The backfire zealot is a very good board. Coming from a meepo v3 this board has more power and speed. I weigh around 120 pounds and I get 13-18 miles depends if I ride fast or slower. One complaint is very minimal but the concave starts to hurt the back foot a little bit after a long ride. Overall a very good board for the price.

5 days ago I received my board!!!! LIFE CHANGING!! If you love the sport, i spend 4 month reviewing different board and Im glad I waited for the right one, BACKFIRE ZEALOT, ❤️.
NYC riding is so much fun going through Times Square at night is very unique experience. Im also doing 8mile laps on Central park with my personal best of 17:48 minutes…. Just one thing…. I WISH I HAD GOTTEN THIS SOONER!!!
Be safe, and surf on!!
David F.
I rode a friends and had to get my own. Absolutely a blast to ride, well built, quick shipping… I’m a huge fan. Great job Backfire!

I use it For Work and everyday Commuting for necessary resources in life. I’ve Been a trick skateboarder and a long border for about 14 years of my life & Wasn’t sure what to expect from an electric skateboard after doing research for two months before choosing my Zealot Simply Blown Away! To say the least! I have a DIY in mind And Would Love it if you Engineering Team could contact me I wanna do something that’s never been done with one of your boards - I’m always want to got to the next level and I would like to do it with your company! Email if interested @ Relyttheworld713@gmail.com

It was really fun, the breaks and speed are designed very precise!
SiChao C.
I’ve already use it for couple days and it performs well! I skated for about totally 20km back and forth through the beach. It left about half of the battery level. Haven’t tried the turbo mode. The fastest speed I achieved is about 35km/h.
Ethan P.
This board is amazing. It’s one of the nicest boards I’ve even owned and the range is amazing! I haven’t been able to drain the battery to under 50% over the course of a single ride yet. Smoothest ride ever. It’s like driving a sports luxury car.
Charlie R.
I bought this board during the anniversary sale. I live in Canada and they board was shipped from the USA to my house in under a week (seven days). The range is incredible, i can ride to work from my house and then back to my house from work (15 km), and i will till have 3-4 batteries left on my board. I honestly love this board and think it is the perfect board to begin with and it is also a perfect board to be advance with. It is a really affordable price for the board itself, (45 max speed (on turbo mode)), (30 km range) it would be a great Christmas present for a kid, teenager, adult, anyone!

I'm 54 years old I had a skateboard 40 years ago. I have 111 miles on no issues absolutely perfect thinking of trying the 105 cloud wheels soon. I am having a blast feeling like a kid again. Thanks Backfire great job
Michael B.
This thing is the love of my life it does everything you want it to do and then some. Definitely exceeds expectations and worth every penny It is the perfect amount of speed and torque and I weigh 180lbs
Jeremy N.
Absolutely love this thing! It seriously rips
Andrew G.
This board is fantastic! Haven ridden many electric skateboards in the past, this one is the do-it all; the jack of all trades! It’s fast, it has range, and it looks really nice and polished. I threw some Riptide Krank 90a and 93a barrel bushings for extra stability (i weigh 150) but the stock bushings are nice and carvey. no speed wobbles with either that i’ve experienced. This thing’s power is fantastic, i’ve ridden it in san fransisco and it powers up any hill. Haven’t done a range test yet, but I have had no issues with range, never ridden it to less than 40% even with not charging it for 3 days (I commute on it every day). Great board, and I AM going to be buying a Zealot for my dad so he and my brother can ride with me. Overall i’d give it a 9.8/10, i’d love to see even more torque on the next board (but i’m a bit of a speed demon, so the torque shouldn’t be an issue for you) and the remote battery doesn’t last nearly as long as my exway’s does. Just charge it once a week or so. Not a huge issue. the lights are a wonderful touch! Overall great board, can’t recommend a better board at this price point! (under $1000) Well done backfire, well done.
Ryan R.
