Backfire G2 Black Electric Skateboard

Fast shipping

Ive rode this baby (g2) at least twice a day since i got it now. Havent been on a board for at least 20 years. Im 35. But this is such a smooth ride and very easy to get used to. Battery and distance is accurate. I do want a battery that lasts at least twice as long now though, so looking for options. Other than that, if youre debating on this board, just do it. Youll love it!!

I purchased the G2 Black as my first electric skateboard. The feel and finish on this thing is great, and everything is working great. The motors are totally silent, it is not too heavy, and it is plenty fast and can climb pretty steep hills. 20 mph feels really fast on a skateboard! I definitely loosened the trucks a bit. I am completely satisfied with it!!

Love the board and my daughter also so we will be buying one mor board to have fun together

First 5 miles have been awesome so far, can't wait to put it to use this summer

Awesome product the last time I rode I was 16 now 51 and still rolling

Great quick service and love what I've gotten out of it so far just in the first few test runs!

great board works great so far.

Quality delivery, and quick. Came well packaged and arrived without any defects. I have ridden it now for 30KM (nice that it keeps track) and it is a lot of fun. I accelerate and then coast a lot and where it really shines is going down large hills and controlling the speed with the brakes (while recharging it!) esp. in more crowded areas gives a sense of control that is nice. I have definitely hit 25MPH on flats and it's faster than it seems. Great product, lots of fun, hoping it holds up over the longer term.

1 word. Awesome !! Aloha

Great board, excellent customer service and fast shipping to Canada. Really enjoy the G2 as a first time e-skateboard rider. It's well balanced, doesn't overwhelm and it's got the kick if you need it. Really like the shape of the board too.

Best purchase ever!

Excellent product! Thoroughly impressed with the build quality and use of the Backfire G2 and how much fun it is. Great battery life and thrilling speed for any beginner. If you’re on the fence about this, just do it! You will not regret it!

Everything is excellent honestly. Battery life last as long as it says, the remote doesn’t die fast either. I highly recommend getting safety gear before buying one of these. For being a beginner board it goes a little too fast and the brakes are too sensitive to the point where you can’t go too fast and hit the brake or the board will go out of control. I’ve busted my head open and had to go to the hospital. I give it 5 stars because it does everything it says it would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING SAFETY GEAR IF YOURE GONNA GET ONE OF THESE. you could literally lose your life on one of these and I would hate to have anybody go through something like that. STAY SAFE!!

Love it! The board is stiff and the bushings are stiff. It’s great for the price and if you want upgraded board and trucks go for the G3.

Bought the G2 Black for my son's birthday, had it direct shipped to him. Shipping was very fast and ended up a day earlier than anticipated!! He Absolutely loves the idea of not having to kick to get where he is going. Says its wicked fast and pulls just as hard on an incline. He has been SK8n for years and says it's a quality board all around. I like it for the affordable price. Was a good purchase!!

I’m 56yrs old and my son brought me the G2 for Christmas this year . I took it out for a ride for the first time the other day . It was Awesome super fast and very comfortable to ride . Can’t wait for the Ny weather to get warmer so I can ride every day.

This board is great! This is my 3rd eboard and i love it! It is very comfortable to ride and plenty fast for me! I am 5'10" and 215lbs and can get 22 mph top speed and got 13.5 miles out of it. I plan to get a belt driven board in the future and give this to my son!

I will start by saying I am 6’3” and 240lbs. This thing rocks! It’s fast, smooth, and well built. Definitely glad I dropped the cash on it.

I've Had my G2 Black for exactly 15 days now and if I had to describe my experience I have to say my quality of life has significantly improved in that period. Since the moment I removed it from the box I have not been able to stop bombing the streets of Henderson, Nevada..I had no experience skateboarding before this except for when I tried my friends Backfire Mini and I became hooked I researched heavily about E boards and the reason I chose backfire was because the G2 Black was getting favorable reviews and it looks like Backfires customer service is the best which my friend who owns the mini has confirmed with me...I love this freaking board I can't wait to buy the the G3 and the Ranger X3....Thanks for making this awesome Budget Beginners board its exactly what I needed

The board is extremely smooth and reliable! I take rides on it everyday and have nothing but good things to say about it!

Fun and fast!

Absolutely fell in love with esk8 and backfire boards. Board has not let me down. Purchased a backfire helmet and shirt as well. Backfire for life

Bought this G2 Black & Over 100 miles on my board in just a week! Goes 23.5mph & 11+ Miles on a full charge as advertised. Been riding it everywhere i go & i love it! Perfect for Beginners but i just purchased my Zephyr S and cant wait to try it out!

Its great. Always grinning like a devil when it climbs hills here

Love it. Even rode it in wet conditions. Help up perfect. This is my new commuter. I just wish the battery range was longer. Will be buying another battery

Highly recommend, I needed something to get me to school or anywhere in that matter as I use to Uber a lot and it was getting quite pricy. I’ve done tons of research on what’s the best beginner e board and while researching I saw someone on YouTube recommended this so I bought it and I’m really glad I did, it’s the best bang for your buck it’s relatively cheap fast fun and really enjoyable to cruise around the city, Get it you wont be disappointed. TRUST ME

Amazing!!! I had purchased it as a gift for my husband and he loves it!!! It is really fast, you can control the speed with the throttle which is awesome. I also like how it goes back and forward with a push of a button. It can cruise on the grass which is a plus. Best affordable board!!!!

If I could give this board 10 stars, I absolutely would! The distance you can travel on one charge is impressive. The responsiveness is impressive. For being an entry-level board at just $400, the Backfire G2 Black is honestly a steal! The Backfire brand is now my go-to! HIGHLY recommend!

This g2 is my first e-board and my first time skating in a long time. The board is super easy to use and is plenty fast with a great range. I weigh 195 lbs and it has no problem taking me around at 20+ mph. I easily get 10-12 miles of range and I really can’t say enough good things about it. It shipped in a couple of days and was honestly better than I thought it would be. My wife loves and stole it from me so I bought myself a zealot s. I am still waiting for that to ship but I will leave a review when I get it, I expect it also to be amazing like the g2 is.

Been riding electrics for awhile now and this board just knocked out the competition. Easy for beginners to intermediates. Smooth ride with good speed.

Great board so far!

My first time on a board in many years and I fell in love on the first ride. I am hooked!!! This is everything I hoped for and then some!

Great board but the remote came cracked which is kinda a bummer.

