My FIRST EVER Electric Skateboard! | Backfire Zealot *Vlog/Range Test (Sports Mode)*

Warning: Long-ish video! Feel free to skip ahead as you please, or if you enjoy watching riding esk8/e-scooter videos like I do, it would be highly appreciated you watch the whole thing :)

I finally decided to pull the trigger and get myself two electric skateboards after months of contemplating. I could not justify Boosted's electric skateboard pricing ever since I discovered them in 2015 through Casey Neistat's vlogs (Boosted Inc. is out of business now btw). I am SO glad I waited until 2020 as the esk8 market continued to improve and release competitive electric skateboards at a very competitive price. There are so many electric skateboards to choose from and I decided to go with the Backfire Zealot and Wowgo 2S. I'm still learning how to ride an electric skateboard, and I practiced for 2 weeks before making this video. Here, I tested the range of the Backfire Zealot in Sports Mode at my usual "boosted rev" e-scooter route, but round trip instead of just going one round. Backfire claims that the Zealot has 17.5 - 22 miles of range for a 176lbs. rider riding in Sports mode at 18mph speed on a flat road. I'm a 180lbs. rider with my backpack and equipment (DSLR, Laptop, extra batteries, water), and the trail I ride on involves some fairly decent hills and rough road.

Would it replace my Boosted Rev electric scooter as my daily commuter? I don't know, but it's certainly a lot fun for long joy rides (plus I look cool doing those sexy carving with the board!)
