Good board but didn’t get the full extent of the range it had said. Only able to get a full 8 miles max on the board. Customer wasn’t very helpful unfortunately either.
Terry J.
Currently have 1360 miles of flawless shredding fun. This board has been incredibly good and reliable. ZERO ISSUES IN 1360 MILES!!!
Andrew M.
Going to buy a board in the near future, but would be really satisfied if you had an option for remotes, I’m left handed so it would be great if your remotes came made for both left and right hands
Chris C.
This board scoooots, get a helmet and some wrist guards. I'm fine . Loving ❤️ this skate board.
Kyle L.
Have not got near 28 mph, I am 135 lb so probably the lightest Rider there could be. Range varies from 11 to 14 miles. The flex in the deck is noticeable, allowing for a smoother ride over the G2 black
Joseph S.
Works amazingly better than expected the breaks are a little touchy but I guess that’s what you expect from something called a break lol
Jason S.
Board is amazing. Its so fun. I use it to get to and from work. Makes the comute a blast. Customer service is very helpful also.
Joel C.
G3 quality and strength
Alex P.
Worth every penny. Upgraded from a Galaxy G2. I will probably get a Zealot next. Once I hopped on one for the first time I was hooked
BURKE N.
VERY FUN, ill be buying another one soon
Grant B.
I Love it!!! I am a 48 year old professional in Denver and don't have time to get to the same mountains in Colorado to Snowboard that I grew up on. This board satisfies my need to carve and have some fun in the city!! I do have more pics from my marketing director if you would like to contact me for more (or simply check out Facebook 9x Mortgage - Grant Brewster , or my personal page for more pics and videos to follow in the future...) I recommend the Backfire G3 to anyone looking to get into electric longboards.
Christopher V.
One of the funniest things I’ve done in a long time bored is awesome
Alexis V.
Bro ke my first board but I knew I had to get the same one...great board thanks guys!
Robert F.
Love it love it love , I’m an old man that road skate boards as a kid , I adapted fast , No Fear ! This G3 is Bad Ass , worth every penny !!!
Robert C.
After a long research, I finally settled for the G3. I purchased the board as a Christmas for for my son. The board arrived within 3 days. I decided to charge it and test the board. Unfortunately, it would not power on. I contacted Backfire support and they were responsive. After a few back and forth emails, I decided to return the board and not exchange it. I purchased my second choice from another brand but even with that I had problems with customer service and shipping. So, I decided to go back to Backfire and purchase another G3. The board arrived within 3 days and again, I charged it and turned it on. This time the board worked. My son was very happy with the board. I even tried it myself and went max speed. It was fun. Quality of the board is first class and as I mentioned earlier, Backfire is very responsive.
Melissa F.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband. Unfortunately he has never been able to use it because it won’t turn on even though it says it’s fully charged. I am SO disappointed. Especially because this is a gift and for the price I paid there shouldn’t be any issues.
Robert F.
Old Man is Rolling … love it
Braydon R.
Battery is only good for 10 miles, and I am 120LBS. It’s usually 70-80degrees where I live. So I know the weather and weight has nothing to do with the false advertisement on the battery
Max W.
I haven’t been on an e board for a while but I got ahold of this one pretty quick and it’s a BLAST! It handles super nicely and the speed settings are nice too. I haven’t reached top speed yet because that’s a bit scary but other than that I absolutely love it.
Not tryna be an asskisser either, this board is legitimately awesome
Robert F.
Got the Board in less then 2 days , went online read the does and don’ts I’m 56 so it’s definitely a mid life crises issue :-) and I’m nuts , but I was a skateboard rider as a kid and have great center of gravity… I took it out heeding all user manual warning… absolutely a blast can’t wait to practice again, I’ll keep y’all posted ☠️
Leonard B.
Board arrived on time / first ride was 5 miles / started on eco mode to get the hang of it / by mile 3 was on sport mode / take your time and find your stance / so far / I am happy.
Ashton W.