“Skip to bottom for summary” So I notice that there isn’t many reviews on these boards that actually tell you how the board is, now I’ve never owned an e-board but I did some very extensive research on the world of electric skateboarding and yeah it’s bigger than I thought I was working with a budget also and let me tell you picking the right board that goes with how you ride is kinda a hefty task at least for me it was, so I came across the blackfire G2 (2020 edition) not 2019 let me tell you I’m pretty blown away you can get something like this at its $429 price tag especially when I see so many boards hyped up and cost hundreds and thousands not gonna lie I was a little worried even thinkin if I just wasted my money but nope worth every penny pretty damn happy with it, so pros for me biggggg tires they help go over most things you’re gonna encounter but know the boards limits it won’t go over a curb let’s be realistic, now I’ve heard hobbywing ESC’s are one of the best around for smooth braking and acceleration but it’s still got some get up like it goes, now I’ve gotten 24 mph with 96mm wheels and you might be surprised how fast that actually feels when your out in the open on a piece of wood with wheels eco mode is perfect for those nice chill rides and motors go up most hills I’ve found pretty good which where maybe around 30 degrees of a slope and I’m pretty sure it could definitely go steeper but I’m not sure I live in a city area very flat for the most part, Range now I’m a small person I weigh about 130 and range is around 10 but I also but 85 mm wheels and an extended range battery so that I could go further my review Is also kinda biased since I have only had the board for one day but first impressions last forever the 2020 edition is also SEALEDDDDD ITS GOT RUBBER GASKETS AROUND THE BATTERY AND ESC which is pretty nice they added a another layer of water protection now the board does have a slight flex but for the most part it’s kinda on the stiff side which person I don’t have a preference for flex vs stiff so I’m okay with it trucks are solidddd they’re very nice and have great potential but I think the bushings are to hard so if you like to carve and chill then might wanna get softer bushings, now the updated 2020 version you get an lcd remote so wooooh got a screen has a trip meter, odometer, speedometer, board battery, remote battery, and gear hud so it got everything pretty much there is two buttons on remote power and gear button I like it because I found my myself in the dark and I was easily able to identify the correct buttons controller also vibrates when you switch gears or the battery on remote or board is low which is nice, so cons so far tbh just the bushings yep but only had it one day I plan on doing another review in the future so I can do a proper test on it I’m thinking maybe 100 miles or less idk I’ll figure it out but long story short this a very good board and it won’t disappoint, if you want a cheap board that’s good this is a worthy choice

TLDR: Great e-skate if your city has smooth and clean roads, but my city does not. I'd like to see bigger wheels, wider deck, and a more ramped deck lip. I don't feel as stable on it, compared to the deck of the Ranger X2. This is possibly because the area for the rear foot is more narrow than the front foot by about 0.5". You can't tell this from the photos on the website. Power is enough for hill climbing with groceries. The shorter length and lighter weight makes it easy to carry. Please make a mini all-terrain e-skate at this price point and power specs. Thanks :D

I weigh 230 lbs and it has no problem carrying me up hills. I use it to get to work every day and have for the past year (excluding some COVID periods) and it has never let me down. Sometimes it takes a second to turn on or off, but for me it's a non-issue. Hands down the best price and best quality on the market. I love the G2.

After doing extensive research into board in similar price ranges I decided on the G2 black. I am 6' and 190lbs and the board has no issue accelerating. I took at 3.5 mile ride yesterday and the board handled some pretty bad bumps and gaps with ease. Would highly recommend it!

So I received my G2 Black about 2 weeks ago and I am beyond thrilled with this board. I weigh 240 lbs and was concerned about getting an e board that would handle me. I did a lot of research on e boards and the G2 is everything it is advertised to be. It is very responsive with smooth acceleration and braking. It has just the right amount of flex and carves very well. It is also very quiet and the 96mm wheels are amazing. I ran it on the Eco setting for my first ride and then Sports mode. I leave it in Sports mode now as the speed is easy to control with the throttle wheel. I probably ride at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle most of the time but occasionally bump it up to full speed which definitely makes you focus on what you're doing. This is my first e board and I absolutely love it. I am riding it daily and my neighbors are all very jealous! Great job Backfire!!

This is a 5 star board. There is absolutely no complain. I ride it daily unless it's snowing.

I got my g2 as a early present in November a couple of days before The Holidays . To really start it off this the best brand I ever witness . My Board is a dream come true and I so Thankful for Backfire when I discovered this magic

I recently received the G3 for my birthday. Ever since the first ride, I've fallen in love with this thing. The acceleration and braking are both smooth and responsive. I was worried about the G3 being difficult to ride, however, from the very first ride that worry has been curbed. If you are in the market for a board or looking for a change of speed - I would encourage you to look at Backfire, not only are their products a lot of fun, they are well made, and my experience with customer service has been exceptional.

Bought this for my son after doing a lot of research and riding some very expensive boards. This rides almost as well as the $1k boards at an amazing price and the range is perfect for a high school kid who is looking to use it for shorter commutes under 3-4 miles one way. Super happy with the board.

I recently bought the G2 black and it was very fun but I started having issue with the battery! I was told to send it to the tech support, which I did and after waiting for a while I received my old battery. I was told that I will be getting a replacement battery. I wasted more than a week just to receive my same old battery. This was a terrible experience! The board is very fun to ride but the customer service... not that great!

It is my first skateboard in my life after to watch so meny reviews one YouTube I decide to get the G2 for the price and benefits, and I am 100% satisfied with the product. Actually my girlfriend is thinking to get mine and I will get a G3 for me :). Also de delivery here to Ireland form Germany was in less than a week. Sebastian Campos @seba_cb

Bought this board 2 days ago and i can't wait to use it, this would be my 1st back fire board so basically my test run before i buy the G3 plus for faster and longer range. I have the meepo's the verreal boards and a wowgo but with my research and what friends tell me backfire's truly one of the best because of satisfied customer base and having two i repeat 2 usa based offices in California and the east coast. Remarkable company and Remarkable price to performance equipment, i do believe i found my favorite board makers now.

You can't realistically be disappointed for 400 and some change. Plenty fast enough to hurt yourself. Two speed settings and low is perfectly fine for carving in parking lots. 10 -12 miles on a charge and a very predictable and stable remote. A USA warehouse and parts supply is the icing. This company's been around over 10 years.

I just got this board yesterday and I love it, it's really fast for the price, today I rode it and it lasted about 16 miles on a single charge, the big wheels are a really good addition. Of your looking for a budget board this is the one.

I love this thing it is so fast for the price and by far the best 400 board on the market this is a must by for city life it is so efficient BUY THIS 5 stars all day!!!!!

It has a full rear axle, waterproof enclosures, is plenty fast for most ppl (24mph) . It is very sleek and seems well made. No screws were loose, everything functions as it should. The best word i could use to describe it is €œsolid€. The 96mm wheels are fantastic too. In its price range it has no competitors that even come close in value.

the g2 black board is a really fun board. To only go 24 mph its pretty fast for the price. Love the board ,just covid made shipping a little longer.

First time ridding a electric long board. Following the recommendations of a lot of sites. Good buy for the first board but know I want more. If I have the chance I would have buy the G3 plus. I even ride it with my 5 years son at 23mph with both of us. Super nice experience.

Just have to say, love it i grew up surfing and my wife skateboarding. I am still new in long boarding can't quiet get the stance change down so I still kick Mongo. Regardless the board is amazing very well built great quality I use it sparingly but mostly stick to my onewheel my wife complete opposite, but 10/10 backfire bravo thank you so much for making our riding experiences so much more enjoyable. P.S. prior to the backfire my wife used a boosted board an I agree with her the backfire just feels better to ride.

