Quality video Ammar! normally I would say great as alway, but this video is next level! I'm stoked to see your comparison video and maybe a 2WD torque/range test. FYI, It wasn't me who did the acceleration video, it was Xianyu, an exway fan from China. Thank you for your support to exway and were looking forward to having you in our 5th exway carnival in Shenzhen, China!
Thanks Antonio! That means a lot coming from you. I'll definitely work on those videos ;) And thanks for clarifying that! I just put it in the description too. Exway carnival in China sounds like a dream!
Exway has to either change their testing methodology for range or start giving realistic values. They’ve done this “2nd gear” testing on flat terrain on all their new boards and they keep giving values 20-30% bigger than real world results. I totally get that in this space that range is respectable, but it still doesn’t excuse giving non-representative values on their store page. Great review and very thorough! Excited to see some actually new stuff for eskating!
Maaaa-an that channel is underrated!! After viewing 3 videos I was surprised at how far away it is from the spotlight, given the honesty and quality of the video!!
Nice job - really well done and for the most part objective. It’s hard not to call the range out as a negative though. You had identified this as an issue with Evolve boards and stated that Exway had solved it with the atlas - 12-15 miles on AT’s is not really a solution to range, Evolve goes further in the same situation - accepted though that this is 4WD.
Thanks a lot Mark. Really appreciate you watching and your kind words. I think in terms of range the 4wd Atlas and GTR are neck and neck for me. I think in the conclusion I put a “😐” emoji there instead of “😁” to indicate that it’s sort of the same. Maybe I should’ve stated that instead of just messing with emojis haha. Appreciate your feedback
Thank you for the video! Im about to buy me one! stepping up from my Backfire Ranger X3 with hub mototrs to something with belt drives is gonna be rad!
Wow really thorough review love to have a ride the options and tuneability sound great great review amaar the range of add ons and modifiable performance really impressed
Ammar! please do the comparison video between the Atlas and the Evolve GTR pls pls pls . I cannot say enough words of admiration to this video. very well edited and complete, simply the best board review I've seen.
Thanks for this man. Daniel had me on the fence, but with this review I definitely had to pull the trigger compared to my other option. Subscribed and used your code. This was a terrific review. Ride safe.
I really hope the local support network comes to fruition. It would also give a kick up the arse to the other non-UK bramds to set up some form of local support, even a basic one. Support is a huge reason Evolve sell so many boards in the UK and why Boosted were top for so long in the USA. Likin the intro 👌🏼
Cheers mate! On the support network. Definitely agree local support is a huge advantage, and a good part of evolves success is because of local support. There are ongoing talks about UK Exway support 👀😏
@@ASeSkater No problem dude. Question, do you experience any leg pain or fatigue riding the Atlas? I had an Evolve Carbon GTR a few years ago, loved it. But after like 30 mins of riding it, my legs really hurt. Do the AT wheels and foam grip tape help absorb road vibration and negate fatigue since the board is carbon and doesnt flex? Exway has a black friday sale and im probably gonna by an Atlas 2wd.
@@timhealy7335 To be honest yes I do with the street wheels. Not nearly as much with the AT’s and foam griptape as they really help with softening out the vibrations. Of course though it’s a carbon deck so it’s less comfortable overall than a flexible bamboo board would be, but it’s an essential compromise to be able to ride high speed with stability
Hey bro! What a cracking video. Very detailed and very honest. Very interested in seeing a atlas & gtr comparison video man. Again, what a banger of a video dude :)
Last week I just watched a long review of yours about the Carbon GTR and bought it... Now I want this one but I already spent more than 2300 EUR on the Evolve one.
Very loving and engaging video I need to try this board to get a really feel on where it sits and in the market. I am now happy evolve now had a competition as a customer we will all be getting better products as a result!
Superb review! Very informative and it does look like a fantastic board. I have the Lycaon TRX 2 and I love it. The 120mm Cloud wheels pair beautifully with the stiff carbon deck. Would be interesting to see how the cloudies would go on the 4wd Atlas. Could be a great combination.
Haha I'm you 570th subscriber and 70th comment... Nice job bro! I almost was going to save up that extra cash to get the atlas but gone for the Eovan GTS Carbon Pro 😴 waiting forever for it lol which bored would you go for? is the 4×4 WD really that different? An price difference worth that extra money?
Hello, for me 4WD is a bit gimmicky, heavy and drains the battery. There are super powerful boards using 2WD. How do you feel about the board today? Compared to Lycaon TRX 3.0 which is cheaper? One thing I do not like about Exway is they use their proprietary wheels so you have to buy pulleys and all for others. They also charge extra for everything. What do you think?
And what about the torx quality? Previous models Were powerful good a great software but with a poor quality to change belt tensions due to the torx. What do you think?
I don't like a few things about the ECS. There's no way to change the top speeds for the gears. First gear is always useless, I'd love for the 2nd gear top out at 25km/h instead of 20. The power delivery is weird too. When going uphill in 2nd, the board just will run out of power. My other board just feeds as much power as it needs to maintain a set speed, but on the Atlas I have to switch to a higher gear to make it up steeper hills.
Thoughts are your Atlas is even better than mine and I am jealous 🤣 yours will be even more powerful, without sacrificing any range compared with my 18650 pack
@@ASeSkater i agree , thanks for superb content. Oh how I wish for a store in Europe or Amazon so that you could order spare parts , wheels , belts and so on. I have a meepo mini 2 now and it’s amazing for the price but I need to go off road :)
Hello again, I have some thoughts on the Atlas. I think it lacks wheel options in the same manner as for example Eovan. 90 mm street wheels are not ideal I think on a stiff huge board and I am not into pneumatic ATs. Also do not like that they use their own pulleys and wheels and no other options as well as Exway seems to want to sell everything after you buy the board rather than having that as choices from the start. Cheers