I love this board so much!!! I have no complaints about it and its perfect for just cruising around.
Joseph L.
Fast shipping and great board ! I got the Zealot and it is more than expected ! Not one problem. Thanks guys
Joe
Tod H.
What a ride! Eco mode is great for slow cruising and carving, Sport mode has incredible acceleration and Turbo…is for suicidal maniacs. It has a custom ride for everyone. I’m looking forward to adding cloud wheels for a more comfy and smooth ride when on those longer adventures.
TJ L.
First e-skate, super stoked. Great outta the box. l love the e vs. sport modes. I’m about 200lbs, so the battery doesn’t last quite as long as stated, but I also rip it pretty hard and there are plenty of small hills that make it work. I wish there was a more prominent readout of battery level once it starts to fade (indicated by vibration) just Jack up the font size for low battery level readouts… it’s tough to read while skating. It would also be super cool to make a spot for an apple airtag inside the board controller (on the board, not the handheld, obviously), just in case. Thing is sick, mad compliments, and cars don’t know what the hell is going on with the ominous purple led glow and head/tailights. 10/10, would recommend.
Gavhon L.
For the most part this board kicks a$$ haha it’s so much fun and has plenty of torque when you’re feeling risky. Haven’t fully done a range test to see how the battery does, but so far the battery has lasted at least a good 16-18 miles and I am not nice to it on hills n stuff. Board has a little rattle sound coming from somewhere in the motors I think, went through and tightened everything but I still hear it. That’s my only complaint I think. Otherwise I would totally recommend. I’ve only put on about 80 miles on the board or so, but it’s all I think about when I get off work haha
Marcus C.
I've had this board for a few weeks now and it's been a blast. I ride it everywhere. There is a lot of power and it's really well made. I especially like that it comes with extras in case anything were to go wrong with it, and there is a solid warranty.
Jarrell M.
This Backfire Zealot S is Amazing in every way. The packaging A+, The Accessories A+, Curb Appeal A+, The Deck strength A+, Power A+, Battery Life A+, Ride Quality A+. Look I'm a heavier rider at 255lbs and this board has no trouble hurling me at upwards of 26mph and getting 17 miles of range at very aggressive driving. Should you buy?? YESSSSSS. I'm almost want to buy a second one just because it's so awesome.
Grant B.
This is one of the best boards on the market! After checking out all kinds of boards in the same price range, I decided to get the Zealot S because many had said that it was a top quality board, they were right! The way the board moves when you're carving or going around corners feels smooth and controlled. The flexible deck and soft wheels make riding on rougher roads more bearable. The power you get from this board is amazing! Looking forward to grabbing some lights so I can ride in the evenings.
Jared R.
Highly recommend getting the cloud wheels with the Zealot S it's an awesome package! I debated for the longest time which board I wanted, finally settled on the Zealot S and have zero regrets on my purchase. I absolutely love the quality, ride, flex, and wheels!

Its like floating on sunshine
Martin G.
Lived in Monterey Bay for many years now and never really had the ability to enjoy the long recreational trail spanning across Monterey County. I love motorsports and this has been the best addition to my Sur Ron e-Bike. I didn't do as much research as I normally do before diving head first into a new hobby but honestly just seeing all the great reviews on here with such awesome images I was sold... The purple ambient lighting was the icing on the cake. The quality of this is top notch. Like others, I have switched to the cloud wheel and this board has become so silent, smooth, and fast! I'm in love with this thing! I work right next to a rec trail access point so keeping this in my trunk for a little after work ride has been awesome.
Samuel P.
I got the bushings replaced and the board feels so much better. Coming from the G2T This thing feels like it has an endless battery. Hill Climb compared to the hub motors is unmatched. It's an incredibly smooth ride.

I absolutely love this board. Everything about it blows me away:the range, the acceleration and top speed, the looks, so many positives and not to mention that Backfire's support is by far the best in the ESk8 business. Looking forward to many years with this ! Thank you backfire for such an amazing well developed board! It gets plenty of looks also which is a nice perk :)
Imran S.