Ordered the G3 and absolutely love it! Haven’t had this much fun in years. When I initially got the board the remote wouldn’t pair with the board. I contacted Backfire and within 24hrs a new one was shipped to me. I sent back the original and I’ve been riding since. Great customer service and the board is so smooth. Will definitely buy my next board from Backfire!
Christapher C.
Works well. batteries die faster than I thought it would and cant get remote to charge other than that good product
Ryan S.
Fast, long range, and fun!!
JAMES J.
I didn't know what fun it was going to be I got a g3 thinking it would be a good commuter but now look at this beautiful piece of art everything is stock except the deck and the hardware to hold the battery and esc
Daniel A.
Incredible fast board way better than expected
Customer
I absolutely love the board. I am 17 and I don't have a car, so I needed to get something else for transportation. And I already knew how to skateboard, so I thought electric longboard. And I thought right. Backfires boards are high quality, reliable, and easy to use. I would highly recommend their boards to any one.
Dale .
You guys so fast with shipping, the board got here before the helmet so i cant ride yet. Everything so far is awesome
Davis H.
Absolutely exceptional product. I love showing it to my friends because everything on the board is such high quality. The flexible board and led lights make the riding experience amazing any time of day. For instance, I was hesitant to buy the board because sidewalks are bumpy and uncomfortable to ride on but the boards flexibility acts like a shock, soaking up every bump with ease. Not only are the lights a cool feature to show off, they work so well. It is great that at night, all I have to do is click the power button and the lights come on, making every car and person aware of my movements. I know it sounds like I am selling the product, but I am just so thankful that every time I turn on the board it is going to perform the same fantastic way it always does. Thank you backfire for making my class changes an experience to look forwards to.
Glen S.
I absolutely love the board with the exception of one thing. I get a vibration in the back when I hit about 15-17 miles an hour all the way up faster from there that is very noticeable and can feel it in my rear foot. I cannot tell if it is the urethane wheel sleeves or the hubs. I’d love to get this resolved as this board has been an absolute blast to ride. My rear foot goes numb from the vibration on longer rides. I’ve put about 100 miles on the board and everything else works very well.
Kim G.
Its my first electric skateboard. Everything feels solidly built! Send to reach around 18 miles with me being 155-160lbs!
Ron B.
The board is awesome. The power will surprise you. I have hills on campus at UCONN and it handles them with ease. The cloud donut wheels are smooth and a great addition
Daniel P.
Love it, I usually snowboard but lockdowns and family have kept me away, this is great, best thing I’ve bought in years, I come back from a run with a massive smile.
Milo R.
(It’s the only photo I have so far) - A friend showed me his G3 a few weeks ago. He knew how to skate, I didn’t (kickoff was way too wobbly for me). But when I rode 30 feet on it, I could see in my mind, my dog could be running alongside me much more than my weary work-day legs. I wanted that so much, forcing myself to learn to skate wasn’t even a decision. I bought a G3 about two weeks ago, and I feel like Hermes with wings on my feet! My dog is already showing a slight slimming, and I’m now finally able to take him out for a good walk before work, in that slim hour I have before leaving from 7-6:30. The G3 is as much for my fuzzy buddy as it is for me. It’s serving all the needs I hoped it would, and I’m learning even more as I become more comfortable and explorative on it.
P.S. He has already shown his American foxhound size to a mini schnauzer who came running at us. But the little mustached yapper was wagging his tail, to be fair.
Joshua M.
Not only did it get in the mail just days after I ordered it online but was blown away by the smooth ride! It’s the perfect commuter board. Couldn’t be happier!
Aaron G.
Great board, works amazing compared to my old one and I’ve been riding it all around since I’ve got it and it’s just perfect!
Charles W.
Not even two months in and already the screws holding the battery in place fell out exposing the battery. Clearly someone at quality control not doing their job. What no loctite?
Aaron G.
I love this thing. I’m still kind of an Amateur when it comes to riding E-boards. But I have to say the few rides I’ve taken it on have been the smoothest, quietest, rides I’ve ever had. Compared to my old e-board. I will never stop riding my new G3 board!
Dana A.
I love my backfire skateboard. Is the best thing I could have brought to ride in Ocean City by the beach!!!!
Bill S.
