Hey buddy! I’m 58 years young and just ordered my first electric skateboard. I always had a board under my arm when I was a kid. Now I’m super excited. Love your videos. Super educational and well spoken. Keep on trucking.
Get some Ty!
4:25 ... I love the invisible selfie stick that still can cast a shadow. Great party trick!
i thought he had a drone with him for the longest time
@@jacob.peters same wtf
Its a 360 camera
I just went to the comments to see.if anyone else noticed
I been looking at it da whole time and i am confused af, how he do it?
His city is like Skate 2 when you turn the traffic down
Truth!
I've seen a lot of channels use 360 footage while on a board but this video has some of the best 360 footage I've seen yet. Really smooth, really natural-feeling.
I was in the market for an electric board and I was going to pay around this much for my friends second hand boosted board but I didn’t like the look, but the fact that I can just slap this on my current cruiser is amazing. This is a must for me
First I was gonna say your camera man is dope. I realized... Also seriously this thing is way faster then I expected. I was thinking 15-17 mph without knowing anything about it, was a very pleasant shock
Imagine driving in cruise mode and you drop your remote.
just pick you're board up
@@gyatrizzlord that makes no sense
Push the power button on the bottom
Haha! The board will actually stop as there is a safety feature in place. Basically, when the remote gets disconnected the kit will gradually start breaking until it brings you to a full stop in about 10-15 seconds.
Hahahaha
Hey man its always great watching your vids. Also, I like the fact that you added that mini speed meter for your video. You should always have that every time you do a speed test :)
The shadow or the invisible self-stick was blowing my mind before I read the info below vid.
Awesome diy kit. Super clean and simple 💯👍
You make the best skateboard videos 🔥
This looks really good they checked alot of boxes!!
Because of this video I purchased the bundle deal and now have 2 of these kits and I absolutely love my boards, I've got one on a long board and a short board
This is by far the greatest looking UA-cam video I ever watched. You just inspired me to engage in the art of film. Thank you for this! Instant sub
Never been on a skateboard nor own one you got me hooked!!
Looks like a solid eak8 option for 2020
A plug and go and a direct drive. Nice!!
Wow! So nice bro... I cant wait for 4 wheel drive!
this kit is genius! rip boosted board
Hey Ronny!!!!!
I am absolutely in love with that Anonymous Tummyulous model of board. That deck is sweet looking. I honestly never heard of the brand being a Florida boy. But watched all the videos and will keep it in mind as my long board is getting rather beat up. And now that I am 45 years old I am entertaining the electric skate idea and watching all your reviews...... I subscribed if it helps!!!!!
Keep up the great work! How about a multi kit comparison. I'm impressed with the Revel Kit and 120 foamy wheels for the blown sand piles around here. I wouldn't need much of a high end complete board. I usually just push my way to the beach, watch the boy shred some waves, remind the boy mom said dinner is at 5 then catch a quick beer with a buddy. LOL.....
My kid would be so jelly if I just electric rolled in, I would need to buy the 4 well drive kit as I know he would want one also. LOL ........ Do you have any other comparable kit reviews in the future coming up? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work.

I only heard about this kit a couple days ago so great timing on this vid. Can't wait to hear about the 4wd setup!!
Would love to hear about how you like the remote compared to the more traditional wowgo/backfire style. Could you do some closeups of how you hold it in your hand and how it feels to transition that long throw from acceleration to breaking? Would also love if you could do a torque/acceleration test in the 4wd setup with some big wheels - something like 105+mm. Very curious if 4wd with big wheels would beat out a wowgo 3 with the stock 90mm wheels in turbo mode.
@@gregholland11 Hi Greg: I can answer most of your questions. For 4WD with big wheels, watch this...ua-cam.com/video/JrtHKtUgiTU/v-deo.html
In my experience on the forums, almost every Revel Kit owner prefers the Kit remote over all others. Its a fantastic remote and that's coming from someone who also owns and loves his two boostedboards.
The 4WD Revel kit is going to beat the vast majority of boards in a 100 to 200 meter race due to its top speed. For a 2WD drag race, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/iX44_m5Tpq0/v-deo.html
The Revel Kit enforces a gentle start so a Boostedboard G2+ will pull ahead for the first second. But the 2WD Revel kit blows past it before the 100m is up. For a longer race, its like watching the road runner pull away from Willie Coyote. There are not too many boards that could beat a 4WD kit except for a custom built monster DIY board or a Lacroix. With the 2WD Revel Kit I've raced a few Evolves including the fastest evolve models and Evolves with motor upgrades that are suppose to be much faster than the stock GT Evolves. The Revel kit wins for multiple reasons including its strong acceleration curve, higher top speed, fool proof start and high speed stability. I suppose an expert rider on an evolve might win a 100M if he could handle the full power of a GT off the start. I doubt even an expert on the fastest Evolve could beat a 4WD revel kit. I think a Raptor might be able to beat a 4WD kit in a short race but only maybe. It could be a tie -- or the 4WD Kit might even win. I've been looking everywhere to race a Raptor. I just can't find them in my city. The 4wD kit with larger wheels has a higher top speed than a Raptor so in a longer race, the Kit would certainly win.
