Product Overview

After testing out the BACKFIRE G2 Black Electric Skateboard, I can confidently say that it is one of the best entry level electric skateboards in the market. It is perfect for beginners looking to get into skateboarding, and intermediate riders who want an upgrade from their existing board.

The board has a top speed of 24mph/38kph and a range of 11 12.5 miles/18 20km with an 80kg rider in S mode at 30km/h speed on flat roads. It has 400w hub motors and a digital screen remote controller which makes controlling the board easy and intuitive.

The construction of the board is solid and durable, with a plastic deck that is 9 inches wide and 38 inches long. It has a load capacity of 240 pounds and wheels made from polyurethane with a durometer hardness of 83A.

I found that this board was incredibly stable, even at high speeds, so it was easy to learn how to ride it safely without worrying about losing control. The value for money was also excellent as you get all these features for an affordable price.

Overall, I would highly recommend this skateboard to anyone looking for an entry level electric skateboard as it provides great features at an affordable price. The stability provided by the board makes it easy to learn how to ride safely, while the top speed and range make it suitable for both beginners and intermediate riders. The digital screen remote controller also makes controlling the board very easy and intuitive. BACKFIRE provides excellent after sales service with 180 days limited warranty from the date of purchase for any manufacturing defects excluding bearings, wheels and grips which are wear tear parts .