This was my first electric skateboard purchase and I am loving it!
Thomas C.
I'm 44. Never skated in my life. My nephew bought a zealot s. I tried it and loved it. I offered a g3 for myself. It's very fun. Love the lights. Only complain is trucks were squeaking after 3 days but I think we fixed that. Overall very fun
Kevin K.
The Backfire G3 is really remarkable! I feel very stable on the board and I LOVE the flex! I just bought a WowGo3 and a TeamGee H20 last week. I like the Backfire G3 the best! Not just because it’s faster, which it is… You see, I normally ride at 10-17mph or 17km-23km. But it’s the feel, confidence and comfort I get from the G3 that’s so good. Not to mention the better distance! I love riding it to the beach here in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Abdulelah S.
it is so fast, works great with uphills, but it's too heavy for me to pick up, I think a handle would be great.
AMANDA G.
Right side rear wheel/hub motor is already making a clicking sound.
Gregory H.
Love the longboard…I commute with it daily from work in Honolulu Hi. Super comfy and I get a lot of attention while riding it. So Dope!!!!
Connor C.
The board goes very fast, and is very enjoyable. Huge thanks to backfire!
Ethan J.
I had no idea it would be this good. I am a first time rider that was struggling to decide between the Backfire board and a lower-spec, cheaper Wowgo 2S Pro. I made the choice for the Backfire due to its flexy Bamboo deck (it really is flexy, and comfortable in person) and its extended range (I am 200 pounds and get around 13-14 miles, riding hard). The 96mm wheels make riding this board so smooth and comfortable, and the Caliber 2 trucks in front and back prevent speed wobbles from ever occurring. I could not be more happy with my purchase. I can only hope the quality of this board will continue into its life of use, but I am sure Backfire will provide good customer service in the unlikely event of anything breaking. Thank you, Backfire Boards! You make an excellent product.
Eric A.
Frist electric board and I love it. I love how well it rides, great handling, and very impressed with how well it can climb hills at my weight (215lbs)
Eric A.
The first electric board I bought and I love it. Great ride, handles wells, and I was impressed how well it could go up hills being at my weight (215lbs). Great buy
Declan G.
The Backfire G3 is so much fun and especially fast. However I do find myself running low on the board battery even after I pace myself around 20 mph which could be completely normal. Afterall, this is my first board so I could just be going too fast to hit the minimum 15 mile mark that is advertised for the board. Overall this is a great purchase that I do not regret.
Ezra S.
This is the BEST purchase I’ve ever made. It goes REALLY fast and it’s definitely water proof! I’ve been on really big puddles and in water dams or something and it still works! I’ve been in really crazy terrain and it works like a beast, and it also works on grass! <The grass has to be thin and flat tho> but anyways- if your also trying to be a noticed this is perfect. I live in Miami and literally everyone looks at you. This board never let me down. And the only thing I don’t like is that the controller shows kmh. Because I use mph and it’s a little confusing to me. But it’s really awesome tho. Oh and the controller isn’t water proof but I put it in rice and it’s fine now. But thanks backfire. This board is amazing. I would definitely do some more purchases with you in the future.
Theodore L.
The board is great. No problems I am not sure how long the brakes are going to hold up so far so good it has six months of riding and no problems. Too fast I never put it in turbo mode. I wish the grip tape Would stay on the board. And all of the small pieces in the word backfire on the grip tape came off.
Niko W.
First I got the g2 black I loved it so I wanted a better model so I got the g3 now. My g3 is amazing with the cloud wheels makes us so much smoother it’s so much fun and plenty of speed. Great stability and control as well. I plan on getting the zealot or ranger next.
John S.
Best Bang for your buck, Backfires the only brand you should go for!
Jordan o.
just got mine today, decided to ride it home from work. Keep in mind this is only 2 miles from my house to work, and when I got home 2 bars of battery left with 13 miles on it!!!
Well worth every penny, love it!
Ryan M.
This board is exceptionally well built - I’m coming from a board that broke down and was unable to be repaired (company went out of business). This was a comparable board in terms of price, but the Backfire has exceeded my expectations. Super smooth acceleration, great control and build quality. I highly recommend it.