Large wheels do tone down the acceleration of a 4WD kit just slightly. But the larger wheels also add alot of top speed. The Larger wheels on the 4WD kit also transform the brakes into something wonderful. The Revel kit offers three different brake settings. 100% is perfect for 2WD. 70% is a good setting to use to get yourself accustomed to the stronger 4WD brakes but you will want to switch up to 100% as soon as you have master shifting your weight. But the 110 mm wheels soften the 4WD's 100% brakes to perfection.
Regarding the Wowgo, if it can't beat a BoostedBoard G2 + in a 100m race then it can't even beat a 2WD Revel Kit. I don't know if the turbo mode helps the Wowgo to do that. But the Wowgo 3 top speed in turbo mode is 39 kph. My 2WD revel Kit drag race shows the Revel kit finishing the race at 45 kph. So my gut tells me the Wowgo 3 could not beat either the 2WD or 4WD kit in a 100 m race. Reviewing my own video footage, the 4WD kit on 110 mm wheel reaches its top speed of 53 kph in 15 seconds, so it would probably be doing very close to top speed at the end of a 100M race. This is all based on a 215 pound rider. So a lighter rider would likely be finishing a 100 m race in 9 or ten seconds
I'm looking forward to trying this kit with those hybrid AT rough stuff wheels from Slick Revolution.
Had the kit for about a month. It's a beast!!
Hi, where did you get the kit ? The link does not work.
@@johndaviddeturris6997 seems to be working now
@@BadC0 I'll check . Thanks.
Clearance or debris issues?
44 kph
Sheit, I'd be going the same speed as the cars on my street...
If the roads weren't so sheit here in Toronto...
There's 2 seasons, pothole season, and construction season!
So rad, I so want the 4WD
I really like this, very professional, clean and polite 🥂🎉. Also you can see the shadow part of your camera which I thought you left in for visual ride effects . Cheers 🥂. Magi Poet
I run the revel kit with extented battery, it's impressive, accurate, love the remote, silent motors and free roll, very fast, I wait my 97mm abec 11 for rough asphalt
I slapped 120mm foamie wheels with the 4wd revel. Video on it out soon!
Thanks for helping me get into longboarding
Mellow is cool but DAMN Direct drive ?! Love this
Right??
Should have taken it up Fort William Parkway for your uphill test. Thanks for this review it got me stoked!!!!
👍 Awesome review Ronnie.
9:26 yall aint even ready for the sound affects
Pimp video. Gotta get one of them systems for a bomb ass deck. Thanks Ronnie.
Amazing. But wait, did those wheel just went from Black to Purple Orangatang?
Wow that's crazy speed 👏👍
*_DAMN! I got to get one of these for my ducktail longboard!_*
Just bought this kit (I know they're backed up for weeks/months, but got it new off ebay so it will be here in a couple days suckas). Thanks this video is very very helpful, especially going through the remote controls. My only concern is putting it on a drop-through board, since I'm using a Tan Tien and have only ever used drop-through trucks with it.
Jealous you get to try out so much stuff. This industry is so "early stage" right now, trying to do research is damn impossible, and you pretty much have to order and hope for the best. That's why I stuck with a deck I already owned and love and got this kit instead of buying one from China that LOOKS sick, but you never know.
Anyway, It looks like Revel, unlike countless other dead companies, has actually delivered something usable.
Nice Vid Ronnie.
revel kit looks to do what the Mellow promised, but actually deliver, and at a reasonable price point.
Mellow is a better product, but when you try to make it in Germany obviously the price will be higher...Can't compare Chinese with German..it's a sovereign thing..
Andrew Freeman why is mellow a better product?
@@andrewfreeman88 How is mellow better? Thinking of getting this or mellow
@@imkester All materials are better the from remote to battery system..will last much longer but also cost a lot more..up to you.
@@andrewfreeman88 I have both kits. Had plenty of issues with my mellow, loosing batteries mid-ride from bumps, stuck motor which made me crash hard, two batteries just died on me. No issues so far on my revel but hadn't put too many miles on it yet so I guess we'll see...
Camera is sick looks like your going fast as heck
Amazing video Ronnie! Would be nice to have these! But I am wondering
can you push the board when it's powered off/when battery dies?
how smooth (or not) is it and how much does this damages this direct drive?
No problem pushing when powered down. Like any lithium powered device, you have to respect the low power warnings. Whether its a chainsaw or a skateboard, when you get a low power warning you need to stop and charge up. You can't just keep squeezing power out of a depleted battery. Also not a good idea to try to push charge for a block and then keep riding. These are forms of battery abuse that will kill any battery.
