First electric longboard, haven’t had this much fun in a long time. Came with everything I needed and then some. The remote is awesome!

After only about three months of use, when the boards motors, and possibly the battery, I have completely crapped out. Every time I throttle at all the board will shut off after return to customer support and getting no response I took to the Internet to try to find a way to repair, however there’s absolutely no repair videos on the zealot or any the zealot series. My board arrived with a wonky motor that that was obnoxiously loud. I just assumed that this was just how motor supposed to sound. H...

Bought this for my son, he absolutely loves it. He gets to his friends houses faster than a car and the charge holds, never leaves him stranded.

The product itself was great, but i was rather annoyed about the free shippimg taking a month or so, would have rather payed for better shipping if there was an option

The board and build quality is super solid. “Super flexy” just means it isn’t as bad as a carbon fibre deck, but this board is still pretty rigid, compared to any bamboo/fibreglass mixes you might’ve seen out there. The Canadian maple wood is tough! Good acceleration and great braking, can easily reach 40km/hr as a 165lb rider, but with extra weight that max limit steeply decreases, as I’ve learned when I wear a backpack. The lights are semi cool in the day but actually quite useful at night, th...

The brakes and lights were great. I got a lot of looks with the lights and safety was not an issue

Pretty much anything negative I would have to say is my fault in the selection of the board. I'm pretty big (87kg), so the board is underpowered on even moderate hills, but give the power, size, and design that's totally fair. I knew what I was buying. The Nalu does what it claims to do, and will be fine for me to do short runs on relatively flat roads. Otherwise, I will just take my Zealot S instead. If I was going to ask for one design change on the Nalu, it would be a slightly larger kick t...

Love the board it works great once you increase the remote settings a bit, but I live In The uk and it was a massive ordeal to get one as they don't ship to the uk.

Moter works great so far and now that I put electrical connector anti corrosion on the plugs I can unplug moters without ripping the prongs off thus saving me from having to always buy an ESC every time I change a motor keeps $100 in my pocket. Can you guys please check your online mileage log because ever since I put my new ESC on it has not been counting my miles every time I check online thanks Rebel Rider

Well these things are great but I used my buddies set before mine came in and the housing around the front bulb kinda got loose but it was a simple unscrew locktight and it’s been good now my set that I ordered came perfect and didn’t come loose although if you hear a loud rattle and your can figure out what it is check yo lights 😂

Love how flexible the board is to ride in the city. However the wheels are relatively small compared to other e-boards, I got into an accident onetime because the board tipped up when going over a crack.

Overall it's a fun ride. Starting to experience a bit of voltage sag though. My usual route ends with 1 to 2 bars left on the board, but today it hit zero about a half mile from my house. Also experiencing chunking on the rear wheels which is fine since I do pump kind of harder, but started getting a clicking noise from the back wheels while rolling. Figured out that it wasn't coming from the motor, sounded more like when you get a flat spot on your wheel. Took the wheel off and found a decent ...

Overall this is an extremely solid skateboard. Coming from a budget e skate this thing feels ridiculously fast off the line and continues accelerating pretty hard. I still rarely touch turbo mode. Getting roughly 25 miles per charge which is awesome too. My biggest problem with this board is the way the brakes lock the rear wheels. I didn’t think it would be a problem at first as I usually like firm brakes but my opinion changed when I hit the brakes a little in a turn and both wheels locked sen...

fine for a $389 board when I bought it. It's very sleek and has great looks. However, battery is VERY small. Will only get you about 8 miles of normal use. The deck is also stiff as shit as the battery is integrated into the deck. The wheels also suck shit at turning, gripping, and absorbing bumps. A fine beginner board for those not really interested in eskates or going fast/far in a fun manner at all. WOULD ONLY RECOMMEND FOR PURE COMMUTERS, DO NOT BUY TO HAVE FUN.

Bad quality, it broke less than a year after buying it with the board and the warranty was only 6 months, thus Backfire forced to buy a new one :(

The board ride is excellent. However other elements impact a buyers overall review with the product and the company. In this case three elements are very problematic: First and foremost, there is no hard copy owners manual or even more alarming assembly manual. The board arrives with multiple features requiring assembly and not providing an assembly manual with easy to follow instructions is a disaster and in itself worthy of only one star. Second, assembly itself of certain parts of the board (...

been riding my G3 for close to a year now, and i figured id write a review since my Zealot S2E is coming tomorrow. great board! it has powered through snow, rain, the freezing cold, and very ugly looking roads. rides like a champion on a clear, warm day. ive had to reach out to customer support many, many times because it seems like the screws that keep the wheel on the hub motors snap/unscrew themselves pretty often. i wouldn't reccomend aggressive carving on this board. the screws cant handl...

I just wanted to say thank you guys and everyone and Backfire for one of the best experiences I've had. I've wanted an Esk8 since 2014, and you guys helped make that dream come true, with this beautiful and affordable board. On that note, I've had it for just over three months. The company has been very quick to respond and take care of any issues I had. The board has its flaws but still makes for one of the best budget/ entry level board. I would recommend to anyone that is wanting to get into...
