Great for college campuses and fun rides. Feels much more expensive than it actually is
David D.
This is my first experience ever riding any type of board and I couldn’t have ask for a better first board. I love it, along with speed safety and handling this board is overall just FUN. I highly recommend it.
Jonathan L.
It’s great as a beginner board and handles all types of weather and road.
Jon L.
Only been on the board once….but holy this thing is awesome!!! Maybe I shouldn’t have let my son on it because I might need to buy another. Thanks
Maria A.
Awesome! I never skated before, but got the hang of Backfire G2 by the third attempt and was even able to go for a cruise. Can definitely recommend this to any beginner even if you are approaching 40. :D
Don C.
Way easier and safer than I expected. Great quality for the money than expected. It’s a blast
Rudi S.
I had my backfire black for about two weeks now and I love it. I got it in 3 days after ordering and it is plenty of fast 24 miles an hour is my top speed so far and that is plenty fast for me. I look forward to riding it everyday. It is definitely everything they make it out to be. Thank you backfire for the awesome product.

I just turned 40years old and I’ve been pushing a skateboard for about 35 years. I will never push a skateboard again, don’t call me lazy, I still get a good workout with my thumb instead. The mounted headlight is super cool, really lights up the way. Backfire should design their own and integrate it in for future models or possibly offer one as an accessory. No complaints, most fun I’ve had in a while!
Philip P.
I have the Backfire G2 and Meepo V3.. The Backfire G2 is a comfortable ride.. The Meepo V3 is Faster but I still pick my G2 because it is a smoother ride you don't feel all the bumps and cracks while riding.
Michael M.
Best value board ever! Haven’t been on a board in over 20 years and this was an ease to re learn. Balance and speed felt great, highly recommend for beginners.
Shantia R.
Been having a lot of fun!
Hayley S.
Amazing board I love it, speedy shipping too :)
Philip P.
I have a Meepo V3 that I road everyday..it has 600 plus miles.. I got the G2 few days ago and it's my new go to board that I will be riding.. yes the V3 is faster.. but the G2 is far far more comfortable to ride.. the deck in my opinion is perfect.. and the bigger wheels so I'll be riding a bunch of my G2 can't wait!
Jeffrey J.
Great board! Extremely happy with the overall experience ordering from BackFire! Quick shipping, quality product!!!

Lichong C.
Top-notch material and easy to maneuver! just a bit heavier than expected. need to buy a backpack to carry around.
Jason W.
It's exactly what I'm looking for! It's So fun and perfect for what I needed. Only wish the battery was bigger, I get roughly 10 miles at 240lbs but I knew that when buying it. Overall awesome board plus a short delivery time!
Gia N.
Super dope board. Great for beginners!
Osvaldo R.
The best longboard ever
Calob M.
I Use this skateboard every day and love it would recommend 10/10 buy a helmet though i fell and banged up everything
Ethan R.
The board is awesome, comes with a lot in the box, and it’s really fine. Sadly I have already damaged it and put 80 miles on it. Overall I would recommend.
Lyndon H.
I love it so much.it’s the best thing I have ever spent my money on. Definitely want an upgrade. I’m gonna attach led lights and a speaker to it as well
Josh Z.
Lots of fun my only problem is that I can’t see how fast I’m going in mph
Alain B.
Delivery delays were awefull. Arrivedin August.

John F.
Perfect for getting around Texas State University campus. Has no issues with the hills!
Greyson S.

Oliver P.
Definitely worth the money. Can not tell in word how much I love this board. Thank you Backfire
Zachary G.
The Backfire G2 has been really fun and resourceful to use. I take it with me on my runs to the gym and to the supermarket. It's also been great making skate videos with as well. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Hovertips
Super fast and fun, very durable
Charles H.
I love this board, great board for starting out at a great price.
Johana L.
This was my 1st ever electric longboard and man let me tell you this was the best purchase I've made in a long time I love it I can't stop riding it around throughout my neighborhood I'm addicted My next purchase will be the backfire G3
Gavin L.
Great board love the thing to death for a beginner board. The only thing I have to say is the led screen gets super scratched very easily when holding or your nails Touch it. But besides that board the remote feeling is awesome would definitely by this board and the others
Jeffrey F.
51 year old rider, and my first time on a board in about 25 years. The Backfire G2 Black was easy and fun from the start. Comfortable, stable, and within a few minutes I was carving with no difficulty and having a blast. Highly recommend this board.
Raydeliz s.
