5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE. But so many butts.

k. · April 18, 2023

TL/DR bottom line:I absolutely love this skateboard. Tons of power, great control, and portable enough to carry around on my skateboard backpack. AND WORKS GREAT AS A SKATEBOARD EVEN ONCE THE BATTERIES DIE. That checks all of my boxes for the best most portable EV skateboard on the planet. (I even choose it over my OneWheel half the time for cruising around downtown.)I've been waiting to review this until I put some serious mileage on it. Now that I have, I guess it's time. First things first: I've been skateboarding on and off my whole life. I've never been that good, but I have decent balance... and this thing was terrifying at first. That's normal- don't give up!Some key pointers that I still use every ride, mostly based around safety:1) Safety is KEY to having fun- even the adrenaline-based kind. So please wear a helmet. And read on.2) Keep more weight on the back foot - if you hit a crack or a rock with these relatively small tires and you are too weight-forward, you will go flying off. And on that note, watch out for cracks and rocks and sticks and things. This is in no way an all-terrain skateboard. Watch where you are going, but always keep an eye on the pavement too.3) I know I'll get disagreement about this, but never ever go 20+mph. Flying off an object (board, bike, motorcycle) at 20 is enough to kill, depending on where and how and what you hit. I have 4th gear shut off in my app, so I'm never even tempted to use it. Even 3rd gear on flat road gets up too fast, in my opinion. The tires are just too small and can't handle obstacles, like bikes or scooters or even OneWheels can.A few things I don't like:1) The app has no option to track your route, which is sad. I would love that ability.2) Turning the remote on sometimes fails to turn the board on, and you have to hit the board's power button manually. Not a huge deal, but annoying.3) The app sometimes loses my setting to lock out gears (as I talked about above), and I have to re-enable it. Not sure if that's my app's problem, or what. Might be a fluke.4) I have constant fear of remote control battery loss. I'm always checking it, lest I am barreling downhill before I realize the remote is dead, and can't stop until I crash and explode. There is obviously no way around that with a remote-controlled board, so I don't know why I'm complaining. I just wish there was a solution, like it charged wirelessly from the board while you were riding. Ridiculous, I know. On the bright side, it lasts a long time, and warns you of its percentage when you turn it on.Lastly, being able to carry an extra battery that hot-swaps out in seconds is incredible (and not super common), but they are so expensive I haven't bought one yet. This thing already goes so far on a single charge I haven't needed it anyway.**UPDATE 2024**The old app is gone, and the new app is so much worse and will not work at all. Just go check out the reviews on the Google Play store. Total crap. Very sad. BUT... I'm not taking off a star because the skateboard itself is still almost perfect, and I don't care about the app.And I got an idea for my constant remote battery dying fear - some kind of beep or buzz on the remote, like a panic mode saying "remote is going to die, bail and save yourself!" That would make me feel so much safer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing board.

This is one amazing board right here. Replaceable battery (which is one of the first things to die on most of my boards) so that you can go farther. Great cloudwheel options are available, I'd recommend the 105mm for this size board, although I'll admit I haven't tried the 120s.With the cloudwheels, you can basically go off-road if you want. You can swap to the riot drivetrain pretty easily if you want. The board is grippy, the shock absorbing grip tape has been durable so far, and the overall quality of the rest of the build is great. Just know, this is a heavy board, and not as comfortable to carry as others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only Buy An Exway

A.C. · August 17, 2023

You already know why your buying this board, it is the number one electric skateboard in the world right now. It has no competition, no one else offers the same quality and features at the same price. Im not even aware of another board that has a changeable battery other than Exway boards. This is why it is so important to buy an Exway and is the exact reason why I picked an Exway. If you watch videos online, everyone says the same thing. They are the only company with good customer service. Bolo messed up my order and I reached out to Exway, they had me a new board shipped the next day and at my door step the day after that. They also fully refunded my money before they got the other board back. No other company does that. In an age where customer service is just about dead, it seems like customer service is the cornerstone to Exway. They will bend over backward to get you your board and make sure you are happy with it. they respond to your messages within hours not days. just remember this, if something happens to your board or something goes wrong with your order you better be buying from a company that provides good customer service. My experience with Exway was a 10 out of 10. Also the board is even better in real life. extremely fast, can go 12 miles all day long and climbs up hills as if it is on flat ground. it is extremely easy to program the board and when you get one it is so hard to get off it. when I am traveling across my college campus, I take the long way now just to make the ride lasts. It use to take me 15 min to get from one side of campus to the other, now I can go from one side of the school to the other in 2.5 min, that is how fast the board is. Only buy an Exway board, there is no one who can compete with their product!
