ScottD, I received the X1 and have a very important question for you. In my initial two an only ride tests of this board, did you get deep enought into the battery that you reached the low battery vibration? And if so, were you at about three bars on the remote? And if so, did you board just all of sudden shut down? On my first test ride, the low battery indicator hit the controller. About five blocks later the board did a short hesitation and then all of sudden shut down. It actually locked up the rear left wheel and left a skid mark. I obviously ran off the board. I contacted ACEDECK and they asked if had done the update…of which I hadn’t because I knew nothing of the update that needed to be done. I then did the update the next morning. Charged the board. Took the board out for another test ride, and it did the same thing except this time the low battery hit the controller and two seconds (and I do mean two seconds) later the board just died. In both cases the board would not turn on as the battery was dead. I know if both cases the remote indicated there was at least three bars or about 30% of the battery left. I am curious if you saw this in your testing
Wow, it's incredible to see an unknown company coming out with something like this, straight off the bat. Those trucks look like something on a high end custom. On the high speed test it will good to hear your feedback on the "wobble free" claim. Great video👍
Wow what a great share! Just last week I ordered my OwnBoard Zeus Pro and “was” super excited to get it. Now I wish I would have waited! Lol. But of course never heard of this board until now. I definitely would have bought it after seeing your review. Thanks again for the great input!
Scott even though I just bought a Zeus Board Pro last week and it hasn’t came in yet. I may just pull the plug and buy this too lol. I reached out to AceDeck to see if I can use your code for the Free Ares X1 Premium Accessory Kit ($399) for the first 3 people in order of purchase. If I can get that deal I’m buying this board
I'm really looking forward to the range test. I wish you had the 2wd board to see the maximum range for the 14s4p battery, but I guess we'll be able to see how the 4wd board compares to their website specs in real life.
The website and my experience with 4wd vs 2 wheel drive (both with DIY boards and a friends exway atlas) is that the amount of energy or amps pulled from the battery by 4 motors vs 2 motors is almost identical as in it takes as much energy to power 2 motors up to 25 mph and hold at speed as it does for 4 motors to do the same... just as bigger heavier wheels require more juice to rotate the 2 motors on a 2 wheel drive board work overtime where the 4 wheel motors can sip power to achieve the same. I might drop a video that actually demonstrates this with my VESC tool but busy busy now, cheers and ride safe but hard!
Which Board would you consider to be better as in reliability, range , power, and comfort, The Exway Atlas Pro 4x4 or the Acedeck ARES X1 4x4 ? Thanks BTW love your Vids i subscribed
Honestly both are great Acedeck is a little bigger which is nice and they use 6374 motors personally I’d pick the Acedeck but the Atlas is a class act as well
Honestly i think the charging port cover is a good idea...yes it's old school and rubber but this cover has a plug that goes inside the charging port AND also makes a good seal around the port to keep the dust/dirt away. It might be crappy to install but once you will get a feeling of it, you will appreciate the advantage of having a really well protected charging port. Cheers ✌️
@@scottdaviesyoutube There's a trick to closing it Scott, I've found if you bend the rubber cover in half by pinching it, and angle the tab that locks it in place down first, guiding it in, it will slot in effortlessly. It's the only way I've found it to be super easy to close and it's definitely the intended way of doing it. As always, great review!
Timed lunch yesterday for 2.00 . Devo Scott . . . Nice looking board . Looove the rims . So main ? Is the board programmed through the remote. Thanks for your time and effort 👌
Hey Scott, helluva board mate n great review. Looking fwd to the other tests. The production value of your vids just gets better n better, thanks for taking the time to make them. I'm fairly new to Brisbane, I look at your vids n think, where is that? Is it possible that you can upload the route you take on your vids? Enjoy n stay safe mate.
Hey Scott great video. This board really looks good. Really thinking of getting it. Already own the Ownboard Zues (Not Pro), in your opinion is it worth getting rid of it and getting the Aries X1? Besides the power compared to the Zues, being that their both TKP, is there a big difference between the two on how it rides?