Best purchase I've made as a beginner. I gave it alittle spin with the grip tape but my G2 is amazing. I use it everyday for hours.
Rogerio W.
I love this skateboard. It is the most fun I've had in a while.
Michael C.
The board is great for beginners and has decent speed I got about 22 out of it consistently and about 25 on a slight decline. As far as range I was a little disappointed as well. As on full charge I got about 9 miles of range and that’s all the way from 100%-0%. Granted I was pushing the board 15mph and above for about half of the ride. But I was hoping with moderate riding I could at least get about 10-12. Overall the board seems solid has just enough flex for me to carve but still be stable with the trucks adjusted to weight and style. For the price it is a great board and I definitely recommend it if you’re considering getting into eskating as a first board. Good quality with decent specs. Thanks for the fast shipping backfire. Next up is zealot
Jacob L.
I absolutely love this electric skateboard. I got it a few days ago and have been using it all the time. The board and packaging feels high quality and the deck is grippy. The controller is very responsive and it is easy to learn how to ride. This board is great for beginners and I highly recommend it.
Kyle M.
What more can I say beyond simply saying this is the coolest $430 I ever spent. Not a flashy board, but I’m honestly a big fan of the stealth black. Backfire is also the best in the business when it comes to customer support. They give quick responses and I can see the passion they have for their products. This company was definitely born from people who are fans of the eskate culture and not just another company trying to get a good buck. Dealing with Exway was a living nightmare. After I was fed up I canceled my order and went straight to Backfire. Never looked back. Thinking about getting a Mini now for increased portability. But back to this board. Comfortable ride, really strong sleeves for the motors, I’ve yet to see any degradation and I have about 70 miles so far and I’m 240 pounds. Don’t let the budget price fool you, this board is higher quality than most. It’s excellent for beginners. It has enough range for my daily commute, though I wished they could’ve squeezed a few more miles in the battery. With my weight and 15 mph average speeds I get about 9ish miles. HOWEVER, that is the ONLY thing I really could say could be improved. I bought the board when there was stock in the US warehouse and I’m in California currently, so I got the board in about 4 days. If you’re thinking about it, the answer is simple, just go for it and you won’t be disappointed!
Gustavo A.
The skateboard is awesome I really recommend it ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Sonia W.
Love the product. However, the time it took to receive it was longer than expected.
Cottrell H.
I love it to death I do wish it comes with lights and bigger wheels but I love it nice board
Alan S.
It's a great, reliable well made borad.
Thomas S.
Great speed and a fun slightly stiff ride.
Young K.
First time buyer for my 12 year old son and I couldn't be happier with the product. I used to skateboard quite a bit (Powell & Peralta boards) but never rode an electric board. The product works right of the box and the remote is easy to use. It took my son about 2 days of practice before he got comfortable riding it around and he never skateboarded ever until now. It's so easy to ride and fun that now I can't get him off it! Only regret is that I think I should've shelled out more for the higher end Backfire boards which look really nice on the website:)
Nick W.
Fun board! Have like 50 miles on it so far and love it. Make sure to get elbow pads, knee pads, and helmet. And don’t fall going 20 miles an hour. I did that today. I went to brake because I saw a split in the concrete coming and when I hit the brakes it happened to be on a little bit of loose dirt and I ate crap. I have road rash everywhere and my elbow is swollen. Unfortunately I love it and am addicted so I’ll be riding again tomorrow
Lisa P.
Very happy with the purchase. Perfect power and great battery life. Rides great!
Ben Z.
This is a must buy action toy! It is awesome! Be gentle though it’s not your old school skate board to thrash and throw around. If you buy one of these you will not be disappointed.
Luke W.
Been the best investment I’ve made in a while! Great for commuting, fun, exercising your dog. Whatever. Will be buying an upgrade soon!
Jessica G.
Awesome board has a lot more power than I expected 10/10
Timothy A.
Just got my g2 black 2020 and I love it!!! Put some red caliber ii’s on it and will be ordering some cloud wheels next!!! Thank you backfire!!!!
Troy K.
Backfire G2 Black was my first E-Skate board, and I have loved it. It came in a week even after covid. I would recommend it to anyone who is getting their first electric longboard.
CONNER C.
amazing, i broke my wrist going Mach 5 but honestly 10/10 experience so far would definitely recommend gloves helmet and pads, incredible bored, smooth ridding, nice acceleration, easy to work controls, more then enough power to go on cut grass and rocky terrain i can get from work and back on one charge, its around a 7 mile ride, i got this about a month ago and i already have 140 miles on it, love it
Ralph L.
