Meepo Hurricane Electric Skateboard - Power, Power Power!

- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- The Hurricane is the latest board from Meepo. But, it is Meepo's first 2-1 all terrain board. That said, this is an amazing creation from a manufacturer that is upping their game with every new board they produce. Capable of speeds north of 30 mph, this board is race ready. But it's also smooth and predictable so it is perfect for beginners too!
The one drawback is it is quite heavy, like most all terrain boards. However, the huge battery, and subsequent range, is worth the weight. It's not a portable commuter board, but it is loads of fun and a comfortable long range cruiser.
Overall, this board represents great value at it's price point versus competitors, even though it is Meepo's most expensive board ever. If you want fun, predictable performance without any sacrifice at an attractive price point, the Hurricane is it!

It blows my mind, the range that these boards can achieve - 30-45 miles, that is insane.
Hey I’m thinking of getting this bored any more thoughts?
@@DirtyGrav there are reviews for every kind of board on youtube, the Meepo Hurricane sounds like a really good board!
@@DirtyGrav Yeah, watched the Meepo Hurricane vid again, man, thats a nice board but pricey. ...now i want one too! 🤪 Watching those puppies blast across gravel, rocks, grass looks like so much fun - to not be restricted to pavement, hell yeah.!
Can’t wait to see future videos with the hurricane.
👊
i bet someone out there after getting this board already planning making a custom single seater car with this much power.
So glad to see you're keeping up with review videos, can't wait to see the gut with this board.
Great review! Can't wait for mine to come in! Not here to tell anyone how they should ride, but it's generally safer to widen your stance and bend you knees a bit more. It especially helps if you ever have to bail off or if the wheels slip out while carving, It also gives you more control and less fatigue after some practice. Anyways safe riding! I came off my evolve gtr at 22mph due to a sudden breaking issue and broke both my arms instantly so always be cautious(:
All safety tips are welcome and good for the community 👍.
Please elaborate on the "sudden braking issue"!!!!
I am really looking forward to the performance test of this board. Given the fact that this board has p42A cells (one of the best battery cells for eskate) and that the new lingyi esc is configured to 70A, I expect this to fairly easily beat out almost every board on your list and have a pretty solid shot at topping the chart. Great video as always.
👍
Hes going to beat every other board in speed mode 3 with the 155mms going 50% throttle the whole time except on STEEP hills and it'll still go up it at 20+mph full throttle on speed mode 3. This beast has too much power honestly.
Very powerful interesting board. Just a few things: I have been working with electrics in helicopters and airliners for many years. We call the cover for the cables of the motors on this board a "stocking" and they are only used for cosmetics. They offer very little physical protection and when slightly broken the come undone fast. Also water and sand enters and will regardless of grommets travel into the board. The other things are the slightly thick and boxy deck as well as a weight of 15,5 kilograms. But of course, comes with the big battery. Thanks
this board looks like the ultimate board, I wanna get this one, it seems like a 1 and done board
👍
I just randomly decided to come watch the review thinking it had already been up for a bit guess I got lucky great work
👍
You’re finally back!
Moving to this from Mini X soon (Bless her soul). Thanks for review, pretty excited!
Gonna buy this in the spring. Absolutely insane board
👊
Now also doing AT boards, that’s outstanding this is the best Esk8 test UA-cam channel 👍🏼
Thx my friend 👊!
What’s happened to your channel?! You were my go to e skate channel, hope you get back in the game soon
Love the video man, your quality is so good! really looking forward to the performance test, I bet this thing will rock the gut 😅
Thx 👊!
did you buy it or sponsored video? they're now $1300 for black friday sale
Not trying trying condescending but dual king pins are for more buttery smoth turns it's supposed to simulate the feeling of a snowboard or surfboard. On typical push longboards if you want to bomb hills at high speeds you definitely want to switch to a single kingpin truck or tighten the crap out of the duals otherwise you get bad speed wobbles at like 30+ mph
practice practice practice
Idk what the numbers will be but the hurricanes gonna be up there lol
👍
Is it just me or are your wheels not at the right PSI? Did you check the pressure before riding? I know they have them half pressure when shipping so might be something to check. Great review by the way, mine should arrive anytime now!
Front right is definitely too low
I agreed, first thing I knotted, specially that front right tire. Lol.
Great review JP. This will be the new Leader Board in all aspects
Especially the GUT! I can’t wait!
You’ll blow by all those nuisance road conditions.
See you soon 👍
How’s the V4?
I expect to ride this week for the first time. My inspection and impression is spot on to your review. I can’t wait for an opening this week!
