy the content please subscribe for more videos coming out! Every little bit helps!

If you haven’t already can you dig the continent, please subscribe to the channel! I’ll be posting more reviews of more products coming out soon group rides, and other tips!
Great video, the only part I disagree with you is the kingpin issue. A kingpin should never break or bend unless under extreme forces. I have seen thousands of boards and trucks. I have never seen a kingpin break or bend unless they were involved in a crash like hitting a curb at 25mph+ or getting run over by a vehicle. Other than those extreme cases the kingpin issue that Meepo experienced on their boards was 1000% manufacturer error and their fault. Tightening the kingpin only compresses the bushings and they would rip causing instability before the kingpin failed.
Agreed, hence why meepo recasted and upgraded their trucks for the newer boards. Though I haven’t experienced any issues on my board with these situations. If you dig the content please subscribe to the channel I have more product reviews coming out soon!
@@1BlackHammer awesome choice! I actually will have the gear drives and new wheels coming through soon! They are having a sale right now as well! If you click my link here in the video and use my code you’ll save a few bucks and I’ll get a kick back at no cost to you!
maybe im just unlucky, my charger died and charging module got burned up, they sent me a new charging module and charger, my esc burned out with 200 miles on it, they sent me a new one, the replace burned out 2 days later, still waiting for replacement
You’re really making me want to get one! Clearly the Hurricane is an AMAZING board! You’ve had some amazing adventures on it. Can’t wait to see the next one!
It’s even better on the inside. When I changed my ESC to the 100amp version, everything was so well designed and executed. The battery is not just plastic wrapped, it is I a metal case that fits like a glove.

Well a scooter and esk8 are totally different. I guess it depends on your level of confidence on a skateboard. I tend to think scooters are easier for people to just pick up and go. Have you ridden esk8 before?
@Drew Elia not an esk8. But I grew up skating so I'm comfortable on boards. I'm leaning toward meepo but keep seeing bad things about their customer service 😅
Hi thank you for the great videos : ) Will the Evolve Backpack work good with the Meepo hurricane? Oh I love my Meepo hurricane just waiting for my harder bushings and cloud wheels: ) to make it Epic Uber
Thanks for checking out the video my man! I’m not sure what the evolve backpack can hold? But if it can hold the hadean that’s about the same size as the hurricane, though the hurricane is a heavy board!!!
It’s a great board but it’s sooo heavy, I am hoping that means it’s durable bc a buddy has 2. Compared to my BKB type R tho I can list several things I prefer. For one I have full access to exact battery percentage among a ton of other info via “yours truly” app as well I can toggle settings. I also loved/hated the DKP trucks. Riding the hurricane it throws you into full carves with the most gentle touch. Tho this could be his setup vs my setup, but I should mention that my buddy also enjoy the comfort of “safer feeling” carving on my Type R. I would like to try some speed tests next group meet up. My biggest thing is there is no app for battery percentage and other settings.
Great insights! I also agree, a Bluetooth app would be a nice feature for information like battery voltage and other things like speed and range. I like the yours truly app as well and ride app. If you dig the content please feel free to subscribe. I have more reviews from other boards coming up!
Thx man! Trying to place an order and wondering what I should order. Thinking carbon with belt drive and 165mm tubeless. Please I would appreciate and value your opinion? Belt or gear drive? Also wheels? It seems only one choice, but if indeed the case, Thinking about ordering a aet of good street wheels kit too.
Saw your post on the ultra gear installation, if you have Instagram, give me a follow @de_drones let’s chat on there if you have more direct questions!
I didn't want a Hurricane because I love my Zeus and to me it has it all. But now that there is the Hurricane ultra coming into play with so many options, especially the bamboo one that i'm so interested in (and also because I will never buy Evolve hadean because I hate Evolve, I have tried Hadean and it's not amazing at all), I probably gonna go for the Ultra.