Hunter H.
I absolutely love it. From the quiet hubs to the flexible bamboo deck. This thing is an dream to ride and one hell of a fun time. To it's maneuverability and durability, I truly think this is one of the best e boards out there. I have taken out nearly everyday I have had it. It truly is a blast if fun
Michael G.
Love it! So much fun to ride. A lot of power from skateboard. Obviously love it.
Ryan F.
Quick shipping, awesome board. Super comfortable to ride, would highly recommend.
Gabriel A.
Great beginner board, it’s not the most expensive but it’s also not the cheapest in quality. However, one downside is that I suggest not getting the bamboo board it is a little too flexible. I would highly recommend these boards.
clinton d.
Great beginner board, if your going to get the g3, spend the little bit extra and get the zealot, the increased range is a HUGE factor. I’m going be purchasing another battery to swap out for double the range on my g3
clinton d.
Simply amazing.... I got the g3 but I would definitely recommend if your going to put the money into a g3 to just go with the zealot, it has double the range and is only 100-200$ difference. Still loving the g3 but wish I had gotten the zealot.
Liz W.
This is my first electric skateboard and I absolutely love it. I first rode the Zealot owned by a friend but ultimately opted for the G3. I had a lot of questions about the design, cost, specs, etc that were all answered via FB messenger over the course of a couple of days while I was researching. I've had the board for about 2 weeks and I've put almost 100 miles on it. My longest ride was well over the estimated range, but I'm only 125lbs and coasted on a lot of hills.
Pros: Fast, fun, relatively smooth, great range, quick charge, quiet. Great deck flex.
Cons: There is a soft spot up the middle that I have been told is where the wires run under the deck tape. I'm not sure why it's soft there as it makes me feel like there is nothing protecting the wires other than the deck tape. I'm told that's normal though so time will tell. Lastly, this sucker is heavy. I really wish they'd put a handle in the deck to facilitate carrying it. If they'd put a handle in the deck it would be perfection.
I can't get enough of this thing.
Dustin M.
It’s a great board to ride around on. I got it for school so I don’t have to use a car all the time. It goes fast enough to satisfy my need for speed. Definitely recommend getting safety equipment wiped out on first day and scrapped my hand pretty bad. But very nice board over all.
Klint N.
Been using it for a week, commuting to work. It's been a joy to ride, the boards flexibility is very comfortable, the large 96mm wheels have taken Everything I have thrown at it, including going over light rail tracks. Battery range is good, I've never done any maximum tests but I'm easily riding 10 miles a day with battery left.
Brandon A.
This is the first time I’ve ever been skateboarding, and I love it. The board is stable and easy to learn on, but still can be aggressive and fun as you get better and better. The battery last plenty long, I’ve taken this on hours long rides and had only lost a few bars. I’ve gone through a couple puddles by mistake but I have not had any issues this far. The board came quick and I’ve been riding it daily since. The only issue I can point out, which is a very nit-picky issue, is that I have a very hard time reading the remote screen with my Polaroid glasses on. It is not a big issue at all, and frankly probably not an easy fix, but I at least wanted to point it out. Thank you backfire!
Roberto B.
Fast and fun! The Backfire G3 is awesome, I am able to ride 12 miles, come back home and still have battery.
Best purchase of the year to enjoy the outdoors.
Thomas H.
Not me just like it.
Leo S.
Amazing purchase! I haven’t been on a skateboard or longboard in years and I had a friend show me his G2 and I loved it! 45 minutes later I justified spending a few more bucks and bought the G3 and being satisfied is an understatement. This thing rips and is an amazing source of fun and adrenaline especially if you have some good trails that are accessible. It says you should be 14 and over but if you let your young ones use this than make sure they have all their gear, this thing can go fast! Aside from the amazing product itself, the customer service is top notch and they will honor their warranty for any defects if any. Although build quality is really great too! Also, I’ve seen many ads pop up for many other board companies but it seems like Backfire earned its good reputation through quality products and services rather than advertising. Couldn’t be happier!
Andreas L.