Beside the time it took to ship us to COVID, this is a really fun board

I'll say it one more time. Get the board. You can thank me later.

Love my Backfire g2 :) feels like flying

I'm still on economic mode because I just got the board yesterday and 13mph feels fast. No cons yet besides that it took 6 weeks from order to delivery.

My friend has one and I really want it because they go so fast and are super smooth and durable

Long range, ok weight, lot of power, wheels 97mm, black color - exact what I need. No cons so far.

The value for your dollar is there! I would only suggest changing the front bearings to reds bearings and grabbing some orangatang bushings and it really transforms the ride into a true long boarding experience!

I have been debating and doing a lot of research on what board to get. And finally came accross Backfire. Firstly the design caught my attention, but as we all know we want the performance. The problem I have was there were not a lot of reviews in youtube for the Backfire G2Black. I kinda hesitated, but once I got a hold of the company and talked to them, there customer service was superb. Then I decided, this the Company I want to do business with. Heard so many bad things from other Electric Skateboard companies about Bad After-sales, But Not Backfire. They took care of customers before and after buying their product. The Board - can't say enough good things about this board, though it has some downsides since it is their Beginner Board, the battery life does not last that long since its just 5ah. But other than that, I enjoyed everything about it. I really thought it wont be that fast but I was wrong. Speed is enough to keep your adrenaline pumping. To add, the 96mm wheela are just massive, it is very comfortable in uneven pavements and roads.

Sometimes I wonder about the reviews on sites, thinking they might be fake, but these five star reviews don't lie. This board is beyond amazing. I had my doubts when I read words like "beginner" but there's nothing beginner about this board. I haven't been on a board in about 10 years so it's taking me awhile to get used to riding again, but damn this things got power. I tore through dirt, tons of gravel, a bit of water, and I even rode it up a fairly steep hill. Going down was a breeze with the brake too. Loved it. Only my first day with it so far, but I hope it lasts for awhile. Too much fun

It's great for commuting and getting away from all the noise.

Bought one online and I am almost in my 50's great smooth board once you learn the sweet spots for breaking and taking off. It's freak n scary fast in the sport mode deff want to wear some protective gear. But great fun for a lazy cruise along the beach or neighborhood.

Quality AND Trust! Fantastic and affordable E-Boards with Quality Components & 110% Customer Service to back it up. Nothing cheap here with their E-Boards, and you can rest assure that you are spending your hard earned money on Quality. Backfire has your back if there are any questions and/or issues. Buy with Confidence with No Regrets!

I've had the older g2 for around a year and ride it just about daily over 10 miles even at times when it rains ( I'm in Louisiana). The only knock is that the first hub wheels that came on the board wore and chucked within two weeks rough terrain but still quick , it took a lot but they sent me replacements. The replacements are still good and usable after more the 6 mo on bad roads. The board overall is durable and the customer service is better than most.

I got this board from my wife for Christmas. Man do I owe her something great! I live outside Houston and when it's not raining it's perfect to cruise. I added some lights to mine and I cruise at night alot. Gets tons of attention. I've cruised almost nonstop 4 hrs and still ready to go in morning. Certainly exceeded all expectations of what I thought was possible. I don't weigh much but it can take me though gravel and grass with ease. Spits pebbles out like a boss.

Lemme start this with saying this is actually my 2nd G2, because the 1st board's deck snapped. And Backfire customer support took care of it quickly. Effectively. And graciously. at first they just wanted to send a new deck and have me reassemble everything. All I had to do was ask for a whole new board if I sent the old one in, they agreed with no issue and even threw in free galaxy grip tape! So in my mind that's A to A+ kind of service, yeah? Range is competitive... for $500 and below. Power is REALLY nice... but inconsistent more than most due to battery charge. Weather and the like. But when it does give you full speed Go, it's a thrill. Speed control is Super S tier. Smooth get up and deceleration, good braking (though I could alwaus have them stronger) I think this is where the board REALLY shines. Definitely the easiest beginner board under $600. Only thing keeping hobbywing from being best ESC is the absence of an app. But hands down some of the smoothest "driving". Deck is... well like I said my first one snapped... admittedly it took a hard nose hit and that really is what did it in... BUT I really enjoy the ride of the deck and my 2nd board has had NO ISSUES!!! 96mm Wheels are pretty darn nice, not gonna lie. Could be smoother if you rode a belt with real cruiser wheels. But these HUB motors are pretty nice power wise, and thoughtfully built for longevity like water and dust protection, and ease of maintenance like wiring and sleeves. All in all: Bang for the buck: 10/10 Board as compare to best ever felt: 5/10 Board compared to price competition: 7/10 - range keeps it from being an 8. Service and support: 10/10... maybe even extra credit 11/10... After buying this and having faith in the company and the support, probably gonna buy the Ranger x2 for me and a G3 for the lady next holiday;)

Is the board water resistant

Board is flawless super stable i weigh 165 pounds and I have seen 26mph and have gone 8 plus miles with still more juice and only a loss of about 4 mph once you get to 30 percent battery and the WHEELS are simply amazing every crack bump sewer grate twig and potholes not a problem just eats them for breakfast and did i mention you get more attention than a Lamborghini lmao best money ive ever spent thanks backfire for making my commute awsome again

This board has a lot of torque. The power never fails and you always need to be ready to go full throttle or it will throw you off! But all is good, I love this board. Hands down Backfire doesn't hold back on quality and has the best looking boards out there.

I think Backfire Boards are really well made and even thought it was my first time riding it, i could still get around with ease. But i had a problem. In the little box in the middle, it was missing the users booklet, which didn't bother me that much. But again they are really great boards. I really enjoy riding it. And i'm already thinking of being the G3 which looks sick. Thanks Backfire

I've had two spades and this one is favorite one it's so fun just to ride

I have been riding this horse for about a month now going to work and back and it has saved my life. Always protect yourself with good padded gear the right lights and drive in your lane. Make sure to use your break slowly. Keep your trucks tight and you can go everywhere on the best budget in the USA. Thank you backfire

This thing is sick. Just order it already. Nothing you will regret. So practical to commute on

It has a amazing quality of board and technology for only 399. I Highly recommend this!

Well Ive owned my G2 Black for a few weeks and I have nothing bad to say about it. As far as range goues you wont be disappointed. I average 12 miles like the say on thier page. I've actually eeked 16 miles out of it on eco mode while riding on a flat somewhat smooth bike trail. On the other hand while riding through traffic in Portland using sport going top speed the whole time and a couple of large hills I only gor 8 miles. As far as hill climbing goes there isn't a hill or bridge in Portland the can stop me it climbs very well. I do only wheigh 150 to 160 pounds depending on the gear I have on. Also the highest top speed i could get on flat smooth road was 22.5 mph. I did order a 6ah battery and the g2t esc kit though so im assuming that it will go a lot faster. Also make sure you oil your bearings befor you ride it because mine came dry from the factory. Carving with the stock front truck isn't that great but the board is very stabe at 22mph. The rear truck is actually nice and carvy though. I replaced the front with a Atlas truck and cone bushings and the board carves like a knife now. I give it 2 thumbs up.