I’ve had my Zealot for a couple weeks now and I absolutely love it! At first, I was a little hesitant to order one considering the huge price tag, but after it came in the mail and I tried it, I can say it’s definitely worth the money spent. The deck is the perfect size for me, and I am able to control it well at high speeds. The acceleration is amazing, and even though it makes a lot of noise (since it’s a belt motor) I actually like to hear the motor as I accelerate, the noise is pretty nice to hear imo. I’m glad I got the zealot, the range and speed are perfect for traveling through small roads and neighborhood streets for quite a while. The brakes are very strong when pressed down all the way (I unfortunately learned that the hard way, but hey, they’re really good brakes), and it’s great at going on uphills as well as sidewalks. I’ve been looking to buy an e-skate for quite a while now and I believe this is the best pick. If you decide to order one, trust me, you will not be disappointed!
Bradly H.
This board is the most fun I’ve had in such a long time!
John F.
Best belt driven street board in the game. This thing shreds! Great torque, hill climbing ability and brakes. So much fun to carve and rip hills.
Venancio N.
This was the 2nd purchase I made with Backfire, the Zealot S came right on time like my 1st order & I'm very happy with my purchase, just like I was the 1st time. I am confident in spending my money with Backfire for the simple reason, I know when I purchase a Backfire Board, I know I'm getting the best bang for my buck.
Nick F.
5 Star experience!! I was scouring through YouTube videos, reviews and Facebook groups for almost 2 months before making a decision that backfire with the brand for me. I put a lot of value in good customer service and I know that you get what you pay for in this world. Backfire has lived up to their amazing reputation and my zealot S is my new baby!! I had an issue with my ESC when the board arrived and backfire sent me a replacement within two days! I would highly recommend this brand to everyone and after 10 minutes on my board yesterday my friend has decided to buy one as well! Thank you Backfire!!
Nick
Sean A.
Overall I'm enjoying it but I had a major issue that caused me to crash going over 15mph. After a few minute break where I left the board on I decided to get back to riding. Apparently the motors turned off but the remote was still receiving info. I figured everything was fine since I was going downhill and the remote was still giving me the speed and battery information. Once I began to near the bottom of the hill that lead into the road I began to try to brake/slow down but the motors were completely unresponsive. Thankfully I was wearing a helmet and kneepads as well as having experience with downhill longboarding or I would have been much more injured even so I bruised most of my right side/hip and have to rely on painkiller's to work. Overall really want to know what happened.
Jose N.
I'd first want to thank Backfire for their amazing customer service prior to my purchase. I reached out several times regarding availability at the time of inquiring and helping me out with pricing when I reached out for help on wanting to buy a board for myself and a gift for my friend. I've now got 21 miles on my board and my friend has 11 miles and we are enoying the feel and quality of the boards and have also had some accidents on the board. Be sure to wear some gear, my fall was really bad but was mitigated with the gear i had, that was user error not product issues. My rear truck did begin to squeak after 10 miles but nothing a little bit of lubricant can't fix. As for my friends board it is going really well no complains whatsoever. Me and my friend agree we would recommend this to anyone looking into getting an electric board.
samuel P.
My only issues with this board is that the bushings are very loose! I first opened it out of the box and did my adjusting but after much tightening the board still feels very soft and unstable. I weigh 168 and I tightened them down but the front bushing is now damaged and going to need replacement. I would say the loose bushings def mess with your riding confidence. The board has a lot to offer but not sure I’m ready to push it.
Michael R.
This is by far the best board I have ever ridden! The torque is amazing and the top speeds are off the charts. I love the control at high speeds and responsiveness of the brakes. Will definitely recommend to all of my friends so we can ride together!
Keith D.
An amazing board at an amazing price. Definitely a great piece of equipment.
Jack B.