This one feels like it carves a lot more, They are 11’ wide so that helps I think you have two options Get this sell the Zeus Or Upgrade esc in Zeus to Zeus Pro esc Message me for a link to the Zeus esc and I’ve got small discount code for oG Zeus owners
Just got ours yesterday and wow, it has AMAZING power doesn’t it? Agreed on the charge port too. The acceleration wants me to go race everything around haha. Nice work 🤙
Great video as always! What about the 2wd version would it perform as GOOD? and why would you want the bulky 4WD? Other than hill climbing would it eat more battery as well?
4WD is really what I’d call their Race Spec, no other production in that price range could touch it, Yes 4Wd eats a lot more battery, they estimated 45km range on 4Wd and more for 2Wd
Also, i havet ridden any 4wd boards. But my eovan gets a but loose on grassy/off road surfaces, especially when going up steep hills. Having a 4wd would give you much better performance/traction on loose/slippery surfaces. There is no perfect board for all scenarios. If all you do is cruise the pavement - then 2WD is the go!
@@scottdaviesyoutube can you confirm with me that this board is 10mm axles not 8mm that's what I seen. So harder to find suitable bearings as it's not mainstream skate component. My ecomobl is 10mm axles and have trouble finding bearings.
Hey Scott, I'm building a board with the Bustin Sportster 35 deck and I'm looking for some good trucks to throw on. I'd prefer some TKP trucks but I can't seem to find anyone that sells them but other than TKP what trucks/brands would you suggest?
Hi Scott, I was about to buy zeus pro and this came up :) could you help me out choosing between zeus pro and this one (2wd). Is there significant difference in acceleration? I am using eboard for commuting mainly and prefer stability doing 40+ kmh most of the time.
@@jasongriffis4148 Hi I picked Zeus Pro, mainly because it was 450 usd cheaper. Ares might have a bit more power/torque, but I do not think it justifies price difference.
Hi Daniel YES, you can, but if you want to do that you’ll also need to pop the front belts off other wise it will kill Your range as the unpowered wheels will be spinning belts , motors and gears
@@scottdaviesyoutube Thanks for the anwser. So if i take out rhe front belts. And only use the rear motors can i expect the same range like the 2wd ? Do you plan to make a range test vid in both 2wd and 4wd ?
@@scottdaviesyoutube hi did you do a range and speed test in 4wd and 2wd after removing the belts? I weigh about 90 kg, I wonder how many km I will travel. Provide a link to the test video or write your results.
Hmmmm it’s quite close I prefer Ace cells and Ace deck length Also their acceleration curve is Bert nice. The Atlas has some great features as well like the App and the battery extender
What do you honestly think about going 2wd over let’s say a Zeus Pro? The latter being like 1600$ so much cheaper now. Since I don’t need extreme torque and off-road capabilities of a 4wd.
Hey Scott. Thanks foe the video. Great looking board. If you nip just a little off the end of the nib on the underside of the plug of the charge port cover it should close easier.
⚡ *I love a nice loong esk8 review!* ⚡ Awesome edits 😂 yeaah it defo looks like snakeskin, very unique. Premium power!! For their first gen, looks like they knocked it outta the park 🤙🏼
Can't wait to see this one. Going to do a new board for the fall and was thinking about that new Boundmotor with the giant battery but worried about weight. This thing is beautiful. Would likely go 2WD though.
@@scottdaviesyoutube Scott, is there any way of knowing if those 3 discount codes have been spent? I'm seriously considering taking the plunge on this thing. It looks amazing.