It's amazing fun the price defiantly a must have.

Best bang for your buck with this board. Feels like a 600 dollar board for 400. Completely satisfied with my purchase.

Backfire has one of the best customer service teams that I have worked with. I had tons of questions in which all were answered in less than 15 minutes! Knowing that there is a great company behind the board is reassuring. The boards are absolutely awesome and are well built. Definitely has the best budget boards in the market and would highly recommend buying from them. The packaging and the board arrived flawless and the simple packaging was helpful. I do wish that the cheaper boards had come with the nicer remote. The remote for the G2 black has no screen to see any information and board errors if need be. The wheels are actually very nice and should easily last up to 6 months from daily use. I learned that all of the backfire boards have regenerative breaking which is a super cool feature. I'd highly recommend the G2 Black and can't wait to see what backfire boards have coming in the future!

Good adult toys

Ordered it on Monday, got it on Wednesday. Already put 35 miles on it. Loving it

Amazing company with great customer service! I am glad I chose Backfire Skateboards!

perfect.

What is the weight limit?

The only company that answered my call great customer service. Hands down. I just ordered my board. Thanks guys u rock. Will be posting videos from Hawaii. Aloha and mahalos. Jay. @imortalines on instagram

I'm not an expert driver but I have "studied" esk8 a lot before buying this board. Comparing its specs and its price this looked like a great option so I pulled the trigger. I received it from China in 2 weeks (great!). The board arrived in perfect conditions and it really looks gorgeous. Very clean and well finished, like a premium product. I had not ridden a skate since I was 13 (many many years ago) and it took me 2 minutes to be able to ride at low speed with pleasure. Its is really a beginner board in the meaning that it is easy to ride, but it looks also like a great e-skateboard, not at all like a toy. By now I'm really impressed and I fell like recommending it without any reserve

I have had my Backfire G2 Black for about a week now, it came in only 5 days! I use it for fun and for small commuting trips to the store or to run errands close to my home. I am a heavier rider, and this thing goes up hills with no problem at all!!! This is my 1st E-board and I was really skeptical about buying one. It took about 7 months of research before I came to a decision. The range and the speed seem to all be very accurate. I reached a top speed of 21mph on flat ground , and I seem to get an average range of about 10 miles. I mostly ride in pro mode, and I am over the rider weight limit so I feel that these stats are great!!! The one and only con of the board is it's stiffness, you feel every bump or crack in the road, which makes your legs sore after about half battery life. I love this board!!!, and I can't wait to find another one with a more flexible deck, but after such a great 1st experience with Backfire I do not wish to buy from any other company. THE G3 WILL BE MINE SOON. Thank you so much Backfire for making such a great, beautiful, strong and powerful product!!

I ordered on a Monday and had it by Friday. Thanks BF! Very smooth, solid build quality. I like it a lot. Plenty of power and speed for cruising and carving. I got mine on the 10th anniversary sale so I fell good about it. I think it will hold up well because the build quality seems excellent.

I bought mine on sale I was saving for the g2 2019 but perfect timing backfire truly the best me and my friends been crushing the streets like a boss highly recommended

I bought My first electric skateboard, simply amazing. Highly recommended

I love this board it holds up to everything I throw at. I live in nyc so the roads and and side walks aren't the best but this board eats it up like no other. I did put the 93mm wheels on and I picked up about 3-4 mph more but I lost the brutal acceleration that this board has.(I Weigh 140 on a good day. Fast ever recorded 25.7mph$ Ps thanks for making a great board backfire

It help so much on crack , rocks and poor road . You gain top speed and you feel stronger and safer with these wheels . My g2s came with 80mm only. 80mm was ok but didn't last that much. Then i've order the 96mm couple weeks after and it's change everything !:) even more autonomy batterie with these

On my previous review i stated that the max speed was 19+ . I want to give a honest review and have to say that in general i do get 20+. Still not as advertised. But i also keep using this board because it carves better than the ownboard and is lighter. So for fun riding (carving and sharp turning) i also like this board in its own right. Still wish it would have a better speed, torque and range and expected more from the new 350 watt motors . But this is were the ownboard w2 comes . i do however agree that this is a good beginner board and a lighter person will get better speed and range. So for the price it is a nice board.

I love the deck of this board, its bouncy yet stiff at the same time. So while I'm riding at top speeds, I feel completely stable. Also this board has an amazing top speed, especially with the big wheels. But the acceleration, with both small and big wheels takes me like 10 seconds to get to top speed. My weight is 155 lbs, so this is ridiculously sluggish. Also going up hill, this board cant climb the hills it claims to save its life. The range is extremely exaggerated and I'm getting about 6-7 miles max. The battery sag, oh my lord. When you drop below 50% it feels like you're riding slower than the slow mode on this board.

tThe board has the looks but i found the top speed a real letdown. 78KG and topspeed of 19+mph. I also own the ownboard w2 and this backfire is a stiffer ride. i do like the bushings so it carves easy. But man my ownboard belt drive does 27mph and has far better torque. 19 is very slow and does not meet the specs of 23.5mph. I did manage a range of over 10 miles with a average speed of 16.4mph. after that the speed dropped to 17-18mph but got a total of 11.4 miles but speed dropped at the end 8mph. So range is as advertised. I have the feeling that the esc holds the topspeed down. torque get less after about 8 miles so you get the topspeed but i does take longer to get there

I'll post more when we get better weather but it's scary quick until I tightened down the trucks for top speed road use. It was a fast learning curve too. Learn on the eco setting then graduate to the full speed mode. The ride is big 80's Cadillac smooth. You'll still prefer better roads but the worst pavement no longer needs avoided with these big wheels. Jason and Jerry have been fantastic with my questions and customer service for me truly means a lot. I ride my longboard to walk (be pulled by) my dog. I'm in chemo therapy this summer to beat cancer so this board allows me to do what I love despite the Charleston SC heat. This is well worth the price of admission! Go for it! You will not regret it. Shipping was faster than advertised!

Love the board, although i notice the cracks in the board mentioned in other revidera. Other than that it has great top speed and breaks, nice feel and decent battery life.

Pros: -High quality deck -Smooth ride, goes over rocks and cracks with ease -Very fast. It can get scary trying to get max speed -I live in a hilly area and it's climbing them pretty easily (I weigh 175-180lb) -Amazing value for the board/performance -No vibration issues Cons: -Range is okay (but you can upgrade it by buying a bigger battery) -Small flex on the deck. Depending on how long you plan on riding the board for, you might experience some feet pain. -Grip tape ripped my sweater lol

I haven't even bought the board yet but after seeing every unboxing video on YouTube the is, plus comparing to other similar models, hearing reviews from those who have bought it and ridden it for a while (like Daniel Kwan)(I tried to get his used one!) I know deep in my soul, 100% that this is the board I was born to ride. Got another job to help me pay for it! I'll be seeing you in bout 3 weeks backfire!