Hey. Not at all, you can use practically any wheel you just need to get a different pulley which suits different wheels. E.g. kegel pulleys which they already sell on the site
Big kudos Ammar on this write up, I stumbled into your channel while looking at Evolve GTR videos and loved how honest you are with your experience. I'm relatively new to the esk8 scene and own a OneWheel currently which I've been enjoying. I've had a growing interest of the Evolve Carbon GTR but have seen all these Exway Atlas reviews pop up! As a new rider in mind, I would be considering the Evolve Carbon GTR, would the Exway Atlas be way too much for a beginner? :D
Hey Adrian. Thanks for the nice words and thanks for being here! To answer your question, no the Atlas wouldn’t be too much for a beginner because you can ride in lower gears until you’re used to the board, and you can also limit the power through the app. Between those two boards I would definitely go for the Atlas, it’s better and more refined in every way. The Gtr is old tech now, and you will get bored of the power on it very quickly
Hey! Can you review the Propel Endeavor Pro? I need your video production, expert opinion detailed review style for this very specific board. K thanks bye ✌️
Haha evolve starts sweating when he mentioned a comparison! 😋😋 Looks sick, super sick. Maybe towards the end of the year will get. Other things in the pipeline but this does look superior to a lot on the market. So many awesome boards now, good time for esk8!
Great stuff thanks for vid. My 2wd arriving in April with AT tyre's. Any spots in London or surrounding areas that you'd recommend that don't require too much road travel? Parks etc
Thanks Joe. So exciting that you’re getting one! There will be another 2wd here in Birmingham soon. We should meet in London and do an Atlas group ride 🤤 Central London is great for riding. The cycle path starting at Parliament and running along the Thames is really nice. And you can follow it the other way to Milbank
Fantastic review which covers so much. I think some of the options you mentioned sounds interesting, perhaps the 115 mm rubber wheels, direct drive and bamboo deck. Do you have some idea of when these will be available? Stay safe
Thanks a lot Jonas! I think the rubber wheels and direct drive will be available soon after the preorders ship, which is sometime in April. I think Bamboo Atlas will take a good while longer, quite a few months 🤙
Hi, Ammar. Thank you so much for such a thorough review. You set a new standard. Question please: I feel drawn towards direct drive motors, I'm eyeing the Onsra Black carve 2 direct drive but now having watched your review I feel drawn to the Exway atlas 2WD. Towards the end you suggest that it would be possible to change from belt drive to direct drive down th eline if need be. Can you please confirm that's right? Thank again, warmly B
Hey Warmly. Thanks a lot for your really kind words, I really appreciate it. I can confirm that’s right. In the future you’ll be able to switch to direct drive or hub motor drive trains with the Atlas. 🤙
Just wanted to let you know this review is awesome. When are they shipping it out to the US? If I order one today when should I expect it? Thanks again
The belt covers... rubbish, I had so much belt rub on them.. Exway couldn't figure out a solution, so I left them off.. The grab handle.. it's lovely to look at, but the base plate is rubbish and too thin. My board rolled in my car which bent the handle and I spent 2 weeks figuring out how to straighten it and flatten it.. I think the base plate is too thin for this weight board!, more instruction on how the wheels fit on.. washers.. spacers, etc... I found that I've just had to guess the configuration on each wheel type to make the wheel fit without many issues....
Hey mate, first of all, great, detailed review. Congrats for your work. But I still have a few things, I would like to say. The innovation in Esk8 is running at the moment and everybody is pushing. That is great, competition is good and makes things better. The boards getting better. But here is the thing with the Exway Atlas. In my opinion, the battery is definitely not well planned and should be criticised. Let me explain. We are talking about a 4WD and round about 500WH. That is not so much and 20 km range with an average consumption of 25WH/km is not that far. It is close to their advertised range, especially with more weight. That’s true, but isn’t the real question, why did they use only a 12S4P setup with 30Q and not a 12S4P with 21700 cells? That is the elephant in the room. The price of the board already shocked everybody, so why not 100$ more and better/stronger cells? Build everything to fit them, right from the beginning. That question should be asked. That is for me the one important point. Than it would be really worth the money. And a bigger charger, 3,5 hours to fully charge the board? That is definitely not fast and to long! 2nd question to be asked. And another thing for me personally, I don’t like to deal with Chinese manufactures directly, if something went wrong with my board. Let‘s see, what the Future will bring and if Exway really gets the customer support sorted out. Only time can tell. At the moment, I wouldn’t purchase a board over 2000$ without any direct customer support. With my other boards, I know exactly who to call, if something is wrong. With any Chinese manufacturer, no clue. Thanks again for this great footage. Cheers!
sorry but Im still not impress with that board and I still think its overprice I think Exway just teased everybody so much saying board was coming soon in May 2020 which was far to be true , also with all that amazing range and speed they were advertising ( Up to 60kmh top speed and 50KM range! ATLAS will speak for itself ! #exway Born For Freedom ) its impossible to get the speed and the range that was first advertise on one setting so it was bullshit ,on 4wd might get you the 60kmh speed but nowhere near the 50km range advertise , 2wd might get you the 50km range if you are supper light and ride super slow but you will never get the 60kmh speed advertise . so can I go for a ride with the Atlas and get that 60kmh speed and 50km range , no you cant !!!!
Nice spin with that mid tier price crap. This upper tier pricing...and doesn't compare to the. Cycle eagle / propel 4wd board with real suspension and swappable batteries. You clearly a shill for exway bra!