@GeeKIller I was trying to remove a little rock that fell into mine, tweezers found out the hard way it was live. just remember the BMS is i series with the battery and socket and will cut out if needed (assuming it works properly)
Big call..."best you have ridden!". Even better than the propel endeavour you got the max range test on? I thought the independent suspension of the propel would be more stable.
yea man, best I’ve ever ridden, The Endevor is close to un beatable off road that’s for sure but for all round round quality/ speed/ handling/ quality / Raw power / this is the new bench mark for me. The Endevor 2 looks nice but I’ve never tested it so don’t really know how it performs ! Cheers Scott
Scott,, I'm confused. You say it's 14s 4p, 870 watt hours with the molicel p42a cells. But the Zues is using the exact same molicel p42a cells except in 13s4p and it has 898 watt hours. I don't understand?? Did I mess up something?
Does anyone know what the import duties on this board will be? 10% GST, are there any other duties? I just imported a spare battery and the extra duties were about 8%, plus 10% GST.
These brands use a shipping agent and cover all the additional costs, it’s quite different from Future Motion where you are responsible for all the fees and gst
I’m interested in the review from another UA-camr and his reaction to the new 4WD Hammer Sledge. I was dead set on buying it (I have a Hammer) but like you he fell in love with the Ares X1. He jokingly proposed marriage to it he loved it that much.
Hmmm, thinking I will get one of these as a backup to the Onewheel XR. I love the Onewheel, but the range is not so great. Has anyone got a Onewheel and an eskate? Unsure what the feeling of an eskate is compared to a onewheel, i never rode an eskate, but have 8,000km on the onewheel. Wondering if eskate is as fun as the onewheel.
I think a huge negative about this board is the charge time. In Kami Juniu's review, he said it took over 6hours to fully charge! The Zeus Pro w/ the p42a takes 3.5 hours max. Other than that, seems like a high performance board board , with really sexy looking custom trucks, just wish they would have kept it premium with a better charger.
@@scottdaviesyoutube I've been doing 75 miles a day since I got it last week, did 100 miles this past Tuesday, it never takes more than 3.5 hours and its full charged. It says it's a 5amp charger. I ride till its down to 1 bar and lagging. I have not completely drained it, but I can't imagine it would take over 4hours to charge it completely drained. I got the board last week and have 500+ miles on the odometer , trying to hit 1k by next week. My point is they really should offer a much better charger for such a high performance/capacity battery.
Quick connects leading to the motors is super cool. Concave looks a bit wild near the trucks for my taste - I ride way back since I ride short boards primarily.
Yea those connectors are great, The concave is not as aggressive as it looks I think the shine of the Carbon and the grip makes it look more concave than it is, I live quite a flat deck and I had no issues with this this shape
Thanks for the review Scott, good video but I'm not liking. You have emphasized a lot on the ride feel of this board, a lot of personal opinions, more like you are marketing this board. However it being a new product, would be nice to see some more close ups of what a potential buyer is getting, the trucks, the bushings, the drive system etc. Personally i'm not feeling this board, the price point is too high for a company that has no previous history. I would not spend well over $2000 on a board from a company that has no customer service history, no long term product performance history, nothing besides a nice looking board and a lot of great sounding claims.
I'm not affiliated in any way with Scott or AceDecks, but for my two cents, if you just look at the quality of the materials used and compare the quality of components (eg. those trucks are not cheap trucks) to other higher end production board companies, the size of the battery, the fact that they built their own custom ESC. I can tell these guys are trying to be serious contenders in the esk8 market. Personally I've been looking for a 14s deck to come out in a production board for a long time. Unfortunately I just finished building my own 14s4p deck which cost me over $3500 and I had to build my own molicel 42a battery as well. The battery pack alone will cost you almost half the board cost. If I had to buy a new production board today or recommend one to a friend, my top two choices would be between this deck for speed and carving or the propel endeavor pro 2 for it's comfort and 5p battery range. Saying all that though, I'm really not sure how they are getting 65km range on a 4p battery, especially when I'm only getting about 40km on mine (although I do cruise fairly aggressively), but I'm supremely interested in watching a range test on a 2wh version to see what it can really do.