Fast shipping

Ive rode this baby (g2) at least twice a day since i got it now. Havent been on a board for at least 20 years. Im 35. But this is such a smooth ride and very easy to get used to. Battery and distance is accurate. I do want a battery that lasts at least twice as long now though, so looking for options. Other than that, if youre debating on this board, just do it. Youll love it!!

I purchased the G2 Black as my first electric skateboard. The feel and finish on this thing is great, and everything is working great. The motors are totally silent, it is not too heavy, and it is plenty fast and can climb pretty steep hills. 20 mph feels really fast on a skateboard! I definitely loosened the trucks a bit. I am completely satisfied with it!!

Love the board and my daughter also so we will be buying one mor board to have fun together

First 5 miles have been awesome so far, can't wait to put it to use this summer

Awesome product the last time I rode I was 16 now 51 and still rolling

Great quick service and love what I've gotten out of it so far just in the first few test runs!

great board works great so far.

Quality delivery, and quick. Came well packaged and arrived without any defects. I have ridden it now for 30KM (nice that it keeps track) and it is a lot of fun. I accelerate and then coast a lot and where it really shines is going down large hills and controlling the speed with the brakes (while recharging it!) esp. in more crowded areas gives a sense of control that is nice. I have definitely hit 25MPH on flats and it's faster than it seems. Great product, lots of fun, hoping it holds up over the longer term.

1 word. Awesome !! Aloha

Great board, excellent customer service and fast shipping to Canada. Really enjoy the G2 as a first time e-skateboard rider. It's well balanced, doesn't overwhelm and it's got the kick if you need it. Really like the shape of the board too.

Best purchase ever!

Excellent product! Thoroughly impressed with the build quality and use of the Backfire G2 and how much fun it is. Great battery life and thrilling speed for any beginner. If you’re on the fence about this, just do it! You will not regret it!

Everything is excellent honestly. Battery life last as long as it says, the remote doesn’t die fast either. I highly recommend getting safety gear before buying one of these. For being a beginner board it goes a little too fast and the brakes are too sensitive to the point where you can’t go too fast and hit the brake or the board will go out of control. I’ve busted my head open and had to go to the hospital. I give it 5 stars because it does everything it says it would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING SAFETY GEAR IF YOURE GONNA GET ONE OF THESE. you could literally lose your life on one of these and I would hate to have anybody go through something like that. STAY SAFE!!

Love it! The board is stiff and the bushings are stiff. It’s great for the price and if you want upgraded board and trucks go for the G3.

Bought the G2 Black for my son's birthday, had it direct shipped to him. Shipping was very fast and ended up a day earlier than anticipated!! He Absolutely loves the idea of not having to kick to get where he is going. Says its wicked fast and pulls just as hard on an incline. He has been SK8n for years and says it's a quality board all around. I like it for the affordable price. Was a good purchase!!

I’m 56yrs old and my son brought me the G2 for Christmas this year . I took it out for a ride for the first time the other day . It was Awesome super fast and very comfortable to ride . Can’t wait for the Ny weather to get warmer so I can ride every day.

This board is great! This is my 3rd eboard and i love it! It is very comfortable to ride and plenty fast for me! I am 5'10" and 215lbs and can get 22 mph top speed and got 13.5 miles out of it. I plan to get a belt driven board in the future and give this to my son!

I will start by saying I am 6’3” and 240lbs. This thing rocks! It’s fast, smooth, and well built. Definitely glad I dropped the cash on it.

I've Had my G2 Black for exactly 15 days now and if I had to describe my experience I have to say my quality of life has significantly improved in that period. Since the moment I removed it from the box I have not been able to stop bombing the streets of Henderson, Nevada..I had no experience skateboarding before this except for when I tried my friends Backfire Mini and I became hooked I researched heavily about E boards and the reason I chose backfire was because the G2 Black was getting favorable reviews and it looks like Backfires customer service is the best which my friend who owns the mini has confirmed with me...I love this freaking board I can't wait to buy the the G3 and the Ranger X3....Thanks for making this awesome Budget Beginners board its exactly what I needed

The board is extremely smooth and reliable! I take rides on it everyday and have nothing but good things to say about it!

Fun and fast!

Absolutely fell in love with esk8 and backfire boards. Board has not let me down. Purchased a backfire helmet and shirt as well. Backfire for life

Bought this G2 Black & Over 100 miles on my board in just a week! Goes 23.5mph & 11+ Miles on a full charge as advertised. Been riding it everywhere i go & i love it! Perfect for Beginners but i just purchased my Zephyr S and cant wait to try it out!

Its great. Always grinning like a devil when it climbs hills here

Love it. Even rode it in wet conditions. Help up perfect. This is my new commuter. I just wish the battery range was longer. Will be buying another battery

Highly recommend, I needed something to get me to school or anywhere in that matter as I use to Uber a lot and it was getting quite pricy. I’ve done tons of research on what’s the best beginner e board and while researching I saw someone on YouTube recommended this so I bought it and I’m really glad I did, it’s the best bang for your buck it’s relatively cheap fast fun and really enjoyable to cruise around the city, Get it you wont be disappointed. TRUST ME

Amazing!!! I had purchased it as a gift for my husband and he loves it!!! It is really fast, you can control the speed with the throttle which is awesome. I also like how it goes back and forward with a push of a button. It can cruise on the grass which is a plus. Best affordable board!!!!

If I could give this board 10 stars, I absolutely would! The distance you can travel on one charge is impressive. The responsiveness is impressive. For being an entry-level board at just $400, the Backfire G2 Black is honestly a steal! The Backfire brand is now my go-to! HIGHLY recommend!

This g2 is my first e-board and my first time skating in a long time. The board is super easy to use and is plenty fast with a great range. I weigh 195 lbs and it has no problem taking me around at 20+ mph. I easily get 10-12 miles of range and I really can’t say enough good things about it. It shipped in a couple of days and was honestly better than I thought it would be. My wife loves and stole it from me so I bought myself a zealot s. I am still waiting for that to ship but I will leave a review when I get it, I expect it also to be amazing like the g2 is.

Been riding electrics for awhile now and this board just knocked out the competition. Easy for beginners to intermediates. Smooth ride with good speed.

Great board so far!

My first time on a board in many years and I fell in love on the first ride. I am hooked!!! This is everything I hoped for and then some!

Great board but the remote came cracked which is kinda a bummer.