The Zeus is a great board! Only rode it a couple of times but it’s nice! With the ultra coming out it’s hard not to take notice and see that Meepo is adding a lot of value to their premium market place. If you dig the content please subscribe I have more content coming out weekly!
I’ve never owned the Zeus Pro, I’ve ridden a bunch of them and enjoy the ride feel though! Thanks for checking out the channel my man! Make sure to subscribe and check out more of the videos I’ve done!
I can always meet up on my days off to bring you some of my wheels to review.. I have 16x, v11, v12 and recently got the RS with the molicel battery pack.
I have the Hurricane and Voyager X - Voyager is a much more stable and confident board. Double kingpin trucks on Hurricane make me nervous (felt those wobbles before)
I like the double kingpin set up but your right at higher speeds it can wobble, but with the riptide set up you will feel a huge difference, if you haven't subscribed to the channel and enjoy the content please do so my man!!
@@DrewElia good to hear was just gonna pull the trigger on the Riptide box setup. Did you go for the softer duro for the front? And did you go for the reccomened one for your weight or did you go one harder
That’s an interesting statement, while there are a lot of companies who have started and given a lot more value for money, I don’t belive that the hurricane is the worst board for value. I still have mine with several hundred of Miles on it. It’s been through so many different iterations from gear drives, belt drives, tkp, dkp, ShocBoard systems. But it’s always been there. So saying it’s the worst value for money seems to be an interesting statement overall. Is it top pick in 2024, not exactly. A lot of companies offer more bang for buck but that board blazed the way for a lot of people who got into eskate
Apples vs oranges, I love a DKP with a proper bushing set up, carving is a lot of fun. TKP or RKP is great for stability and high speeds, you can carve on it but something about the DKP that gives you a surfing/snowboarding feel
Ok I need help I'm looking for my first E It has to be off road range is 1st speed 2nd comfort 3rd I also am a biggen 250lb what are your thoughts for a board after all you've seen and done?
Ugh, there are a lot of options in this category, if you’re primarily going off road than I’d start looking into gear drive boards, exway atlas pro, acedeck NYX z1, meepo hurricane carbon, tynee explorer, propel endeavor pro, are just a few that come to mind. For off roading capabilities, they all have good range 25-35 miles but off roading is really hard on a battery, so range will suffer. Any of these boards can support your weight and they are all pretty comfortable some more than others for the flexibility. Sorry that doesn’t directly answer the question but it opens up the conversation!
Nice video man. Can you swap the battery for another one you could keep in a backpack ? (not talking about the surge battery option). Also could this additional battery be charged without being inside the Hurricane board ? I currently have the Evolve GTR (v1) with 2 batteries, and it's quite easy to swap them and charge them independently of the skateboard, and it's something I'm looking for. How would you compare this board to the Evolve Hadean ? Thanks
So, I mean yes I guess you could carry another 12s4p battery on you strapped to your back if you wanted to, the deck too comes off and the battery is in side of that you can unplug and plug another in, but there are so many options of new boards that could give you more range o faster chargers. How dare you are you looking to go in a single ride? 40-50 miles?
@@DrewElia Thanks for your reply. Well, I'm currently doing this with my Evolve GTR (version 1). If I'm in Street setup with two batteries (one in my backpack), I can go up to 80-90Km in one ride if I don't push too hard and stay in Eco. With AT wheels I'm closer to 50-60Km in one go. The good point being that I can charge up the battery not only when connected to the skateboard but also on its own, separately in the backpack. This makes the whole operation really easy when I go back home. What other board model would you recommend that is 2 in 1, allowing Street and AT wheels setup, and swap batteries on the go easily ? Thanks again dude.
it does not have an app, though the remote has a screen that gives you all of your detail, Tripmeter, speed, remote power, board power , speed mode your in and break mode you're in. I find it has everything I need while riding! If you haven't subscribed to the channel please help me out and subscribe if you give the content! Hope that helps!
