Great video! I'm more of a belt drive guy myself. The grip on the tubeless tires is a total game changer. Best grip and shock absorption on any wheel/tire system I have ever ridden. With the current sale Meepo is having on the tubeless wheels, this is a good time to give them a try.

I just had my voyager board stolen and I'm now buying the Hurricane, thanks for the video. I'm getting Trackers on my new board so if it gets stolen this time, I'll be at their door real quick, really wish meepo Included anti theft

Ordered a Voyager from the BF sale recently and seeing stuff like this makes me excited for my E-skate journey.

Great review on belts vs gear drive for the Hurricane and Ultra! Love and respect your honesty about the gear drives and how it might not be the best upgrade for someone looking to maintain wheel options/being 2-in-1!

[yohvh]

Got the 'hurricane bamboo pro' the 2 in 1 version with fast charger and both kingpins. belt driven. i like how the belt moves and it seems more compatible.

Havin the ability to upgrade is so underrated as I hear a lot of first time riders gettin FOMO and wishin they could upgrade more easily.

Gear drive is definately useful for some noy all... it's great for people to have options so this video is great in informin people it's not about what is "best" it is about options.

I love urethane man, I've tried 85s, 90s, 97s and 105s but I won't be ridin ATs anytime soon 😂

Thanks for the review, Drew! Got mine on order however, I have 5 months of winter ahead of me 😫😫

[ronanhutchinson]

Awesome video Drew! There’s a lot to consider here. Both options sound really good. I’m definitely a street wheel guy though, so I feel like the belts would be the way to go for me. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Meepo come up with a solution for putting street wheels on the gear drive in the next while.

[MyWorldAsDylan]

I appreciate the super honest insight. Like really! Happy to hear you're not just following the hype and just being 100% honest amigo 🙏🤙. Kudos to that! As well, I love DKP as well. But that's personal preference of course. But having a bit of a skater background (you as well) then you love the feel and freedom of it. Pity the geardrive doesn't support streets. That would make it more interesting for current market. Also good you mentioned it that you got the molicels. Because Meepo silently swapped them to 40T. I'm really not up for that. Too sneaky. 40T is a great cell, but the P42A's are just a bit better. Loved the honest and deep video! Like always, keep it up and stay safe amigo 🫶🙌🤙

Great review, .. thank you very much for all the details and your opinion on it!

I purchased 2 of the Meepo Hurricane Carbon AWD Gear drive that came with the 165S Future Tubeless wheels. The Pros: traction is good and they can easily go over small debris and cracks in the pavement like nothing I've ever seen before. The Cons: They are very unstable when you get around 24 MPH. The rubber is soft, too soft and simple thorns from bushes will puncture them. Two of my 8 wheels did not hold pressure from the first time I filled them up with one going flat in about 8 hours and one going flat every 5 days or so. Meepo's support is trash, I reported this to them a month ago and just got a notification they shipped a replacement wheel from China. In my experience everything ships from China even though they claim to have a US based warehouse. The boards took 70 days to arrive so that was nice. Also the acceleration from the ESC is not very linear which really matters when your board has four 3, 500 watt motors. you can configure the acceleration, I have 1st gear at 5%, 2nd gear at 10%, 3rd gear at 15% and 4th gear at 20%.

Great Job Bro! I was mainly interested know the tubeless wheels, I got a set coming in so been looking for other opinions, but you brought lots of good points, also, you mean less rolling resistance not more. Lol. Keep them Coming!

[orlandomartinez]

Great video drew keep up the good work! I thought about getting the gear drive for my new hurricane but your right the capability to change wheels and belts is way more superior

[daburna]

Looks like I’m an executive producer 😂😂

[billclark]

Thanks for making the video and editing it I did not have to speed it up which I usually do because you talk nice and fast so thank you so much. I'm wondering if I missed you talking about the difference in The noise each system mix. I have a Backfire Ranger X3 with nice silent hub motors. I want to know If the Meepo Hurricane GEAR drive system is as quiet as the Backfire X3? The only change I would make would be pneumatic tires. But I'm very close to also getting a mepo hurricane gear drive but afraid the noise will bother the heck out of me

[luischalasnyc]

Nice, yeah when it comes to serving, you have to get the parts from Meepo. Other then that it looks awesome - side note Ultra should have been a 2 in 1 too.

[DONALDOBRIAN]

I purchased the gear drive for the hurricane. To me and others they are a lot louder than belt. Don't think I like them for that reason

[denismenacci]

HI, theses new tubeless wheels look awesome. But I have a question .... I suppose they're made to be on 8mm axle, and I suppose it's not possible to change the bearings and put on 12mm axle.... ( to put on Propel endeavor pro ) . Can you confirm ( or not ) what i'm saying please ? Thanks in advance.

[TheGregoryfw]

Id love to know what that Hota 175mm looking tyre was you briefly held up, before you help up the 150mm
