Perfectly done. Exactly what I like out of a comparison video. Especially a little humor. Hope this gets the views it deserves!

I ordered a Backfire yesterday actually. I had wanted an electric street board but wanted the best for cheap and it seemed like the right deal to go with. I own a Mototec 1600 watt off road that is super heavy but has big tires and is very fun to ride, and me and some coworkers built a frankenstein that is scary fast but making it a chain drive I fried the esc and have to make electronic adjustments. I appreciate these reviews big time and great job making the videos so professional! Thanks from the RVA here.

Just about the most efficient review anyone has done. Seems like backfire is the better buy especially with a more flexible board. However i like the bigger wheels on the Koowheel which probably ride better on rough roads. Thanks for thinking this through.

More “that’s what she said” jokes than Brett Conti and John Hill. Ronnie bringing more value than both...just sayin

[baltung]

keep up the great vids, i dont care for bloggers usually but i started watching your videos because i was looking into electric long boards now i keep watching all your current videos and have subscribed, currently waiting on the indigogo campaign for backfire 2 thanks for the entertainment and great reviews. also im curios if for the braking test if the boards were going the same speed, since if one baord accelerates fast say the back board was going faster when you hit the brakes that would increase the stopping distance.

I love the Galaxy board but I'm team Koowheel for now because of the quick change battery which is extremely useful for longer commutes.

[bonerblaze]

Bro I'm definitely on team KooWheel as they have a US based distribution center with US customer service and US warranty repairs if needed. And the KooWheel has an easily swappable battery for those long rides!

[krakingamer]

I love these videos and i looked at your old videos too very good. I like to see how you've evolved with your content.

TEAMBACKFIRE the griptape alone wins this comparison.

[ervicaquino]

Loving the videos. I went with the Backfire and will hopefully have it by January.

[oliverbaker]

Btw, love ur videos Ronnie! Ur the 1 that made me want to get the BackFire V2!😋😅

[matthewortega]

#teambackfire! Can't wait for mine to arrive in January, it's honestly thanks to your videos that I was convinced it'd be a good buy!

[zicofitzgerald]

Remember that you Can get more speed just be presseing the koowheel controller 5 times👍👍👍👍👍😂😂

[janakermann]

But the Koowheel has swappable batteries, so you can double or even quadruple the range.

[andrewrosenberg]

Team Backfire. Just got mine a couple of days ago, and so far been AWESOME! 👍🏼 👍🏼

[robnet]

That was a good comparison, but you could have made it more comprehensive by mentioning the weather resistance capabilities of the two boards (e.g. can you ride on a wet surface?).
Also, on the Backfire you get small 80mm wheels and they are NOT replaceable with bigger ones, I read they're not ideal in terms of both comfort and safety.
Finally, did any remote disconnect at some stage? That's very important too! Anyway I like your videos and I'll keep watching you!

Nice! Btw for the breaking tests, it would be better to start at a certain speed to eliminate the acceleration variable. (If one board accelerates really slowly, then it will have to brake less)

[Bhattanubhav]

I live in Hong Kong and have been riding a meepo board for last couple weeks. Ordered #teambackfire sometime back. Can't wait for delivery last week of November!

[markcruzjr.]

PLEASE DO BEST BUDGET FOR RANGE!!! I don’t care about anything else except price and range

[bsipp]