It all started with the legendary G3. Decided to upgrade to the zealot S after putting over 3000 miles on the G3. The torque, acceleration and top speed not even mentioning the handling of this work of art is second to none. I love backfire, and will recommend the company to everyone I know.
ian s.
This board is extremely well balanced. The power delivery is smooth, brakes are strong, deck has the perfect amount of flex and the range is on point. I upgraded from the Boosted Board V1, and this is basically a Boosted on steroids. My only recommendation would be to update the iPhone app and give the option to allow the purple lights on the battery to stay on instead of flashing in hyper mode. Premium board for a budget price, thank you Backfire!
Tyler N.
Came quick like 2 weeks, ordered from USA website, great board lot of torque, upgraded from the meepo v3 definitely worth it.
Jose I.
The Backfire Zealot has been the purchase of the year for me. The flex is real and really helps when going high speeds. It curves like a boss and best part is I have zero regrets about the purchase.
Fernando E.
love it, my gf tried it once and now she wants to get one for herself
Chaz B.
I absolutely love this board. I get 19-20 miles per charge weighing 190lbs. Speed and acceleration is insane. Not to mention it's sexy as hell. Good job backfire
Bernd S.
great board, but delivery lasts too long
Jon S.
Board is great, fun, exhilarating, carves well, crushes hills, plenty of speed...buuuuut, I have one major problem and that is the battery. If your looking for range and long life of your battery look elsewhere. I have only put 1000 miles, that's about 50-70 charge cycles and a year and a half of riding and the battery will barely do 8 Miles and that's while babying the battery and weighing only180lb. They claim up to 22 miles of rage fyi. I emailed the company and they basically told me that's how batteries work. So I'm SOL, great...thanks. batteries should last hundreds of charge cycles if you take care of it and I took care of my battery yet this is the end result, so take it with a grain of salt, great board for a very short period of time but my future purchases will be made elsewhere after hearing that from their tech support.
Dennis L.
Super fun board, I’m 220lbs.. Watch out, she’s quick..!!
Oliver C.
Works well! No problems at 46 miles. Lot's of fun, but I need to get the cloud wheels.
Noah R.
Amazing I haven’t had this much fun since I was 12-17 at the skatepark. Great quality, no weird noises, battery lasts a lot longer than advertised. I love this thing, 3 of my friends will be buying soon, can’t wait!
Sam D.
A week after I preferred the Zealot I didn’t think I would make it to the 40-45 day shipping. To my surprise, it got here in about two weeks and had enough power to get and play with it. My son and I went to a favorite trail (he on his longboard) and by the time we made it back to the car, he was ordering his own. This board is amazing! It has the perfect combination at torque and smoothness.
nail g.
Good board with fast acceleration.
David K.
This is my third Backfire board. This one is quickly becoming my favorite.
Geraldino P.
Love this board this is actually my first ever skateboard , it is a easy and friendly way to learn , the board is powerful , so I’ve been playing on the eco mode to get used to it , so far exceeded every expectation…the only problem is , now i have to buy one for my wife , she unfortunately tried…. Thank you backfire amazing product…
Brenda M.
50 miles in a week! Love it! Thank you guys so much!
John S.
One of the best boards you can get
William G.
This is the most fun I have had Inna long time. It's like riding a rollercoaster, but there are no lines, And I get to go for as long as I want.
Luke S.
Best board I’ve ever had. So smooth and amazing speed and range.
Taylor A.
Great board right out if the box. I like the red X's but whish you could choose custom grip tapes with the eched logo. Works great!
Jesse M.