Love the video and I want to but the kit but would it work for a regular board
So maybe someone already asked this question but which of the two do you think is better overall as a quality polished product that will last: the mellow or the revel? Obviously the specs on the revel are better but the mellow is apparently built super strong. Something pulls me towards the mellow. I already have multiple boards but have wanted a drive system kit for a long time. I've tried the unlimited eon x loaded kit which is super powerful and fun. However the mellow still has something about it very appealing. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
Gotta get this
Can I put them under a canoe an drive it around my neighborhood? I wand a motorized canoe.
You my friend, are thinking big. But canoes are big so I dont think it could happen
Sam Sabo get like 6 sets of these lol
Cool stuff. Boardup do a thing like this where you can buy a motor add-on for their folding longboard.
This looks pretty cool...I always wanted to build my own .How much does it goes for ?
PRETTY AWESOME !!!
I have the old model, and I like that better than the new model bcz the motor is inside of the wheel. It s fast and has a good brakes. The cruiser control and a better battery would be awesome.
Mannnn why doesn’t every other electric skateboard company use this same battery design?? I was talking about this concept with a friend of mine the other day and then before I know it I come across this video. So efficient!
Been wanting to tryout direct drive
Looks badass
Not a fan of the slider but display looks nice
Stay Stoked
Oooof back-ordered! party foul. Well it looks like I have some waiting to do.
How has the kit been? Can you take on steep hills?
Sweet.... looks smooth
That camera work though!
Noticed you used the Insta360 one x, great!!!!!
Great video! This kit looks fantastic. Is that native audio on the Insta360 during your ride??
''slide it in like that and, ooh''
Ronnie - 2019
😂
I have a globe long board with a speaker, would the two on the board and the motor batteries collide and i will need another board?
Excellent review. Have you made the 4x4 board yet?
THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!! Great video. I wish you had mentioned the price and shipping times.
$599 2 weeks
How do you make it where you don't see the selfie stick? nice video =)
that's a cool kit! very reasonably priced also
which camera do you use when riding the skateboard? looks cool
Would it work on a dropthrough or just scrape the bottom a lot?
Nice neighborhood you're on ..no traffic smooth roads wow.. I wanna go there
WOW I was just watching like... this looks familiar. It's totally Cameron Station/Brenman Park. I've been down that same path and it is dope!
Looks impressive :)
How did you film the riding portion?
I have the 4wd kit and it's amazing and I can't recommend it more
No room for rocks on the floor hitting the motors. that will damage motor internally. there's like 1cm gap
I’ll let you know if that ever happens, so far so good
Can you upgrade to a flipsky remote with this kit?!
Any issues with battery disconnecting during a ride?
Love the direct drive kit! Love DIY! And love my DIY set up! It's not the direct drive but it delivers raw torque and power!!
Love your vid
2nd*
Good stuff
What camerasystem you using? Franken cool man
Hei! Can we push easyly when the battery is off? sorry for my english! the wheels motor roll normaly when battery is off?
On the site you can get 2 extended range bundle to make 4WD. It cost $1100. You add that to a long board deck and it should be crazy.
I need a revel kit but in 300$ that would've been perfect
What do you use to film that? i can see the shadow but not the stick
Did you mention the length of that board you mounted the kit/s to? Could you please tell me what length the board is in this review?
Does anyone know if I could use this with a traditional skateboard?
Can you be used on a mini cruiser?
Ronnie what would you recommend more this or the mellow drive for a cruiser style deck
If you're in US get this, better price and support. Dealing with overseas companies is no good
Awesome 💯
When will the 4WD video be out. Would like to see your thoughts on that
I video reviewed the 4WD kit with 110 mm torque boards cloud wheels. 53kph up hill.
ua-cam.com/video/JrtHKtUgiTU/v-deo.html
yeah Ronnie Paul here from Michigan again is that possible to put that thing on a mountain board like a MBS or something like that that's what my mom board is appreciate it if you let me know thank you and bye
4:40 that camera lens and angle is sick
Can you change bushings easisy? Or it's a flaw?
The standard battery is 159Wh, which is right below the IATA and FAA regulation limits.
Finally!!!
Cool but $700 is still too steep for my current price range
True
@@Toenailsyumyum Especially since you need a deck for it
@marko kobe isn’t the shipping bad a lot of people complain or is it fixed
@marko i cant ship meepo products in india 😑
June 2020. This kit is getting some UA-cam play this month, so I saw this video and your other one. You have let us down, Ronnie! You didn't try this on the Eggboard or the BoardUp! Hop to it! Thanks.
how is it pushing on a direct drive?
How well does it push after the battery dies?
....so did you ended up installing the 4-wheel drive?
I'm about to buy a Revel Kit and I was wondering does it come with the arangatang adapters for 4 wheels or do I need to purchase another set of 2 to use all 4 on each truck?
It come with both abec and kegal adapters so if you have orangatang wheels you're good
how bout a review on that selfie stick
Its the best DIY KIT ever!!
I'll get one soon...