As I understand it, the level of the ESK8 industry depends on the level of manufacturing in the supply chain and the product manager's understanding of the product. It is said that a group of electric skateboarders started the brand together, and they are not from outside of the industry. But they claim to have developed the controller or ESC themselves, which is something to look forward to. This is a good news for the industry because there are not so many ESC brands for mass production at present.
@@VllKlNG The range based on different speed and situation，I found another Review that the range almost 50Km on 4WD，but the rider weight only 65Kg it is said.
Charlie I'm going to be real with you mate, the specs speak for themselves. If you can't look at the quality of the trucks, the batteries, the deck, and not see how this absolutely dumps on every other board that is available then I can't convince you that Scott isn't trying to sell this board, it's genuinely as amazing as he is saying.
Range will be disappointing. It's only 870 wh. The board ways 40 lbs. My Kaly xl40 has a 1360wh battery and I get about 40 miles of range. This will be abysmal for a 2500 dollar board. If you're actually riding the board...like above 20mph the whole time....you'll be lucky to get 20 miles out of it with your weight. They should've made the deck a little thicker, and actually put a good size battery pack in there. 870wh is abysmal. That's going to be the weak point of this board. Should've charged 2600 for the board and put a bigger pack in there. Also...when are you gonna try a Kaly or a Lacroix? If this board impresses you, a Kaly or a Lacroix will blow your mind.
Tried a Lacroix, hated it, wanted to like it but it’s so far from a skateboard it’s more like a go cart not my style Kaly: I was going to order one and asked around and heard a few horror stories about quality, that might not be a issue for usa based people but being in Australia a broken / faulty board would be a headache 🤕
@@scottdaviesyoutube that's weird. Kaly is known for the opposite. Massively more reliable than a Lacroix. Never have any issues with mine and the build quality is insanely good. It's a different kind of board. It isn't really good for low speed turning and carving. It's more for wide open street carving. It's an ungodly experience. I highly recommend it.
Yea if I ever see one here I’ll try but just too risky to ship to Australia. Plus the exchange rate makes it a very very very expensive board plus GST, shipping and import tax Hope to try one one day 😊
@@scottdaviesyoutube yeah that makes sense. Ernesto is a 1 man show but his customer service is crazy good. Answers his phone. Does video conferences to explain things. Endlessly impressed eith the product and service. Way better than Lacroix with all of their connectivity issues and gear drive issues. You'll be mindblown by a Kaly...believe me. Thr hoyt puck at first was weird and foreign to me. And the deck shape arched like that was also weird and foreign. Once I got a lot of miles, both grew on me. I now love the hoyt puck and the deck shape with the wings is nice. Definitely has a big board feel to it though...for sure.
This fucking. . . . ummmm The mouse pad poster inside is a direct copy of Atlas Carbon's packaging design. The Deck structure is also a complete plagiarism.
@Vic Zeng This isn't an english assignment. Everyone takes inspiration from everyone, and yet this board has managed to blow every other board out of the water. Is it copying if you do it better?
ScottD, I received the X1 and have a very important question for you. In my initial two an only ride tests of this board, did you get deep enought into the battery that you reached the low battery vibration? And if so, were you at about three bars on the remote? And if so, did you board just all of sudden shut down? On my first test ride, the low battery indicator hit the controller. About five blocks later the board did a short hesitation and then all of sudden shut down. It actually locked up the rear left wheel and left a skid mark. I obviously ran off the board.

In both cases the board would not turn on as the battery was dead. I know if both cases the remote indicated there was at least three bars or about 30% of the battery left.
I am curious if you saw this in your testing
Friend of mine wants to buy this board (2WD version). How yours problems with X1 ended?
Would you say the 2WD version is much better than the Zeus Pro? $300 more worth it? I’m on the fence between the the two boards.