Definitely worth the money! It’s very fast and lasts longer than advertised you can 100% get more than 20 miles in a trip weighing at 150! Wish it was a little lighter but overall you should get this!
Andreas L.
This board is fast! Lasts very long, longer than they advertise and I weigh about 140 something. It’s been about 3 days and if the remote tells you how many miles you’ve gone I’ve already put 50 on :) i love this board only thing I dislike is that it’s a little too heavy. So if you want a board that is fast can go long distances and is very quiet definitely without a doubt get this one!!
Violet K.
Only had it for 9 months with under 4 months of actual riding time in and under a thousand miles, now batteries burnt out after 80 charges. I've had one problem after another with this thing, broken deck and broken power switch just 2 weeks in, then the back wheels broke and screws came through the back side after a few months and I had to pay to replace and fix them, still don't understand how that damage was my fault and how it wasn't under warranty? I'm supposed to give them more money and trust that a new battery is going to last any longer this time?! What a waste of time and money!
Julian M.
Crazy fun board been skating my whole life was sponsored as a kid and this is truly a remarkable piece of machinery feels like a normal skateboard but handles like you would want a board that goes 28mph, again awesome product definitely recommend buying
Charlie H.
no voltage drop, amazing speed. had this board for a couple months and haven't ran into any durability issues, all the parts are still running smooth. highly reccomend
Troy M.
I love this board! After a night of board games with my kids. I got a reminder of how awesome a piece of transportation a skateboard is, so I stated riding one in my neighborhood at night after work to wind down. The gear head in me thought how awesome if I could have a motor on my board, after a four month search of the boards available I decided to go with the G3 bamboo deck board. I have had it about two years and have 330 km on it. It always puts a smile on my face and a cramp in my left calf. The board is so low maintenance. The price point in is awesome. The G3 is ripping fast for a 51 year old skater. Actually took it up to Banner Elk and road it down the mountain. The brakes were awesome and allowed me to control the decent. I couldn’t ride it back up the inclines where to high, I tried and could cook eggs on the motors. I am loving my board and just want to thank you for the rush and your dedication to an awesome fit and finish.
Chase R.
It has now been a week since I got the board and now that the weather is warming up, it works even better than at first. 10/10 would recommend anyone like myself who wants to get into riding.(I am an average of 206lbs and it still rides smoothly)
Jared S.
With so many choices out there for electric boards it’s impossible to make even an educated guess about which brand to go with. I had already purchased a Bustin Sportster hybrid & a maxpro 2 when I stumbled upon backfire. I bought the G3 during the Black Friday sales event & paid less for it than either of my other two boards. It out-performs both of them... & for less money. I took that as a sign... I’ve now built two diy boards using backfire equipment & bought the ranger x2 & zealot S. I’ve ridden evolves, one wheels, & an array of other boards & PEVs. Nothing comes close to the consistency I’ve received from backfire. Just a fantastic company making fantastic boards. I know the term “boosted killer” gets thrown around a lot in the eskate community, but the zealot S is the board that boosted would be competing against if Boosted was still around. Thank you to the all the peeps at Backfire & keep at it, you guys are seriously kicking ass.
Calvin W.
Worth every penny so far. 45 miles in two days. Scary fast and the battery lasts longer then your legs will. Couldn’t have imagined it would be this fun and practical. Make sure you get the discounts, I wouldn’t pay much more than $650 for the g3
Colton H.
I love my G3 I've been riding it to work every day for a few weeks now and its amazing. I've only skated for about 2 years now and this is definitely my favorite board I've ever owned. I just wish there were more options for hub motor wheels. I would recommend one of these to anyone who loves skating or anyone in general bc its just so much fun.
IceWallowCome
My back left wheel is making a weird noise and can’t find anything online on how to fix it.
Bradlyn w.
It was exactly what I wanted
Aaron B.
Great price and the ride is fantastic! It is a little bit of a rougher ride than I was expecting, but overall not bad. The speed and distance seems rot be great. I love it!
Chad C.
First electric skateboard. Last time I was on a skateboard was back in middle school. The G3 has been amazing. Thank you. At 205lbs it gets me up our steep hills with ease.