Really glad you appreciate it Jonny. Thanks for watching 🤙
wow that half hour flew by! Really good to get an in depth review. Looking forward to a range test on the 7" 👍
Nice one Tim. Can't wait to make that video happen once I've got the tyres! :)
10:35 that's is true, but you have to remove the belt from the front motors otherwise you are wasting energy because they put some resistance.

Great point Tom and I totally agree. Competition between brands is great for riders who get more choice at better prices 🙌
Do a comparisson with the M5 from unknown boards. Seems much more powerful and better price
Not sure about a comparison but definitely keen to shred that board it looks good!
Superb review! Very informative and it does look like a fantastic board.
I have the Lycaon TRX 2 and I love it. The 120mm Cloud wheels pair beautifully with the stiff carbon deck. Would be interesting to see how the cloudies would go on the 4wd Atlas. Could be a great combination.

Checkout the Eovan carbon GTS… compare that to the 2wd Atlas.

Two wheel front drive should be an option. Most cars have that these days for a reason.
And what about the torx quality? Previous models Were powerful good a great software but with a poor quality to change belt tensions due to the torx. What do you think?

Let‘s see, what the Future will bring and if Exway really gets the customer support sorted out. Only time can tell. At the moment, I wouldn’t purchase a board over 2000$ without any direct customer support. With my other boards, I know exactly who to call, if something is wrong. With any Chinese manufacturer, no clue.
Thanks again for this great footage.
Cheers!
Sorry for the long comment, needed to say that.
@@esk8cave205 I feel like making a video to respond to your points 😄
Your welcome 😁
@@esk8cave205 I believe due to shortage of the 18650's they are indeed now using the 21700's 🐘
sorry but Im still not impress with that board and I still think its overprice I think Exway just teased everybody so much saying board was coming soon in May 2020 which was far to be true , also with all that amazing range and speed they were advertising ( Up to 60kmh top speed and 50KM range! ATLAS will speak for itself ! #exway Born For Freedom ) its impossible to get the speed and the range that was first advertise on one setting so it was bullshit ,on 4wd might get you the 60kmh speed but nowhere near the 50km range advertise , 2wd might get you the 50km range if you are supper light and ride super slow but you will never get the 60kmh speed advertise . so can I go for a ride with the Atlas and get that 60kmh speed and 50km range , no you cant !!!!
Well, you don't have to worry about Daniel's 2WD review now that the Chinese cops stole his board. lol
Haha! It’s so sad. I hope he can get it back on Monday (without water damage from being left outside 😌)
Nice spin with that mid tier price crap. This upper tier pricing...and doesn't compare to the. Cycle eagle / propel 4wd board with real suspension and swappable batteries. You clearly a shill for exway bra!
Dude, please...the music...just...no.
