    Man.
    This makes deciding on my next board more difficult… I HAVE TO get a TRON board - those light bars are MAGNETIC at night 🤩
    My surf buddy has the Zealot S2 & it straight up looks like it’s floating from a distance.
    I don’t love the deck however, too stiff & clunky feeling (I’m used to my OG Zealot & G3).
    The Meepo Aurora became my next board to get - smooth, flexi & TRON lights.
    But this new G5 looks so good! The next gen remote, even the hub motors, which Backfire does so right…
    Nice work giving the pros of hubs btw - they don’t get much love in the esk8 forums, but they really are great for most casual riders

    Hello, great video, thank you for this test. I'm a beginner in e-skating and Im' looking for a good board to go to work every day : 15kms round trip on slightly damaged roads with part at 30% uphills. Can this G5S be suitable for my use ? Compared to the Exway X1 Max or Flex ER ? For my needs with big uphills but being a beginner rather than Hub or Belt ? Thanks in advance for your help and your response.

    No kick pushing sucks on HUB drives. In fact any motor that does not have a way of disconnecting the motor from the wheel will apply resistance to kick pushing. If I had to kick push I would rather have belt drive where I can quickly pop the belt off and have a completely free rolling wheel

    • @esk8unity
      @esk8unity  18 днів тому

      “better” is subjective. lots of ppl prefer belt because its more diverse. meaning it can change with pullies and wheels. hub u cannot, and hub isnt as fast and powerful either. but as a beginner, its a great board for u. plenty of power and range with basically no maintenance.

    To anyone watching this: do not get this board. It's garbage. I have the G3 plus, and the quality throughout compared to other companies is really bad. It's an alright board if you are broke and have no other option. Otherwise, pass.

      Nope. The trucks are cast. The boards break (mine broke within a week and had to have it replaced). The parts are garbage. The battery is some off-brand third-party Chinese crap. It has hub motors. There is a reason these things are cheap. You get what you pay for. For the same price or just a tiny bit more, you could get a far, far superior board from another company. This is indisputable, but keep trolling. @@madeinerror