Jonathan A.
Love this board thank you !
Robert H.
Take that stimmy and stimulate your brain and body. This board will have you smiling and have your heart pumping. Even the lesser models will still be pretty damn fun because people don't understand 15mph is still pretty quick on a board. Once you get use to riding that when you crave more speed, I've ride it on turbo 25-28 and I still wanna go faster.
Alex Rivas
I am 236lb yes I know I k ow I am a fatty.. But it is still something I and many other people like me have to consider when buying a board of any kind. So I am honestly surprised and amazed how well built and funconal the back fire g3 is for people of my waight. Backfire did an amazing job with this board I got the speed they promised and then some on this board. The range was only a little deminised (only about 2 miles less) from what was advertised. UT at my waight that a given for any board. I recommend this board to anyone who is heavier-set Rider and is having trouble looking or deciding on board I was not disappointed backfire with forever have my vote.
Aljon Jammin Abobakar
The board doesn't seem to loose performance until 0% battery life. I gave this board a 4 star because water can easily enter and DAMAGE your battery. Both ports seem to open from the vibration when riding letting in water and moisture to seep into the electrical components. This is very noticeable when you start to see a green liquid or paste pouring out of your ports. Haven't used my board and currently waiting for any response.
Adam Brooks
I highly recommend the G3. For most of my life Mnt Bikes have been my choice to get around. Hitting the trails and flying over anything in my way or a long urban assault ride in town.
Road bikes never pleased me because they are so delicate and you feel limited sesrching for smoother roads. This board makes those limitations disappear. The fun factor is off the chart.
The speed and torque will not disappoint. My first board was the Pheonix Ryder Siren and I got borred with it after 3 months and 200 miles. My grandson rides it now when we take road trips averaging 12 miles. He is light enough so the Sirens battery sag isnt a problem. Im 189 lbs pushing 200 with backpack and heavy coat during the winter months and the G3 doesnt care!
The wheel sleeves are still in perfect condition even after riding rough roads and hitting plenty of rocks and cracks on the road. The wheel sleeves on the Siren started showing signs of wear on the first ride and they cant be replaced without buying new hub motors and going through the trouble of replacing them.
My only advice it to buy spare wheel bearings for the front wheels to swap them out after a few hundred miles. Clean and lube your old ones to have ready for the next 200-300 mile swap.
The rear motor bearings will need service in time. Im sure the Backfire tech team can help if your not the type to work on your own board. They have excellent response time and will be glad to help.
I know because I had questions about the bearings and they didnt waste time responding. During the holidays too.
You will not be dissapointed in the G3 and riding it will be on your mind everyday!!!
I ride it 10 miles to the grocery store every Saturday morning while traffic is low and that isnt the closest store to my house.
The freedom you feel while carving the road on a good deck is indescribable even if its a trip to the store.
I can only imagine what its like to ride the X3 all terrain board. Its next on my list of must haves!!!
Lotus
Just 5 stars. I can fly by everyone in traffic and can keep up with cars at 25 mph speed limit zones. Takes cracks and acorns/rocks very well and have never fallen off on it even after 100 miles on the odometer and I have never rode a skateboard before this. I got it 545 During their Blackfriday/Christmas sale and I couldn't be happier. My remote stopped working one day and Backfire replaced it no questions asked.
If I get more money I will most likely buy the Ranger X3 as I love doing business with Backfire. Get a G3 you will not regret it.
Morgan Sinnock
The speed and stability of this board is amazing. I've pushed 26mph (44kph) with loose trucks and felt in control. The board's ability to climb hills is pretty astounding to me; it's taken me up long, steep hills at decent speeds. Braking is good, though not terribly strong if you're speeding--you just have to brake in advance. Battery life seems to be plenty; I've never run the board to 0%, though on trips with many hills and lots of turbo riding the battery holds on. And finally, carrying this board around isn't too bad. I could hold it in one hand for 10 minutes walking around in a grocery store fine, you just have to hold it with a death grip. The G3 is lots of fun for when I just want to cruise around town, and really helpful for making commutes. And you can't beat the price for this type of quality!
