Hello from Orange County, CA! This was 1000% worth the wait and extra expense. I received my board and promptly took it on some of our mountain biking trails to test its power and ...view moreperformance on bumpy terrain. This is my first electric board and I have been nothing but impressed. The power is really impressive even for a larger guy like me (220lb). It climbs well and turbo mode helps with some of the steeper areas. I'll need to tighten the trucks before going faster since they come a bit loose. The remote gives really good control both with acceleration and braking. The regenerative breaking adds quite a bit of juice back to the battery when going back down hill. For any paved roads it just handles whatever you want to throw at it. I'm so much more confident with it after riding some single track areas. This board has been a childhood dream come true for me. Thank you, Backfire!! ---- Some side note comments and questions: The mudguards require you to remove the default rear wire housing before installing since the part that attaches to the trucks acts as the new wire housing. I'm also curious if there is any danger/concern with the battery when breaking too much with a board at near or full charge. When I go up the trails, some areas are just too steep and I need to walk up so I have a lot of charge when going downhill. I guess I think this way because my car stops its regenerative breaks when fully charged. view less
