I ordered my Backfire Zealot about 6 months back, & I’m 100% satisfied with my purchase.

Could not be happier with this board! From the customer service to the value for your money. This is hard to beat! Thank you backfire for making an incredible board!!

Super fast shipping and came perfect! Absolutely love this board, thank you!

I had a lesser brand dual hub motor board before I decided that I needed a new eboard after taking my friends Boosted Board for a spin. My old board had zero flex as well as harsh motor in hub design. I would recommend a Belt Driven board and a board that is flexible to anyone who wants to buy an eboard. Don’t make the mistake that I made! The Backfire Zealot S rides like a dream. The throttle and brakes are very progressive not jerky which is what I was used to. The Zealot S gave me immediate confidence the 1st time I took her for a spin. I highly recommend! The bang for the buck is HUGE!

Nice and fantastic Eboard i like how fast and stable it is

Backfire best customer service period!!!!

Very happy with this board! Just Received my board on 2/24/21 charged it and on one charge riding between S mode and Turbo mode I have gone 31 miles on the charge and still have 2 bars left on battery. I live in CA and there are a lot of big hills and pulls the hills amazing!! The 96mm wheels are amazing board is very smooth, flexible, responsive when turning and the pick up on throttle is very smooth along with braking. Speed is not an issue. This board is very fast if you want it to be. The shipping was fairly quick took a month due to some issues with customs sure this is very rare. Customer service responded very quickly and they are very friendly. I would definitely recommend this board to anyone that is in the market. 5 stars for this board and their staff.

Ordered the G2 due to communication mix up in the family and returned itndays before Christmas. I was told they would send out the Backfire Zealot after new years, only to get the Zealot the day before Christmas! It made for a fun day on Christmas!!! Thank You So Much! The Quality of the board [composite deck] is excellent for 190lbs 6ft. The acceleration and torque on the zealot is deserving of the name! Turbo gear for higher skilled/braver soul riders is my favorite feature! I,ve been able to mimic snowboarding on the asphalt hills in Salt lake City Utah. No pass neeeded! one month in and 200 miles no problems whatsoever with the board, worth every penny. It has a 6 month warranty so im feeling satisfied as can be with my purchase at Backfire.

If you like to bomb uphill this board will be the key. I have 3 sets of aftermarket wheels that work with this board. First eboard I bought and I'm hooked. Come join the fun and get one, you will thank us!

Great Board. Great Customer Service I did a lot of research since it was my first electric board and I am very happy with my choice. Power, Speed, Control options on Wheels. Looking forward to an amazing spring and Summer!!

This board is fast and smooth! A ton of power to get you up hills, or just accelerate super fast. The brakes are incredibly strong too. It's just so fun to ride! I've gone 23 mph so far and its rides very well, also carves like a dream. Makes me feel like a kid again. I've had four friends try the board and they loved it as well. One of them should be ordering a Zealot soon. I added iCloudwheels and the board is even more incredible. God I love this board. The customer service at Backfire is also very friendly and responsive. The remote is easy to use and very responsive. I highly recommend this board.

I've been narrowing my roommates boosted stealth and wanted a board just as powerful and fun. This board is amazing. The composite deck is as stiff as the stealth and the board is crazy fast. Honestly I love my zealot more then my friends stealth and it's a fraction of the price!!! Took 3 days to get to my house. Amazing service.

This board is absolutely amazing. Affordable, Fast, powerful, long range, comfortable riding. What more could you ask for? Once you try it you'll never look back. It's definitely a head turner.

at over 1k miles, running on one motor, seemingly stuck in reverse permanently, rode extremely hard, through south florida torrential tropical storms(7miles), submersed undoubtedly, and I've had the best time of my life.

I'm 49 years old and decided to get my first e-board. After much research the Backfire Zealot with the composite deck was the clear choice. I'm a 225lb powerlifter and the new composite deck is PERFECT for heavier riders. It has enough flex to support me plus help soak up any bumps in the road. The range is really good as well considering my weight. I got 17 miles on one ride and still had one bar left on the battery. It's also a lot easier to ride than I ever imagined. After 2 days I felt really confident on the board. Considering my age that's a good thing. I was hesitant on buying a board because I was worried that it might be hard for me to ride and I'd end up crashing. Now today, 10 days into me owning this board I have ridden 114 miles! I'm so incredibly happy that I bought the backfire Zealot and I haven't had this much fun in years. 10 out of 10!! Ride safe and don't forget the helmet and the other safety equipment