I'm sold but because I live in the Caribbean it's very difficult to attain first off if I use my Miami forwarding address its 1000 usd just for shipping via air freight and even if I get a forwarding company that uses sea freight at cheapest cost to bypass ridiculous Air freight my next hurdle is spending limit on credit card here is 600 to 800 usd a month if you can even get lucky enough to get a credit card because there is lack of forex and most business close down due to not having the availability to get usd to shop for goods so after spending a month or more going to every shipping agent and finally getting one to ship it to me Al low cost my last hurdle is there payment options only allow for pay pal and credit card which nun are available to me due to geographical locations and limitations and unlike most other companies that accept Western union or bank transfers they don't 😞 my depression is real
Wow, that’s an incredible situation! I’m sorry that shipping costs are that high, I know with large battery packs it’s an insane amount of money to ship.
SOOOOO what are your thoughts? do you think that Meepo has created a ultimate beast? I personally think that bang for the buck that they have bumped up the entire competition across the feild! let me know what you think!
Def appreciate how they have shifted the price range for these level of boards.
You should try cloud wheels
I have a set! Tried them on my WowGo at2+ video, they are nice I’ve come to appreciate them more after they wear in a little over time! If you haven’t yet subscribe to the channel for more content coming out!

Iv had for almost a year now and yeah it’s still the best board. I’m the king of the shreds. 🎉 I found out some really cool tricks and mods to keep it fresh, and there are some slicks boards out there but, nothing compares to the hurricane. Get it with the gear drive. 🙌 🎉
Great to hear!
Try it on T/B 110mm wheels with meepo's 40t pully 28 miles im 240LB. Slightly less agile / but much more stable / more comfortable under foot & ive run it on 83/85/90/97mm wheels. The 110s are a good compromise between the A/Ts & a more range street set up. I have the only spare battery in the UK at the moment so can swap hence over 1500 miles since Jan. I had a Trampa & this thing runs it so close on everything apart from off road. Mine was £1500 the evolve H was £2400 a £900 ($1200) differance for what are basicly the same things ive no regrets on getting the HURRICANE

I didn't want a Hurricane because I love my Zeus and to me it has it all. But now that there is the Hurricane ultra coming into play with so many options, especially the bamboo one that i'm so interested in (and also because I will never buy Evolve hadean because I hate Evolve, I have tried Hadean and it's not amazing at all), I probably gonna go for the Ultra.
The Zeus is a great board! Only rode it a couple of times but it’s nice! With the ultra coming out it’s hard not to take notice and see that Meepo is adding a lot of value to their premium market place. If you dig the content please subscribe I have more content coming out weekly!
I mean the ownboard Zeus pro.. but I have the hurricane and it's unbelievable compared to my others boards that I have had.
I’ve never owned the Zeus Pro, I’ve ridden a bunch of them and enjoy the ride feel though! Thanks for checking out the channel my man! Make sure to subscribe and check out more of the videos I’ve done!
When we seeing you do a euc review? 😅 dope video bro!
Brooooo I need to see if a company will lend me one! Im trying to see if I can start a series on "how to ride a euc" know anyone ?!?
I can always meet up on my days off to bring you some of my wheels to review.. I have 16x, v11, v12 and recently got the RS with the molicel battery pack.
Great video. Could you compare to the hurricane ultra?
Stay tuned to the channel, I have something coming!
I have the Hurricane and Voyager X -
Voyager is a much more stable and confident board.
Double kingpin trucks on Hurricane make me nervous (felt those wobbles before)
I like the double kingpin set up but your right at higher speeds it can wobble, but with the riptide set up you will feel a huge difference, if you haven't subscribed to the channel and enjoy the content please do so my man!!
also check out the voyager video I published today as well!
@@DrewElia good to hear was just gonna pull the trigger on the Riptide box setup. Did you go for the softer duro for the front? And did you go for the reccomened one for your weight or did you go one harder
I have the harder setup being over 200lbs I feel like they know what they are talking about when it comes to this stuff.
@@DrewElia awesome done just got them ordered - its probably the most reccomened upgrade that's been suggested to me
Average eskate reviews named the hurricane the worst value for money of all boards of 2023.