I want to start off by saying the shipping was LIGHTING FAST. I was able to enjoy it for Father’s Day. I was impressed on the sleek look and power it has. I was pounding the pavement almost immediately. Braking power is spot on. Thanks
Kyle R.
This board absolutely rips. I’m a bigger guy and this thing still scoots me around. Uphill/downhill/flat ground it does it all.
Chris v.
I’ve never had a electric skateboard before but can I just say this is the absolute BEST starter board out there. And for the price no other board can beat.
Backfire g2 pros: long ride time, cruise control for comfortable rides, remote connects to board instantly and no lag time between board and remote, board is solid and feels great to the feet while riding, acceleration is just amazing for a beginner board, remote tells you everything you need to know
Backfire g2 cons: bearings and wheels may wear out fairly quickly but that is to be expected. Bearings and wheels depend on condition of terrain you ride on, board doesn’t have USB port but other than that I see nothing wrong at all with this board.
BEST purchase I have ever made. I ride it every day and all my friends love it and people find it so cool! Love my backfire g2 and plan on getting the backfire g3 plus here soon!!!
Michael P.
Awesome board, definitely can keep it's battery life, and it shipped and got to my house in about 4 days which is amazing. Overall love it and recommend it 100% to anyone debating on buying one.
Jared W.
everything is perfect on this board i use it every single day and i get as many people as possible to get one ! 5 stars perfect and the shipping is super fast as well
Rinda R.
Burb living is the best. That being said, my 35 year old son got one of these for himself and quickly introduced his younger (34 year old) and older (40 year old long-haul truckdriver) to it's awesomeness. So much so that I bought the younger and older brothers their own. Grandma rides her bike, Grandsons ride their scooters and Granddaughters sit on skateboards with their Papa's. Sooooo much versatility for solo or group fun. As a bonus, the company gave me a discount because I ordered two without me even asking! We're going to do our best to take care of these but when the Grands are ready for their own... we will most certainly be back!!
Marsha F.
12 yr old grandson loves it and it arrived within 3 days. Amazing!
micah l.
Best board dor beginners 100% recommend.
Robert B.
Bought this for my 11 year old son. He loves it. In his words it’s fast and handles well.
Brent S.
I had zero skateboarding experience before this and after a few days I'm comfortable on it. The battery last me quite a while and the brakes are legit. Spark up a preroll and have some fun
Scotty P.
Amazing ride! Love this thing! I recommend that all my friends get one immediately
Paul H.
First electric longboard- I was a skateboarder back in the 80s when skateboarding wasn't all that cool, so this is still in my blood. After about 35 years of zero boarding, I'm back and on the Backfire Black G2 and I am having a blast! The Backfire G2 Black is perfect if you're like me, a beginner with skateboarding experience from years ago. In no time, I was carving, hitting high speeds, and zipping around exploring parts of the area I hadn't seen- without all the tiring leg pushes. Plenty of speed and just enough distance for starting out-- after a bit, you're going to want an upgrade for sure! One of the greatest things about this board in the US is it's a conversation starter. I've met so many different types of people who are interested in the board, it's fun to have something that can break through that typical American ignorance. If you're interested in longboarding, cruising around exploring your surroundings and having a great time with a chance to meet some interesting people on the streets, get it!
Michael W.
I love this board. I took a few hard falls and got some nasty road rash but man is this fun. It’s a board for beginners and it’s very smooth to ride and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Thank backfire
Ty G.
The shipping process was a bit crazy! There was NO accurate tracking info, and this being my first big purchase, It was very hard for me!!! However, All said and done, I received my board and it is AMAZING!!!
Rylee C.
Has great power . First electric longboard but im not getting close to 11miles of range at all. On eco mode only for the whole charge i get about 8-9miles. While using partially sport mode for about half the battery then going into eco mode afterwords i get 8 miles of use.
Stephen C.
Really pleased with the overall quality of the board and look forward to using more Backfire Products!
Paul G.
I turn 55 this year on June 11th, this was my birthday present and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I love this board and will ride it as long as I can. I'm actually pretty good hahaha
Don L.
Excellent distance on a single charge. Smooth on rough terrain. Ordering a second one for my son.
Dawson W.
Great bang for your buck. Really fun and plenty fast.
Matthew K.
Just got the board today unfortunately it rained most the day so I only got 9 miles clocked on it so far but overall I absolutely love the board a purchase I don't regret at all!!
Norma O.
