Great review as always . This skateboard is what the Meebo city rider should have been plus the handle they abandoned that for some reason and made another belt driven board to shove it in their lineup
Wow.. I have a Meepo v1. Love it. Saw your video on the Meepo Vader and fell in love but damn, the Ranger x5 is enticing. I'm in the market for a new board. Now I'm conflicted. I'm an old dude, so flex , range and visibility at night is import to me.
The controls on backfire are the best the Meepo city rider was a total different experience acceleration was better on the meepo but backfire is so much smoother and brakes are way better imo
One of worst part about that remote design is where reverse switch is located at. Back-Fire hasn't moved that switch to convenient locations still to this day (prefer to be right under the scroll wheel). Finger scanner on remote seem like pointless gimmick to me as often times it'd fail to register.
Has any one tried using the sledge hammer battery and esc on ranger X3 or X5? Customer service says it’s not possible… if only you could have longer range on the X3 is all I am upset about because off road I am only getting 13 miles
Love my Ranger X5 . It’s my favorite board and the best I’ve ridden in a long time. Best street cruiser and a smooth ride.
Can the blinking white lights be turned off?

The thing that confuses me is offroad and DKP trucks. You want more stability offroad. I wanted to try this board at ESK8CON but i never got a chance.
Oh wow! Such praise for a board a lot of people have dissed.