That’s an interesting statement, while there are a lot of companies who have started and given a lot more value for money, I don’t belive that the hurricane is the worst board for value. I still have mine with several hundred of Miles on it. It’s been through so many different iterations from gear drives, belt drives, tkp, dkp, ShocBoard systems. But it’s always been there. So saying it’s the worst value for money seems to be an interesting statement overall. Is it top pick in 2024, not exactly. A lot of companies offer more bang for buck but that board blazed the way for a lot of people who got into eskate
Nice. What is your take on the Meepo DKP vs TKP
Apples vs oranges, I love a DKP with a proper bushing set up, carving is a lot of fun. TKP or RKP is great for stability and high speeds, you can carve on it but something about the DKP that gives you a surfing/snowboarding feel
What about you? Have you tried both?
Ok I need help
I'm looking for my first E
It has to be off road range is 1st speed 2nd comfort 3rd I also am a biggen 250lb what are your thoughts for a board after all you've seen and done?
Ugh, there are a lot of options in this category, if you’re primarily going off road than I’d start looking into gear drive boards, exway atlas pro, acedeck NYX z1, meepo hurricane carbon, tynee explorer, propel endeavor pro, are just a few that come to mind. For off roading capabilities, they all have good range 25-35 miles but off roading is really hard on a battery, so range will suffer. Any of these boards can support your weight and they are all pretty comfortable some more than others for the flexibility. Sorry that doesn’t directly answer the question but it opens up the conversation!
@@DrewElia almost never off road how ever dirty and heavy crappy transitiony does that make sense
Nice video man. Can you swap the battery for another one you could keep in a backpack ? (not talking about the surge battery option). Also could this additional battery be charged without being inside the Hurricane board ? I currently have the Evolve GTR (v1) with 2 batteries, and it's quite easy to swap them and charge them independently of the skateboard, and it's something I'm looking for. How would you compare this board to the Evolve Hadean ? Thanks
So, I mean yes I guess you could carry another 12s4p battery on you strapped to your back if you wanted to, the deck too comes off and the battery is in side of that you can unplug and plug another in, but there are so many options of new boards that could give you more range o faster chargers. How dare you are you looking to go in a single ride? 40-50 miles?
@@DrewElia Thanks for your reply. Well, I'm currently doing this with my Evolve GTR (version 1). If I'm in Street setup with two batteries (one in my backpack), I can go up to 80-90Km in one ride if I don't push too hard and stay in Eco. With AT wheels I'm closer to 50-60Km in one go. The good point being that I can charge up the battery not only when connected to the skateboard but also on its own, separately in the backpack. This makes the whole operation really easy when I go back home. What other board model would you recommend that is 2 in 1, allowing Street and AT wheels setup, and swap batteries on the go easily ? Thanks again dude.
Does it have an app
it does not have an app, though the remote has a screen that gives you all of your detail, Tripmeter, speed, remote power, board power , speed mode your in and break mode you're in. I find it has everything I need while riding! If you haven't subscribed to the channel please help me out and subscribe if you give the content! Hope that helps!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet broski
I'm sold but because I live in the Caribbean it's very difficult to attain first off if I use my Miami forwarding address its 1000 usd just for shipping via air freight and even if I get a forwarding company that uses sea freight at cheapest cost to bypass ridiculous Air freight my next hurdle is spending limit on credit card here is 600 to 800 usd a month if you can even get lucky enough to get a credit card because there is lack of forex and most business close down due to not having the availability to get usd to shop for goods so after spending a month or more going to every shipping agent and finally getting one to ship it to me Al low cost my last hurdle is there payment options only allow for pay pal and credit card which nun are available to me due to geographical locations and limitations and unlike most other companies that accept Western union or bank transfers they don't 😞 my depression is real
Wow, that’s an incredible situation! I’m sorry that shipping costs are that high, I know with large battery packs it’s an insane amount of money to ship.