I bought the G2 black for my sons 16th birthday and he loves the board. My wife gave it a try but she says it is to fast. Super fast shipping I got it in one day. The range on the board is really good and so far my son is enjoying his new board
George A.
Bought this for the kiddos and me to ride down the street to a near by playground. Uber fun. Easy a kid can instinctively maneuver on it. And with the eco-mode safety is a priority with my little ones
Jon G.
Great starter board! This thing offers an excellence bang for buck ride vs every other board I found!
matt h.
Absolutely love this board! 25mph is insane and this board is so smooth at those hight cruising speeds. Huge wheels is a huge plus. I've ran over some big rocks and pieces that should of stopped the board. The controller is very comfy and very responsive. Highly recommend this board. Very solid build.
Tyrone G.
I love the board,I actually fell off of it going 24mphand I hurt my knee very bad but over all it’s a good board
Quinn D.
overall good board, i got mine back in 2019 but after about 1200 miles I started getting some real issues, initially my bearings for the hub motors wore down so much it was grinding, had to replace it which was not an issue. What was an issue was after I replaced it the opposite motor started to also grind, but for some reason the one I fixed spins considerable less than the one I have not touched, even tho the one i did not touch is now also grinding. at the end of it all backfire did tell me I could send my board out to be looked at, but I was also told I could be charged service, maintinence, shipping, AND the cost of parts. Overall the budget board is exactly that and lasted me about a year less than I expected. I just ordered the zealot S to give belt drive a chance, Im hoping the zealot wont have major issues after 1k miles.
Daniel B.
So I'm 47 years old and thought id never be on any type of skateboard again until I saw my 50 year old neighbor flying up our street grinning ear to ear on his G2 Black. I had to get one. Mine came 2 weeks ago. I've had a face boner ever since. So damn fun, don't hesitate.

Went out for a rip around my neighborhood and could not believe how smooth of a ride it was. Not to mention how sturdy but responsive the board was.
Byron J.
These boards are built solid. You can tell as soon as you see it in person. We also have regular longboards here and they both cost about 300$. They're not as solid as the G2 black. It's also amazing the things this board can roll over. Not much will stop it if you know how to ride. We've climbed some steep hills and if you build speed before the hill and it's not crazy long you make it to the top effortlessly. I've had to deal with customer service once and it was smooth as silk. Everything was delt with very fast. Also these boards are very fast. Top speed is true. I definitely recommend this board and company
Ty S.
I just bought mine and it came in in 2 days like omg! We spent hours searching for company’s that ship in us and that are good and have replaceable motors and stuff! Worth the price
Richard A.
This board is marketed as a “beginner board.” I would have to respectfully disagree! People will argue hub motors vs belt driven, 23 mph vs 30+ mph, shorter battery charge vs longer charge, etc. but what I can say is that this “beginner board” is a blast no matter your skill level. You can spend twice as much on a higher skill level board, but you’ll have just as much fun on this one.
Ryan L.
Love my g2 I ride it to and from work almost everyday. The only thing I wish it had is a longer range. My kids love sitting on it in the living room and having me bring them from wall to wall.
Brandon C.
I spent a year looking for my first eboard, and there are just so many boards out there that I was paralyzed for the longest time, not wanting to buy the wrong one. I finally just said screw it and bought the G2 and I couldn't be happier with it. I've had it a week and already ridden 26 miles around Manhattan and it's better than I thought it would be - great range, definitely in the neighborhood of 11-12 miles, and crazy speed - it handles hills like it's nothing. I love powering up a hill flying past bikers who are struggling on the pedals....
Anyway, if you are struggling to decide, go with the G2. You'll be happy with it and it's a great price.
Justin G.
G2 Black just arrived today! Charged it up and threw on some CloudWheels before heading out for the 1st time! It was a blast and I love it!!! I’ve got venom bushings on the way but to be honest the stock bushings are solid! I’m a big guy 6’ 265lbs and this board has no problems moving me around and it feels very premium. I would never guess it was only $430! I highly recommend this board to literally Anyone! Beginner or Amateur this bored is for you!!
Octavio R.
Its a great electric skateboard! Very fast and the added weight makes it stable. It goes very fast so being careful should your priority. I received my backfire skateboard may 6th and by may 9th I had fallen and fractured my clavicle bone. Please be careful riding one of these.
Kristin O.
I bought this electric skateboard for my son, and he absolutely LOVES it!!
Matt M.
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!!
Aaron B.
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!!
João A.
Love the board and my daughter also so we will be buying one mor board to have fun together
Chandler E.
First 5 miles have been awesome so far, can't wait to put it to use this summer