I’ve put about 20 miles on my Zealot S in the last week. I love this board & the beautiful people that made it! In the week I’ve had it, it’s already brought me so much happiness! The factory setup (bushings, pivot cups & bearings) is a good comfortable middle of the road in regard to stiffness of ride, flexibility, lean & softness. I wanted a speed friendly ride so I immediately put Venom bushings on it as well as Riptide pivot cups. I wanted to do this to prevent the death wobble at higher speeds on city-ish streets. I’m keeping the factory Backfire 96mm wheels on it until I see I need something different for my purposes. I also put Bones Reds bearings on all four wheels. Not that the factory bearings weren’t good, I just have a suspension complex that I possibly need counseling for :p. Overall, taking it up & down my local city’s streets downtown just in Sports mode, it had plenty of torque & power to blast me around and I’m about 205lbs. This board is no joke. It’s powerful. The motors will launch your a** into Yeetville if you’re not careful! 10 out of 10, would buy again & recommend.
Hunter E.
I LOVE this board. It FLIES. I'm a 175 lb rider and can easily go on a 14 mile ride and still have 2 bars of battery left. Zealot S >>
brian p.
A few weeks back I got to take a spin on my buddies Backfire Zealot S and I immediately fell in love. I had to own one for myself. I ordered one up and it came in a few days ago. First time out I put 19 miles on it, smiling the whole time! There will be a review of it in my YouTube channel soon.
https://youtube.com/c/PIPSBURGHVIEWS
Andrew S.
So far it’s been a great board I’ve put 50 ish miles on the board and I couldn’t be happier. Some of the bolts came loose but that’s normal for boards on rough roads. I would highly recommend this board for someone that is new to e skating
Paul H.
The Zealot is a dream to ride. The flexible deck acts as shock absorbers and the concave edges keep your feet secured for sharp cornering. The belt drive torque is powerful and I have no issues tackling any of the steep hills around my hilly neighborhood. Battery gives me about 15 miles in S mode with cloud wheels but I went 12 miles in E mode on the original PUs and still had 3 bars left. If you're looking for 20 miles+ get a second battery unless you're 130 pounds.
Ryan M.
Super fun, first eskate, thoroughly enjoying it.
Great it has side lights, hopefully they will have integrated front and rear light in the future. Seems better than having 3 on each side of the battery.
Would love it if it could come with only cloudwheels, as I need them for some streets I ride. Not using the stock wheels. I understand there are reasons that is not offered though.
Finger hole on the controller is fine for me, but I suppose with gloves it would be less than ideal. Could make an adjustable one, or just not have one.
Jevaughn M.
I love it, I’m completely satisfied worth the wait…
Anderson L.
This electric long board is great with lots of speed and torque to cruise around in. Get it... you'll have no regrets!
Antonino G.
Beautiful machine!
Randy S.
It's a lot of fun and if I could go back in time I would buy it again.
Bartosz K.
Just over 100 miles on my Zealot with the bamboo deck. So far everything is working perfectly and the performance of the board is incredible.
Aspen W.
Worth the money, lived up to my expectations.
Dale M.
So far, the zealot is really fun and comfy as compared to the other boards that I have and other brands that I tried..my only issue is that the range factor is not even close to what is approximated. I've seen reviews both youtube vids and articles alike riding at 200-lbs who claim they reach a range of 20 miles and it seems like I can't even go past 16 miles of range. I'm 182-lbs and ride on E-mode most of the time on a flat paved smooth surface/no incline and my expectations were to reach at least the minimum of 17 miles of specified range. I have tried it after 6 charging cycles and all came up with the same results. At this time, the break in period should be at par or close to that range but no luck so far.
Zachary S.
Ride it almost non stop.
Jacob s.
This thing is DOPE!!!!! I've owned electric boards before, but this one is the best I've owned. Normally I'm really worried about damaging my board, but with this one everything is replaceable. From the deck to the gears. It's got plenty of power, and definitely has acceleration. Turbo mode is only slightly scary, and the battery lasts a LOOOOOOONG freaking time. This thing will get you where you need to go AND in style. I've had MULTIPLE cars pull over and ask me about it. Man, occasionally, I PASS cars on the sidewalk. I love it. Shanks
Anthony M.
