Ordered as a replacement because my old remote quite literally got stolen during a robbery. Ordered with priority and got it super fast. I also fell on the remote right after receiving it, and the spring popped out. Support got back to me in less than a few hours and gave me instructions on how to fix it. Definitely recommend.

Amir G.

Amazing

Debra N.

Just what I needed to update my board, thanks Backfire!

nick S.

I got this board back in September of 2021. It is a monster and I use it practically everyday. Just don't drop it down horizontally otherwise the battery will break, but the 180 day warranty does come in very handy.

Scott A.

burning it up

William G.

Awesome company love there boards

Matthew H.

Just what I needed. The battery went funny on the original with the board and it was a quick turnaround getting the replacement. Linked perfect and off I went again. Thanks

Corey S.

The remote is great, responsive, and makes me feel confident when riding fast. However, about two years after purchasing, it no longer charges at all.

Gavin T.

Easy to grip and hold in whichever hand you prefer. I used to have a Walmart bike mirror on mine so that I could look behind me, while riding, without actually turning my head. Very comfortable feeling, and easily able to adapt to the sensitivity of the throttle.

Sergio I.

Love it

Len B.

Crappy battery life - it came with my G3 - never held a charge longer than 20 minutes - since i got it brand new with board - I like the G3 board - but because of this remote not holding a charge - my whole experience is ruined.

Stanley H.

I lost my remote to my Backfire Zealot on a Friday and ordered a new remote the next Monday. The new remote arrived quickly, that Wednesday. Well designed remote and very comfortable. Excellent shipping time. Highly recommend over any Hobbywing remote.

Dawn H.

quick delivery and it works great. thank you!!

Levi D.

I just got remote it will pair to board but keeps discounting and reconnecting.

Gavin T.

Easy to connect, even easier to fix. I took a spill which disconnected the spring internally connected to the throttle. Thought I was going to have to buy a whole new remote but was able to fix it in just a couple minutes, and I haven't had a problem since. Great feel and so comfortable you forget you're holding it. I also managed to creatively attach a bike mirror onto it, so I no longer need to turn my head to look behind me when I'm riding on the roads evading traffic.

Colby N.

Good board man!

Robert H.

To expensive

Antonio M.

Love it

Anthony M.

Soo I wish I wouldn't have gotten the remote.when it got here I went to turn my board on and yup ...nope .it doesn't turn on unless it's hooked up to the charger the battery says it's full but as soon as I disconnect the charger it turns off it worked when I last used it Soo dumb

George

The remote does not enter sports mode I doble click the S/E button and does not do anything Was told by tech to go to the app to remove speed lock but the app does not work just keeps saying system error They just keep telling me to pair it again and that does not work

Alex C.

Bought this as an extra because I’ve taken a few bails. Off road these remotes can take a beating, thought I should have extra. They work awesome and are easy to use. 4 stars cause I wish they were better protected (like a case or non point lasting body) and they are super expensive on top of an already super expensive set up (x3). All awesome stuff though, can’t imagine not having this set up in my life.

Angel P.

It’s good

Tony C.

The R3 remote is superb ergonomic fits great in your hand, I love the rolling wheel for throttle the buttons are easily accessible and with the zealot S you can access standby mode to turn the board and remote on or off Simultaneously loving both my boards and hardware!

Philip L.

Love my replacement remote, can't tell the difference. These are so comfortable in your hand, love the finger hole.

Grant G.

Throttle is fantastic and smooth. I love the easy access buttons and I love having a switch to control direction of the board. I just wish there was a rubber plug to keep water out of the controller

Erik H.

Needed a replacement after my last one kissed the pavement. It paired with my board in about 10 seconds and even remembered the mileage. It works great!

Jonathon M.

Easy to use and comfortable grip

Michael N.

Alex G.

Ditto on the left hand remote! That would come in handy... Also, I do not see on any of the manuals how to change the odometer from miles to KM. Figured you guys could just post it somewhere in case anyone else is having the same problem. Remote works great!!

Logan W.

Works great

Victor M.

It's a great board run smooth amazingly fast

tisbephelix

Feels great in my hand and doesn't feel unatural to hold for long periods of time but I am wondering if y'all are ever gonna make a left handed controller so when I hold it in my left hand I can still see the speed and everything

FAQ for the remote:

Q: How to pair the new remote to the board?

When the power button on the board is flashing quickly, press and hold the power button on the remote, after about 5 seconds, the remote will pair to the board.

Q: How to change the speed mode on the remote?

When you fully stop the board (you can not during the riding), press the 2nd button on the remote, the light on the remote will flash in slow/ quick mode on the remote, which indicates the speed mode of the board.

Q: How to tell the battery life on the remote?

With a short press of the power button on the remote, the light will light up to show you the battery life: Four lights means full battery, 3 lights means above 80% of battery, 2 lights means above 60% of the battery and 1 light means around 35% to 0% of the battery.

Q: Why my first two lights dropped quicker than the last two lights ?

The light is not very accurate in evenly showing the battery life. The first two lights are about 35% of the battery, the 3rd light is about 30%, the last light is showing about 35% of the battery after some study.

Q: How to tell the battery is low?

1. When the battery is below 25%, the remote light turn from green to red and stays on, vibrate once
2. When the battery is below 10%, the remote red light will start flashing , will vibrate twice
3. When the battery is below 5%, It will vibrate twice again.
Then the battery will be complete out , the remote will vibrate once and the board will shut down

Q: Which models can the remote pair to?

G2s from 2018
G2 2019
G2T
G2 black 2019 and G2 Black
Other brands with Hobbywing esc in the markets, but the speed modes and setting might be slightly different
It does NOT pair to the original G2 back in 2017

John J.

works great for my Wowgo board, but only has 2 speeds, doesn't have the high speed.