“Skip to bottom for summary” So I notice that there isn’t many reviews on these boards that actually tell you how the board is, now I’ve never owned an e-board but I did some very extensive research on the world of electric skateboarding and yeah it’s bigger than I thought I was working with a budget also and let me tell you picking the right board that goes with how you ride is kinda a hefty task at least for me it was, so I came across the blackfire G2 (2020 edition) not 2019 let me tell you I’m pretty blown away you can get something like this at its $429 price tag especially when I see so many boards hyped up and cost hundreds and thousands not gonna lie I was a little worried even thinkin if I just wasted my money but nope worth every penny pretty damn happy with it, so pros for me biggggg tires they help go over most things you’re gonna encounter but know the boards limits it won’t go over a curb let’s be realistic, now I’ve heard hobbywing ESC’s are one of the best around for smooth braking and acceleration but it’s still got some get up like it goes, now I’ve gotten 24 mph with 96mm wheels and you might be surprised how fast that actually feels when your out in the open on a piece of wood with wheels eco mode is perfect for those nice chill rides and motors go up most hills I’ve found pretty good which where maybe around 30 degrees of a slope and I’m pretty sure it could definitely go steeper but I’m not sure I live in a city area very flat for the most part, Range now I’m a small person I weigh about 130 and range is around 10 but I also but 85 mm wheels and an extended range battery so that I could go further my review Is also kinda biased since I have only had the board for one day but first impressions last forever the 2020 edition is also SEALEDDDDD ITS GOT RUBBER GASKETS AROUND THE BATTERY AND ESC which is pretty nice they added a another layer of water protection now the board does have a slight flex but for the most part it’s kinda on the stiff side which person I don’t have a preference for flex vs stiff so I’m okay with it trucks are solidddd they’re very nice and have great potential but I think the bushings are to hard so if you like to carve and chill then might wanna get softer bushings, now the updated 2020 version you get an lcd remote so wooooh got a screen has a trip meter, odometer, speedometer, board battery, remote battery, and gear hud so it got everything pretty much there is two buttons on remote power and gear button I like it because I found my myself in the dark and I was easily able to identify the correct buttons controller also vibrates when you switch gears or the battery on remote or board is low which is nice, so cons so far tbh just the bushings yep but only had it one day I plan on doing another review in the future so I can do a proper test on it I’m thinking maybe 100 miles or less idk I’ll figure it out but long story short this a very good board and it won’t disappoint, if you want a cheap board that’s good this is a worthy choice

TLDR: Great e-skate if your city has smooth and clean roads, but my city does not. I'd like to see bigger wheels, wider deck, and a more ramped deck lip. I don't feel as stable on it, compared to the deck of the Ranger X2. This is possibly because the area for the rear foot is more narrow than the front foot by about 0.5". You can't tell this from the photos on the website. Power is enough for hill climbing with groceries. The shorter length and lighter weight makes it easy to carry. Please make a mini all-terrain e-skate at this price point and power specs. Thanks :D

I weigh 230 lbs and it has no problem carrying me up hills. I use it to get to work every day and have for the past year (excluding some COVID periods) and it has never let me down. Sometimes it takes a second to turn on or off, but for me it's a non-issue. Hands down the best price and best quality on the market. I love the G2.

After doing extensive research into board in similar price ranges I decided on the G2 black. I am 6' and 190lbs and the board has no issue accelerating. I took at 3.5 mile ride yesterday and the board handled some pretty bad bumps and gaps with ease. Would highly recommend it!

So I received my G2 Black about 2 weeks ago and I am beyond thrilled with this board. I weigh 240 lbs and was concerned about getting an e board that would handle me. I did a lot of research on e boards and the G2 is everything it is advertised to be. It is very responsive with smooth acceleration and braking. It has just the right amount of flex and carves very well. It is also very quiet and the 96mm wheels are amazing. I ran it on the Eco setting for my first ride and then Sports mode. I leave it in Sports mode now as the speed is easy to control with the throttle wheel. I probably ride at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle most of the time but occasionally bump it up to full speed which definitely makes you focus on what you're doing. This is my first e board and I absolutely love it. I am riding it daily and my neighbors are all very jealous! Great job Backfire!!

This is a 5 star board. There is absolutely no complain. I ride it daily unless it's snowing.

I got my g2 as a early present in November a couple of days before The Holidays . To really start it off this the best brand I ever witness . My Board is a dream come true and I so Thankful for Backfire when I discovered this magic

I recently received the G3 for my birthday. Ever since the first ride, I've fallen in love with this thing. The acceleration and braking are both smooth and responsive. I was worried about the G3 being difficult to ride, however, from the very first ride that worry has been curbed. If you are in the market for a board or looking for a change of speed - I would encourage you to look at Backfire, not only are their products a lot of fun, they are well made, and my experience with customer service has been exceptional.

Bought this for my son after doing a lot of research and riding some very expensive boards. This rides almost as well as the $1k boards at an amazing price and the range is perfect for a high school kid who is looking to use it for shorter commutes under 3-4 miles one way. Super happy with the board.

I recently bought the G2 black and it was very fun but I started having issue with the battery! I was told to send it to the tech support, which I did and after waiting for a while I received my old battery. I was told that I will be getting a replacement battery. I wasted more than a week just to receive my same old battery. This was a terrible experience! The board is very fun to ride but the customer service... not that great!

It is my first skateboard in my life after to watch so meny reviews one YouTube I decide to get the G2 for the price and benefits, and I am 100% satisfied with the product. Actually my girlfriend is thinking to get mine and I will get a G3 for me :). Also de delivery here to Ireland form Germany was in less than a week. Sebastian Campos @seba_cb

Bought this board 2 days ago and i can't wait to use it, this would be my 1st back fire board so basically my test run before i buy the G3 plus for faster and longer range. I have the meepo's the verreal boards and a wowgo but with my research and what friends tell me backfire's truly one of the best because of satisfied customer base and having two i repeat 2 usa based offices in California and the east coast. Remarkable company and Remarkable price to performance equipment, i do believe i found my favorite board makers now.

You can't realistically be disappointed for 400 and some change. Plenty fast enough to hurt yourself. Two speed settings and low is perfectly fine for carving in parking lots. 10 -12 miles on a charge and a very predictable and stable remote. A USA warehouse and parts supply is the icing. This company's been around over 10 years.

I just got this board yesterday and I love it, it's really fast for the price, today I rode it and it lasted about 16 miles on a single charge, the big wheels are a really good addition. Of your looking for a budget board this is the one.

I love this thing it is so fast for the price and by far the best 400 board on the market this is a must by for city life it is so efficient BUY THIS 5 stars all day!!!!!

It has a full rear axle, waterproof enclosures, is plenty fast for most ppl (24mph) . It is very sleek and seems well made. No screws were loose, everything functions as it should. The best word i could use to describe it is €œsolid€. The 96mm wheels are fantastic too. In its price range it has no competitors that even come close in value.

the g2 black board is a really fun board. To only go 24 mph its pretty fast for the price. Love the board ,just covid made shipping a little longer.

First time ridding a electric long board. Following the recommendations of a lot of sites. Good buy for the first board but know I want more. If I have the chance I would have buy the G3 plus. I even ride it with my 5 years son at 23mph with both of us. Super nice experience.

Just have to say, love it i grew up surfing and my wife skateboarding. I am still new in long boarding can't quiet get the stance change down so I still kick Mongo. Regardless the board is amazing very well built great quality I use it sparingly but mostly stick to my onewheel my wife complete opposite, but 10/10 backfire bravo thank you so much for making our riding experiences so much more enjoyable. P.S. prior to the backfire my wife used a boosted board an I agree with her the backfire just feels better to ride.