The Backfire Zealot is my third electric skateboard. I own a Skatebolt Tornado Pro and Boosted 's. Mini X. Backfire in my opinion has a great value for the price you are paying. Upon purchasing this board you will find that you can indeed achieve the 17-22 miles that is claimed and the top speed is so fast that it will take you time to reach the top speed if you ride in the streets like I do. The build quality is matched to that of the Boosted boards in my opinion and can out perform them in terms of speed and range! This is why I chose Backfire's Zealot and they did not disappoint. Lastly, this is their only belt driven board available right now which means you can customize the wheels. This is my favorite part of belt driven boards as opposed to hub motors within the wheel. If you are not sure which board from Backfire to get, I would say this is a very competitive choice. :)

I'm a beginner (girl) and did a lot of research on all of the available options. I chose this one because it was a reputable company, the range, speed, relative light weight, met all of my objectives. The integrated under board lighting and the eco/beginner mode are really what sold me. I love the fact that I can accelerate up and brake gradually while I learn and it also has all of the power I want when I get better. I love the lights, they are great. It's a comfie board, with a slight bounce and I'm going to loosen up the trucks to give it more play. The shipping time was 16 days from order to delivery, which was great based on other reviews for other boards that had one month delivery waits from China. Buy this board!

To give this review some context: I've been skateboarding for a decade before discovering electric boards last summer (2019). I'm a very experienced rider and having four wheels underfoot is second nature to me. I live in NYC and a majority of the miles clocked on my Zealot have been in Manhattan/Brooklyn. At the time of this writing I have (recorded) ~2000 miles (3,218.9 km) on esk8, with thousands more underfoot on other types of skateboards. I weigh 170 lbs (77 kg) and the ranges I've indicated should bear that in mind. My previous esk8 experiences include owning a Backfire G2 (G2S ESC upgrade, 83/96mm wheels), Onewheel+ XR, Meepo Mini V2 ER. These are my honest thoughts, I was not paid to write this. I bought the Zealot when it was first announced, paid extra for the faster shipping - I was so excited to finally get my hands on a belt-driven board from Backfire! I previously rode a Backfire G2 (2017) and put it through its paces, and it never let me down as my daily commuter and my main mode of transportation. At the time of this writing, I've clocked 900+ miles (1,448+ km) on my Zealot and it has been the most fun I can ever remember having in my skateboarding career. I'm an active member of the NYC Eboarding scene, and am friends with riders of Exway's, Boosted's, Evolve's, Metroboard's, etc., I've rode them all. The Backfire Zealot is THE BEST BOARD YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER $1000 in my experience. It handles better and is more comfortable than any Meepo or Exway, it has MORE RANGE AND POWER THAN THE EXWAY FLEX, and can't even be compared to a Boosted Board - It's far better. When I go out cruising slow just to see the city and explore with my friends I can get 20 miles easily and still have 20% battery to spare (my Exway friends are all having to stop and charge way before me). When I'm in a hurry and need to get somewhere quickly (20+ mph/32+ kph) I know that I don't need to bring my charger if the round trip is 15 miles (24 km) or less. You can't put a price on not having range anxiety, not to mention being able to go out and ride without a backpack carrying your charger is so much better. I have the bamboo deck, and I love how flexible it is. It's extremely comfortable and really helps with foot fatigue on those long rides. I haven't tried cloud wheels on it, I've always been a urethane rider and always will be, but with the stock 96mm wheels you can actually go off-road. I've literally rode on gravel and dirt bike trails with this thing; if you're a good enough rider I promise you this board can handle anything you throw at it. So far it's handled everything I've rode over on the streets of New York. They are soft enough that you can feel the grip while carving, and also hard enough that you can speed check and slide the board as well. THIS IS THE BOARD YOU WANT. Forget Exway, forget Meepo, forget other competitors at a similar price point. This is the one. Whether you are looking to buy your first esk8, or add to your collection, this is a fantastic board and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Looking forward to seeing you out there in the streets, -R

I am a 46 year old who has had many board related hobbies. From 16 until early 20 I rode Skateboards, 20 until 35 Snowboarding and Wakeboarding. Then just like that I stopped. Well recently I started craving another board related hobbie. Using a search engine I started typing Longboard and up pops Electric longboard. After realizing how far they had advanced I was ready. Board selection is huge so I rolled the dice on the Zealot. Long story short. Absolutely amazing carving the summer streets. I did forget one thing. My legs are sore as !@$#! Backfire Zealot highly recommended!!

This board is awesome. I'm consistently getting 17 miles range with lots of hills. 24mph is easy to achieve. I'd recommend this board

A complete adrenaline rush with the board reaching a speed of 28mph! Worth every penny I spent on this board...