ERICO BEHMER
My first board was a Galaxy G1 (2017 version) that I bought used in 2020 just to try an electric longboard for the first time. I falled in love with it and I came for a brand new G3 in order to get bigger wheels and longer range. It was everything I wanted... great range... flexy and concave enought, smoother in my city roads and faster. Very happy with my new board.
Chris Shaver
First Ride on my new G3 and I was blown away. I surf and ride Carver skateboards a lot. The G3 is literally a powered Carver. You can truly surf the street! The bamboo deck is phenomenal and feels alive under your feet. It actually springs back when you carve it. I'm 6'2€ and 205 pounds. The board doesn't flex too much under my weight. It's perfect. The 12sp is very strong and I notice no voltage sag. I used to have a Meepo V3 that was very powerful, stiff but had a lot of voltage sag once the battery got to 65% or below. After comparing them I put the Meepo up for sale And bought two more G3's for my sons and a Galaxy because it looks so cool. I'll probbaly grab a G3 Plus sometime soon. By the way, all four boards were delivered within 48 HOURS of placing my order!!! Thanks Backfire for an amazing product. I smile when I ride it.
Michael Sherman
I dont 5 star anything really, unless im legit happy with purchase and have nothing bad to report. My g3 gets it though. Was my first board and was skeptical about the whole experience, what brand to go with etc. This board has brought me zero regrets. Absolute beast and gets it done for me. At 600 miles now and not one issue. Charges fast and rips when its go time. Well deserving of a stroll back to leave an unbiased review and tip of the hat, good job guys
Scott Johnson
Love this board! I also have the ranger x2 and I love switching up between the two this board is way more rigid but you can get some big huge nice carve's out of it. Super fast, you definitely can't go wrong with is purchase. It's better than snowboarding!
Devin Tobin
My first and only board was the G3. I sold it a while back because I was going to go with something more for all-terrain but wanted speed. That's not easy to find for under the cost of double the G3. After weeks of looking around, I decided I should have just stuck with it so I just ordered another. The deck is perfect, handling is dead-on with whatever adjustments you need, and my gps has gotten me at up to 32mph in the right conditions. The motors are silent while riding and the overall look is really clean. Awesome board and looking forward to my new one showing up.
Montana Tran
Lots of power, plenty of torque, climbs hill with ease. The board reaches 28 mph as stated, although I wouldn't ride at that speed for too long. Stable at higher speeds, I usually cruise at the 15-20 mph mark.
Turning was a bit stiff at first with stock bushings, but since changing to Orangutang bushings, turning and carving are so smooth and effortless. Battery-wise, weighing in at about 140 lbs, I've gotten 20+ miles multiple times with 24 miles being my personal best, which is ridiculous. All in all, exceeds my expectations.

Purchased the G3 and I am a HAPPY CAMPER. It's a GREAT INVESTMENT. I commute to and from work which is a total of 6.4 Miles EVERYDAY.
This BIG BOY TOY ROLLS OVER BUMPS, CRACKS, NYC MANHOLE COVERS, YOU NAME IT.
I am almost 200 LBS and I get about 12 - 14 Miles on a Charge. Not bad at all.
It's EXTREMELY FAST ON ACCELERATION; AND YES, I GOT THIS THING UP TO 28MPH, IT HAS A LOT OF TORQUE. And the Braking is REALLY SMOOTH as well.
Aesthetically, it LOOKS GREAT and has some WEIGHT TO IT.
Overall I AM SATISFIED, as this is my 1st E-Board and BACKFIRE HAS DONE IT FOR ME. Pricing was good at $649 and delivery was fast when I PAID FOR AIR SHIPPING which cost $150 More.
THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME AS I ENJOY CARVING UP THE NEW YORK CITY STREETS. Lmao

This board is crazy fast and crazy fun the wheels eat up huge rocks I've accidentally hit a couple big ones trying to dodge them but end up hitting them and it just rolls right over. I totally think this board is worth the money in fact I think they should be priced higher for what you're getting these things are totally awesome I will be a backfire purchaser in the future when I'm ready to upgrade or replace
