I was one of the first to buy the backfire G2 from the Indiegogo campaign. It is a great board, fast and light with a decent range even on the basic battery. It has a real longboar...view mored feel with a very flexible deck. I like the replaceable PU sleeves and I did not find these older PU only wheels to be a problem -only a small amount of vibration for 80 mm wheels. I love the old controller and the ESC was smooth both in acceleration and braking. The customer service is very strong and responds quickly to your inquiries. They will also do what it takes to make you happy and stand by their products. I give them a 5-stars too! I only give this review a 4-stars because the original battery that came with the board had a problem and would die too soon and shut the board down. A new battery fixed that, but it took some time to figure it out. At first it seemed it might be the ESC (a new one was sent to me with no charge), but in the end it was a faulty battery. Since that was fix some time ago, the board has been amazing. Now all I need to do is upgrade it to the G2S! view less
Can I switch this for my G2t battery I see the measures are just a tad bigger, but I would like a bigger battery in my skate
Cause I have a G2t and its awsome
Works very well in the city. I live in Miami, the streets and side walks are really bad sometimes. Originally I started off with a standard electric skateboard and it forced me to ...view morehave to use the roads because the sidewalk was too dangerous. With this thing, I feel safe no matter where I go. Went from my place to South Beach and back, a total of 16 miles on a single charge. When you first get the board, tighten everything. For some reason nearly every bolt that had to do with the wheels was loose. The trunks, tighten them to eliminate wobble at high speed. My only complaint with this board is that its massive and its very heavy. After lugging this board up stairs, trains and other things, you will be guaranteed a work out and bigger muscles over time. view less
Good board with nice finish
The deck is made by quality material, I like the finish. The wheels and bearings are smooth and quite, as good as I expected. I plan to upgrade wheels down the road anyway.
