Doesn’t make sense to choose Zealot. The lights are cool, but Flex Pro way better bang for your buck. This remote’s gonna get banged up, along with the nose and tail. Ridiculous they don’t have protection for the tips.
your comment makes absolutely no sense 1. the remote is made of aluminum compared to the flex pro plastic remote. 2. the light is what protects the board deck from getting banged up. putting guards over it is like putting a nose/tail guard on top of another nose/tail 3. how is the flex pro better bang for your buck?
I had a Flex Pro that I loved riding for a year until one of the Hub motor bearings broke and I needed to buy a new hub motor from their website. Putting aside the fact it took 2 weeks for them to ship the thing to my house, the motor they sent would not move at all under power. It locked up completely when accelerating and if I did force it to spin it'd make a sketchy clicking sound like something was out of place. I figured, "meh broken parts happen" and the after sales rep offered to send me a second one. So fast forward to roughly 2 months after my Flex initially broke, and the second motor comes in. I install it to the board following their video instructions... and the same fucking problem happened! Would not move for anything under power and made that clicking sound when I forced it to spin. At this point I'm upset, and the sales rep is asking me to send videos and pictures of the stupid thing... then radio silence for an entire nother month. So more than 3 months since my board broke, I finally told them off! How awful their after sales team is and how they shouldnt offer replacement parts if the parts they offer don't work! The Flex Pro is an amazing board and I was honestly thinking of getting a Wave as my next board, but Exway as a company sucks ass and I'm planning on getting a zealot as it seems their customer service is magnitudes better than Exway. I will never buy a board from that company again.
@@paperpersona1243 thats annoying, I’d be pissed. But I would never buy a hub board. Losing torque/acceleration.. plus less grip/vibration dampening with those crap back wheels. Get a belt driven board man
@@mrrage2265 1. It has a screen. Phones are made out of aluminum as well. The screens still shatter and phones break. I don’t need a screen on my throttle control to make a board more expensive 2. If you think a led light strip with a thin layer of plastic over it will prevent you from denting, scratching, damaging, and/or destroying the lighting on the tips… you need to live a lil more. 3. The Flex Pro is $899 while the Zealot X is $1199… they ride the same.. that’s why it’s a better deal 🤦🏽♂️ Happy to make an already clear statement clearer for you 🧠 😵
Just spend another 150.00 and get a meepo voyager, the range on a voyager alone is worth it, it will go way further and way faster than any backfire board, but if your not into range and power, just buy this then.🤔
Giggidy
Wow nice
It was fun while it lasted but it kept breaking
Backfire Zealot S2? You sure? This board is just out!
I can tell you know its worthless it doesnt have foot plants in case you need to make a sudden stop
You don’t need foot plants with good form

Minus the fact their warranty and customer service suck
Voyager battery craps out after 6 months, and then, Meepo customer service refuses to help you. But your right, Voyager kicks ass, until it doesn't.
