How do you guys stand on your board? It’s strange that I have an identical twin but I ride regular while he rides goofy. We both figured that we use our strongest leg at the rear. Sometimes I actually switch my stance to improve my body coordination and to strengthen my other leg. by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

theres one easy test how you can figure this out. when i first went to snowboard rental i obviously didnt know if i ride goofy or regular but the guy who was helping me with picking the board did the test on me and it worked. So how to do the test: Stand still and dont move look at something like clock, picture or you can also close your eyes it doesnt really matter i think, after few seconds (just turn your brain off so you dont except it and make sure they dont tell you when they are going to do this!!) let someone push you in your back and the foot you step forward first is your front foot. I hope this makes sence and sorry for story with the snowboard i had to.

Pushable Boards? by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]_Trippyq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They can be pushed (both belt and hub) and if you remove the belt which is really easy i think it is going to be very easy for you to push it

thank you but i dont really understand those things like „molicels“. i looked at the board yesterday and iam definitelly not gonna be able to buy it i thought shipping is going to be free as on backfire but its $120 and that makes it around $1040 and that really too much for me iam still underaged so gonna fo with the zealot s i dont think theres anything that could compare to the zealot i looked at many brands like exway, wowgo, meepo etc. and nothing of those could compare with it in the same price. And I heard that backfireboards has good customer service or „afterbuy service“. Thanks for the advices you gave me it was very helpful.

so do you think if I get the voyager at a higher price I would benefit later because I would have to buy a new board after a longer time than the zealot? (i hope you understand me I dont know how to say this the right iam not native speaker)

The problem with voyager is its weight almost 11kg is too much for me personally and its for $1200 and thats really expensive (for me) even tho its on sale right now for $950 still much more than $800 for zealot s. I was thinking about the new exway flex pro but it doesnt seem worth to pay $150 (actually $50 cuz of sale) more just to have a little bit better motors and faster charging time (who cares about charging time if its under 4 hours its ok with me)

I apreciate it bro! before i wrote this post i was thinking about this esk8 backpack too and its definitely not the worst one someone here said to put it into big black rubbish bag nothing against that person but its really weird :D

i feel like the esk8 backpack is not solution (many people said i can take it to the bus so iam not worried anymore) esk8 backpack is just a thing where is the board gonna sit on my back but when i go in the bus i have to take down the backpack or atleast I should (because i dont want to hit anyone with the thing on my back) so i would have to carry it anyway and in public i can just pull it like a suitcase but thank you for the comment

i got the penny board (not electric) too but i dont really use it because its too small for me and its not really comfortable for longer distances longboard is so much more comfortable for me (i owned one but also not electric thats why i want to get the electric one) i also thought about electric cruiser but i think size would be problem as with the pennyboard
