At over 5,500 miles between these boards, it’s become increasingly clear to me that the Exway Wave is still the most packed feature mini esk8 here in late April of 2023!
I really wonder now between this and the Tynee mini pro. The Tynee has a massively larger battery at like 383wh. Plus hub or belt. Also different wheels, plus the off road kit option which is crazy, but you can run 150mm air tires. I mean, from a feature standpoint, the Tynee has everything, unless you want a small battery. The replaceable battery in the Exway looks neat. I dont know about ride or reliability, which are huge.
I’ve ridden boards this shape all my life but as of late been on my first electric board it was a exway x1 max riot. I’m getting this on Friday and gonna have 4-5 batteries my backpack!
Great review, very insightful, really helps out first time buyers like myself get some perspective. Was wondering, what are your thoughts on the Exway Ripple? Seems like a downgraded version of the boards you have, but its a lot lighter, and i'm wondering if it'll make for a better "first eskateboard" for me than the wave.
Hi! I want to buy the Exway Wave, but I've seen many posts on TH-cam and Reddit where users had issue with the brakes locking up at 15-20mph. One person had the battery replaced, but is still experiencing issues. Do you know why this is happening? Has this been resolved? The most recent post I've seen with this issue is from 4 months ago.
I have wave riot and moving by pushing isnt problem with belts on. Not fully freespinning like skateboard, but works good in emergency situations. Im iniciating ride first with push, it saves battery a lot. And 85mm wheels are best option for carving without power.
Are you familiar with Elwing skateboards? They also have removable batteries, but they take a couple minutes to swap (screwed in). French made. Beautiful boards (more of an oldskool look). Top notch customer service, all parts are replacable and in stock.
Yo just thinking about upgrading from boosted mini x, does it worth it if my battery still pretty good? By the way I was lucky enough to get boosted for 300$, so now thinking about selling it and buying exway
I should have watched your review before I bought the RIOT. Now I think the Hub was for me. *Wheels with less friction when no battery *No pebble getting stuck in the bolt * More range
This right here. Some of the options are off by default for exactly the reason you mentioned. For unaware consumers, but you can enable them via the app.
Agree the wave is best in class. The only other product i might compare it to is the revel board kit although it’s not a 1:1 comparison. You can slap the revel board kit on a similar deck and have similar functionality
I must say, having the wave HUB it's just hanging on the wall collecting dust. Don't get me wrong, I actually love the board per-se but the drivetrain is just unridable after barely 100km and a few months. The bearings are basically completely broken and make so much noise, you are not stealth, it's causing the wheels to get hot, you basically need ear protection. It's a shame, even with the IP rating, and me only driving in the rain when it broke over me when I was outside.. Even the tiniest bit of moisture will kill this board until it isn't usable anymore, and it didn't take long. Exway only offered me a discount on a new drivetrain, which stop would be about 200€ which is unacceptable for the price that I paid. And swapping out the bearings is not as straight forward, it you don't have the tools and a press and most importantly, sufficient bearings with the right size and water resistance. I'm really sad seeing it hang there, when thinking how fun it was to ride and how silent it was for a few months when I had it new 😕
100% on the hubs, the exway (hobbywing) hub not reliable at all. Bearings are really hard to replace, one of the worst hub motors. Meepo v3-v4 hubs ate the best, really easy to change the bearings and they last so much longer. Riot wave is the best version to get.
@@smwyler Unfortunately I have to stay with the HUB version, since here in Germany it's illegal to ride these things and I need them to be extra quiet and stealthy :/
Well, I guess people who want a quiet ride experience + everybody who lives in a country where E-Boards are forbidden, which are probably most people. So I'd reverse your question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've had the belt drive Wave for about 3 years. I absolutely love it. Haven't had a single issue with it.
Nice review man ty. The quick swappable battery seems so convenient

Hi Austin! thanx for a great video :) - Whats your view in the Exway Ripple ? Seems like a great value for money board. what you reckon ?
Tynee Mini 3 Pro is out!
I made the mistake of purchasing the Tynee and believing the hype. I'll be seeing and getting the Wave.

What I wouldn’t do for a 220wh battery. Wow, they should bring that back.
The cruise control works if you hold your thumb on the wheel at the speed you want and double tap

Tynee mini pro way better built
What do you think about the new tynee mini 3 pro?

Greeat video!
I agree still in love with mine
Usb port doesnt work for mine either. Its a problem for many people. Also waves have no cruise control, never seen it on their marketing.

How tall are you?

You get it? I wonder how it is compared to boosted mini
@@rayr268 Steve D? A skateboard reviewer said Tynee Mini Pro is exactly a copy of the deck of Boosted Mini X!

* More range
I thought belt usually always gives more range and power?
@@kdude1000 belt uses more power and will give u less range
True on the marketing scam. Thanks for the informative video
I heard you should tap six times to switch to Cruise mode not double taping.
Can I ask you to make extra test?
Did you turn on cruise control on the app?
This right here. Some of the options are off by default for exactly the reason you mentioned. For unaware consumers, but you can enable them via the app.
Very cool video👍 can you make a video about the hollow wheels, and maybe compare them to cloud wheels
th-cam.com/video/sonaoELdhq8/w-d-xo.html Here you go🤙
Ikon edge is ip57 totally submersible. Grab one used since theybare sold out

agree 🔥
just received the riot yesterday without any background on skateboard😂
Hows it turning out?

Who would use a hub motor other than a kid?

So I'd reverse your question ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
😎🧡
Too expensive imo and no cloud wheels option
Tynee mini pro beats it easy, too many paid actors
Almost apples and oranges considering you can’t swap out batteries and or travel with the tiny mini
Hey, nice review! Do you have an email? How do we do business talk?