Thanks bro!
Bought the V4 after your previous review and I love that skateboard. Looking forward to the performance test on the Hurricane!
👊
I rode it and I hate how it jerk you when you let go of the throttle. My meepo nls pro doesn't do this and it's a shame. I'm hoping the hurricane doesn't do this or I won't get it.
I bought it too, and it still hasn't arrived in the US, did you use air shipping?
@@RadParkour I did not. It took about 3 weeks to deliver I think… maybe 2. It took a while.
Ditto. Love my Shuffle. Now I just have an urge to love me a Hurricane.
A great introduction to a very interesting board!
👍
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
Around…😀
Great overview and first impression video amigo 👌🤙
👊
Man I can’t wait for mine to come in. Been waiting 22 days so hopefully just another month
same here its almost a month
Been waiting on this… can’t wait to see the Gut time! Be careful testing this one, be sure to pad up. LOL
Bubble wrap!
Heard some complaints bout glitchy esc. Hope your's all good. But that sudden-acceleration glitch probably wouldn't matter when powering thru the gut.
Very nice AT wheel tread pattern
Great video! I’d really like to see you ride and talk about the 90mm wheels and how they are like on this board
😨Dude this unboxing is incredibly dangerous😱, if you fail it's not the same as falling down hill you are being thrown🤕at high speed, the chunky wheels got to help a lot🤠 good luck🤞
Great video!
Hurricane vs lyocan trx 3.0 pls
Thanks JP
👊
I love your videos!
Thx 👍
Hey man what happened to your old videos comparing different boards? That content was really unique
everyone craving “top speed” yet no one hitten it lol
That’s because coming off any board at 35mph is gonna hurt if not put you in the hospital.
@@kie-skatemods4141 for sure
Just because you can don’t mean you should
@@vladwonner9882 i agree. therefor ppl should stop puttinng value on “top speed”
@@esk8unity agrees
Got a flat in one of my pneumatics yesterday. Go try and find a 150mmx50mm inner tube like the ones they ship with... hoping a 6x2 will work. If not you are effed if you get flats unless you buy 4 more for 189 bucks... thinkin bout gettin 120mm clouds
I have heard the 6" x 2" will work with a little playing around with it. I have not found a 150mm x 50mm yet either.
Update. A 6x2 will work but its not easy to get in there at all. Also emailed meepo trying to find a supplier for a 150x50mm inner tube. They referred me to the meepo website to buy 4 new pneumatics... replied back saying no i don't need 4 new tires. Just the 1 tube and they said they will send me a replacement. Also requested of them to have the tubes in their shop as many of us riders will need them in the future.
@@KillEmEasy That's good to know. I was thinking about just patching it with rubber cement and a piece of rubber pond liner when needed because I have some laying around. But, there are also bike tube repair kits that may be better. Hopefully they start selling tubes.
I just realized the meepo box says “face your fierce” not “fears. Makes no since. Something was lost in translation.
Great video - Which camera do you use? INSTA360? I'm looking to buy one but I'm not sure which model to get.
Have you heard of the Lycaon 3.0
Drinking game: Every time he says "clean," pound a Red Bull, bro!
Hey dude hope all is well.
Being that I never really rode skateboards in my lifetime would it be hard to pickup on riding this thing?
Someone had an issue with the motors not spinning for the hurricane
I'm guessing slightly faster than the older Zealot. Shame you didn't test the Zealot S. I have both of them and the S is definitely quicker. My guess is 4 minutes and 44 seconds
👍
Anything over 20 mph is crazy fast. If you're gonna ride over 20mph consistently I'd recommend full protective gear, helmet, Elbow and knee and a full abrasion resistant jacket and pants. Coming off at 26 mph won't be fun. I typically ride at between 10 and 20 mph, and I can safely bail off at anything under 15 mph and I don't wear any protective gear. I actually practiced jumping off just to see how fast I could do it. After 15 mph I think I would fall but it would be a managable fall. Over 20 mph you're gonna bounce and tumble. Not good.
I want to buy this and have it last , if I rode it every day for 5 of the 12 months of the year how long do you think it should last me?
What is the hill climbing performance on a 220lbs rider on a 20 incline grade hills??
Hey will you be testing the Zealot S anytime soon? what do u think it will place in the gut?
Snow skid my whole life. Learning to snowboard this year. Wondering if this would help mirror those heel toe edges when carving? Great video
Like all board sports they're the same...but different. So if you can ski and/or snowboard sure you have the base idea on how to ride a skateboard but it's still a bit different in weight distribution and feel so you still have to learn how to do it but you'll pick it up very quickly.
you mentioned that the board was heavy, would you say that its unmanageable to carry on a day to day basis as part of a commute? is it worth looking for something lighter?