Wow, it's incredible to see an unknown company coming out with something like this, straight off the bat. Those trucks look like something on a high end custom. On the high speed test it will good to hear your feedback on the "wobble free" claim. Great video👍

Hmmm, thinking I will get one of these as a backup to the Onewheel XR. I love the Onewheel, but the range is not so great. Has anyone got a Onewheel and an eskate? Unsure what the feeling of an eskate is compared to a onewheel, i never rode an eskate, but have 8,000km on the onewheel. Wondering if eskate is as fun as the onewheel.
You got to consider girth when talking about decks….hahaha….that’s great. Boards pretty sweet would love to see what it can do off-road
I think a huge negative about this board is the charge time. In Kami Juniu's review, he said it took over 6hours to fully charge! The Zeus Pro w/ the p42a takes 3.5 hours max. Other than that, seems like a high performance board board , with really sexy looking custom trucks, just wish they would have kept it premium with a better charger.
No way Zeus pro chargers in 3.5hr mine with the standard charger is close to 7hr
If yours is charging in 3.5 you’ve got a very special charger 🔌
@@scottdaviesyoutube I've been doing 75 miles a day since I got it last week, did 100 miles this past Tuesday, it never takes more than 3.5 hours and its full charged. It says it's a 5amp charger. I ride till its down to 1 bar and lagging. I have not completely drained it, but I can't imagine it would take over 4hours to charge it completely drained. I got the board last week and have 500+ miles on the odometer , trying to hit 1k by next week. My point is they really should offer a much better charger for such a high performance/capacity battery.
@@chobofo Don’t worry they will release a fast charger soon
Awesome acceleration 🤙
What’s the top speed
Girth of Diecks =P Love all your vids, Keep it up!
Haha like that !!
SCOTTD doesn’t work. Says code s invalid after rebate code.
Fixing right now give me 5 min
FIXED !!
Still says, “Coupon codes are not supported after enjoying the rebate offer”
Hmmm maybe refresh your page it’s working for me
@@2424jhg are you using more than one code. ?
Quick connects leading to the motors is super cool. Concave looks a bit wild near the trucks for my taste - I ride way back since I ride short boards primarily.
Yea those connectors are great,
The concave is not as aggressive as it looks I think the shine of the Carbon and the grip makes it look more concave than it is,
I live quite a flat deck and I had no issues with this this shape
Ares X1 4wd vs Tranzite AWD Roadster hill climb test.
Sure ! I’ll get one to test
I'm drooling 🤤
Thanks for the review Scott, good video but I'm not liking. You have emphasized a lot on the ride feel of this board, a lot of personal opinions, more like you are marketing this board. However it being a new product, would be nice to see some more close ups of what a potential buyer is getting, the trucks, the bushings, the drive system etc. Personally i'm not feeling this board, the price point is too high for a company that has no previous history. I would not spend well over $2000 on a board from a company that has no customer service history, no long term product performance history, nothing besides a nice looking board and a lot of great sounding claims.
I'm not affiliated in any way with Scott or AceDecks, but for my two cents, if you just look at the quality of the materials used and compare the quality of components (eg. those trucks are not cheap trucks) to other higher end production board companies, the size of the battery, the fact that they built their own custom ESC. I can tell these guys are trying to be serious contenders in the esk8 market. Personally I've been looking for a 14s deck to come out in a production board for a long time. Unfortunately I just finished building my own 14s4p deck which cost me over $3500 and I had to build my own molicel 42a battery as well. The battery pack alone will cost you almost half the board cost. If I had to buy a new production board today or recommend one to a friend, my top two choices would be between this deck for speed and carving or the propel endeavor pro 2 for it's comfort and 5p battery range.
Saying all that though, I'm really not sure how they are getting 65km range on a 4p battery, especially when I'm only getting about 40km on mine (although I do cruise fairly aggressively), but I'm supremely interested in watching a range test on a 2wh version to see what it can really do.
As I understand it, the level of the ESK8 industry depends on the level of manufacturing in the supply chain and the product manager's understanding of the product. It is said that a group of electric skateboarders started the brand together, and they are not from outside of the industry. But they claim to have developed the controller or ESC themselves, which is something to look forward to. This is a good news for the industry because there are not so many ESC brands for mass production at present.