Great board so far only feel twice in 3 days. Killing it
olivia q.
legit the best thing ever. buy the cloud wheels too for the best experience. i was nervous to buy but actually the best purchase of my life. 100% recommended!!!
Ryan K.
Very happy with this board I bought it for my wife for her birthday but she let's me ride it too
Nicholas K.
Super thrilled with the purchase! Overall the board is very impressive and comfortable to ride. I have been riding skateboards for over 15 years and honestly there have been several moments I have questioned the sketch factor on this thing. The acceleration and speed on this board is a bit startling even if I am in control of it. Also one my favorite parts of this board is the brakes. I have always wanted brakes on a skateboard and there is a certain kind of comfort when you're pulling up to an intersection and being able to stop if you need to. My only complaint about this board, like literally the only complaint is that the wheels are too slick for a vehicle that can go 30 miles per hour. Now I am left with having to purchase a $160 upgrade for more safe wheels. I highly recommend everyone wear their helmets and thick leather gloves for this!
Anakin O.
Very comfortable board. The range isn't what I expected, other than that backfires best carver and great uphill torque.
Chad V.
This thing rips!
I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs. I typically cruise around with my dog in a backpack, so total weight is closer to 205 lbs. With the 105mm cloud wheels in sport mode, I'm easily hitting 15 miles per charge with more to spare. I find the flexibility to be perfect for the type of riding I do. I've never bottomed out due to flex. This is truly the unlimited sidewalk surfing that I yearned for as a kid in the 90s.
The belts and wheels are easily accessible. I've had a few rocks get stuck in the pulleys and cleaning them out is simple. The remote is simple to use and works well. I love this board.
Michael A.
Absolutely love it. The best gift I've ever received. I want to take it everywhere and explore
George B.
Started having problems after only 4 times riding it. I'm only 65kg about 143lbs. The board started to squick when I try to turn left or right.
Bobby B.
Holy Wow! Unbelievable freedom and liberation! If you're on the fence about buying a Zealot or Zealot S, this is your deciding factor - Buy it, you will not be disappointed, especially if this will be your first esk8. This is my first electronic skateboard, and my first time picking up skateboarding in nearly 35 years! I'm 5'11" and 176lbs. Confidence in riding came quickly with this glorious piece of kit. Great flex and stability in the bamboo/fiberglass deck with no bounce or wobble issues at higher speeds. Super strong torque and take-off, and powerful braking to match. Motor noise is minimal and is a non-issue. I have no experience with other trucks or wheels, but turning radius and road grip are also non-issues. While I am considering some Cloudwheels to conquer local brick roads and such, it's just such a smooth ride with the large PU stock wheels.
I think I ordered the board on May 26th, while the US site was saying expected delivery would be on Jun 11th, which is a true test of patience for me... They shipped it just a Few Days Later!! Way sooner than promised!! Admittedly, when I received the my order, the ESC was not functioning properly with one motor not turning at all. A pain in the rear, yes, but these things happen and are forgivable if addressed in good time. Tech Support was ON IT!! I sent a message late in the day, and they got back to me that same evening with some recommendations to try to get it going. Nothing worked. I let them know the next morning, and they got a tracking number for my new ESC to me within a few hours.. Backfire Boards truly has top-notch customer service!!<3 Not only did the new part get to me in good time, but Backfire replaced my Zealot ESC with a Zealot S ESC! I put just over 60 miles on the board in the first week. It would have been at least triple that were it not for the rain that I caused by ordering the ass-kicking Backfire Zealot!!! ...lol! Thank you, Backfire Boards, for a great customer service experience and for making such beautiful and powerful product! Much, much love!

Received earlier than expected with great communication. Product looks amazing but I have nut ridden it yet. Their service deserves kudos and recognition in this industry.
George A.
Safety first!!! Even old farts like myself are allowed to have fun. Got the kiddos their G2 and myself a Zealot. My only regret is NOT haven ordered it sooner!!!
Christopher M.
