    Thank you @viberide for sending me this product to review and check out! I hope to see more from you guys, I still think one or two more iterations before this board is perfect.

    The website says the brake strength is adjustable so I wonder how strong it gets.

    Finally a detailed, fair review of this product. Well done, Sir. Another question that will need to be answered is how well the mechanism will hold up over time and if/how it affects the bearings or wheels. Also, do parts of the brake mechanism wear and need to be replaced, analogous to car brake pads?

    • @viberide
      @viberide 10 місяців тому +3

      Yo! It's ceramic so wears down superrr slow, can replace it but most people usually won't have to during the lifecycle.

  • @andrewkariuki8888
    @andrewkariuki8888 Рік тому +6

    One more thing to add...the board has a very slight amount of resistance cause of the brakes, so it feels "heavy" while pushing, sort of like something is pulling you back

    Hey Abuga!
    Thanks for the vid, glad you had fun on it!
    It seems like your main concern was the braking power - which can be turned up! The pedal angle can be adjusted giving the brake more force for hills and steeps.(and brake pad gap can be adjusted too, though that has less effect) We've also kept this in mind as we are launching our new completes and kits this spring.
    You also said it's not quite worth the price at 360, we plan to keep this model BrakeBoard under 250 going forward (instead of 350) and have other BrakeBoards as cheap as 140 this spring. The Brake Kit will also always be around ~$150 instead of 250, and we'll have a new style of brake as cheap as $80 this spring.
    As for the board/wheels and stuff, we hear the feedback and have some epic changes coming this spring! Thanks for taking the time!

      HELLO AM from the UK...Love brake vibe works brilliant for my landyachtz evo, only thing I can't waitbfor you to do, make truck where I can put my own wheels as I'll love to have bigger size and wider wheel for speed. But again great product you guys done well.

    The brake responsiveness is adjustable, i tightened mine alot in hopes it stopped the pedal from rattling, it didnt but my brake is very strong and i have to feather it to brake gradually, id fly off if i fully stepped on it. Also the spray on grip tipe wears down smooth very quickly

  • @Alabalik66
    @Alabalik66 Рік тому +2

    Thanks for reviewing this, I've seen a lot of arguments about the Viberide. I wonder if the braking has to be gradual because if it stopped very quickly maybe you'd be thrown forwards off the board?

    • @LongboardingExplained
      @LongboardingExplained  Рік тому +2

      Thanks for checking it out!
      Yes I think so too, too much braking power and you can be thrown off. But also I think bigger brakes on bigger wheels that you can then gradual dig into board could still work well 🤔
      But certainly not having anything to hold on to limits the braking potential a lot.

      @viberide 10 місяців тому +2

      Yes - not for extreme downhill and those who slide! We love to go fast and are pro athletes in other sports, so we love thrills. This is the best cruiser board, the ~5% of people who slide and do downhill though are the few people who don't benefit from the brakes!
      We're know that once every everyday cruiser gets to try it, and there are more board styles that everyone can like, a majority of people will choose BrakeBoards

    They should make this system compatible with electric longboard wheels since there's already a bunch of those.
    Seems like they must've limited the braking strength so people wouldn't launch themselves off their boards like wheelbite, or maybe so the brakes don't get super hot and melt wheels or seize bearings.

    geeze awesome review this is exactly what i was lookin for. i wish there was a product that wasnt so integrated into the trucks/wheels. maybe im an idiot but i struggle to see how you couldnt just have a mechanism that applies a mass of rubber or somethin directly to the ground that can be replaced after it wears down.

  • @krinkedsurface
    @krinkedsurface 4 місяці тому

    Is it possible to use the board and have a better braking power with the brake on the front instead of the rear? Is it comfortable to stomp the brake pedal with the front foot? Maybe it’ll brake better because the weight is transferred forward when you brake…

    I am curious: Have you tried riding the long board the other way around, with the brake in front? On bikes the front brake is significantly stronger than the back brake, and I can imagine the same thing happening here.

    Why don’t you check out some electric boards? Now a days they are affordable for belt drives. You could practice downhill stuff on flat ground up to 40mph depending on the board.

  • @insanogeddon
    @insanogeddon 5 місяців тому

    Like 10 YEARS ago you could get a black knock-off penny board with a braking system and SO glad I didn't.
    Seems it hasn't changed from here where /when it didn't let you bomb hills safely earlier, slowed progress, increased weight, and got people in dangerous situations they weren't ready for even tripping people trying to brake and corner with the peg catching + less grip.
    Flat boardwalk cruising was okay to look like you didn't need to run of board when starting out I suppose.

    Thanks for having a breakdown of a questionable product with even more questionable marketing!
    It was never intended for more serious riders, but as you said, people with disabilities or old riders might be a little safer on a board like this.
    And maybe they improve and really get a nice product at some point!

  • @fochi88
    @fochi88 5 місяців тому

    Apply same logic with vehicle brakes. If you drive your car downhill and are constantly on the brakes your brakes heat up and become less effective. Common knowledge is front brakes make up for more than half the power and this set up gives you only rear brakes I love mine and understand the limitations.