If you have to tote it around a lot then it's really too heavy IMO.
trampa is power
Hey man tryna decide between the hurricane vs the atlas 2wd real hard decision, what do you guys think?
No idea why Meepo chose DKP Trucks for this one. 35 on DKP's? No thanks!
Ownboard IMO did it better cause they went for TKP's for the Zeus, but that's just my personal point of view.
You have to try this board going up hills ?
Does it jerk you when you release the throttle? It does on the V4 and I hate it. I'm really hoping it doesn't on this I love how the nls pro rides.
It’s very smooth
Are you riding in mode 4? My advice is mode 3. It goes just as fast with less accelleration. Mode 4 requires way to much attention to be comfortable. I rode it like that for a few months and went back to 3 and it's much more fun and easy.
Can I have the link for it? Is it on Amazon?
HOW did you get it so quick??
How is the braking performance?
solid and predictable
What state is this? Or Canada?
How fast were you able to max out with the all terrain setup?
~30 mph, which is as fast as I would want to go 😀
@@JohnPaulYTsweet! My Meepo NLS does 29, and that’s with street wheels. I would love to have that capability with an all terrain… plus the super long range battery is a huge plus.
I bet this board gets in the 3 minutes for The Gut test if you use all the power
👀
My mini first of all minis is still working you ca see it in my channel
I'm sorry I dont really appreciate them going belt motor route. Kieran said himself hubs/direct drive is the future, but here we are with belt drives that are loud and clunky :( e-boards have enough power and speed as is.
$100 discount code for all meepo skateboards: v100
I got a meepo mini 2 ER And I couldn’t even hit 100 miles on it cuz it broke, so they pretty bad 😒
the lycaon gr 2021 would be higher on that gut list!
I agree! I tested one of the very first boards and they have improved significantly since then 👍
@@JohnPaulYT yeah the 2021 needs more love but they have the lycaon swift which is good i also here
what happened to this guy?
Can't do dkp trucks
🔥💯☺️☺️☺️
So fast
👍
Bra your tyres are flat!
Overboard entertainment did a review and could only get up to 30mph with only a 17 mile range with a 160lb rider. Both top speed and range is well below what Meepo advertises.
Thanks for your feedback about the Meepo Hurricane top range. We appreciate it! We'd also like to explain why the top range we've reached while testing our board is not necessarily the top range you've reached while riding. This is because of the fact that so many different factors and elements have an influence on the max range (and max speed) of a board. For example: wheel size, wheel type (hard/soft), rider weight, riding mode, riding style, terrain, weather, and so on. It's important to keep all of this in mind when determining a top range or a max speed. More importantly though and for this exact reason, whenever we release a new board, we make sure to send it to many different UA-camrs and influencers who can produce their own unbiased reviews and report on their range and speed tests. We always encourage potential customers to watch these reviews and decide for themselves if this is the right board for them.
Not sure what this video recommends, but DO NOT BUY MEEPO. I have been a customer for 5 years, there ESC randomly stops working, causing extremely dangerous situations when you suddenly cant break! They used to be good with customer service, but after telling them about this issue they completely left me out to dry. The company has gotten too big it would seem, the days of dealing with a passionate skateboarder are gone. Completely profit driven with no support, and faulty dangerous boards. I have always recommended Meepo, but I will never buy from them again! Removing their sticker from my helmet as we speak, the only thing with their name on it that actually works.
Battery is dead after less than 1500km put on it, Meepo with their lame ass 3 months parts warranty does not care (completely illegal in Europe by the way), trucks are weak, have broken many times (both kingpin and hanger) and ESC is dangerous, shutting down everything even brakes when battery is low : this board is definitely a joke, do not trust any of these sponsored reviews and buy any Meepo's product at your onw risk now that you've been warned 🤷♂
They don’t even make this board anymore lol. They removed it from their pages due to all the problems. They don’t care.
It gets me mad being considered as a guinea pig beta tester at this price point.
@@grinpiece3432 This is why you should have done research and wait before buying new product when no reviews exist. All these UA-camrs get paid to promote the products. They have partnerships and stuff. They aren’t going to show you the flaws.
Thanks for rubbing salt in the wound, but yeah, you're completely right about it (most UA-camrs call their disguised advertisements "reviews" though which does not help). For exemple if I still had confidence in these "reviews", I'd go with an Acedeck Nomad right now, but this time I'll be patient and wait for real feedbacks from the community.