Beside the time it took to ship us to COVID, this is a really fun board

I'll say it one more time. Get the board. You can thank me later.

Love my Backfire g2 :) feels like flying

I'm still on economic mode because I just got the board yesterday and 13mph feels fast. No cons yet besides that it took 6 weeks from order to delivery.

My friend has one and I really want it because they go so fast and are super smooth and durable

Long range, ok weight, lot of power, wheels 97mm, black color - exact what I need. No cons so far.

The value for your dollar is there! I would only suggest changing the front bearings to reds bearings and grabbing some orangatang bushings and it really transforms the ride into a true long boarding experience!

I have been debating and doing a lot of research on what board to get. And finally came accross Backfire. Firstly the design caught my attention, but as we all know we want the performance. The problem I have was there were not a lot of reviews in youtube for the Backfire G2Black. I kinda hesitated, but once I got a hold of the company and talked to them, there customer service was superb. Then I decided, this the Company I want to do business with. Heard so many bad things from other Electric Skateboard companies about Bad After-sales, But Not Backfire. They took care of customers before and after buying their product. The Board - can't say enough good things about this board, though it has some downsides since it is their Beginner Board, the battery life does not last that long since its just 5ah. But other than that, I enjoyed everything about it. I really thought it wont be that fast but I was wrong. Speed is enough to keep your adrenaline pumping. To add, the 96mm wheela are just massive, it is very comfortable in uneven pavements and roads.

Sometimes I wonder about the reviews on sites, thinking they might be fake, but these five star reviews don't lie. This board is beyond amazing. I had my doubts when I read words like "beginner" but there's nothing beginner about this board. I haven't been on a board in about 10 years so it's taking me awhile to get used to riding again, but damn this things got power. I tore through dirt, tons of gravel, a bit of water, and I even rode it up a fairly steep hill. Going down was a breeze with the brake too. Loved it. Only my first day with it so far, but I hope it lasts for awhile. Too much fun

It's great for commuting and getting away from all the noise.

Bought one online and I am almost in my 50's great smooth board once you learn the sweet spots for breaking and taking off. It's freak n scary fast in the sport mode deff want to wear some protective gear. But great fun for a lazy cruise along the beach or neighborhood.

Quality AND Trust! Fantastic and affordable E-Boards with Quality Components & 110% Customer Service to back it up. Nothing cheap here with their E-Boards, and you can rest assure that you are spending your hard earned money on Quality. Backfire has your back if there are any questions and/or issues. Buy with Confidence with No Regrets!

I've had the older g2 for around a year and ride it just about daily over 10 miles even at times when it rains ( I'm in Louisiana). The only knock is that the first hub wheels that came on the board wore and chucked within two weeks rough terrain but still quick , it took a lot but they sent me replacements. The replacements are still good and usable after more the 6 mo on bad roads. The board overall is durable and the customer service is better than most.

I got this board from my wife for Christmas. Man do I owe her something great! I live outside Houston and when it's not raining it's perfect to cruise. I added some lights to mine and I cruise at night alot. Gets tons of attention. I've cruised almost nonstop 4 hrs and still ready to go in morning. Certainly exceeded all expectations of what I thought was possible. I don't weigh much but it can take me though gravel and grass with ease. Spits pebbles out like a boss.

Lemme start this with saying this is actually my 2nd G2, because the 1st board's deck snapped. And Backfire customer support took care of it quickly. Effectively. And graciously. at first they just wanted to send a new deck and have me reassemble everything. All I had to do was ask for a whole new board if I sent the old one in, they agreed with no issue and even threw in free galaxy grip tape! So in my mind that's A to A+ kind of service, yeah? Range is competitive... for $500 and below. Power is REALLY nice... but inconsistent more than most due to battery charge. Weather and the like. But when it does give you full speed Go, it's a thrill. Speed control is Super S tier. Smooth get up and deceleration, good braking (though I could alwaus have them stronger) I think this is where the board REALLY shines. Definitely the easiest beginner board under $600. Only thing keeping hobbywing from being best ESC is the absence of an app. But hands down some of the smoothest "driving". Deck is... well like I said my first one snapped... admittedly it took a hard nose hit and that really is what did it in... BUT I really enjoy the ride of the deck and my 2nd board has had NO ISSUES!!! 96mm Wheels are pretty darn nice, not gonna lie. Could be smoother if you rode a belt with real cruiser wheels. But these HUB motors are pretty nice power wise, and thoughtfully built for longevity like water and dust protection, and ease of maintenance like wiring and sleeves. All in all: Bang for the buck: 10/10 Board as compare to best ever felt: 5/10 Board compared to price competition: 7/10 - range keeps it from being an 8. Service and support: 10/10... maybe even extra credit 11/10... After buying this and having faith in the company and the support, probably gonna buy the Ranger x2 for me and a G3 for the lady next holiday;)

Is the board water resistant

Board is flawless super stable i weigh 165 pounds and I have seen 26mph and have gone 8 plus miles with still more juice and only a loss of about 4 mph once you get to 30 percent battery and the WHEELS are simply amazing every crack bump sewer grate twig and potholes not a problem just eats them for breakfast and did i mention you get more attention than a Lamborghini lmao best money ive ever spent thanks backfire for making my commute awsome again

This board has a lot of torque. The power never fails and you always need to be ready to go full throttle or it will throw you off! But all is good, I love this board. Hands down Backfire doesn't hold back on quality and has the best looking boards out there.

I think Backfire Boards are really well made and even thought it was my first time riding it, i could still get around with ease. But i had a problem. In the little box in the middle, it was missing the users booklet, which didn't bother me that much. But again they are really great boards. I really enjoy riding it. And i'm already thinking of being the G3 which looks sick. Thanks Backfire

I've had two spades and this one is favorite one it's so fun just to ride

I have been riding this horse for about a month now going to work and back and it has saved my life. Always protect yourself with good padded gear the right lights and drive in your lane. Make sure to use your break slowly. Keep your trucks tight and you can go everywhere on the best budget in the USA. Thank you backfire

This thing is sick. Just order it already. Nothing you will regret. So practical to commute on

It has a amazing quality of board and technology for only 399. I Highly recommend this!

Well Ive owned my G2 Black for a few weeks and I have nothing bad to say about it. As far as range goues you wont be disappointed. I average 12 miles like the say on thier page. I've actually eeked 16 miles out of it on eco mode while riding on a flat somewhat smooth bike trail. On the other hand while riding through traffic in Portland using sport going top speed the whole time and a couple of large hills I only gor 8 miles. As far as hill climbing goes there isn't a hill or bridge in Portland the can stop me it climbs very well. I do only wheigh 150 to 160 pounds depending on the gear I have on. Also the highest top speed i could get on flat smooth road was 22.5 mph. I did order a 6ah battery and the g2t esc kit though so im assuming that it will go a lot faster. Also make sure you oil your bearings befor you ride it because mine came dry from the factory. Carving with the stock front truck isn't that great but the board is very stabe at 22mph. The rear truck is actually nice and carvy though. I replaced the front with a Atlas truck and cone bushings and the board carves like a knife now. I give it 2 thumbs up.