Alina T.

This was my first board I picked up in 2019 , recently have to replace the remote. I still like it.

Jérémy D.

Not appairing between m'y board n m'y remote...i don't know why for this time but normaly it's a good remote M'y last one powered very well..... I Hope thé tech support found me a solution. Dear

Elijah W.

Had this controler for 3+ years now no problem and rarely is low on battery. I had to replace the first after it dropped in a lake

Paul A.

This universal remote control did not work on OppsDecor youth electric longboard. Ive looked for youtube videos but no luck pairing. I also reached out via customer service mail to backfire and have yet to receive any support. The remote control looks exactly like the one we got from oppsdecor.

Josh V.

cant pair with my apsu board. is identical to the remote i originally got with my apsuboard but the internal configuration wont let it connect to my board. would probably like the remote if it connected

SHANNON A.

Tricky to set up to longboard as there is no instruction but overall good product

The micro USB port on my original backfire G2 black (2019) remote broke off, so it was time for a replacement. I'm glad Backfire sells a remote with a USB C port on it as well as a screen on it for telemetry readouts. I ordered this and am very glad I did. Though the remote has a USB C port, for some reason my package came with a micro USB cable. I'm guessing this was just a small, unusual oversight. Not a deal breaker, I have plenty of USBA to C cables at this point. I got the new remote with 50% battery or so. I turned on the remote to pairing mode and held the power button on the G2 Black. It didn't pair the first time, but when I tried a second time, the remote vibrated and said connected near instantly. It's been a great remote. Being able to adjust for wheel size is nice, too, because I've had the 105 mm cloudwheels on it. I didn't realize the board/ESC/remote had an odometer when I ordered it. That was a nice surprise. It was nice to know how many miles i had put on the board since I purchased it, and it also makes scheduled maintenance a lot easier. The odometer is probably a little off for me because I've had the 105 mm cloud wheels for 5-6 months, and there was no way for the ESC to know that using the old remote, but that's a very minor issue given that it works with my board. I ride my board in the rain often and haven't had any water related issues with the new remote. Other things to note: It does not charge if you use a USB C power source. The power source needs to have a USB type A port. A USB-A-to-USB-C adapter on a USB C-to-C cable works. A strange design flaw. I'd take off some points because that's just bogus, but the setup still beats a micro USB port. The remote also does not remember forward/reverse settings after powering off the remote. This is ultimately for the better, but something to watch out for if you swapped your motors. All in all, 4.75/5 stars remote.

Alex F.

Good

Beatrice N.

this remote works great, was a little weird to try and connect to my board but it worked in the end

Lucas S.

Remote connected seamlessly and easily to board first time after following instructions on how to put the board into pairing mode (hold power button for 5+ seconds until it starts blinking very rapidly). Feels nice in hand and button response and sensitivity are good. Have large hands so the wrist loop is a bit small for me, but not a big deal at all, it still works.

Elmahdi D.

I am having the same problem with my remote isn't charging anymore what to do should I buy one more is it going to be the same after 33 month's of use ?

Michael N.

My remote controller would not charge and it appeared that the only solution was to order a new one. After receiving the replacement, it was discovered that tit was simply the charging cord that was the problem and I did not need to order a new controller. Too bad there is not a better way to determine what the problem is, when you cannot charge a remote controller...

Joshua C.

Came in right in time for when I needed it thank you.

Ethan B.

Kevin G.

Easy set up, no problems

Alic S.

I love this remote! I had the older model without a screen and this is an epic upgrade!!!

Morgan M.

A charger did not come with the remote and now I do not know what kind of charger I need to charge the remote.

Thomas K.

Remote works perfect and connected to my board right away, I love the rubber texture it has. Stays in your hand and having a screen to tell you the battery helps in more ways in one. To sum it up. This replacement remote works great and my option better then the one that came with board 10/10 would recommend

Philip P.

It's a very nice remote..it feels nice in hand and the wheel has plenty of room to make your ride enjoyable. I have a Backfire G2 also and this Meepo remote has a bigger screen .

Bought this charger to replace the one for my x2 (the original quit working after a couple of years) the new one works great, it’s really the only backfire product that I’ve ever replaced, it was well used, and I’m happy to buy a new one

Keith B.

Luv this board. Wish I had got the zealot s. Customer service is 100%. This thing is awesome.

Logan W.

Glad I got it in quick and even more glad it works for my g3. 2nd year with that board and still runs perfectly fine. Good product make sure to let customers know NOT to accidentally hold the throttle and turn on the board it activates an e break and the board will dead stop if active while riding. Just letting you know.

Andrew S.

Great charger. Good quality and works great on my board. Heats up pretty well so be aware of that.

Gavin T.

Once you realize how long it takes to charge for however much battery your board has then it’s easier to calculate charging times between rides. Very sturdy though, I take it on most of my rides to increase distance when taking trips to multiple destinations.

Renaud M.

Fast shipping , charge perfectly !

Customer

I have two batteries so i can now charge up Twice as fast!

Nate H.

Worked as expected. Great tech support! Great costumer service! Fast shipping! Would definitely buy from Backfire again. Thanks

Linus E.

My old charger (left) died, wouldn't shine it's green light when plugged in to the wall, lit up green when plugged in to the board but didn't charge (turns red while charging). The new charger (right) works just as well as the old one, has a new look on the back with text and instructions more clearly visible. Don't know if they changed anything inside, same output. It's the US version and I live in Sweden, changing from the US plug to EU/Sweden was no problems, uses a pretty standard connection, same as my tv. Hopefully this one lasts longer than a year.

Johnpaul g.

Works great

Kevin S.

This is a great charger. It makes my board go super fast.