Purchased the Zealot. Love it. Using it to commute, and recreation. Lot of fun.
Jon G.
The board is fast and overall worth it. However I had assumed I would be getting the updated deck per language used on backfire’s website. Instead, I got the older version. So I’m just disappointed with my purchase.
Daniel M.
5/5 Stars. I've put about 100 miles on my Zealot S so far and man oh man let me tell you the board just gets better with time. After replacing the base plates I also changed out the wheels for Cloudwheels and they make a noticeable difference. For any rider who's mostly on streets or sidewalks these wheels are a must, it makes the already smooth ride even smoother and eliminates most vibrations. This is my FIRST electric board an I'm extremely satisfied with the Zealot S. When your cursing downhill going 25 MPH, the board feels smooth with no shakes, it gives you confidence to attack any hill and demolish the pavement. It is absolutely worth the extra money to get this board over any entry level boards and other brands. I've read many reviews and comparisons and the Zealot or Zealot S seem to be at the top in most peoples lists. The brakes are responsive, and the board moves so fast it can feel like you're punching a hole thru the fabric of space and floating across the roads. The "hum" of the motor sounds like a turbo in a car which I really like and it's just loud enough to make other people aware of you. Backfire support helped me with an issue immediately and having support centers in the USA is reassuring. I was debating on buying this board for a while and trust me go with this one, you will not be disappointed.
Quinn D.
ordered my Zealot S yesterday. i've been using G2 black for about 2 years now with about 1200 miles on it, and now im starting to experience some major issues such as half of the boards range is lost due to electrical problems that I will have to send the board back to be repaired and looked at. The estimated delivery time is 40-45 bisness days or about 8-9 weeks which is definetly a bit of a wait especially considering the price tag. That being said I am still incredibly excited to recive it and I hope it will outlast the budget board.
Josh R.
Has a ton of torque, great ride feel, had the g2s, to the g3, now to the zealot s. Backfire is a brand I trust.
Dabi M.
My first eboard and I’m really loving it! Great stability, great braking system, and really digging the purple lights! Overall extra belts and pulleys can’t complain.
Eric M.
The deck has great flex, turning & handling is very very good compared to the Galaxy (which I still love) and the power, wow, very very fast, I'm going to pickup a full face helmet for this bad boy.
Udi D.
Awesome board so far. Really happy with it.
Dwayne F.
Just bought a new Backfire Zealot S board and oh man is this board is good yes it’s expensive but i think if you buy it you wont be disappointed. I love every minute of every ride if you buy a backfire board you know you will get quality they stand behind there products great customer service. The Zealot S has some stand out features which i love 1 it has standby mode which allows you to turn the board with the remote without having to Bend down to turn on the power switch of board, 2 it has purple lights which look cool on night rides and the implementation of a USB port to charge things like the remote or your phone in a snap is a plus. So for all the money again the zealot is is great good performance good top speed close to 30 mph if not 30 amazing range fun ride. What are you waiting just buy the board already and have fun 2 thumbs up backfire
Herman M.
Best overall skateboard when it comes to speed and performance!

My first Backfire Board and eskate in general! Feels great out of the box. Very carvy and nice speed and acceleration. I love how Backfire handled their issues with the truck baseplates and sent over the replacements asap! I will definitely be looking forwards to buying more things from backfire soon!

Backfire handled the baseplate recall perfectly! Replacements came about two weeks behind the board itself even though I ordered days before the recall. Honestly, this is how a company should take care of its customers. Bravo Backfire, you’ve made a life-long customer.

First time ever owning an electric longboard and I do not regret my purchase at all, the Zealot S was worth every dime and has brought me many hours of enjoyment. If you’re debating getting this board I 100% encourage anyone to do so!

This is my third Backfire board. After owning a G3, and X2, the new Zealot S got me even more stoked.
Superior quality and the best customer service you can ever ask for. These peoe really stand behind their brand and are very proud of all Backfire products.