It's amazing fun the price defiantly a must have.

Best bang for your buck with this board. Feels like a 600 dollar board for 400. Completely satisfied with my purchase.

Backfire has one of the best customer service teams that I have worked with. I had tons of questions in which all were answered in less than 15 minutes! Knowing that there is a great company behind the board is reassuring. The boards are absolutely awesome and are well built. Definitely has the best budget boards in the market and would highly recommend buying from them. The packaging and the board arrived flawless and the simple packaging was helpful. I do wish that the cheaper boards had come with the nicer remote. The remote for the G2 black has no screen to see any information and board errors if need be. The wheels are actually very nice and should easily last up to 6 months from daily use. I learned that all of the backfire boards have regenerative breaking which is a super cool feature. I'd highly recommend the G2 Black and can't wait to see what backfire boards have coming in the future!

Good adult toys

Ordered it on Monday, got it on Wednesday. Already put 35 miles on it. Loving it

Amazing company with great customer service! I am glad I chose Backfire Skateboards!

perfect.

What is the weight limit?

The only company that answered my call great customer service. Hands down. I just ordered my board. Thanks guys u rock. Will be posting videos from Hawaii. Aloha and mahalos. Jay. @imortalines on instagram

I'm not an expert driver but I have "studied" esk8 a lot before buying this board. Comparing its specs and its price this looked like a great option so I pulled the trigger. I received it from China in 2 weeks (great!). The board arrived in perfect conditions and it really looks gorgeous. Very clean and well finished, like a premium product. I had not ridden a skate since I was 13 (many many years ago) and it took me 2 minutes to be able to ride at low speed with pleasure. Its is really a beginner board in the meaning that it is easy to ride, but it looks also like a great e-skateboard, not at all like a toy. By now I'm really impressed and I fell like recommending it without any reserve

I have had my Backfire G2 Black for about a week now, it came in only 5 days! I use it for fun and for small commuting trips to the store or to run errands close to my home. I am a heavier rider, and this thing goes up hills with no problem at all!!! This is my 1st E-board and I was really skeptical about buying one. It took about 7 months of research before I came to a decision. The range and the speed seem to all be very accurate. I reached a top speed of 21mph on flat ground , and I seem to get an average range of about 10 miles. I mostly ride in pro mode, and I am over the rider weight limit so I feel that these stats are great!!! The one and only con of the board is it's stiffness, you feel every bump or crack in the road, which makes your legs sore after about half battery life. I love this board!!!, and I can't wait to find another one with a more flexible deck, but after such a great 1st experience with Backfire I do not wish to buy from any other company. THE G3 WILL BE MINE SOON. Thank you so much Backfire for making such a great, beautiful, strong and powerful product!!

I ordered on a Monday and had it by Friday. Thanks BF! Very smooth, solid build quality. I like it a lot. Plenty of power and speed for cruising and carving. I got mine on the 10th anniversary sale so I fell good about it. I think it will hold up well because the build quality seems excellent.

I bought mine on sale I was saving for the g2 2019 but perfect timing backfire truly the best me and my friends been crushing the streets like a boss highly recommended

I bought My first electric skateboard, simply amazing. Highly recommended

I love this board it holds up to everything I throw at. I live in nyc so the roads and and side walks aren't the best but this board eats it up like no other. I did put the 93mm wheels on and I picked up about 3-4 mph more but I lost the brutal acceleration that this board has.(I Weigh 140 on a good day. Fast ever recorded 25.7mph$ Ps thanks for making a great board backfire

It help so much on crack , rocks and poor road . You gain top speed and you feel stronger and safer with these wheels . My g2s came with 80mm only. 80mm was ok but didn't last that much. Then i've order the 96mm couple weeks after and it's change everything !:) even more autonomy batterie with these

On my previous review i stated that the max speed was 19+ . I want to give a honest review and have to say that in general i do get 20+. Still not as advertised. But i also keep using this board because it carves better than the ownboard and is lighter. So for fun riding (carving and sharp turning) i also like this board in its own right. Still wish it would have a better speed, torque and range and expected more from the new 350 watt motors . But this is were the ownboard w2 comes . i do however agree that this is a good beginner board and a lighter person will get better speed and range. So for the price it is a nice board.

I love the deck of this board, its bouncy yet stiff at the same time. So while I'm riding at top speeds, I feel completely stable. Also this board has an amazing top speed, especially with the big wheels. But the acceleration, with both small and big wheels takes me like 10 seconds to get to top speed. My weight is 155 lbs, so this is ridiculously sluggish. Also going up hill, this board cant climb the hills it claims to save its life. The range is extremely exaggerated and I'm getting about 6-7 miles max. The battery sag, oh my lord. When you drop below 50% it feels like you're riding slower than the slow mode on this board.

tThe board has the looks but i found the top speed a real letdown. 78KG and topspeed of 19+mph. I also own the ownboard w2 and this backfire is a stiffer ride. i do like the bushings so it carves easy. But man my ownboard belt drive does 27mph and has far better torque. 19 is very slow and does not meet the specs of 23.5mph. I did manage a range of over 10 miles with a average speed of 16.4mph. after that the speed dropped to 17-18mph but got a total of 11.4 miles but speed dropped at the end 8mph. So range is as advertised. I have the feeling that the esc holds the topspeed down. torque get less after about 8 miles so you get the topspeed but i does take longer to get there

I'll post more when we get better weather but it's scary quick until I tightened down the trucks for top speed road use. It was a fast learning curve too. Learn on the eco setting then graduate to the full speed mode. The ride is big 80's Cadillac smooth. You'll still prefer better roads but the worst pavement no longer needs avoided with these big wheels. Jason and Jerry have been fantastic with my questions and customer service for me truly means a lot. I ride my longboard to walk (be pulled by) my dog. I'm in chemo therapy this summer to beat cancer so this board allows me to do what I love despite the Charleston SC heat. This is well worth the price of admission! Go for it! You will not regret it. Shipping was faster than advertised!

Love the board, although i notice the cracks in the board mentioned in other revidera. Other than that it has great top speed and breaks, nice feel and decent battery life.

Pros: -High quality deck -Smooth ride, goes over rocks and cracks with ease -Very fast. It can get scary trying to get max speed -I live in a hilly area and it's climbing them pretty easily (I weigh 175-180lb) -Amazing value for the board/performance -No vibration issues Cons: -Range is okay (but you can upgrade it by buying a bigger battery) -Small flex on the deck. Depending on how long you plan on riding the board for, you might experience some feet pain. -Grip tape ripped my sweater lol

I haven't even bought the board yet but after seeing every unboxing video on YouTube the is, plus comparing to other similar models, hearing reviews from those who have bought it and ridden it for a while (like Daniel Kwan)(I tried to get his used one!) I know deep in my soul, 100% that this is the board I was born to ride. Got another job to help me pay for it! I'll be seeing you in bout 3 weeks backfire!