@@VllKlNG The range based on different speed and situation，I found another Review that the range almost 50Km on 4WD，but the rider weight only 65Kg it is said.
Charlie I'm going to be real with you mate, the specs speak for themselves. If you can't look at the quality of the trucks, the batteries, the deck, and not see how this absolutely dumps on every other board that is available then I can't convince you that Scott isn't trying to sell this board, it's genuinely as amazing as he is saying.
@@Bearforceone I am looking to buy a board and was looking at the evolve GTR. Do you think that this X1 is a better choice?
$2,400 USD for the 4WD.....that creeping into Kaly NYC price range
Range will be disappointing. It's only 870 wh. The board ways 40 lbs. My Kaly xl40 has a 1360wh battery and I get about 40 miles of range. This will be abysmal for a 2500 dollar board. If you're actually riding the board...like above 20mph the whole time....you'll be lucky to get 20 miles out of it with your weight. They should've made the deck a little thicker, and actually put a good size battery pack in there. 870wh is abysmal. That's going to be the weak point of this board. Should've charged 2600 for the board and put a bigger pack in there. Also...when are you gonna try a Kaly or a Lacroix? If this board impresses you, a Kaly or a Lacroix will blow your mind.
Tried a Lacroix, hated it, wanted to like it but it’s so far from a skateboard it’s more like a go cart not my style
Kaly: I was going to order one and asked around and heard a few horror stories about quality, that might not be a issue for usa based people but being in Australia a broken / faulty board would be a headache 🤕
@@scottdaviesyoutube that's weird. Kaly is known for the opposite. Massively more reliable than a Lacroix. Never have any issues with mine and the build quality is insanely good. It's a different kind of board. It isn't really good for low speed turning and carving. It's more for wide open street carving. It's an ungodly experience. I highly recommend it.
Yea if I ever see one here I’ll try but just too risky to ship to Australia.
Plus the exchange rate makes it a very very very expensive board plus GST, shipping and import tax
Hope to try one one day 😊
@@scottdaviesyoutube yeah that makes sense. Ernesto is a 1 man show but his customer service is crazy good. Answers his phone. Does video conferences to explain things. Endlessly impressed eith the product and service. Way better than Lacroix with all of their connectivity issues and gear drive issues. You'll be mindblown by a Kaly...believe me. Thr hoyt puck at first was weird and foreign to me. And the deck shape arched like that was also weird and foreign. Once I got a lot of miles, both grew on me. I now love the hoyt puck and the deck shape with the wings is nice. Definitely has a big board feel to it though...for sure.
I mean yes, why spend so much money if it is not properly thought out, there is economics asked not what the one who sells it earns from it ;0)))
2:55 The shape of the what sorry?
I know it's deck
😂 lack of sleep and a kiwi accent, recipe for disaster 😂
It is Hobbywing
No, it is not. It “looks” similar but this is not a Hobbywing esc.
Please show your evidence to back up your false claim.

too expensive!!!! ;0)))
100% disagree, You get what you pay for,
I think this is a great price for the additional battery size and performance.
Agree VKing, he commented two days ago with our even seeming the video. 🤔
You look like you have lost some weight Scotty.
Insanely slow 😂 23 mph, wow
This fucking. . . . ummmm
The mouse pad poster inside is a direct copy of Atlas Carbon's packaging design. The Deck structure is also a complete plagiarism.
I got the atlas feel of the deck , but can you elaborate on the deck structure. I am curious to see where it steals from.
I believe that they copy from Evolve maybe？😁😁😁
Just the “premium power” 😂
@Vic Zeng This isn't an english assignment. Everyone takes inspiration from everyone, and yet this board has managed to blow every other board out of the water. Is it copying if you do it better?
Wait and see 🙏🤍😊👍
